THE TARIFF SETTLED.

Our readers will perceive that the tariff
bill, reported by the Committee Of the
Whole, after to-tnight's discussion, was
to-day laid on the table. The analysis of
the votes we present, will show by whom
this was done. The bill as reported by
the Committee to the House, was substan.
TALLY the bill taken up with one impor.
tant amendment-the prospective tall Of
tho duties to twenty-five per cent. being
stricken out. So that the lowest reduc.
ton Of duty contemplated on articles ov er
thirty per cent. was only to that point
Thus has Democratic House Of Rep
resentatives, with majority Of nearly
two.thirds, refused 10 modify the act of
1912, so as TO equalize the duties TO thirty
per cent. with large exceptions as TO iron
and sugar. This result is by no means
unexpected TO us. Our readers are aware,
that at the opening OF Congress, we express
ed the opinion, contrary 10 the reiterated
statements of the Globe, that the votes la
ken on Mr.. Rhett's resolutions & the other
resolutions offered at that time, we're true
opponents Of the opinions Of the party in
Congress. 1t is now clear that we were
right, and that the party, on this point. was
unsound. Wings and Democrats have
joined hands, to support the system Of
plumber established by the protective pol
icy. We do not think that in the North
there is any hope for The South from eth
er party. If the South intends to redress
herself, and shield her people from the un-
constitutional exactions of the existing ia
rf--far more oppressive and illegal than
those which drove their fathers into rebel
lion against Great Britain-she must look
10 herself, and herself only. President.
making has again failed her, as in 1929.
Party organization and associations have
proved vain. Protection is in her own
strength and energy:

They have king who buy 8 and SELLS
In native swords and native ranks,
The only hope Of courage dwells.'

support OF the democracy of Mississippi
and under this conviction we shall act as
delegates, and endeavor faithfully to carry
out the will Of cur constituents.
We will represent the democracy OF
the State in the convention. To them
only are We responsible. Nor shall we
be deferred from the discharge of our
duty by open or secret assaults by threats
and dictation however bold and arrogant ;
or by an unwarrantable and presumptuous
interference by others out of the State
between US and our constituents. The
great emergency requires US further to
state, that we shall continue to rest the
question Of the remuneration of Texas
upon grounds which are truly national,
and we desire to select the democratic
candidate Tor the Presidency from thai
section of the Union which will be asked,
in spirit of patriotism, to unite with the
South in promoting the success Of this
great measure. The Remuneration Of
Texas is not Il sectional question. To the
South it gives peace and security; to the
North and West new and ever-augmenting
home markets whilst it appeals TO the
patriotism and philanthropy of the people
of the whole Union; and this great ma.
tional and truly American measure, and
those only who sustain it, shall receive our
cordial and undivided support.

"the reader will open his eyes, when we
assure him that Mr.. Bentop's reasons for

tho treaty by which Texas was given up
to Spain was a fraudulent and wicked
contrivance-2d, that he (Berton) was

outset, and ever sihce-3d, that Texas is
a natural and necessary part of the u.

Mr.. CLAY AND ANNEXATION.

In 1910, when Mr.. Clay made his splen-
did speech on "the line of the Perddo,"
he boldly assumed, that if this country
neglected the suspicious moment" il
they sGejected the proffered boon,' some
other nation, profiting by lis errors, would
seize an occasion to get footing on our
Southern frontier.
What foundation had he for such an ap-
prehension? lie simply states that he
had heard that the agents of "foregn
power" were intriguing with the people
in West Florida, and upon that basis, he
declares that we ought TO take possession
OF the country whether we had title or
not.
The friends of the annexation of Texas
do no, need to 20 so far as Mr.. Clay has
done, although it is not improbable that
through his opposition slate of affairs
may arise, which may compel them to act
upon the doctrine he then held forth.
We will now show that Mr.. Clay on
other occasions, favored the acquisition of
territory, regardless of the constitutional
objection which he now unfairly attempts
TO rescuscitate.
lie favored the acquisition Of Texas,
and sustained the appropriations necessary
to carry out the purchase. He denounced
the alienation Of Texas, although it had
been acquired by purchase, and appeared
10 think it unconstitutional.
Had he any respect, then, for the mere
dictum of MIR. Jefferson?
But 10 conclude the matter, Mr.. Clay
whilst acting as Secretary of State under
Mr.. Adams, in 1925 and 1927, directed
Mr.. Poinsett, our Minister to Mexico, to
open a negotiation for the purchase of
Texas, well knowing that at that time
Mexico was not recognized as independent
by Spain, and war was actually pending
between the two countries.
In 1925, Mr.. Clay did not fear that
England would charge us with being an
overgrown republic, and that we wished
to extend slavery, although we had then
only about eleven millions of inhabitants,
he did not think we had territory enough.
He did not fear that Spain would declare
war against US, and that our national hon.
or would be furnished. He did not talk
about the Confederacy, "as it now exists"
He did not object TO the introduction of
''alien members" He did not think of
single objection which now he urges as
his reasons against the annexation OF
Texas.
II Mr.. Clay had have succeeded in ma
king the important acquisition of Texas.
10 1895 and 1927, he would have deserved
the eternal gratitude of his country, and
his name and his deed would have been
handed down to posteriIy, with that Of
Jefferson and Louisiana.
He now opposes that measure, abandons
the principles he once maintained, and it
is greatly to be feared that the stand he
has taken will forever defeat the annexa-
ton Of Texas to the United States, unless
it is by war and bloodshed.
If the present treaty fails, and Mr.. Clay
is elected President, he will never renew
the proposition TO Texas-for he condemns
Mr.. Tyler for having made the first ad-
vance; and we are assured that Texas
will never, never, never,-appIy to Mr..
Clay, or Mr.. Clay's administration, 10 carry
through measure which he has once de-
feated.
