government as it now exists, With all It's present
and advancing attributes Of greatness and power
argument of mine could convince thCm to Tho
contrary nevertheless, | think you will all concur
with me, in saying to those that reunion TO the
government of The United States faulty and i'm
perfect as they may represent it, is far preferable
to the risk and almost certain exercise Of British
domination.
Every voter should look weff and be guarded
how he casts his sulfrages for persons whose
names are at present before the nation, and the
counties of their residence for Executive and
Legislative preferments, Those gratifed at The
failure ofthe Treaty Of Annexation are embol-
dcned in their opposition TO it, since its rejection
by the Wig Senate. Without detailing the
patriotic and earnest manifestations of large ma
jorilies of the people. ofaImost all the States of
the United States far as can be inferred by the
resolutions of public meetings, and petitions to
Congress favorable to the annexation of Texas
showing that the influence of Mr.. Clay alone has
for the present defeated its ratification by the SEN
ate-they depict US as rejected and insulted sup
plants, wanting in national pride and respect &c.
sc. &c. Now ought we to become offended with
the government and people of the United States,
for the partizan influence of one man, when it is
believed that in six months, that power and con-
troll which is said has thus recently been so much
misguided and which, it is believed will defeat
his election for the highest office in the world,
will no longer exst2 The large majority of the
people in the several States, who have been mis-.
represented by Senators in their not voting for a.
ratification of the treaty, will require them to con-
form to their wishes or cause them to be placed
by instructions in such positions, as morally force
them TO resign their seats, and give place to 9th
ers who will truly represent their-wishes. Let
these opponents of annexation wait until after thel
election in the United States for President and
Vice President in November next, before they
assert thata majority of The people of that country
are opposed to annexation. Hear what the citi-
zens 1t Beaufort South Carolina, in a primary
assembly on the Goth Of May last profess to be
willing to do.
Resolved, That if the Senate of the United
States, under the drill of party leaders, should re-
ject the Treaty of Annexation appeal to the
citizens of Texas, and urge them not to yield to
Just resentment and turn their eyes to other alli-
lnces, but to believe that they have the advocacy
Of large portion of the American public, who
ire resolved that sooner or later The pledge in the
reaty of 1880 shall be redeemed and Texas be
into our Union. But if on the other
'and we not permitted to bring Texas into our J
Union peacefully and legitimatefy, as now we
nay then we so4emnly announce to the world,
hat we will dissolve this Union sooner thaa aban-

It is said from the most recent information from
Washington city, that there are from the northern
states at the ratio of SIX petitions forwarded and
resented to Congress for annexaionto to one against
Does this manifest contempt or disregard on :
ne part of the people of the United States2 Mol 4
ne citizens OF that country are for the annexation y
far as petition will enable US to infer In pro- :
ortion Of SIC to one.
Should Mr.. Clay be elected then as dsap- e
onted advocate of annexation [ shall be ready 10
adopt such other course as will best tend to the
rosperTty and aggrandizement of Texas, as an
dependent power, but under no circumstances
IN acquiesce in the abolition of slavery. And
all hazards shall, to the last, resist the mer-
mary Vaccinations Of the British through Mexi- T
}, or in any other manner whatever against sla-
Fry in Texas-whch is almost EQUALLY in op- +
'siton to the same institution in the United +
ates.
Those whose feelings of real philantrhrophv, c
I'd fanatlclsm induce them to advocate the a5oli- ri
