ANOTHER CHANGEll--A GREAT
CHANGED


The Baltimore Patriot contains letter nd
dressed by Mr.. PoIk to Mr.. J. n. Kane. o.
! Philadelphia, dated Columbia, June 18th
1914, from which we take the following ex.
tracts. --------.-........ ... ....
ain my Judgment, it is the duty Of the gov
eminent TO extend, Us FAR as il may be praet-
cable to do so, by its revenue laws and all
other means within its power fair and just
PROTECTION to all the great interests of the
whole Union, embracing agriculture, man
ulacture, the mechanic arts, commerce, and
navigation"
This is intended for the good Tariff State
of Pennsylvania land we need not say, is
contradictory to the doctrines he urged in
this State in 1913.
Hold on while Wings, and you may find
him coming out yet for National Bank and
Distribution !-NdShUlHe Banner.
We would ask careful perusaI for the
following propositions. Coming from South
Carolina, they are the more interesting to the
South and show clearly, that all that is re-
1uired, is a little time and reflection for the
people to act wisely in reference to the Texas
question,
LIST. If Texas never has been, nor is now,
a part of the Republic of Mexico, by what IT,
tie did Stephen Austin and his companions ac-
quire their lands; and did not they at that
time labor under the error Of supposing that
it was?
I'd. Did not our Governmet repeatedly dis
claim in the most solemn manner any inten
ton of interfering with tie quarrel between
Mexico and Texas, and was not that action
predcated on Mexico's original right-and
have not several administrations attempted
to purchase it from Mexico.
Sd. Was it not made the ground of Mr..
Forsyth's refusal TO accede to Gen. Hunts
for Annexation in 1897 and did
not his views then concur with those of the
American people.
18th. Did not Mr.. McDuffie in his MESSAGE
n December, 1880, use the following Ian.
5uage IN reference to the interference IfI
we admit Texas into our Uuion while Mex.
co is still waging war against that province,
With the view to establish her supremancv
over it we shall by the very act Itself make
ourselves party Of the war. Nor can we
AXE the step without incuring the heavy res
until Mexico herself shall recognize
ne independence of her revolted province
Will it be maintained that these conditions
AVE been fulfilled! Will the immediate an
lexatlonlsts charge the veteran statesman Mr..
ncDuttle with ignorance of the subject
want OF consideration, or lack of Southern
ceiling?
9TH If Mexico has no title why has she
,een offered eight millions as a bride Is not
hat very offer an admission of title on the
'art OF our Government. Or is it a mere !:
'onus to keep her from urging an unjust de.
