Mr.. WILKINS'S LETTER.

Mr. Wilkins, the Secretary of War, has writ.
ten an exceedingly fiimsy letter to his late con-
sttuents in favor of the annexation of Texas. In
the first place, we remark, that the letter seems
to be wholly uncalcd for; and if it is not an at
tempt to dictate to the people, we can conceive
OF no other purpose which it was intended to SUBJ
serve. Nobody had written him upon the sub
ject, or otherwise expressed desire to know his
views, and it is therefore a legitimate inference
that Mr.. w. expected to forestal public senti-
ment by the gratuitous tender of his advice. The
overwhelming majority by which his district re-
turned member of opposite politics to fill his
vacated seat would hardly seem to warrant such
an assumption of superiority on his part.
Mr.. Wilkins's reasoning is all of the arsumen-
tuan ad homineDs order. His constituents being
interested largely in manufactures, he tells them
that the domestic market will be greatly extended
by the annexation and in order to cnch the nail'
he says that the people Of Texas are all to be in
favor of high tariff for the protection of the sugar
planters, who will occupy the largest and most fer
tile parts of the newly acquired country. If this be
the case, we would simply like to know "what
will Mrs. Grundy say?" What will the cotton
planters say to that! If his argument is good
in Pennsylvania, it is bad in South Carolina ;
for we believe that one of the main objects OF
annexation among Southern politicians is to
strengthen the anti Tariff party, and to overthrow
the protective systems. This may be regarded
as another instance of the meeting of extremes
The demagogues Of the North argue that annexa-
ton is to place the American system on stable
basis, while those of the South urge it forward
as the only means Of overthrowing that system
We trust that the people in neither section of the
Union will be wheeded by such contemplate
and contradictory sophstries.
Mr.. Wilkins thinks it absolutely necessary to
have Texas in order to prevent smuggling on the
southwestern frontier, an evil which, in his i'm.
agnaton, is fraught with sure destruction to the
country. The same argument would hold with
equal force in favor of taking the whole Ameri-
can continent; and if it is worth anything, the
Canadas would be absolutely essential to our ma
tional existence. The parade which is made with
this ridiculous, puerle concet, by grave minis.
ter of State, is truly laughable. Mr.. Wilkins's
logic is about of par with Senator Walkers, to
which we adverted day or two since, who ack-
nowledges that annexation is to cause an i'm
mense sacrifice in his own cotton lands, and yet
maintains that it is for the benefit of the South.

SHAKsPEARE's MOTHER" Mary Shakespeare
survived her son Edmqnd about eight months,
and was buried at Stratford on the 9th Septem-
Der, 1908. There are few points of his life
which can be stated with more confidence, than
that our great dramatist attended the funeral of
his mother filial pey and duty would, of course
impel him to visit Stratford on the occasion, and
in proof that he did so, we may mention that on
the 10Th of the next month he stood godfather
there to boy of the name of William Walker.
Shakspeare's mother had probably resided at
New Place, the rouse of her son, from whence,
we may presume, also, the body of her husband
had been carried to the grave seven years before.
If she was of full age when she was married to
John Shakespeare in 1857, she was about seven.

True Democracy regards our free Constitution

it as nullity, and violates it at pleasure.
True Democracy seeks by wholesome and well
regulated laws to protect and encourage Amer-

pretext of Free Trade.
True Democracy seeks to secure to American
labor fair and just reward. Locofocoism seeks
