The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1844-08-09

The population of Texas proper is estimated at
two hundred thousand persons. vast majority of
whom were once citizens of the United States.
Seldom has the character Of people been more
traduced than that of the citizens OF Texas. 1t is
not uncommon, particularly in the North, to hear
them pronounced ''reckless desperadoes "-'srefu-
gees from JUSTICE" and "conteinptible adyen-
turers." Because score or more Of cut throats
and swindlers have fled from merited punishment.
and found hiding place in Texas, it is gratuitous-
ly concluded that the whole country is composed
of similar material. Those patterns Of good breed
ing, the British, frequently style our own beloved
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1844-08-09
BY THOMAS J. MORGAN

In attempting to give summary history Of Tex
as, and to comment upon the question of annexing
that republic to the United States, the writer oi
this sketch is by no means unmindful that several
distinguished statesmen have already explored the
same field. The only one, however, who has
undertaken a thorough Investigation of the sub
iect, Is the Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER, at present
Senator from Mississippi, and formerly citizen
of Pennsylvania. This gentleman, with that abil-
ity for which he is eminently distinguished, has
discussed it with the enlarged views of the philan-
thropist, and the keen perception of the political
economist.
After so much has been already written, it might
seem impracticable to add any thing new upon the
subject. There is one aspect of the case, however,
not yet noticed No connected description of
Texas, of her geography, her climate, her soil,
her government and her population has yet been
presented to the public, in the same treatise in
which the annexation question has been consider
ed This view of the matter is essential to the Just
appreciation of the territory under discussion. 1t
is proposed, therefore, briefly to notice these points,
and to introduce such facts and arguments upon
the remaining heads, as may have escaped the
attention of Others, besides arranging, in method-
cal order, the substance of what has been already
published.

He urged that this complication of the affairs of

From these proceedings the people can form

the wings are striving to fasten upon the country.

pie the line ofpolicy which may best serve their
avaricious and ambitious purposes.

men, and farmers and mechanics and all who wish

Starting with these general views, from precise.
| ly the same point. the course of Mr. Clay and Gov
Polk the subject in Congress, as stated by both
run parallel. Mr. Clay in this Bronson letter
condemns what he calls the "high tariff OF '2s in
strong terms. Gov. Polk says he voted against it.
Mr.. Clay adverts with evident satisfaction to his
efforts to carry the tariffs of 80 and '33 he com.
the duties of the act of '2S Gov. Polk voted for
both these bills In word, Nj. Clay lays great
stress in the Bronson letter on the fact that after
his return from Congress in 1881, he labored to
reduce and modify the "high tariff of 1928; and
when he comes to speak of the present tariff, the
plain import of his language is that he approves of
SIN The nain." for the reason thar "gsneraHy
the duties which it imposes are lower than those
in the act of 32"-that is come nearer to the COM
PROMISE ACT than the act of '32. His subse-
quent remark intimatng that there may be erces-
ses and defects in the present tariff, and thatJ so,
they ought to be corrected can only be understood
as meaning that it may require to be made more
coJorndJle to the "spirH of the compromise act,
which he has heretofore held should be sscarried
out"
Butbe this as it may, the fraud which we have
endeavored to expose, is clear as the motive is
transparent. The wings dare not present their
great leal.f in the position in which he has placed
himself, by his public and his recent avowls
of opinion on the Tariff. They know that he and
Gov. POLK occupy the same ground on this sub
ect-and all their efforts to conceal the fact, By
garbing and ialsifyng language, will only serve to
fasten it more firmly in the minds of those upon
whom it designed to operate--and increase dis
trust Of the cause and the partizans, whose chief
reliance is thus shown to be fraud and imposition.
