The remonstrants say that, while they are
ready to carry out what are called the guarantees
of the constitution, still, as Christians, and citi-

tend such guarantees to foreign country-and
the constitution of Texas uphods slavery per-
petually.

annexation of Texas to the United States.

CHARACTERS OF THE LEADERS OF
THE WING PARTY.

Mr.. MAN:-lf the wing party have suffered
or been injured--if the success of their cause has
been endangered, Gas no doubt it hasl it is proba
bly, owing more to the irrepresslble desire of min
Cling the distinctive qualities Of falsehood and
truth, and of making unnecessary and false issues
before the people, than any other reason whatev-
err Even the best of causes would fail by the use
of such insrumentalities & useful lesson, might,
ere this, have been learned from the self styled
democracy, who have long been obnoxious to the
same objections. How can you expect to succeed
by claiming to be the only true Liberty party
or, by raising the false issue, that you are oppos-
ed to the annexation of Texas for reasons of per-
petua force.
Another reprehcnsible course pursued by your
self and party is, that in your vocabulary truth and
SANDER, are synonymous terms, | have always
understood that in an action of SANDER, the truth
given in evidence was a full justifcation-but |
am sorry to find the wing party reversing this most
reasonable, we'll settled rule, and holding exactly
its convcFse-yiz: that the truth far from being
a justification is only an aggregation of the offence.
Suppose the candidate Of political party be gull
ty of gross immoraltes and crimes which ought,
in the minds of upright freemen, to disquafy him
from holding any office whatever.-Is it suffi-
cient answer to the proof of these charges, to de-
clare them all mere ISLANDERS, and that the candid
ate is the greatest statesman and the purest patri
OF he'word ever saw? The mere denial of a
thing proved-the calling it UNANIMOUSLY ialse'--a
RECKLESS falsehood,' or shameful iie' serves on
y to convince the people of its truth, and of the
weakness ofthat course or party which resorts to
epithets instead of facts. With these general re-
marks would inqure:-
What is The character Of leaders Of the Wing
party?
1t would be invidiouS not to commence with
Henry Clay, who is not only the leader but the
leader of leaders, and the embodiment or i'm
personaton' of Wing character and sentiment
/. Henry Clay lives on the unrequed toll o
sixty slaves, whom he refuses to emancpate HI
is in favor of perpetuating the institution Of slave
ry, and declares that Congress has nothing to Dc
with the subject.
Fl 2. Mr. Clay has written four Texas letters, an,
yet his own supporters differ widely as TO his sen
timents--one part claiming that he is for, the 9th
er that he is against annexation.

For the Freeman
Mr.. EDITOR,
WATCHTOWER.

Mr.. EDITOR,
The time is approaching, when the Presidential
question must be settled; and there has been so
much electioneering, that we may reasonably sup
pose, that most men have made up their minds,
and will act accordingly, right or wrong. But the
excitement that has been kept up by political
quacks appears to be subsidng, and the storm is
blowing away, so that men may look around them,
and some may, upon second THOUGHT, think it pru-
dent to consult their Bibles, to listen to the voice
of conscience, and resolve to obey cd rather than
man. If sinners cntice thee says the wise man,
consent thou not. 1t is bettor to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in man. righteousness
exalteth naton but sin IS a reproach to any peo-
ple." "When the wicked rule, the people mourn. :"
Such is the language of scripture, of reason, and
Of history. And can any reasonable man believe,
that God will alter the arrangements of his Provi-
dence, and smile upon our nation, if we disregard
his word, and choose out wicked men to rule over
us? Will not the wicked do wickedly in high as
well as in low stations' Will not the man, who
Expresses the poor, and robs him ofhs wages, OPP
press the nation, and rob the public, when he can
do it with impunity? "lIe that is unfaithfu in
little, will he unfathful in much" Hence the inn
portanco of choosing out faithful men, who feal
God, and work righteousness, to rule over U.S.
And hence the danger Of electing ungodly men t.
be our rulers. Why should it be said Of us, els
rael hath cast off the thing that is good, the enc
my shall pursue him. They have set up kings
but not by me: they have made princes, and
knew it not; Of their silver and their gold have
they made them idols, that they may be cut off,
mine anger is kinIlaI IA gainst them; how long err
they attain to unocency?' To such cutting remark
