Democrats and Texas,

The conduct of our professed democrats in refer
ence to the annexation of Texas is really astonish-
ing, and evinces a degree of s%ervility unequalled by
any party which the history of our country affords.
When the Tyler plot and treaty were first made
public, large numbers of them were ready to sign
petitions to Congress against its being annexed un-
der any circumstances But as soon after it was
made the successful test question, by the slave
holders, in the selection of a candidate for Presi-
dent, as the democrats in these parts were suffi-
ciently recovered from the shock which the I'M
expected nomination gave them, they were shout
ing most Justify for annexation, asserting that lex
as will make a market for the slaves of the north
ern slave states, by which they will become free
states and finally it should be annexed TO in
crease The power Of the free states, for Mr.. Clay
says it will make three free states, and only
two slave states. For several weeks the scheme
was lauded in their association meetings sc, as
just the thing. But the more sagacious had sense
enough to know that men could not be made to be-
Iieve that the opening of Il new market for this
kind of stock, by which the raising of it would be-
come profitable for a season, would induce those
states to get rid Of it. Hence their tune on this
subject has been greatly altered, and they now
acknowledge that it is rather a had business, but
copying after the wings, they are going to choose
the least of two evils. They are endeavoring to
belittle the subject as much as possible, and seem
to think that by this course of apparent d%ecency,
they shall be able to quiet their scattering ranks
But we hope before conscientious democrats con-
sent to be soaped in this way, they will examine
the history of this whole affair. For what did Tex
as revolt from the Mexican Governments? Simply
because the Mexican Government had abolished
slavery, and they wished to cnslave and brutalize
their fellow men. They fought not for liberty as
did our revolutionary fathers, hut for slavery. And
though they have not obtained their independence
from Mexico, and never can without foreign aid,
they have adopted a constitution which makes it
a high offence to even attempt the abolition of
slavery. They have already run themselves in
debt more than the whole concern is worth, and
now appeal to this union to take them to its en-
brace, with all their debts, their quarrels and their
disgrace. A more desperate set Of scape-gallows
scoundrels cannot he found on the ~tootstool Of Je-

hovah, than that valley Of rascals contains. And
yet the ruling power of the SO called democratic
party is seeking to hug that foul viper to the boz
bosom of this union that it may strengthen and fat
ten itself by sucking our life blood from US. Will
the honest democrats of Vermont be duped to as
sist in this dirty business for the sake of keeping
their broken winded party together? We shalt
see.

PAPERS FOR THE CAMPAIGN!

DEEPLY impressed with the conviction, that the strenu-
Gus efforts of the two leading parties to bring the freemen
of Vermont into the support of men and principles utterly
at variance with our Declaration of Independence, the
dearest rights of man, and the positive commands of God
should be met with corresponding efforts on the part of The
friends of freedom and humanity-the publisher of this pa
per proposes TO funish the FREEMAN for ttDeniy tOeeks
commencing The first week IN July, and ending the second
week in November, (being one number after the Presi-
dental electiOn) at the following low rates:
Five copies, sent to one address, W 90
Ten do do do 90
Twenty do do do 90
Smaller or larger numbers at the same rate.
ltJS No papers will be sent on these terms unless the
money is forwarded in advance; and in no case shall we
incur expense in transportation.
Now, friends, what say %you-shaIl Vermont send up
her voice to strengthen the foundations of that giant lni-
guilty, which drinks its daily cup of human blood, and
sends poverty and moral death throughout the whole land!
Or will you, by a little effort in your towns and school
districts, procure a bundle of these papers, and also a
supply of tracts, and thus scatter the living Goals Of truth
upon the heart Of every voter, until, on the approaching

From The Natchez Cou,lr.
BLACK TONGuE.

We have learned within a few days that
this malignant disease has caused several
deaths in the counties of Holmes, Yazoo, and
Madjsops and that there had been a few cases
in Kinds. II 10 stated that it made its appear
ance in Holmes county in December last, and
that since that time there have beentseperal
cases. It is not supposed to be rapidly on the
increase, though it generally proves fatal. Old
and inirm persons are more liable to be at
tackled with IT than stout middle aged, or Young
persons. No cases have occurred. as we are
informed BY a gentleman of the medical pro-
~fession, and who resides in one Of the interior
counties. of children under ten years Of age
being attacked with it.
The following remarks in relation to the sim
guIar disease, we copy from the Jackson Re-.

all medicines fesorted to, are eFGetics and cal
omel, both Of which very often aggravate the
SYMPTOMS and increase the violence of the at
tack. Where these have failed, the use ofia-
lap has resulted insaying the patients. 1t has
been recommended az a sovereign remedy.
The diagnosis Of the disease Is violent soar

neck behind the ear, but there alwaysars slight
variations, according to temperament and phy-
steal ability. The jalap is given to adults al

Whether from the stoppi1g up the various
