question is then, assuming that we can in
Justice annex Texas to this Union-whether
we shall throw the strength of our Union

-or, acting On the principle that fieedom

freedom, religion nor morality can obtain a
footing. This slang with regard to the char
acter of the population of Texas, is unwor-
thy of a respectable mind, and respectable
mind rarely INDUCES in it. Scarcely an
English paper, but contains precisely similar
illusions to the people Of this nation. and
perhaps with equal justice. If Texas has
an immoral people, there are good reasons
for it. The present unstable and insecure
State of her government makes it field Cor
adventures and demagogues. The strength
and protection of our laws would effect a
change very soon, and we find here one OF
the strong arguments in favor of annexation
But We have not time opursre the subject

Very respectfully, Sir,

u 1t is the laborlng cllsscs in England
who are moving to effect an abolition of the
high tariffs which now Cypress them. 1t is
not the wealthy landlord nor the wealthy
manufacturer The same here. The most
active agents in establishing our present Ia
riff, were the manufacturers of the New
England States. Did they procure its es-
Enlistment for their own benefit or that OF
the laboring classes? They succeeded in
getting high rate of duties imposed on for
eign goods--they at at once run up their
own goods to TINT standard. They sold
their goods at home--lnd pocketcd the
surplus. Who paid it? As an instance OF
how the thing worked, a duty was imposed
on foreign sugars. Houses in New York
which had large quantities of sugars on hand,
immediately put on to the price the amount
of the duties, and thus cleared thousands.
Who paid it? Who is now payingit? How
many mouths has it made to consume oui
home products and make a home marketl
When the sugar, the cotton, iron and wool.
en- manufacturers are becoming bloatcd with
the wealth, gradually drawn from the peck
cts Of the masses; and the masses beg TO
feel their sinking and dependent condition.,
who will then petition for repeal Of The Ia
riff? We are told that a tariff has difle-
rent effect here from what it has in Englard
We shall find however, that the strife will
be precisely as it is in E1gimJ. The
wealthy capitalist on oac side. with his never
to-be-satiatcd avarce, and the starving la
borer on the other, struggling for subs;st-
ance for himself and those dear 10 him. Ii
is pitiable SIGHT, where benevolent Crea-
tor has distributed his gifts of light and air,
of dew and rain, and pleasant skies upon all,
and for all, that in the products of the earth
there should be such an unequal djStribu-
ton. Here the granery filled TO bursting
with the grains of the earth, and there the
poor man striving in vain for food for a
suffering family. Here the poor wretch
sblyering for want of clothes and there in
that place, raiment enough lying useless
and idle TO make comfortable a regiment.
Souls 90 down to perditon, the victims of
crime resulting tiom want; and here again,
thousands are expended, TO teach some idiot
an accomplishment for which nature never
designed it. The Queen of England
clothes herself in wealth enough TO enrich a
host--gCes before parliament and talks with
seriousness, of the prosperity of the nation.
Is such state of things always TO continue?
Is this iron hearted avarice always TO be the
influencing trait Of the mind? There is a
fearful revolution preparing in the old coun-
tries. These partial and wicked laws which
build up one class, and crush the fe and
soul of another, will be swept from the land
by humanity rising and asserting ITSELF
The tarifites may secure temporary as
tendency here, but the mass are too enlight-
ened, and their laws are too Immediately in
their control, to allow that influence to be
more than temporary.
