blow for their cause by political action. We
showed, or attempted 70 show, that by acting
with the wing party they could stihe the an
nexation scheme, while if they held aloof. or
roted a third ticket, that scheme might prove
successful. And we drew the inference that
as the power to decide this annexation ques-
ton rests with them, the responsibility for
the result must rest upon them also.
Can aboIitionists escape this responsibility?
If they stand aloof from the contest, or vote a
third ticket. and as a consequence thereof, Mr..
Polk is elected, and Texas annexed, will not
the responsibility for the annexation rest upon
them! A man is responsible for every con-
sequence of an act ofhis, achich he toresees.-
This is perfectly obvious-as for instance, to
take a familiar illustration-suppose you are
shooting at a noxious animal, but as you are
about to pull the trigger you discover a man
exactly in the range of your ball; and sup
pose you fire notwithstanding and kill the
man.-Here you might safely say that it was
no part of YOUR intention to kill the man. You
sought only the life of the animal But
would that clear you from the responsibility
for the mans death! Clearly not. You
foresaw that if you fred You might kill the
man, therefore you are responsible. If then

THE BARGAIN" ISLANDER.

The Apr No Of the Southern Quarterly

Of L.ocofocoism contains an arficl9 on Clay

between the tw statesmen, the review makes
the following honorable and complete recan-
tation of his belief the always despicable
charge of bargin corruption made against
Mr.. CLAY:
1T is very seldom that we are furnished
with a finer vindication of ones self than can
be found in the address of Mr.. CLAY to his
constituents, in reply 10 the famous (infa-
nous y charge of bribery and corruption
made against him in the Presidential contest
of 1925. We well remember the time when,
in the heat and contest of battle, it seemed TO
us that charge was trumphan;ly sustained,
and that Mr.. CLAY, in the eye Of prosperity,
would be forever disgraced. But time and a
more even temper have produced here all the
results that his best friends could desire, and,
fresh from the perusal of this defence we are
ready to give him, if indeed he now requires
it. tie verdict of an acquittal. What is most
remarkable is the truIhlulness~ stamped upon
every line. 1t is the production of one who
seemed to feel that he was not writing for a

but for those who were 10 come on the stage.
1t is an argument to be read and admired by
those who would hear the charge and pro-

/ an, very respectfully,
ANDREW JACKSON"

So, "Old Hickory is of opinion, that 1T
Polk and Dallls are successful, Texas
will be ours - and calls upon those with
whom he NAV be supposed to have influence,
10 support Polk on that ground!
The above extract, besides showing on
what reason the support Of Polk is claimed
also shows the weakness and imbecilIty of the
old General, aud the case with which his
keepers mould him TO suit their designs.
Thus before the Baltimore Conventions,
when it was known that Van Buren, opposed
annexation, jackson thus wrote to B. F.
Butler. We quote from the Albany Ar
gus.
May God bless you, my dear friend, and
preside over your deliberations, and may con-
hdence on the part of all the democracy,
again be united on Mr.. Van Buren,. This
is the sincere prayer ofyour friend,
ANDREW JACKSON"
The poor old man then prayed for the
nomination of a man opposed to annexation
he now calls upon the democracy" TO
support a man because he is IN fdUor of" i'm
mediate annexalioni' We take the follow
ing extract, also, from one of his letters.
The reader will place it in connection with
zhe above:
"The Senator who votes against the ratifi-
cation Of the Treaty, must be a traitor to the
best interests of our beloved country, what
ever pretext he may attempt to hide himself
under"

OLD HICKORY IN THE FIELD.

The Locofocos see plainly that young
Hickory" as they facetiously call him, can't
stand alone, much less ran alone. They have
accordingly called upon Jackson for help and,
forced the old man, in his age and decrepi-
tade, 10 enter the feld,to back up and prop up
the poor apologies for candidates which they
have presented. So the old man has just
written IA letter, twill the Times copy it y of
the date of the 18th Of June, of which the
following forms the concluding paragraph:
LET us therefore, rally with patriotic ard
national zeal under the flag upheld by Polk
and Dallas. j thtydre successful IerdS and

BY an arrival yesterday from Texas, we

the Galveston Gazette expresses itself well

the condition of Texas viii be more happy

A correspondent of tho Matagorda Des-
patch says that two attacks have already been
made upon Col. kinney's Ranch at Corpus
Christi; and that a large body of Camanches
are within twenty leagues Of that place, from
whom a hostile visit is expected; that the
Government of Mexico has entered into a
treaty with those Indians, giving them blank
cts, ammunition, trinkets, &c, TO induce them
to commit ravages on our frontier. -Hoastcn
