TEXAS.

Mr.. Henderson, the Texan Minister, has
arrived at Washington, and the treaty will
doubtless be shortly presented TO the Senate,
but will fail Of the requisite majority. The
attempt will then e made to carry it by an
act of Congress, which would only require a
majority in either branch. But we feel en-
tire confidence that IA majority cannot be Oh
tanned in the Senate. There is good reason
for believing that even Senator Benton will
oppose it. Against this opinion, however,
we have that of a gentleman just returned
from Washington, who is quite strong in the
faith that the annexation project will carry {;

FROZEN TO DEATH.-The body of man
named Lewis Stone, was found on Tuesday
last. on the farm of Mr.. Gales, in Charlotte,

its having remained in the position in which
II was discovered some two weeks or more.
Mr.. Gales while engaged in foddcring, per-
ceived, little distance from him, what he
supposed to be garment, partly covered
with snow. He went near il and on exam
nation, discovered the body, and by the side
of it bag containing pork and bread. Mr..
Stone was resident of Charlotte, and his
family assert that about month previous he
had crossed the Lake for the purpose of hire
ing out as wood-chopper, and since his de-
pariure had not been heard from. 1t is sup
posed that on his return, he lost his way,
and overtaken by the night, being fatigued,
sat down upon rock. (by the side of which
he was found,) became benumhed with cold
and being unable to exert himself further,
persisted. He has left wife and three small

WHAT DO THE WOOL GROWERS
SAY TO IT2

The new Tariff bill reported by Mr.. Nc
Kay, from the Committee Of Ways and
Means, and designed as a peace offering, to
induce the Southern free trade Calhoun Lo-
CO Focos to vote for Van Buren,, proposes
among other things, to sacrifice one of the
most important Of the agricultural interests
the wool growing interest. For the last
year, The locotoco presses of Vermont and
Western New York, have been filled with
the grossest misrepresentation of the Wing
tariff Of 1912. They have pretended tina,
ed, and have endeavored to make the far
mers believe that their interests had been
sacrificed by a Wing Congress. Their charg-
es were false-were shown false, by the ope-
ration Of the tariff itself, the increased de-
mand, and the Augmented value Of our do
mestc wool. Now, what does a locoioco

own party friends in the House. who have
reported REDUCTION OF TWELVE PER CENT
Of the present duties on foreign wool The
present duties are on wool costing Ouer z
cts a pound, 80 per cent, 8 cents a pound.
The new bill leaves off the 3 cents pound,
and places il only at 30 per cent, on the
price paid for it in the country from whence
it is shipped This is not ALI the reduced
duty on wool even to 30 per cent, is a mere
cheat, for there is a clause before you gel
through the bill, stating that all duties which
erceed 25 per cent. are TO be reduced to thai
standard on the first of September, 1915
Consequently, after the next Presidential
election is over, the duty. on wool is to be re-
duccd five per cent more! This outrageous
reduction is made to meet the views OF the
free trade clique of the South to get them to
vote for Van Buren, or in other words, to

MIR. VAN buren, ON THE TARIFF.

The Plebeian, in the course of long
leader on the Tariff, aulhoritatively states
Whatever doubts may have heretofore existed in
certain sections of our country, TO the degree of
protection advocated by Mr.. Van Buren, those doubts
are now happily removed. The Free Trade De-
mocracy ofths South and West nor perfectly sat
isfed that on this dH-impOridnt question, Mr. Van
Buren, is, at least, equally sound icih NJ Calhoun"
Well, the next thing will be to "salisfy"
the Farmers, Mechanics and Artisans of the
North, Middle and West
THE SOUTH.
Senator McDyGe, in letter to Mr.. Ritch-
lie, of the Richmond Enquirer, says, there is
but one motto under which Loco Focoism
can successfully rally, and that is "FREE
"TRADE AND UNCOMPROMISING
"WAR AGAINST THE PROTEC-
"TIVE SYSTEM AND ITS AFFILI-
GATED MEASURES" What says the
| North to this declaration?
The Mobile Register says that "the free
"trade party cannot have safer, sounder,
" or worthier exponent Of their principles
"than Mr.. VAN buren,. Those of them who
" are not satisfied with his Indiana letter,
"would not believe though one rise from the
"dead" The success of Mr. Van Buren, is

this would cover the country with blessings
and benefits Levi Woodbury., in his last
ant-tarlT speech in the United States SEN
ate, which was revised by himself and pub
lished in the Globe, used the following Ian
guage:
"By which means protective dues) the workmen
ARE enabled TO tax the home consumer BY great pri
g." ces, while the higher wages they receive, MAKES
THEM NEITHER HAPPIER HoR RICHER, SINCE THEY
"oNLY DRINK MORE AND WORK LESS"
This outrageous insult TO the workmen of
our country, shows the feeling of Van Bu-
renism rand its contempt for any thing like
honest industry. For many years Levi
Woodbury. has been fed from the public purse
and while at the expense of the Nation, he
drinks expensive foreign wine, and feeds at
the pampered tables of aristocracy, he dares
offer as reason why workman should not
receive higher wages, that he will then drink
more and work less.
And now, to demonstrate the fidelity of
this expositions of of Mr. Van Buren's sem
timents. let US call upon MIR. Van Buren, to
speak for himself. We copy from The Rich
mond Enquirer.

But why is Mr. Van Buren, opposed to this

Woodbury., higher wages makes the la
"borer neither happier nor richer, since he
"only drinks more and ;works less" Accord

men "richer" and Il" happier" would be to
make them work more for less wages, and

CASSIUS NJ. CLAY.

We beg the particular attention of every
Third Party man to the letter in our columns
to-day. This distinguished philanthropist
has recently given an earnest Of the sinceri-
ty of his professions by emancpating his
own slaves, valued at some 10000; and
more recently he has electrified the whole
Union by his SOUL stirring appeal to the Ame-
rican people on the subject of slavery. But
says MI. c. "The question is not, "Can |
find some man to vote for among seventeen
millions, who thinks in all respects as my
sclf?" but, "Who is the man, all things
present and remote considered, that will
most probably be able by success to give cf.
fecluation to those great measures which
deem conducive TO my welfare, and the well
fare of my whole country" This question
every voter in the Republic must determine
for himself For myself, after looking calm
" upon all the surrounding circumstances,
conscience, patriotism, and (if others prefer
the term) enlightened self-interest, consrain
me to vote for Henry Clay. The Tariff,
the Currency, the Lands, Economy, Execu-
tive and Ministerial Responsibility, and ma
ny other interests, all depend in my humble
Judgment, on Mr.. Clay's election for bene-
fetal determination. And if he is elected,
the decision of 1910 passed by the People,
will be confirmed. and the policy of the
country settled. Then, and (such is the an
archy of the public mind) not TIL then, shall
we have time to look about us, and project
that other great reform, the reduction OF
American Slavery to its constitutional limits,
and to concentrate the united condemnation
of the civilized world to its final and utter
extinction"
But read the letter, and pass it round.
