JOHN h. SHARP, President
The Qualification Of the NuHifers orer The
principles of South Carolina. We have be-
fore US the Edgefield, S. c. Advertiser. where
in we find the following account of Texas
meeting at Edgefed, at which the Hon. F.W.
Plckens made a speech, and at which sundry
resolutions were passed, among them are the
following.
Is tfaDGrr6 ali lie objections we have hereto
fore made To the constitutiOnnlity and eXpedi-
ency of the measures of the Federal Govern
meni, for the protection of domestic manuiac-
lures, with the aggravation that il was gross
breach OF the faith plighted TO us in the COM
promise OF 1912; and that we regard the time
and tf 1 This act
matters TO be settled upon our own views of
expediency, an no iUise 10 be hindered by our
lCP supposed 90 allegiance 10 The Federal
Government
The Edgefeld Advertiser thus concludes its
report.
Col. l.. T. Wigfal then offered the follow
ing resolution, which were iorcibly supported
by himself and Mr. Vancey. Both of these
| gentlemen awaited themselves of the occasion
TO contrast the principles of Mr. Clay aud Mr.
| Polk, as to the prominent measures of the gov
eminent, and particularly in reference 10 the
Abolition OF Slavery, and the Annexation of
Texas.
The recent letter of Mr. Clay upon the sub
jet Of annexation speaks for itself, and any
one who will take the pains to inquire into his
political life, will find that he is totally unsnund
upon the subject of Abolition. The very first
effort Of his public life, in the Legislature of
Kentucky, ,cds made IN taror Of The enamel
patton Of SLAVES.
His list effort in the Senate of the United
States, was IN favor of Internal Improvement
and his first great speech, made on his second
election to that body, as early as 1909, was in
favor of a Protective Tariff, which won him
the title Of Father of The American System
His subsequent career has proved his cunslSt-
ency upon all these points, on which, aud ma
ny others of vital import, the Democracy OF
the whole country, are at issue with him.
Shall such man, protesting such principles,
be made President Of these United p
Let the Democracy of the whole country, from
} Maine to Louisiana, in one universal acclama-
ton respond, never! never!
Whreas the meeting has just learned that
James X. Polk Of Tennessee, and George NJ.
Dallas of Pennsylvania, have been nominated
by the Democratic Convention, lately assem-
bled at Baltimore, as candidates for President
and Vice President
= Resolved, That in James X. Polk, we recog-
nze an able, bold advocate of immediate an
, nexaton of Texas, and firm and conssten,
opponent of a Protective Tariff, Bank, Disiri-
: button, Assumption of State Debts, and A boz
lition, and that, therefore, we cordially approve
Iof bis nomination, and pledge ourselves to his
support.
u Resolved, That we also approve the nomin
Z alton of George Nj. Dallas, disting uishe,
; citizen of Philadelphia, as a candidate for Vice
D President, and will also support him.
