If there was any body foolish enough not
to read in the Louisiana election conclusive
proof that the Texas humhug was dead

opponents hoped TO profit by it, we presume
>lhe result IN North Carolina will have settled
he>qneslon in every mind, and that pretty
concInsiycly. We have all along, since the
annexation qucslion was raised by the nom
nation Of Polk, anticipated some slight inju-
nv to our cause from its introduction INTO the
canvass in the Southern States, and there
was certainly as much reason to believe tina,
North Carolina would give tokens Of distress,
as any other Southern State. \Ilcr interest
in the question, according TO slavehoding
IDEAS of interest, was no, less deep than that
of her sisters around her, and it is but fair
to suppose that she would risn in vindca,ion
Of that interest if she thought it worth as
much to her as the success of the Wing poll
cy. Her vote therefore carries with it great
moral power, and cannot but exert a widely
beneficial influence. 1t proves that though
the gallant Wings Of tie South may think the
annexation Of Texas pccuniary, or even
political object of importance 10 them, yet
they are too noble, disin'crcsted and palri-
otto to obtain it by the elevation Of "A ii't
rate politician to the Presidency, and the
sacrifice of "A great and noble man. They
are determined that the North shall not
alone enjoy the honor of adhcring to its
principles and elecling the great Statesman
who embodics them; and for this de,crn,i,
nation we honor the bold, un1nchng incor-
rup,iblc Wings Of the South.

IVES TFORD MEETING.

We beg TO call the readers attention to
the call for mass meeting at Wrs,ford, on

is no spot in the county we would sooner

town is fairly represented by that portion OF
its population with whom we have the pleas
ure of personal acquaintance, we can as
sure our friends that they will be welcome
guests within its borders. Within our re-
collection, Wes,ford was regarded as one of
the hardest towns in the state, and almost
without the pale OF cultivation; but it is now

nexation will not be pressed If he is elected.
They read both sides, and either conclude TO
go for Polk because he is free trader and
annexaionist, or in spite of that fact, or else
they determine to support Mr.. Clay, to pre-
serve the tariff and prevent annexation, or
remain neutral. Upon this large and inllu-
entail class of their party, the Polkat wire
pullers are bending all their energies, prac-
Using all their Establishments. To convince
them, every species of plausible falsehood is
promulgated. with the most impudent gravity
imaginable. No pains are spared to make
them believe that Polk is orthodox on every
point which they deem essential.
If such men would do themselves Justice,
iflhey would ponder well the array Of written
and spoken proofs addnced by the Wings

they think the game will help them, ar" 'riv-

lie is promptly exposed, refn,ed and turned
against the perpetrators, by the WhiI pa
pers, they seldom reach the men who are
deceived by the Loco lies. The emissaries
of Locofocosm are every where secretly in
shilling the idea into their followers, that the
present Tariff will not be disturbed in the
event of Folks election, and that his annex
alton project is after all, merely to catch
votes at the South, but will never be pressed
when once he is elected. Such CANNON as
this satisfies great many, especially when
they suffer themselves to be SO prejudiced
as not TO read the proofs furnished by the
Wings, of the true principles and purposes
of the Polkat leaders. But there is great
mass of the Locofoco party, who cannot be
thus nose-lcd by the little petty schemers who
are sent to keep them in order. nor convin'
