Independent Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1844-11-27


lions the following striking fact, which
goes TO prove that the wings of the soutI
were opposed TO a modification of the ia
riff Of '42, and the democrats of the North
in favor Of it.
SIT is fact worthy Of notice, that of the
persons who in the present Congress voted
for Mr.. M'Kay's bill 10 modify the existing
tariff, only two have failed of re. election,
provided they have been candidates-viz:
Labranche OF Louisiana, and Chappell, of
Georgia, both of whom reside in strong
wing districts. On the other hand, five
who voted against the modification, and
who were candidates for reelection, have
been left at home, viz: Morris, Smith and
jerks, Of Pennsylvania, and Vanmetre
and Florence, Of Ohio. All these have
been succeeded by democrats, or Ameri-

"What! shall we have ncision? shall we

Then death rock me asleep, abridge my
doubtful days!
Why then let gricvous, ghastly, gaping

"a possible erent.-From present ndi.
cations, it Is possible, barely possible, we
admit, that the vote Of Louisiana may de.
termne the election of President and
Wee President Of The United States. In
this view of the case, the frauds praclised
IN Piaquemincs by The locofocos, assume a
fearful and tremendous Importance. If, as
we assume, the rascality perpetrated in PIa-
quem'nes, should give the State, as now
seems probable. to Polk and Dallas, d ,

VIII tumble this government into heap
OF shaPcless ruins in less than four months,
Elected by such means, Mr.. Polk will
never take his seat as President of the u.
States-there will be no seat for him 10
take! The moment he is declared cleo
ted by the vote Of Phquemnes, the 60
Fernment is at an enc, and the worlds last
nope IS but the wreck Of its former glory
and greatness. Revolution, civil war in
It's worst shap, will have come upon US.
and anaichy and ruin will spread over ali
the land.
This is not the language of an idle Vi,
slonary, but The words of soberness and
truth. 1t is not 10 be concealed that the
people oil this Union will never submit to
such outrage, it is impossible that they
should. Louisiana my bow her proud
head in shame, and submit her hitherto
free limbs to the manacles, but she alone
cannot decide the question. If she was the
only sufferer, if her rights only were tram
pied upon, she might meekly submit 10
her degradation. But it is net so! Bv
DISTINGUISHING her through the means of
the Plaquemines frauds, a dire blow is
aimed at the other States and millions of
the people of the Union! The question is
not, then, one that demands the consider
alton OF single State, but large portion
OF the conlederacy; and, in this view, we
repeat, 1t becomes one of fearful and mo.
mentous importance"
A passage in his quondam existence did
probably not occur 10 his recollection, or
it doubtless would have been repeated. 1t
runeth nearly thus:
'"Shall Polk be President! I'll see him
damned frsi;-to Pluio's damned lake, to
The internal deep, with Erebus and tor.
ures vile also. Hold hook and line, say l."
North Carolina is still IN doubt, and we
car in darkness. -Natchez Courier.
