General Hamilton goes bis death for the
annexation of Texas. Why2 Because
he has large sum OF money at stake and
to make his speculation more profitable, the
American People are to submi: to the dis
graceful acts OF John Tyler, & Co.. in re-
laticn to the matter. There are many more
such disinteresied patriots-some on the To-
cofoco electoral ticket in this Staie-but
they have not the candor to say as much as
Gen. Hamilton. He may talk and act as
be pleases in relation to his pecuniary mat
ters but to compel others to see as be sees
is another thing. To threaten US with death
