Use act which greatly reduced and mod
flied the duties of the act of '28. Gov.
Polk voted for both these bills. In a
word, Mr. Clay lays great stress in the
Bronson letter on the fact that after his
return to congress in 1881, he labored to
reduce and modify the "high tariff" of
1898; and when he comes to speak of
the present tariff, the plain import of his
language is that he approves of it SIN The

But be this as it may, the fraud which
we have cndeavored to expose, is as clear

that he and Gov, Polk occupy the same
ground on this subject-and all their eff

ANNEXATION-A WING VIEW
OF IT.

The n. Y. Courier and Enquircr(whig)
is in favor of the Annexation of Texas,
for the following considerations which it
gives;
FIRST, The Annexation of Texas would
OF necessity, exclude the further intro
ductlon Of slaves from that beautiful
country, because the laws of the Union
would be extended over it, and those
laws make the slave trade Piracy.
Second, 1t wouldnot increase the num-
Der OF slaves in the country, but merely
increase the territory occupied by them.
Third, 1t is well known fact, that
wherever slave labor is most valuable,
it is the interest of the master to treat
the slave most kindly. Where his labor
produces the largest sum in return, the
master can afford, and finds interest in
providing for him better food, clothing
and shelter; and consequently every per-
son who has at heart the welfare of the
slave, should jealousy advocate any and
every measure, which is calculated to
compel the shareholders in the Northern
Slave States, to send them farther South.
To@rih. With the rich lands of Texas
inhabited by our own people and consti-
tutlng portion of our Union, no slave
holder III Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky or Missouri, could afford to
retain his slaves, but would find it to his
interest to send them further South.
FJh, The annexation of Icros would
greatly increase the wealth and rapidly
extend the commerce of the country.
Sirih, Texas intwcnty years will grow
all the cotton that Great Britain will re-
quirc. She will admit British goods free
of duty, and in return Great Britain will
exclude the cOiim Of the United States
from her ports unless we too receive her
goods free, and if we refuse, rs we doubt
less would, they would be smuggIcd into
the country through Texas!
The truth of these positions cannot be
questioned. But say the opponents of
this mcasurc-"The influence of the
South will prcpondcrate by the admission
of new slave statcs:' Is this true; Can
a new state be admitted without the sane
ton of Congress; and will not the North
always refuse the admission of new
slave state into the Union without the adj
mission oi free state at the same time;
Then what becomes of Delaware Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri;
Texas is part Of the Union, and in
very few years these become free states
of necessity. Delaware is virtually so
at this time; and Maryland, Kentucky
and Virginia would have been, if the alb
olitionists had not intericrcd with them.
In short, we cannot find solitary valid
argument against the annexation of Tex
as into the Union, while we are of the
deliberate opinion that philanthropy and
policy are alike in favor of the measure.
We believe we have not seen this pow
crilIl argument of the leading wing press
in New York copied into the Troy Wing
or any other Northern federal paper.
Was it designed erclusireiy to convince
the Southern Coons, that Northern whig-
gerry is sound on the Texas question;

articles we ever wrote on the subject nj
protection. They will show that we adj
vocatcd then, as now, "protection TO all

system that protects one class at the ex-

opposition we made to the Restrictive

it was intended TO protect the few to the
