The following is part Of an article by
the iuleligen, and bold editor of the CO.
umba IS. O. Chronicle, who, in the
midst of the Locofoco notification Of that
State. has maintained his journal true 10
Wing principles aud the Union. The
facts here stated ought to open the eyes
of s'Annexatiorisis:o
"THE TEXAS HUMBUG.-We happen
ed, during the summer, to travel in com
pany with an Intelligent Texan who had
abandoned that country in disgust, with
the intention of settling in this. OF which
lie is native. In reply 10 queries pro-
pounded to him in regard to the amount
of the debt of Texas and the quantity of
vacant land within her borders, he answer
ed that he had no doubt her debt amount
ed to at least my millions Of dollars; that,
exclusive OF her foreign debt, which had
never teen properly estimated, she owed
her own citizens for large sums Of money
borrowed from them, and for provisions
supplied and taken TO subsist her troops;
that. as regarded vacant lands, there was
not an inch Of ground in Texas worth
owning but was covered three grants
deppn We were frst inclined TO doubt
his statements, but have since been led to
believe they were nearly correct. Unjust
have struck every unbiased mind, on
reading the correspondence accompany
ing the form of the late treaty, as a very
singular fact, that the commissioners ap-
pointed on the part of Texas to negotiate
i, could not tell what the amount Of her
debt was Is II possible they were as
ignorant of it as they pretended to beg
We think not. AT any rate, there is not
much faith to be put in the statements Of
a Government that cannot tell whalis the
amount Of its liabilities. Our little Florl-
Ga war, lasted only a few years, against a
handful of Indians, cost the country up
wards Of forty millions; and will any body
believe that the protracted Texas war
cost that nation less than double that a
mount.

The editors of the Herald are trying to

and ought to be REDUCED"
On the above proposition the J cas- and

BY the above it will be seen that all the
LocoCocns (eXeept two) voted AGAINST
the Ta:iff. While ALL the Wings voted
IN FAVOR of the Tariff.

"a should bc Remembered.

II shouh be remembered, 7 hat James
K. Polk declared on the Goth Of May
1913; as follows
Il had steadily, during the period was
a representative in Congress. been opposed
TO protective policy, as my recorded
votes and public speeches prove. Since
| retired from Congress had the same
opinions. In the present canvass for
Governor ! had avowcd my opposition to
the tariff act of the late Wing Congress,
as being highly protective in its charac-
Ter; anL not designed by its authors as a
rerenue measure"
II ShovH be remembered, That the pre-
| seut tarilact, passed by Wing Congress,
has worked admirably, giving both pro-
lection to American labor and abundant
rcrehue to the government.

James X. Polk said, in 1913, 81 am OPP

bates, vol. Q. page ll9l that "thc wool
growers consider the duty On foreign
wool as important to their prosperity.
This opinion ] apprchend is founded in
error
"Ny opinion is, that wool should be

act entitled "An Act supplementary 10 an
Act for the relief Of certain surviving Of
fcers and soldiers Of the revolution" See
Journal Of the House of Representatives
of lS30-'@l, page 323.

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
cling to their friends and customers. that
they have on hand large supply of the above
poughs Of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change Of times are enabled to offer at great
ly reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended 10 us
last year by the sale of over 1000 of these piougs,
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced TO spair no pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be to those who
purchase OF US. We have now plough which is
so we'll adapted to our SOIL that it sets all comuc-
ton a. defiance. For the information of thouse un-
acquainted with its construction we will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surface Of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made Of
wrought iron. The shear of steel, (Which is at
tached to the moud-board by three small bots,) so
that it is easily taken off by means of the clcvs.pin
to be repaired or replaced by one. The shape
of the mouldboard is constructed on strictly scien-
lc principles, SO that 1t scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy soil, which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section of the country as
it thereby enables ateam to accomplish at least one
third more work in day, with far greater case, and
in much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
in the part year have received the warnest tcsti-
monials in regard to them from hundreds of our
practical men who have them in use; and at the ST.
Louis County Agricultural society's Fair, held in
October last, we were on trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Also diploma at the Fair Of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last. But
the best evidence of their superiority to all others
