Claws reasons against Mr. Tyler's plan
annexation, but sill thought him in favo
of the object.
(3.) Is not Mr. Clay the original pro
ieclor of The scheme of annexation2 Di'
he not move it in Congress in 1920? |
it not the leading object Of the slavehold
ers and is not he slaEeAolder9 Tn,
wings who admit these facts, resign ,ht
whole question.
(4.) fused no insolence, but simply sale
l called no parties by terms of reproach
but by the names they chose to assume
and that unless l quoted slang, I never
called them "coons," locofocos,' or
"third party
(5) l must be permitted to question the
correctness of this statement. Many use
this term of reproach as many democrats
call the wings, coons But had sup
posed there were many wing orators, if
not editors,too manly 10 combine in such q
contemplate mode Of warfare.
(6 } Very true, sir, they have no title
to the name, - neither have the party to
which you belong 10 the title Of Wing
Their acts differ fearlully from true de-
mocracy-as do those of your party from
those of the wings of the Revolution, But
neither Of them can long deceive by a
name. Any name assumed by party,
soon comes 10 have a definite meaning, &
to represent the spiit and acts Of The body
arrogating it.
(7.) This is not only untrue and with
out foundation, but a perfect perversion OF
wha, did say. In conversation with
Mr. Cobb-Mr Bells priuter-in which
labored to satisfy him that the charges of
his party that am democrat, told him
the democrats in New Hampshire call
tne lederaist, while ia Vermont the 4
wings declare am locoioco. And out
ofthis Mr. B. has manufactured this story. !
(8.) And on this maxim he probably |
coined this Story. Does Mr. Bell think it |
a less evil 10 make f,se statements about
an abolitonist, than TO have his party To-
cured by abolition? What confidence can
there be reposed in mans word who
makes it a rale 10 do evil that good may
come"-a maxim to choose between
evils" to do a moral wrong lest somebody
else do greater one2 Is it "right 10 lie
for the lruth?"
(9) Prevent slavery by making slave
holders law make RS Tint is the only
way slavery has been fostered and brought
to its present giant strength in this coun-
try. AS well may man talk OF stopping
lheI! by demoiishing prisons and paying
premium to thieves, of stopping ntem-
perance by licensing the sale of liquor
(l0) Entire misrepresentation. We
treated wings and democrats alike, and
slated repeatedly, that we had no more
confidence in the one than the other. The
reason that Mr. Drury was in the chair
is ths;-The discussion was 10 be be.
{ ween liberty man and whig, and the
moderator was not to belong to either of
these parties. was an entire stranger
10 almost every soul in the house, and on
calling for a nomination for moderator,
stated that he must be democrat, a Ty-
Ter man or Mormon. Now is it fair or
honorable ndy-is it honest in Mr. Bell
10 attempt to make his readers believe, that
that meeting was democratic one ? be-
;ause in such circumstances The chair
nan was democrat2
(ll) Their letters Of last June place
place them on precisely the same princi-
pie as 10 Tariff.
(I2) Undoubtedly; and so it has prov t
ID to Mr. Bell, who has been admonished
~ it to keep carefully out of the lists. For &
he next Thursday evening invited this i
same gentleman, together with Hon VIM. c
5lade and Hon. S. S. Phelps, and J. NJ. i,
5lade, Esq. 10 continue the discussion, ,
which was prudently declined And now
o show the people of Addison County the t
con fdence Mr. Bell has in this sta ement,
make him the following fir
