THE EFFECT OF THE NOMINATION, OF Mr.. POLK
UPON The VAN buren, PARTY.-We have never
seen so many wry Iaces. as the Van Buren, men
exhibited, when the nomination of Mr. Polk
reached them. The most violent dose OF physic,
could not have CAUSED greater contentious OF
countanance.
The nomination of Mr.. Polk isin indeed a dose
of physie which as they know they are Ill, they
must take, and DO take, as the patient takes cal
omel. or calomel and jalap. The operation OF
the dose upon them they cannot exactly toresee'
but having in~trusted themselves TO the doctors
OF physic at Baltimore, they take what they pres
cribe for them. Whether the operation Is ca.
thartic, or emetic, they don't know, but this they
DO know, they must take it and lake they do.

The bill was amended in the House of
Representatives so as to continue the Bran
ches- then in the States where there were not
more than two, and so returned TO the SEN
ate. On the Sd of July, on motion of Mr..
Dallas, the previous business was postponed
and this amendment concurred in, voting for
it. So the bill passed, and was sent 10 Presl-
dent Jackson for his approval.
On the 9th July it was rumored that the
bill would be vetoed, and Mr. Dallas, in con-
versation with Mr.. Corwin on that subject,
declared emphatically, that Gen. Jackson
dared not 10 veto the bill! Under instruc-
tons doubtless! But on the 10th July, Presl-
dent Jackson returned the bill to the Senate
with his celebrated veto message, in which
he declared that if he had been consulted,
a bill might have been framed to meet the
wants of the Treasury and avoid any consti-
t%utional objection! The same day the ques-
ton was taken in Senate upon the passage
of the bill, notwithstanding the veto, and il
was again passed % to 10, Mr.. Dallas and
Mr.. Wilkins voting for the bill against the
veto of the Old Hero. Those peremptory in

MAJOR JONES' INTERVIEW WITH MR..
CLAY AT AUGUSTA.

.E H
1t noon, l went TO the Masonic Hall and was
hand, seq |. Pm monstrous glad TO see you in
Georgia, sir. l hope you are a thrivin,'' SEE L.
''Thank you," Major, seq he, 'staank you sir,
how is the baby!n
fright piert. THANK you SIR seq l, sand the
surprisinest child in Georgla--he's a perfect
coon - seq l..
'That's the right stock, Major, 'says he, sgive
my respects to. Mrs. Jones, and tell her l hope
--'' but before Mr.. Clay could get it out
some body TUX nae by the coat tail, and seq he,
give way Major, and the first thing l knowd |
was crowded away into tother eend of the room
by the fellers that was tryin to git at Mr.. Clay.
Blmeby they got a ring around him and then
every body had a fair shown. Locky Fockys
and all came up shook the old mans hand in
good hearty fashion, and | don't believe there
was a man left the room that didn't like the old
coon better than be ever dld when he went in
Thr's something about him that draws one to
him and makes one feel perfectly familiar al
though he feels that he's in the presence of a
great man. He's monstrous ugly, if you go to
people's-but for all that, he's the best looking
man | ever saw. His mouth is like an overseer's
wages, extendin from one years eend 10 %tother,
but when he speaks, you wouldn't have 1t any
smaller it you could. 1t seems like natur made
IT so a purpose to give free vent TO the patriotic
emotion oil his noble heart. His eye sparkles
with the fire OF genius--his broad forehead looks
like the front view of the Temple of wisdom, 81
and all features besPeak him the nobiest work
OF God--AN HONEST MAN.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

We collect the following news from Mex
leo, in relation to Annexation of Texas to
the United States, from the New Orleans
Picayune of the llth instant:
BY the arrival yesterday of The Mexican
steamer Petrita, we have Vera Cruz dates
up to the Sd inst. The Petrita brought ov-
er Senior J. Gozalez de la Vega, bearer of
despatchatches for General Almote, the Mex
lean minister, who is now on his way to
Washington post haste.
The United States steamer Poinsett sail
ed on the Sd inst, with Col. Thompson on
board, to land at Galveston.
The papers, all over Mexico, speak in
terms of great indignation against the pro-
posed annexation of Texas. One of the
editors says that the republic has the will
and the means to resist a movement of the
kind-has a great army already disciplined,
and the great Santa Anna to take the com
mand.
The Diaro of the 10Th May copies a long
string of articles against annexation, which
have appeared in the journals of the United
States which are opposed to it. ia
The following letter, from an occasional
correspondent, we copy. 1t contains i'm
portant intelligence:
VERA Cruz, June Sd, 1914
DEAR SIRs: AT the last moment | write
these few lines. Gel. Thompson left in the
Poinsett about two hours since, and by hel
| wrote you the news; but the Petrita, will
no doubt reach your city before the Poinsett.
the latter having to touch at Galveston. In
a few words, Col. Thompson has not been
successful in his mission, the. Mexican Gov
eminent having repeated its former declara-
ton, that if Texas is annexed she, Mexico.
declares war. In haste.
We know nothing of the nature ofhis de.
spatches, but they must be important.
1t also appears from official documents in
the Diario del Gobierno that an extra session
ofthe Mexican Congress was ordered to as
semble on the lst. The. main object, accor
ding to the official paper, seems TO be to ad
opt measures for prosecuting the war agains
Texas. The Diario is filled, for the mos
part with Gov eminent documents, and arti
cles upon the all-engrosing subject of the
annexation of Texas 10 the United States
The Mexican editors, one and all, say tina.
Texas always was and always shall be par
and parcel of that Republic, and that the
people will contend to the death before al
inch of territory viii be relinquisbed.

We subjoin the following infamous article
from the Nauvoo Neighbor, Joe Smiths Or

and have destroyed the press and materials
of the Nauvoo Exposltor. 1t is thus that
Joe Smith, in the exercise of his tyrannical
priestcraft, destroys the liberty ofspeech and
of the press, and violates the rights of pro-
perty. ifthe perpetrators of this outrage be

for such an institution in Illinois:
NAUvoo NEIGHBoR, EXTRA, JUNE 10
RetribatiUe Justice.-A knot of base men,
10 further the wicked and malicious designs
towards the church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, and to bolster UP the intents
of black legs and bogus makers,and advocate
the characters of murderers, established a
press in this city last week, and issued a
paper entitled the ''Nauvoo Expositor.r The
prospectus showed an intention to DESTROY
the character, and the paper was filled with
libels and SANDER articles upon the citizens
and city council from one end to the other.
"a burnt child breads the fire the church
as a body and Individually has suffered till
'forbearance has ceased 10 be a virtue; > the
cries and pleadings of men, women, and
children, with the authorities, was, will you
suffer that servile murderous intended paper

cent inhabitants of this city, and raise an
other mob to drive and plumber us again as
they did in Missouri? Under these pressing
cries and supplications o afflicted innocence,
and in the character, dignity, and honor Of
the corporate powers of the charter, as grant
ed to the city of Springfield, and made and
provided as a part of our charter, for legisla-
tive purposes, viz: "to declare what shall be

same,' the city council ofNauvoo on Mon
day, the 10Th inst, declared the establish
ment and Exposition a nuisance; and the city
Marshal at the head ofthe police in the ev-
ening took the press, materials and paper III
to the street and burnt them.
And in the name of freemen and in the
name of God, we beseech all men who have
The spirit of honor in them TO cease from
prosecuting us collectively or individually.
Let us enjoy our religion, rights, and peace
like the rest of mankind; why start presses
TO destroy rights and privileges, and bring up
on US mobs to plumber and murder? We
ask no more than what belongs to us-rights

Our neighbors over the river have a precious
Representa- i've in Congress in thekperson OF L.
]. Henley. He lately made a speech IN Congress
in which he tiled 10 reach the heigat oil IN MIA
my attnined by Duncan ofOhio, and Mcdonnell
OF Alabama. But he was a little too weak III the
wing to reach that upper region OF MANY
Among a great many other ridiculous things, he
said:
tina the object of his party, in pretending
to be in favor OF Van Buren's nomination was to
induce the Wings TO throw away their ammu-
milton upon him. They never intended TO make
Mr.. Van Buren, their candidate. They only
wished to put their opponents on wrong scent
and to bring down their fire upon him SO that lis
force might be spent and diverted from the ac-
tual nomtpeeH"
1t is very certain, that, IT his party suffer such
men as Henley TO be their mouth pieces. they
had better disband at once. To say that the To-
colocos s.never intended 10 make Mr.. Van Buren,
their candidate' is to say tn at the party is com
posed of the most astonishing liars and hypocri-
les ever dreamed OF. Sixteen States resolved
that Van Buren, was by far the most eligible
man OF the party as a candidate, and. according
TO Henley, these sixteen States lied TO deceive
the Wings. This was lying with q vengeance,
though without skill. The Locos were much
more deceived than the Wings IN Folks noml-
nation. 1T Henley thinks the Wings have ex-
hausted their 'Hfre" Oh Van Buren,, he is g realty
mistaken. The Wings have FIRE enough to roas
all such Locos as he Is, thus giving them a very
appropriate foretaste in this world of what awaits
them hereafter, unless they repent of their sins

"sThe wool growers consider the duty up
on 70 reign wool as important to their pros
perity. This opinion,I apprehend, as found
ed in error"
"1Iy opinion is that wool should be duty
free; but as wool-grow ers think otherwise,
we have retained a dutyof fifteen fer cent.
upon the imported article. "-[Congressional
Debates, vol. 8, p. l174.]
The above declarations were made by
JAMES X. POLK, in a speechdeliverod in
Congress, against a Protective Tariff in the
session of 1929. We wish Farmers to
note the declarations of Mr.. Polk. He thinks
that wool should be admitted duty free; but
to CRAFTY a desire he thinks based upon ig-
norance and error, he is willing to allow a
duty of Is per cent. The Wing tariff impo-
ses a duty of3 cents per pound or thirty per
cent. ad. valorem, on the qualities Of foreign
wool, that come in competition with ours
What have been the operations Of the Wing
Tariff? The amount of wool imported into
this country last year, was less by one hall
than it was in lS4l, before the adoption OF
the new Tariff. The demand for wool has,
for a year past, constantly increased and
there hes been a gradual increase of prices
during all that time. These are facts, to
the truth ofwhich every farmer and wool
grower and wool purchaser can attest. Mr.
Polk is of opinion that wool should be ad-
mitted duty free, and that those who think
otherwise, know nothing about the matter
Farmers, are you prepared to endorse his
declaration, and aid in repeating the Wing
Tariff, that protects your interests, and ad.
vances the prices Of this staple production!
