This shows Wing gain of 4l6 votes. The
Tribune thinks the full votes of one of these coun-
ties will reduce the Wing gain to about 200 votes.
Any way, the complexion is favorable.
P. S. Eighteen counties heard from, giving
Graham, (Whig,) 4231; Hoke Qoco) 1888; loco
gain 444. The New York Tribune says, "This is
not enough to do them any good"
The Baltimore Clipper of Aug. G, says:
A passenger by last evenings southern cars re-
ports that full returns from seven counties show a
gain for Hoke on the Governors election in lS42,
of about 300 votes and that the Wings have gain
ed senators and have net gain of members
of the House Of Commons, having gained and
lost B.
The Baltimore Sun, of Aug. 5, says:
The passengers from Richmond last evening
brought various contradictory rumors, one of which
represented the Wings as having swept every
thing before them, and the other that Hoke had
gained 300 votes as far heard from, compared
with the last August election for Congress men,
A day or two will furnish something definite as tc
the probable result
The National hteligencer claims the State al
Wing, but gives no returns and admits that it has
but few. The best sign is that our returns from the
heart of the State are best.

ANNEXATION is WAR.

In the last despatch from the government, the
determination of Mexico is reaflirmed in the fol.
lowing explicit language:
"Tho government of Mexico will consider the annexation
Texas to territory of the United States declaration
war with tho Mexican Republic"
Annexation, then, is War-a War without the
shadow of provocation-a War for Slavery-a
War which the civilized world would look upon
with adherence. All but will not England take
Texas if we do not? If she attempts it she incur
the guilt OF an unjustifable War; and We SHOULD
have right to resist her. We could say to he
that zoe will not have Texas-you shall not have
her--hands off This is Mr.. Cay's greund-th,
pretence that he would permit England to contro
Texas, or in any way comprolnt our own jus
rights, is false. We quote from his letter:
"I any European nation any ambitious designs
Texas such that of colonzng her. any dy subject
ing her, should regard as the Imperative duty Of The GoUeH
Of the United States oppose such designs BY The most 6rI
and dstermaed yesans 10 the extent, necessary Of APPEAL

"A DEMOCRATIC VETO"

The Albany Argus has vetoed the attempt, made
by the New York confidential letter writers, to
blink the Texas question. 1t declares truly that
it would be inconsistent to support Polk and at the
same time undertake to elect Members Of Congress
opposed to annexation. Here is its language:
ssWh what consistency the Democrats of this State,
of any State urge the support of any candidates for the highest
Executive offices, whose opinions are known to be IN accordance
positions ASSUMED by the National Democratic ConVen'
ton yet urge that nominations for the National Legislature
be entitled their support, must mot he in accordance w
those positions No party stand such ground and
che North, they desire to stand upon such ground"
And again, in oracuar terms the Argus predicts
that the locofoco party in New York will not per
init themselves for moment to take ground agains
annexation
"The Democracy of this State will not suffer themselves
he divided on this question. They will oountenanee move
men tho effect of which be to throw into the canvass IN
element Of Annexation, in form that may divide their strength
THEY WILL NOT WE Will VENTURE TO PREDICT
SUFFER THEMSELVES, FOR SINGLE MOMENT, Tt
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION nor will they
we assure Democratic friends in other States, be draw
away from the earnost united and successful support OF III
Democratic Candidates"
Sc the democracy" must go for-perpei,tal Sla
pe,u! Let no democrat" undertake to escheN
Texas and at the same time support Polk--it is Z"
palpable contradiction of position" says the Argu
We do not see, therefore, but that the anh-TexO
locofocos are read out of the party. So be it: W
may as well have New York for Clay by 1000
majority as less.

NATURALIZED VOTERS.

We learn that Locofoco cmissaries are at work
upon the Irish, and other naturalized voters, and
persons about to be naturazed, attempting to make
them believe that the Wings originated the Native
American party in New York and elsewhere-that
the Wings occasioned the late horrible outrages in
Philadelph ia-and that the Wings would deprive
this class of citizens of their rights. These asser-
tions-each and all of them-are falsehoods The
Native American party was caused by similar, and
successful attempts, to make the naturalized citi
zens the tools and victims of unpIincipled politi-
clans. These politicians -demagogues they were,
be they Wings or Locos-attempted to carry their
own purposes by enlsting foreign born citizens in
their support and this it was which aroused the
jealousy of native Americans in both political par
ties and thus led to the organization Of the so call
ed Native American party The very course now
pursued by some Locofoco demagogues in Vermont
produced the Native American party and we warn
our fellow-ctizens who are citizens by adoption
that to hearken to these demagogues is the sures
way of bringing themselves into trouble--of arous
ing the jealousy and hostility of native born Amer
leans, and of breeding discomfort and unhappy
contests where all ought to be harmony and goo(
will 1t is only when foreigners abuse their priv
leges and encroach upon the rights and interests o
others, that they need to fear for themselves. s.
long as they are good citizens, faithful to thei
adopted country, and regardful Of the rights of al
it will be both the duty and the interest of the gov
eminent to protect them in the enjoyment of thei
own civil and religious rights, and to extend to ther
G the same paternal care which is due to the sons

Mr. BIRNEY. The last Freeman contained a let
ter from Mr. Birney in reference to his course as
STAKEHOLDER. In the portion touching the sale of
his slave Charles after Mr.. Birney had become con-
WINGED Of the snlulness of slavery, he substantially
admits the correctness of the account published in
our last, adding this: He purchased Charles at
his own request with the agreement that he might
sell him again, ifhe turned out to be bad bargain.
He proved bad and was sold, as alledged. Mr..
Brney admits that this sale was wrong, and says
that he inquired after Charles with the intention of
buying him back and giving him his freedoms but
he too late--Charles was then a slave in Ala
bama. The act, then, is admitted-ts wrongful
is confessed for Mr.. b. does not pretend that
he was bound to sell him, or justified in selling him,
by his contract. One step more should have been
taken: Mr.. Birney should have followed Charles
to Alabama, purchased him and set him free
Charles is there, and slave, by MIR. Birney's con-
fessed wrong every moment he remains in slave
nv is the result of this wrong act. Mr.. Brncy is
responsible for it, and ever will be responsible for
it, until he does what he can to rescue Charles
from slavery. Are not ease of conscience, and the
liberty of man, worth journey to Alabama and
the sacrifice of little of Mr.. BIS lucre? Zeal for
the cause or some other inducement once led him
to go to England-and can it be that neither zeal
nor conscience, nor the liberty of a soul, now in
bondage by his own confessedly wrong act, will
induce him to go to Alabama in search of Charles
We think Mr.. Birney comes short of his duty
The mere confession of wrong in this case, and
sorrow for it, not enough il is a case where
true repentance can be shown only by reasonable
efforts to make reparation. 1t is infinitely worse
than Mr.. Clay's would be, even had he accep
ted Mr.. Kings challenge-for subsequently, they
mutually confessed their errors, and have ever since
been, and now are, not only peaceable men, bu
warm personal friends They have made the mos
ample reparation to each other, and to the world
Verify this is bad spot for Mr.. Birney and h'
his friends and they must thank their injustice tt

TWENTY-ONE SCREWS LOOSE IN OLD
NORTHUMBERLAND!
The subscribers citizens of Northumberland
borough and Point township heretofore acting cith
the LOCOFOCO PARTY, and as many of us as
were old enough supporters OF Martin Van Buren,
in 1870 do hereby PUBLICLY RENOUNCE
OUR ADHERENCE TO THAT PARTY, and
what we consider its destructive policy. We do
this. not through caprice, or the idle whim OF
moment but from a settled conviction, that upon
the election of CLAY and YSEN,
and the PERMANENT establishment of their
great leading measure-the PROTECTIVE IA
RIFF, Depend the welfare and prosperity of the
entire Union, and most especially of Pennsylvania.
And being convinced by evidence the most incon-
testble. that james K Polk and the great mass Of
his party are fercely and bitterly opposed to the
Tariff of AZ, we hereby most fearlessly avow our
determination, calmly and deliberately formed to
oppose with all our might the aforesaid James X.
Polk and his party and to support with the zeal of
honest intentions, THE INDUSTRIOUS ADVO-
CATE OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY-HENRY
CLAY.
And further believing, that change in the ad.
mnstration of the State Government is essential
to the we'll being of this Commonwealth and in
cited by spirit of gratitude towards one, who in
the hour of need and DANGER risked his life and
pledged his fortune for his country, we are also re-
solved to give our support to THE HONEST FARMER
AND BRAVE OLD soLDIER-GEN. MARkLE
And to save the leaders of the party we have
abandoned, any further trouble on our account, we
would admonish Them that all their efforts to ''chE
ms back into The traces, must prove utterly vain and
fruitless. Our Fathers fought for our country IN
