The Wing is sore!y gravelled Al the sweeping
influence of the Texas question. II iorcSecs the
fatal wound it is bound TO innict on the ''moon-
reaching ambition OF Henry CLAY: and in or
der 10 couneract its effects, ii parades in glaring
capitals the resolves of t'rO meetings in South
Carolina. looking 10 dissolution OF the Union,
in case Texas be not annexed. 1t carefully pass
es over our own disapprohation ofthe extreme inca
sureS Swallowed forth BY the South Carolina meet
ingS, and shouts forth vociferously, that because
the friends OF Mr.. Polk participated in these
meetings therefore the Democrats in Virginia and
elsewhere, 90 for disunion if they Go not get
Texas Was there ever balder hunbug? To
blind the eyes Of the people, it raises The woli-cry
of Texas or Disunion,' and thereby hopes 10
drown the voice f,he people of Virginia, who are
asking forthe annexation But the Wing will find
itself wofully mistaken Wcshall certainly acquire
Texas and that, too, without disunion, without
war; without breach of faith. or violation OF ma
tional honor, and ,Rsmte of the anti-American OPP
position of Mr.. Clay and the leading Wings 10
this vital question. The people OF Virginia have
roomuch intelligence TO be frightened from their IA
yorite schemes BY the cuckoo cry OF "Disunion.'
They can see the object of the Wings through the
smoke they have raised-They can see the Indy of
the foolish ostrich, tho lis hccG be buried in the
sand. Henry Clay has thought proper 10 oppose the
annexation Of Texas-let him bearall the respon-
sihilites and meet his tate as he deserves Let
mol his plant supporters manufacture facts, and
then base on these facts false charges upon the
Democracy of treason TO the Union. Their
game is too plain-and the effort TO gain capital
forthe Dictator will react on the asitations We
will inform the Wing that one of our battle-cries
is, 'The Union and Texas, and it will surely
prevail over aClay and No Texas"
One lcor9 more! We saw very sensible and
honest member of Congress from the South, on
Wednesday Evening. He saw Mr. Calhoun on
Tuesday-and they were in conversation on these
ultra declarations in South Carolina. He as
sured US that no man regretted and reprobated
more than Mr.. Calhoun did, these wild illusions
to dissolution. He thought them unfortunate,
even mischierous. They were calculated 10 fur
nish handle Of iiiberai attack and idle clamor
to the presses OF the Wing party Mr.. c. goes
for Texas, but against dissolution.
