EVIDENCE WANTED.

Will our neighbor Of the Democrat name a singl,
tWhir annexationist who has been chosen TO Of
fee in the recent Southern elections, and give
some authentic proof Of the charger We have yet
to learn that the Wing party any 'ohers are for TAX
ing Texas except on the terms specified in MrClay'r
Alabama letter. There may be Wings who look
upon this measure with eye of favor; and SO far
we erred in saying the entire Wing party opposed
il TO the death But we defy the Democrat man
10 point out solitary Southern Wing who goes for
immediate annexation for annexation as advo-
Gated by Polk and the locofocos-for annexation
,cih war, seih dshonor, soih the twenty million
debt land cith0ut the common consent Of toe Union.
We have proof positive Of the contrary inasmuch
as every Southern Wing Senator but Mr.. Hender-
son of Miss, who was under instructions, voted
point blank against the Tyler treaty and the N.
Y. Tribune says out of two hundred Wing ex-
change papers which il receives from the Slave
States, NOT SINGLE ONE advocates annexation
II is pretty story to tell, too, that 'Whig annex
ationists were elected with reference to that ques
ton, when il they were Wings, they must in sup
porting Henry Clay have OPPOSED ii, for he says
distinctly that he considers war; dishonor, the haz-
ard Of disunion, &c, too great sacrifice too make
for the acquisition Of Texas -Fie Fie neghbor
give the public something besides stuff so flimsy
that naught but the 'sembance of a Pokat odor
can be discovered in it,
The editor will also have the goodness TO inform
of single Wing press or leader throughout the
land he be high low rich poor, great or small,
who 'denounccs the present tariff So far from il
is the fact, that EVERY WING in both Houses of
Congress but three-two absent and one instructed
against it-voted last May 10 sustain the tariff of
ls42 'AsIrIs.' We should call every untrummelled
Southern and Western Wing member, rather
strong 'sembance of a minority We should
think the 'anti- proteciion Wing party very weak at
the west also, since among some thirty western
Wing newspapers which we have examined, there
is ONE which does not warmly advocate the
present tariff And we should be inclined to take
the word of Senator Berrien, who in his Albany
speech states from personal observation that the
whole Wing party at the South are united in sup
port Of the tariff of 1912 -beiore the random asser-
ton of scribber who has had EMISSIONS, false hoods
and misrepresentation innumeTable pinned TO his
back.
Neighbor OF the Democrat: you have deliberate
ly charged the two things named above against the
of Henry Clay. Now we call upon you
to substantiate, or retract like man. Here is a
capital opportunity to show that you would not
stoop to misrepresent opponen,s'-let you for
once verify your profession.

Resolved, That we call earnestly and anx-

vania, individually and collectively. to look Sc
riously at the attitude in which they are placed,
and view the elements of destruction which
now threaten to PROSTATE them as party, and

LETTER FROM Mr. VAN buren,.
LINDENwALD, Oct. 80, 1914.

My DEAR Sir {: learn with the keenest re-
greet from your letter, this moment received,
that there is, in your opinion, good reason to
apprehend that the feelings of portions of my
friends have been so deeply wounded by some
of the proceedings at Baltimore, as to induce
them to withhold their support from the cleo
toral ticket. Notwithstanding my great COM
fdence in your intelligence and discretion, |
yet hope that this apprehension is without
much, if any foundation. With the great bo-
dy of our friends we know it to be otherwise.
I have not myself found single case of this
description, but you are entirely right in think
ing that no danger is too slight to be dIsre-
garded al a moment so critical as the present.
/ would. on no account, say anything that
might wear even the appearance OF harshness
in respect to dispositions, which, however er-
roneous, have had their origin in feelings of
regard for myself, to which | am so deeply
indebted, and for which can never be too
grateful. Twill yet venture most respectfully
10 suggest for the serious consideration of those
of my friends, who entertained these views,
if any there be, whether. in adopting them
they do justice either to themselves, to the
friends to whom they have been so sincerely
DESTROYS to do honor. to the cause in which
they have been so long and earnestly enga'
ged, or to the interest of the country which
they have so sincerely at heart. Assuming
the worst opinions they have formed of the
proceedings they conoemn to be we'll founded,
they should yet remember that these proceed
ings were not devised to secure the nomina-
lions of Messrs. Polk and Dallas. 1t is, on
the contrary. well known fact that the nom
nation of Gov. Polk originated with gentle
men, who disapproved of those proceedings
as earnestly as those of my friends to whom
you refer can possibly do. This nomination
having such an Origin, as well as that of Mr..
Dallas. which was afterwards associated with
lit, received the unanimous assent of the con
vention; has been subsequently ratified in ev

RECONCILIATION.

The Brazil Ircde.-We do not appreciate
the nature and extent of our Brazil trade and
its future increase as we should do. In the
article of coffee alone, the Brazils produced
last year 17o,ooo,oOo lbs; Java, 14o, 900, 900;
Cuba, IS 100000; and the remainder of the
crops come from the West Indies, Mocha, &c.
&c. It appears, therefore, that the Brazils
take the lead in the cultivation of the coffee
plant, which at three cents per Id. yield a
handsome profit, and the Brazilian coffee,
which is favorite article, will in time, super
sede the use of several other qualities. We
ought to make efforts to secure and extend our
trade with Brazil. In time it will be excee-
dinghy valuable. England has been throwing
many obstacles uncalled for and unexpected
in the way of her trade; SO that the opening
is broadly before us for driving profitable
business with that country.-N. Y. Sun.
