POLK ON TEXAS.

s0Mr. Polk has written another letter
about Texas, 10 an Immediate Annexation
meeting in Carroll County, KY. In this let
ter he says:
Il will only add that regard the question
Of the annexation of Texas TO the United
States as second in importance to no other
public subject or question whichnow engages
the public attention. In my Judgment, the
present opportunity should not be lost of be-
coming re- united with country from which
the United States should never hive been sep
arated.'
Does the present opportunity mean the
Tyler Treaty. That is what we want to
get at il possible. lift does, what right has
Mr. Polk to Mr. Tyer's thunder, and what
has NE done or what will he do in aid of that
treaty. The Loco-Focos are really reduc-
ed &c most pitiable extemi;y-forced to COM
NIT petty larceny on John Tyler and rob him
of his own darling Texas present opportuni-
ty,' and after all incapable ofmaking any use
OF what they have stolen. 1t DOES begin to
look as il MIR. Polk was the third candidate.

RATIFICATION MEETING.

The ratification of the Polk ticket which is
so oily in the Threats of Vermont Loco Focos
goes hard in New York, Albany, Rochester
and Buffalo. All the gatherings are
utterly spiritless in the empire State. The
leaders of the party there are wofully cha
grined at lhe unmerited g. insolent treatment
which the '.faporite SON. has received from
from the South. They see that he has been
crushed by the intrigues of the Texas faction.
Poor Matty Van, had he served his country
as faithfully as he has served his southern
taskmasters, he would not now be an used
up man. But we cannot lament that his
treachery to the North has at last met its
just reward. Anything but Janus Faced
candidate.

PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. The Richmond
Wing which has generally proved sagae-
ious in judging from the Signs of the
Times: says that information from
Pennsylvania shows that the Polk ticket
is regarded as truly farcical, and will DO
beaten by any majority for Clay & Free
linghuysen which may be de sired.
From every part of Virginia the editor
has the most cheering intelligence. The
locus in that State can hardly believe
that the nomination of Polk & Dallas ID
real. They pronounce il wing lie. Inc
Texas humbug has failed to detach one
genuine wing from the support OF Mr..
Clay. Accounts from Ohio. Tennessee
North Carolina, Georgia. and even Miss
issippi and Missouri, are Of like cheering
character, although these States are those
intended to be affected by the "IsTd'
bomb"

A TEST VOTE IN THE SENATE.

The Wing Tariff which triumphed over
all the assaults of its enemies in the House
of Representatives, has also been susl aim
ed and BY an emphatic vote, in the Senate.
Pending the discussion on Mr.. McDuffie's
Free Trade propositions, Mr.. Allen of
Ohio, with a view of getting on the prin-
cipIcs and details Of the present Tariff,
moved a resolution declaring "that the du-
ties imposed by existing laws on importa-
tons are unjust aud ought to be reduced"
This question being taken the resolution
was rejected by the following vote =
Yeas-Messrs. Allen, Atkinson, Bag
by, Benton, Breese, Fairfield, Fulton,
flanagan, Haywood, Huger, Lewis, Nc
Dufie, Niles, Semple, Sewer, Tappan,

Affirmative Is, ALL Loco Focos-Neg-
ative D, viz. % Wings and two Locos
(Mcssrs. Buchanan'an Sturgeon, of Penn

tire Wing party of the Union, South as
well as North, stands fast for the present
Tariff; while the Loco Focos, with scarce
an exception are committed against the Ia
r!F On which side are the People, for
or against the Tariff?

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

During the last week the subject of rail roads
has been presented to the people of the CO. by
Gen. Brown of Rutland. He clearly proves
the superiority Of this route from Bellows
Falls to Burlington, to that through Montpel-
Ter, in shortness, the diminution of the ex-
pense of construction and repair, and the vast
ly greater amount of freight and increase Of
income which it will command. To secure
the object however he urges immediate ac-
ton. The route must be accurately surveyed,
estimates of expense of construction and
probable income be made. Capitalists will
not rely upon guessing. They want well at
tested facts before they will make investments.
Could these be fairly presented, their prefer
ence to the western route will be unquestion-
able. An active survey is now progressing
on the route through Montpelier. The same
must be done here, and when both are accom-
plished, and the results fairly before the pub
lie, we fear no rivalry. The superiority of
the western route will be as clear as an un-
cloded dawn Of day.
The meeting appointed Messrs. Battell,
A. Chapman, R. Wainwright, commit
tee todevise the ways and means of raising
the necessary funds. Each town should con-
tribute if possible, enough to carry the survey
through its limits Let no man in this case
adopt the pennywise and pound foolish poll
cy. Next to protection to domestic industry
is ready and cheap access to that home
market which that protection is calculated to
create. Without rail road, altho within a
short distance from our great eastern mart
we cannot compete with even the fartherest
west. The object must be accomplished, or
with all our boosted agricultural wealth, we
fal behind the poorest States in the union.

tang crowds of our Wing brethren from eve
ry county and town in the State.
ReSolred-That we trust it NAV be our
good fortune to renew on the same spot the
glorious scenes of June 25th 1910, and that
the great wing brotherhood of Vermont will
again meet in council, TO pledge anew upon
the altar of country's welfare, the same patri-
otto enthusiasm which animated us on that
day.
ReSolred-That we hold our right hand of
fellowship TO the wings, not OILY of Vermont
but OF the Union, and promise them hearty
welcome and the best accommodations that
our home will afford.
ReSolced-Tbat these resolutions be sign
ed by the Chairman and Secretary and pub
lished in the Free Press, and that all the
Wing papers of this State be requested to
copy the same.
TIMOTHY FOLLETT, Chairman.
E. A. STANsBERY, Secretary.

Haven, Bristol. Ferrisburgh, Starksboro,
Monkton and Lincoln, who will we reckon,
give evidence indubitable of their attachment
to wing principles, ana in their numbers and
zeal be not outstripped by any Of their neigh
bOrs. But we will not forget to mention
Leicester, Goshen, Ripton, Hancock and
Granville towns, that are Wing to the core,
who we hope will also be on hand the 26th

your pledge to not cease in your efforts to

your object is accomplished, and Loco Foco-
ism buried so deep that resurrection shall
never be granted its hateful form.

PREPOSTEROUS

Third Partyism is the only ally of Polkism
in the State of Vermont The Locos are
chuckling at the probability of the Third
Party so drawing from the Wing strength as
TO give their own ticket plurality. How
rejoiced, yea thrice happy would they be to
yield us up to the blasting influence of free
trade, Annexation, and the domineering in
fuence of Southern slaveocracy. How they
would exult to down with the Tariff, down
with distribution, down with internal i'm
provements, and to help blacken yet more
Gods fair earth with the foul blotch of Sla-
very now and forever And you Wing A5-
OlitiOnists, flor we have nothing to say to ABB
olitionists of any other stamp,) will you lend
them helping hand by Withdrawing your
support of Henry Clay. Should he be de-
feated, as sure as the rising of the morning
sun Texas will be Annexed to this Union.-
You will then have no other alternative but
submission or dissolution. Wing Abolition
ists, can you be made thus to sacrifice the
cause you profess the mostdear to your hearts.
Can you be longer blindfolded, and thus Jriy
en- along BY wild and dangerous leaders over
the precipice of destruction TO your own in
terest,and the interests of your country. And
if this be possible, we call upon you Wigs
to rally one and all TO the rescue. Loco Fo.
coism mustbe repulsed back to the foul haunts
from whence it has issued,or the blackes, pail
that ever mantled this fair heritage of bu-
mainly will be spread over our country.

A MEETING-CLAY'S MORAL
CHARACTER

Upon short notice quite respectable
meeting assembled in our village,at Hutch
nson's hall. Friday evening of last week,
to hear a report of the Baltimore Conven-
ton. One of the Delegates-E. Fair
banks Esq.--being called upon, gave a
very interesting account of the transac>
lions of the Convention, and spoke of the
cheering prospects Of the Wing cause, as
represented by their delegates present
from every section of the country, and of
the man nominated. He remarked 10
the meeting that he saw at Baltimore
neighbors of Henry Clay, and he took es-
pecial pains 10 inquire of them into the
truth of the allegations OF The Locofoco
papers against his moral character and
the universal answer was, that they neith-
er knew of, nor did they hear of any
such allegations in Kentucky-ln his
neighborhood--b on the contrary Mr..
CLAY was known to be man of unexcep>
tionable moral character-and was there
universally esteemed now FOR his virtues
not only by his political but by his Polltl-
cal opponents: that he was not Sabbath
breaker, but regular attendant, with his
family, upon public worship. and they
said that such allegations made there,
tcOuM be looked upon as insulting by all
men. They only hear of such things
from abroad, and look upon them as
the coinings of that most depraved
and detestable Of all wretches, Amos
Kendall, by whom they are sent forth
and retaiIed by men of his party 10

still better, their enterprise seems to be chiefly
directed to publication of those of moral
