APPROPRIATE SONG,

Federal Whiggery how disappointed you feel

Song"
Sadly we list to our funeral chime,
Horribly ont in tune and time,
But when the star of the West grows dim,
Wen sing at the ''jug'' parting hymn
Row brothers, row the stream runs deep
Wake up, Webster you're fast asleep
Steadily our shallop is homeward bound
Hoarsely the ripple is murmurng round
Listen our fugleman raises the song,
And its burden is, "Josey, oh Jim along"
Row brothers. row the stream runs fast,
Salt river is gained and our glory's past
Our money is gone, and our bills are due;
Credit dear Credit, dear Where are you
Loafers and pipers, no more we'll dine
On bacon boiled in Falernian wine,
Row brothers, row the stream runs fast,
The glory of cider and sin is past
Swiftly we near the arid shore,
Putting and tugging the heavy oar;
Sadly we sit on our thread-bare cloth,
Fishing for meat in our coonskin broth.
Row brothers, row the stream runs swift +,
Rouse up, Harry, and give US a lift
Merry we've been in days gone by,
Pleasure has beamed from our lordy eye,
But now the autumn of Joy is come,
Our sentence is passed, and we succumb
Rest brothers, rest the distances past;
Salt river is gained and we are fast
Here where the carrion buzzard flies,
Picking out famines insatiate eyes,
Well eat our shadows, and blow away,
Like mist from mountain tall and gray
Die brothers, die our day is past
Salt river murmurs our dirge at last"

Mr.. POlk's Letter OF Acceptance.

The following is Mr.. Folks letter accepting
the nomination of the Presidency, conferred
upon him by the Baltimore Convention. 1t is
plain, concise, and satisfactory 1t contains one
principle that simportant to the purity of our e.
lections, and which we are pleased TO see thus
plcitly avowed by Mr. Polk.-It is that he ,oiH not
be a candidate for re.eiection We have long
been convinced that the one term principle is
the only true one 1t is too much to expect any
man to be perfectly honest and independent in
the administration his duties, when his hopes Of
a reelection to be influenced by the perfor.
nance of those duties. Mr. Polk has done the
democracy great service, in thus, at the outset,
establishing this vital principle as part of his
political creed -
"CoLuMBiA, Tenn, June l2, 1914.
GrNrLEMEN Il have had the honor to receive
your letter of the 2Oth ultimo, informing me
that the democratic national convention then aa.
sembled at Baltimore, had designated me to be
the candidate of the democratic party for Presi-
dent of the United States, and that | had been u
unanimously nominated for that office
II has been we'll observed that the Office OF
President of the United States should neither be
sought nor declined. have never sought it, nor
shall feel at liberty TO decline it, if conferred
upon me by the voluntary suffrages of my fell
low citizens. In accepting the nomination am
deeply impressed with the distinguished honor
which has been conferred upon me by my repub
lean friends, and am duly sensible of the great
and mighty responsibilities which must ever dc
volve on any citizen who may be called to fiji
the high station of President of the L. States.

declare, that if the nomination made by the con

: IMPORTANT NEws.-We learn from Wash
ington, that on Saturday, an important Coun-
Gil was held, but have not received such def
mite information as to justify any conjectures.
There is no longer a doubt of the tact, that
the Ministry Of France and England are equal
ly and eagerly intent on defeating the annex
alton OF Texas to the United States Intelli-
gence has been received on this point, which
cannot be doubted. 1t is greatly to be feared
that the time for us TO act has gone by-that
the golden opportunity can never be recalled.
Already has Texas been informed that the imme-
date recognition other independence by Mer-
leo, will be guaranteed by France and Eng
land, upon satisfactory assurance that the
measure of annexation will be abandoned for
eper. Already has she been informed that the
abolition Of slavery will no longer be a sine
qua non And it is believed (but there is no
proof on this subject which can be relied on as
certain) that large sum would be paid in ad-
vance, in lieu of duties on British and French
manufactures, if Texas will enter into cores
ponding stipulations not to increase these duties
for long period of time.
We should not be surprised to hear, within
the next sixty days, that this treaty had actu'
! ally been concluded. The temptation held out
! TO Texas is very great. 1t is rendered at a
/ time when the resentment of that people against
us will be at the highest point. 1t is known
the Executive of Texas never approved cord
ally the late treaty, but that he and his Secrc
tary of State, after holding back for many months
/ finally yielded to the known wishes OF the peo
( ple NOp he may be able to carry his pso
/ pie Dith him, and he will be encouraged to en-.
/ ter into the new treaty 80 much more congeni
al with his opinions heretofore declared. 1t il
to be feared he will readily accept the advan
tages rendered by France and England wht
will enter upon the negotiation now with al
the eagerness of a gamester who is Just relieved
fiom the most fearful apprehension of the stake
having been swept of in consequence Of it'll,
inattention.
That this treaty will be formed, and speedll,
formed, no human being could doubt, if the com
municatlons of which we have heard be true
Indeed it is said the Texan Minister, (wh
is thoroughly American in all his feelings Ina
actually resigned his post and it is believe
by some, that he has done so because he is ur
~iiiing 10 be a party TO the contemplate
treaty. 1t is known he anticipated this yer
state of things-aye, and warned our govern
ment of it. Our only hope rests now with tn
people of Texas. Ifthe people and the presse
OF this country shall appeal to them as brothers
who are "bope Of our bone, and flesh of ou
fesh," having the same feelings and ties of kin
dred relationship that bind the people of ou
States together, they may refuse to ratify
! treaty that would make them aliens and foreign
! ers to us forever-which would turn them c
yer to France and England as their futur
friends and allies, and make them regard us a
we regard England.-Riehmond Eng. June .:
