This is modern Democracy and about The

Messing an disqualification Of it, in the
conduct of The Van Buren, dough faces
of the North, who are waiting for their
cue on the Texas question. We have no.
ticed within the last few days some a
musing backing out in cases where opin-
ions had been honestly but too hastily
expressed before orders were received
from head quarters. Worthy brelheren Of
this Democratic party must learn not to
have any opinions on such questions, iiR

as some individuals we know are prepar-
ing to do. That difference of opinion
exists in the north as well as the south we
do not doubt, and if that opinion is allow
ed 10 operate uninfluenced by party con-
sideration. with which it really has no
natural connexion,) we might hope for an
honest descision in the case, a descision
in which due regard would be paid TO the
merits of the question. And in such a
case we have no doubt that nine tenths of
the citizens of the U. s. would be opposed
to annexation. As ii is improbable, if not
impossible at this time, that such deci-
sion can be habitat alone is sufficient
reason for its postponemem until the next
election shall have passed by. IL the
meantime, we ought perhaps TO excuse
such as ate hard run for political capital
for mounting the hobby, and making the
most of it. AS for Capt. Tyler, we can
excuse him for mounting any hobby, or
doing almost any act. If he should even
take it in head to initiate the last act of
his great prototype Judas Iscariot with
the same fidelity that he has initiated his
treachery; we would say, well done, and
would forthwith contribute our mite TO
place him beside his great exemplar in the
highest niche in the temple of Ill fame.

him as wing elector n 1S40.

there is not an organ more basely subser-

we see its columns opened for the dissen-

E di,or of that paper, and every intelligent
citizen of the United States, know to be |
as base LIE, as il would be to charge
Mr.. Clay, with being the advocate ofM.

The following extract from Mr.. Whites |
remarks in Congress, places the Brown
forgery in its true light.
