ANNEXATION
ABOLITIO . SIsTS 'WILL GO TOO! SENILY CLAY:
The truth should not be disguised, Mr. Clay is
not an abolitionist, that is' not an ultra abolition
ist, ryr are we. We are, however, from our hearts
opposed to the la holelsybtem of shivery. we op.
,pose it from principle, because it is repugnant . to
our human sympathies, and corrod ing in its prac
tical e ff ects. But, we'can only hope for its ex
tinction bylthat gradual and Progressive system
which has Already ridden the northern states of the
evil., We -believe, and we give our opinion not
as a politician, but as a man, seriously and sin
cerely, that, if left to herself, without any acces
' sion of pewiT, or augmentation c'tf territory, the
south, either from policy or r.biolute necessity, or
both, will, at no very remote dat e ; cease to be a
slave holding - country. Her discriminating jUdg
rnent is already pointing out the course she 'should
adopt. She is naturally reluctant to fall into it
at once, because she is boand to her trais.by the
chain of habit., which strengthening witther Years,
las become too permanently fixed to be broken
' by a temporary twinge-of conviction or the power
-of a half-formed resiolution. It; Will be broken,
, however; men seldom battle long against a clear
conviction of honest interest. . We said - that abo !
litionists were going for Mr. Urj r i,r ; it is true—
we rejoice to see it, it shows a determination no
longer to act as if their conduct greW out of an in
verted state of their inclinations stimulated by a
retrocede vibration of. their
r ideas Of • right and
wrong. We Wizard the assertion that very few
intelligent abolitionists will re'adlthe letter of Mr.
Bereh'ard, a prominent abolitidnist of Hamilton,
New York. and the reasons urg# by him for vo
ting for Mr: CLAT, without acknowledging. the
soundness of his position and the togeneyfof his
'arguments. Mr. 13.. recognizes ;the true issue, in
the present canvass---confesses honestly, that Mr
I:limey has not a remote chance of-ieceiving one
state in the Union ; and argueS furcibly, that if
either James K. Polk or Henry ;lay are to , be elec
ted, abolitionists - will be traitors to their holy cause
if ; indirectly, by tupporting Nir.t Birney, they aid
in electing James K. Polk, whOse opinion upon
this, as well as . upon almost every other questicin
of governmenfal policy, and political . economy,
differs directly with theirs. Mrl, Polk is the avow
ed advocate of annexation, and consequently of
the eatention and perpetuitionl of slavery. Mr.
Burchard holds it t i c, be the d'u l ty of abolitionists
to sustain Mr. Ccar, because he is opposed teen
nexation.--thecause both he and his party are iden
tified with measures which in 1 tl.e main accord
with their own opinions.
' We reg.et that cro•vding matter of more genera
importance prevents our publishing his letter.
QUERIES,.
As the Loeofoeos are deadly I hostile to making
improvements by the General government and to
distributing thii Laud fund among the States, we
hope the Whigs will - put the' folowing queries to
every locofucci they meet: •
Queer , Ist. As it is now satisfactorily.ascer
taMed that the revenue derived from 'the present
Whig T:niffis not only sufficient to defray nil the
expenses of the General G,overnment, but, will be

will they do with the Land fund in the National
Treasury i

Land fund creates more revenue than an econom

Butler (Locofoco) and Dixon (Whig) were
both very popular men in the l state, while. Owslei

popular. This .accounts for the dispaiitY in the

From the Ca;lisle &atesman, a warm sUPporter
' of Mr. Polk.
THE TARIF ; PROTECTION.
We observe with pleasure that the dernocracy
of New York are taking the right grounds on
these subjects.' Anything beyond a mare revenue
tariff; any impost measure with a view to 'protec
tion is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC, and will assu
redli be discountenanced when Mr. Polk suo ,
coeds to the Presidency. .We wish to keep these
facts distinctly before the people, In order that
when our pally comes into power and caries its
professions into pa lice, we at feast mart ' not be
charged deception. We repeat What we
have heretofore said : THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IS OPPOSED TO THE TARIFF
BILL OF 1#4.2, and if successful in this cam
paign, will repeal that Bill, and
.substitu'e!one bar
red on the principle of the compromise ea—that
is, in plain language, - a simple revenue] tariff of
15 0r.20 percent.
Wher- :he lea of the • piny
..iererer the ptincim, party, ~,
estly altowed; this is the' doctrine preached.; and
how can it be otherwise, iri supporting Mr: Polk,
who has pledged himself to this doctrinein more
instances than one. In New York this is the
course, taken And wo hare no doubt it Will be, ac
companied by the happiest results—because New
York is largely engaged in commerce, and noth
ing cripples Commerce more that 4 high duties. At
a meeting of the democracy of New YOll/. •on the
18th of July, ' the Hon. Eli Moore addressed the
'meeting in a speech of great vigni and eloquence.
He took a deeided stand against the , whigtanffof
1842; and denounced all high tariffs as anti
democratic in their tendencieS." - The Washing
ton Globe which has for.many yeas past:been the
aednowledgedorgan of the National Deritocracv—
the 13.iehinolid Enquirer, Whose purityof-faith is
unquestioned any where—and in fact every paper
engaged in the.advoesey •of .Mr. Polk; that has
any character for talents, and integrity is O
PENLY.. AN D OECIDEDLY HOSTILE TO
Tl - 1 - F; ; TAIZIFF OF 1842, which is looked up
on by all eminent democratic statesmen as “high.
ly protective and oppressive in its character!"
This is, in fact; Governor Yolk's opinio l n—for the
language we, have quoted is his language—which
does not in any respect conflict with his late letter
to Mr. Kane. In an address to the people 'of
Tennessee in 1843, Gov.-Polk says All who
have observed my court& know that at all allies
been opposed to the protective policy." l • • ' •
• " I am in favor of a Tariff for revenue and op.
posed to a Tariff for Protection." " 1° • •
" I am oppeSed to the Tariff Act of 1842, not re 7
garding it to be a revenue Tariff but, in many of
its .prov isiona, highly protective and oppressive in
its - character." These are Gov. Polk's opinions
frequently :avowed and never recanted. The
Globe denounces the 'Pariff of 1842 as an oppres
sive Whig measure, which can never meet with
favor from the democracy, and which is inflict far
above wind. could properly be considered a'• reve
true tariff."
Thus, the position of the Statesman in regard
to this prominent measure, is fully sustained by
the Presidential candidate of the party—and by
every leading paper of the Party. To pretend to
support . Mr. Polk as the friend of the Tariff of.
1842, is' to Support him AS A WHIG AND TO
BRAND HIM MTH FALSEHOOD; to sup
port him under pretence that the party is favorable
to the Tariff of 1e42, is a piece of flagrant hum
buggery, ii:gross violation of truth;l and a wide
departure from honest and sound pOlicy. From
all such contemptibleirickery toe wash our hand".
Standing ase faithful sentinel upon the battlements,
of democraey, we shall advocate the Principles and
measures of the party as they are—as the great
majority. of the party has fixed theniand not as
a few men, or sections of the party, here and there
might desire them to be:. WE OPPOSE THE
TARIFF BILL OF 1842— JAMES K. POLK
OPPOSED IT—THE DEMOCRAT() PAR
TY OPPOSE IT—and all the.s4ort it receives.
is from the Whig pitty, and a few ignorant or
letuotsh iditors, who pretend .to 'be dethocrats,
but who lire sehrom found supporting the prin
ciples upon' which democracy Testa, and which
give it its distinctive features.' !,
INDIANA.--Chapinan, of crowing notoriety,
gives up Indiana es follows:
We giVe below nearly complete returns of the
election of Members to the legislature. The Sen
ate stands as last year, equally
, divided, and the
casting vote of the President in 'our. favor. In the
House of Representatives, the Whigs have gained,
so that they will have probably six majority—
three members more than half—the whole num•
ber being one hundred."
•
The N.! Y. Tribune gives the official vote . as

which shows a clear Whig gain of 2069 votes ;
overceming, the majority the Locofoco candidate
received for Governor last year, which was 2013.

is, ever has been, and ever will be, as an unerring
law of trade, that Lie duty laid on goods by iin
post or tariff, enters into and forms apart of the
price paid by the last purchaser or: consumcri--
and that, under the foregoing law of trade, the
present Tariff is operating and will continua I : to
operate until modified, most unjustly and unequal'.

Mr. Fin.te4 like a great !many other Southern

addressed a letter to ex-Ocivenior Rimer Inviting
him to hold forth to a mass meeting of locolocas

. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 19th inst. is be
fore me, jn which you say that the Democratic
Committee of your town, had received information
that the Hon. Thomas 11.. Harrows end' myself
intended tq visit the " the Queen of the West,
some time this nionth." You also say that you
are requested as Corresponding Steretary, to in
vite us to address a mass meeting on the 24th
inst., at your place, having understood that both
of us have-changed.our sentnnents since 1840. In
what follows I speak only for thyself; should you
deem it proper to address Mr. Burrows' he Will
speak for himself. I say then that you have been
most grossly deceived as it i'egards myself: The
'information you have received is altogether erro.-
,ne:ous. Ido not intend to visit the " Fair West"
this season—neither have changed my sentiments
since 184 p, in_ regard to the great - questions in
volved in; the great struggle between the friends
of Henry Clay„and James K. Polk, kr the Presi
dency.

in iny boyhood, during the administration Of Tho.
Mae Jefferson. I advocated and defended the
same principles, during the administthticin of Mad

were deemed ' , essential in a public office. I desire
now to see the principles and measures restored,
under which the country was prosperous,, before
the democratic party was " hustled,' and Id head

been old enough in the American Revolution, ),
anrla host of others who' might be named, all
with perhapa one exception, opposed to the late
war with Great Britain, anti who were then Fed
emlists of the true blue, light stamp. Indeed the
Democratic party, since it, has peen:corrupted by
' the old Federal leaders, is not more , like what it
was in" thedays of Thomas Jefferson; Mitdison and
Mon*, than Ezekial Polk, the growl father of
James K. Polk, was like General Francis 'Marion,
'in the Revolution. I had occasion sonic time
since to reply to a letter addressed 'to the, by the
chairman of the State central committee of this
State. •
In that reply I have fatly but briefly stated my
views in regard to the leading questions now agi
tating the public.' I herewith transmit you a
newspaper containing it; you will have the good
ness to read it, in connexion with this letter, at
your Mass meeting on the '24th inst., as it will I
hope effectually disabuse al largo number of the
true Democracy of the "Buckeye state;" and show
although on, a small scale how far .a profligate
Press will gp to deceive,' when under the direction
of the worst passions that can actuate, and influ
ence the hearts and minds of bad men. Perrifit

the passage of the present act. Now let us con
trast these two Tariffs, as follows: Read it Me
