WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
Scott County, KY.
Gentlemen: have received yours, without date, Of
December lS43, making inquiry if | am in favor Of
the annexation Of Texas TO Conledefacy | am in
favor of the annexation, equal ground with The ORR
glnal States, when it shall be IN accordance with the
sentiments and wishes OF ory of the people of the
u aud the people of that Territory consenting The
constitutional question was settled when Louisiana was
purchased and in addition to this Texas was part Of
that purchase.
The States Of louisiana part Of Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Missouri and the territory of Iowa, prove de-
monstraon the value Of that acquisition Texas is as
much part of the Mississippi valley these States
and IN respect less important to The happiness and
stability of the Union The question of slavery would
belong exclusively to the people Of the States when
admitted into The Conederacy, by constitutional
guaranty, with which have more right 10 interfere
than with their religion. The practical illustration
of my views on this last point will be found in my
two Sunday mail reports, chairman of two committees
of Congress- one of the Senate and the other of the
House.
AS confirmation Of the sincerity of my opinion as
to Texas the first public act Of my life was the raising
of company of volunteers TO descend our western
waters to New Orleans, upwards of forty years ago.
vindcate our right to navigate these waters, when
closed against US by a Spanish nendant, and which
fortunately resulted in the purchase Of Louisiana To
maintain the federal constitutions and the sovereignty
Of the States particularly their domestic nstiu.
tons, offered up my life freely the battle field,
thirty years ago, against our common enemy-and !
am wiling when the necessity shall exist, pour
the remainder Of my blood to vindicate and main
tain them.
This feeling is not confined to locality, but t. tn,
whole Uuion-as | consider n benefit to one portion

ALL Our country is an identity, and canno, be divided
without ruin. 1t is with pleasure and with the great

POTATOES.

Our readers will notice extracts showing
that in many sections of the country the Po-
tattoo crops have been much injured, and in
many instances rendered valueless by dis
ease new to Farmers, and which often attacks.
the Potatoes before they are dug. In many
they have soon afterwards began TO rot, and
gradually became an offensive and putrid
mass In this decayed condition they are
said TO be poisonous and have caused the
death ofhogs which have been fed on them.
Something of the kind occurred last year
called the dry rot in Otsego and Schoarie
Counties n. Y, attacking the Vegetable in
the hill, and also in the heep, and fatal to the
whole, which rotted and emitted disgusting
stencil This is said to have been the case
also in portions of Connecticut, Pensylvan-
ia and New Jersey. The Caladonian printed
in St. Johnsbury VI. says that in some parts
ofthat town and Danyille and other quarters
the Potatoes are suffering in the same way.
and fields that were whole ten days since are
now rotting. The Burlington Free Press
speaks of similar appearances, in the Potatoes
in Chiuenden County. We learn of'he same
disease among the Potatoe crops in Add
son County, but whether to any great extent
we are unable to determine. Either owing
to the excessively dry and hot weather dn-
ring this month ripening Potatoes, or TO
the cause referred to, the vines are whitening,
although generally they hold green I'm I'll

ed that the evil complained of is found to e1-
st to a considerable extent in Granville, Rip

PROGRESS OF REFORM.

PROGRESS OF REFORM,
WISER THAN HIS GRANDFATHER.
On Sunday evening last we had the curl
osity to look into the Masonic Hall in this
town TO see OrsOn S. Murray. and TO exam
inc the apparatus with which he had blownup
the Christian Religion. The meeting pur-
ported to be one of free inquiry. This Muir
raw, our readers will understand. is person
who started in life vigorous Baptist, edited
Baptist Journal at Brandon, and was gen.
orally esteemed a religious man, as the world
goes, among that highly respectable body of
Christians. But Murray was clear ahead of
his age-he went head and shoulders, into
the abolition tide. the scales fell from his eyes,
Slavery became the all-engrossing theme, ev-
cry Abolition Society had his aid, on the
stump aud in his Journal, other people stood
back, Murray reached the summit, his mind
expanded as the heat increased, the Bible
seemed TO contradict his favorite notions and
the Bible was accordingly knocked from its
pedestal and the great Orson s. redeemed
regeneraled and disinthralled from the iron
bands OF sectarian discipline stood forth first
an lnhdel and then an Atheist. Recognizing
no government but his own WILL no God but
his own self, no propriety but his own incina-
ton, his person as he appeared on that
night in coarse frock, hair reaching 10 his
middle and a beard which the great Mogul
himself might have envied, well represented
the principles which he advocated, and the
utter abandon, TO which be had arrived. He
commenced TO a crowd of curious men and
boys. by assuring them, that he did not re-
gard them with contempt and knew hOw TO
make allowances for their prejudices. He
congratulated himself in having broken the
shackles with which his mother had bound
his infant mind. He denounced the Christian
Religion as the ''Juggernaut ofignorance and
NONSENSE" and recapItulated his objections,
(any one of hich an ordinary Sunday School
scholar might have refuted,) against the doc
trines of our religion. He said that Moses
having the same organization as ourselves,
was no more capable Of inspiration than our
selves, and went on in such TRADE Of bias
phemy and abuse that we were compelled TO
leave the house.
This then is the tendency-proper and in
evitable, of suffering single idea TO engross
the attention ana absorb the energies of the
mind. Everything however important must
Weld to the idea, and il the results of this ten
dency are at l. to W. the landmarks ard COR
found the distinctions Of morality and religion,
what may we expect from theis workings in the
fields of political strife The man with a sin
gle idea in his head is more to be dreaded
than man with pistol in his rocket and
murder in his heart.

10000 Wings in Council.
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA IN
MOTION.

The Pittsburgh Convention on the 18th
mt. was a rouser. At least FORTY
THOUSAND of the freemen of Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia were in Council. A
correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
thus writes from the place Of meeting;
Never has there been such meeting
west of the Alleganies, except at Dayton,
Ohio, in 40 and 40 Hon. WALTER
FORWARD, late Secretary Of the Treasury,
presided, assisted by number of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries. The Prize
Banner was awarded to the delegates from
Gen. Markle's county, Westmoreland /;
they sent nearly two thousand delegates.
Fairly has she won it, and noblY will she
bear it in the coming contest. Mr.. For
WARD made one of his best speeches up,
on takeing the chair; he sat down, Hon
ANDREW STEWART, known through the
land as one ofthe most Jealous and elo'
quent of our champions, and the Hon
MIR GIDDINGs, Of Ohio, were successfully
introduced to the audience at the main
stand. Their speeches were all that could
be desired strong conclusive and elo
quent. Three other stands were occupied
at the same time by Messrs. PITTs, o
n hecling BRICGs and HANNA, of Ohio
MORGAN, of Louisiana, and other gentle.
men whose names | could not learn.
