GA good Poikite of our town. soon after the
good gathering of the Wings of Old Wayne. on
the lst inst, declared that Lewis D. Campbell
did NOT read an article FROM the Ohio Statesman,
published on the day that Polk was nominated, in
relation to the Annexation of Texas but that it
was all ''Whig lie.'' We find the following in
ono of our exchanges, and it is word for word just
as Campbell read it. 1t is credited to Meiary' $
paper and was published, we understand in tho
"Dally Statesman" but was not permitted to 90
IN the weekly paper. Medary supposed that Mr..
Van Buren, had received the nomination and. of
course, he was AGAINST tho Annexation but as
soon as he found that Polk the nominee. he
was FOR tho Annexation. The editor of the
Statesman is just like of tho good Polkites
OF Richmond, IN this instance, he goes for eter-
nal and never-changing "PRINCIPLES,' real.
simon-pure Progressive Democracy!'
From tho Ohio Statesman.
When the proposed annexation was first
preached, it was accompanied by outcry a
gonst the British for attempting 10 get possession
OF the country. Tho cry England would
get hold of it and abolish slavery" Tho British
would get hold of Toxas and raise cotton to the
great INJURY OF tho southern planters. They
would make q FREQ country there. and ell our
slaves would run Otto them. This tale was
for the peoplc-to excite their jealousy, and drive
them into annexation with a rush.
''When tho treaty was sent in for confirmation,
it was not urged before the Senate upon these
grounds. as they were proven to be totally false
and unfoun ded.-They were raised alone for the
purpose Of decoving tho people as to the real OBJ
ject, and not a title of evidence was adduced to
show that England was dosrous Of getting possess
sion OF Texas, or was in the least degree overt
ing herself to accomplish that object.
In thaN
disownments OF any such wish on the part of
Great Britain !; and 80 clear and conclusive was
this, that Mr.. Calhoun. the Secretary of State,
who made tho treaty. did not daro to place it be-
fore the Senate upon these grounds.
"Ihe real object in annexation was the porpet-
uation and extension Of slavery. and of the poli,-
cal power of the Slave States! This was the
ground upon which the treaty was placed before
the Senate. The authors Of the treaty desired to
see slavery perpetuated in the South.-They de.

WEST RANDOLPH, April q, 1874.
Nh Edtor,-It will be recollected by some of
your readers, that letter from myself to Governor
Paine was not long since published in the Watch
man, wherein an allusion was made to the Rev. MIR.
Dow as also to another individual designated as
his informant.
Being contained in what was originally designed
as private letter, those illusions were careless
ly couched in terms chosen without reference to the
fact, that ambiguity of expression is the preroga-
tive Of those upon whom fortune never frowns. -
And therefore deem it privilege due to myself
and which doubt not you will most cheerfuly nc !!
cord to me, to say through your columns, that the
gentleman named in that letter is one OF the last
men whom would desgnedly represent as deyia-
ting from the strict line of his clerical duties. Ev
cry unknd alluson in that letter was directed to
another quarter.
| wish to say farther, that the few words he ex-
changed with me upon the subject of foreign wools
were directed to me rather inquiry into a sub
ject about which he protested to be entirely igno-
rant than otherwise l.. D. HERRlCK.

SHUTTING OUT THE LIGHT!

The following brief paragraph affords text for
vast deal of richly deserved Indignation. What
this Locofoco Congress, which paper not thous-
and miles from Washington County would fain have
its readers believe is in favor of protecting wool
growers, -prnts hosts Of documents against pro
lection, and refuses 10 let the people haze the OTHER
side Of the question: And on the Sub Treasury,
too, they in the same way outrage every principle
Of honor and fairness, outrage the rights of the
people themselves. Vermont people want the light
the arguments the facts: and they do not wish
to be swinded out of their votes by being permit
ted to have only one side of questions which must
deeply affect their interests. The Locooco tyrants
who thus attempt to shut out light from the peo-
pie, deserve to rank next to the Locofoco burglars
in Connecticut, who recently destroyed Wing
printing office.
Locofoco Retrenchment. The Locofoco majority
in the House Of Representatives have within n week
ordered 10000 of Van Burens British Tariff, and
$4,000 of the condemned Sub Treasury Reports.
At the same time propositions to print equal num-
bers Of the minority reports have been summary
thrown out.-.4lbday advertiser.
P. S. After a struggle, being resisted by sever.
al locos, the Wings have succeeded in getting hall
as many copies of their report the Tariff as were
ordered for the locofoco report.

THE TRICKRY OF VAN BURENIsM.

The IKlChh1 Ot VAN BUKENlSM.
MIR. Van Buren, bears the name of the for, and
perhaps for his cunning in all the arts of demagog
cry including the trick of doubling his track Of
ten necessary, deserves the name. At any rate
he or his party, is determined to try the virtue of
tricks upon the people in this campaign. He has
long been playing to secure the votes both of Free
Traders and Protectionists, and it seems from the
annexed revelation by the Madisonian that he is
bidding for both shareholders and aboltonists. 1t
well be no wonder if some few of the people deem
it best not to be cheated in this bold STYLE
From the Madisonan, March 90.
Just before elections were to be held in several
of the Northern States in all of which the Adolf
tionsts held the balance of power between the con-
tending parties, the ma orlty in the House of Rep
resentatves of the United States, by solemn vote,
rescindcd the rule which had hitherto prohibited
the reception Of petitions asking for the violation
of the Constitution, and the dissolution of the u
Mon. The proceedings on the subject were imme
dltely printed in extra numbers of the newspapers,
and sent by thousands and tens OF thousands, to the
Abolition leaders, for gratuitous distribution among
the fanatics who did not regularly read the papers.
1t is true, that by "a vote on the day following, the
action the subject rendered imperative for
the time being JRui vote has not, However, been

These proceedings, too, as we learn, were printed
