Gus EXTENT II The Union is endangered

which will be of incaIcuahle advantage

admission of Texas into the Unior p
Would they be any more of slaves then,
than there are now They certainly
would derive as much advantage from The
laws Of the United States, as they will
from those of Texas. The people of the
south have 10 intention Of attempting t.
Disguise the fact that their slave popuia-
ton are hal in view, in connection with
annexation. No ono has a light to COM

as they iojnrc no one,
We had h ped to find none of the dem.
ocratic party in opposition to Inc anncHa-
ton of Texls. We feel certain that
greet majority OF them are in favor of it.
Some a5oIl'ilnis's, we believe, have iniru-
dcd themselves into the ranks; but our
wing brc hren have the bulk Of them, AMI
from them we expected opposition t. the

wlthstanding the opinion Of some, it is
certain that ,Teyas will have to return

is true there arc many Americans in Tex /

Omitting South Carolna--and | pre-
sumo no one will contend for Il moment,
that Mr.. Van Burcn's popularity, as an
individual, could be of much avail in that
State-we find by the plain rules of arith-
metic, that he ran behind his party il tho
Union, (l55,577,) one hundred and fifty
five thousand five hundred and seventy
seven votes; and further, that he received
a larger vote than his party in only two
States, and the sum of his gain was only
(4l3) four hundred and thirteen votes.
This loss would have been astonishing
under any circumstances; but when we
remember it was brought about by the
change in Affairs, wrought in a short time,
it is really astounding Many of the cleo
tions on which have founded my calcu-
lions were held but fer months, and
most of them within the trelre months
next before the disastrous defeat of No.
vember, 1910. When those elections,
nearest in point of time TO the Presiden-
tal election, were held, we all know that
the whole nation was in agitation, and that
the great National questionable Presi-
tency-had we'll nigh absorbed all others;
that the parties in each state we're model
led according 10 the principles therein in
volved, that "Mr. Van Buren's POPULAR
ty," or unpoPularity, had its full effect en-
all those who came before tho people as
disciples Of the same faith. Had the case
been Differentiated not Mr.. Van Burens
name been mixed up with every discussion,
and his personal qualities not been con-
sidered of such vast importance in those
elections, we are warranted in believing
that the result would have forever put at
rest all question as to his popularity or
availability.
Whether this be true or false, leave me
public to decide; and will content myself
for the present, with the simple Statements
and calculations | have presented to tn0
Republican party; with the earnest hops
the while, that they may be warning 70
those who would again place us under 'nS
guidance of the same Leader, who, wneh
occupying the "vantage -ground' OF pow
er, and welding the tremendous patronage
of our Government, mot only failed to mann
tain his osition and the ascendancy -
his party, but was found weaker even tnlh
his subordinates, in the same great cause

THE TEXAS QUESTION.

that those IN favor OF the annexation DO
not manifest the same anxiety about the

frivolous rs these reasons are, they are
perhaps about ms good as any which can
be produced against the measure. Our

and made the most OF it. He has done all
that anv other man could with the same
