The Texas Question.
TIE Wayae Sentinel says:


IF Mr. Bentons plan for Annexation is adopted. land tiS
plan the only ,uppUrtel by The Democratic lrp,l
condition tnat but slave State be
erected from Texas that Slavery be p1hbed IN the rest
Of that Territory, us Is admitted nto ths Union n states
Here, will be seen, special prohibition against Slavery
other than State while there will then be enough oi the
Territory ett to make four States which must o. course
be free States.
Not only is this utterly untrue but its refuta-
ton stands boldly out on the face OF our Country
history. How comes it that James X. Polk is
now running for President and not MARTIN VAN
BUREN7 Ii Benton's plan had been satisfactory
to the Annexatonisls, Van Buren, would have
been their candidate. But no-they would have
an immediate, unconditional Annexationist, and
for that reason discarded Van Buren,. And il
now Annexation were acccded 10 on the teims
above recited, the Annexationsts would most des-
perately oppose it. The Sentinel is cheating.

sustain ;,s charge that Mr.. Clay, in voting ior Mr'
Adams, apo.tatizsd from the Democratic p1.'y'
nor care ii give ut,erance to the ihcohHoEsi''ois
;,.,. hv uh;cb we have disproved It. Afl the
..od;d.,es for President in 1924 were recognized
.od bo,o,ed members Of the old Republican par
tv.: aud The only one who had proposed to break
jorn the old party lines and appoint Federailsts
r. tho biohest stations was ANDREW JACKSON
On this Ground the Pennsy lyania and New.Jtr
sev Federal,sts headed by James Buchanan,
Gsr,;t D. Wal, Peter D. Vrooul, &c. went IN for
him almost en- ncSse. WM. II. CRAWFORD, who
was the regular Democratic Caucus candidate,
was a most strenuous National Bank man; had
voted 10 rechartcr the old Bank in 1911 and aided
~ create the second Bank in l5l6. His last pub
lie letter was an able argument for the constiiu-
tionslity and necessity OF such an institution.
But the Eagle now objects that Mr.. Clay voted
ior minority candidste-for Mr.. Adams, who
had but S4 votes while Gen. Jackson had 90, OF
about third OF the whole number Bet ii this
be an objection to Mr.. Clay, with how much
greater force does it apply 10 the Van Burcn PAL
ty in Congress, who voted for FIN. II. Crapfcrd,
,rdo had not half SO many rotes as Mr.. Adams !
Certainly il il were wrong to vote in the House
for candidate who had 81 Electoral Votes, Ii
was much more culpablc to vote for one who had
but Al! Yet so voted all the Van Buren men
from this State and from other States-so voted
VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA and GEORGIA, then
represented by the pure Jefersonian Democracy
Will the Eagle explain?

IL We thank the Newark Post for copying
ou. extract from Mr.. Buchanans Speech. We
like to have it kept before the People. Those
who are determined not to see that MIR. Buchanan
Is trying to enlist the master manufacturers in
favor OF the Sub-TFeasury, Hard, Money policy
BY convincing them tina! under that policy they
could procure their Labor, Wool, sc. for One-hGtf
tho present cost, and 50 urdersell their Foreign
r;vss in the fabric, will not of course; but the
great majority will and do ste it, especially ii
they have read John Davis's reply.
We have rot a doubt that the Post errs in the
words it puts into Mr.. Van Wagne.s mouth as
attributed by him to Mr.. Buchanan. Itis safe
rule that q man better knows what he says than
his opponents do who casually hear him address
a crowd in the open air, and who hear only to
cavil.

D Whether there is any need OF copying and
refutng such stuff as the ABOVE, our readers must
Judge yet ii is on just snch that Loco Focoism
exists. Ii its organs were compelled TO talk SEN
sibIy and honestly, they would have little to say.
The Sentinel wishes It's readers to bear in mlnd
that under the present unequal Tar6, a Manu-
featuring Company possessing large capital
may make good dividends on their stock; while
Company of moderate means make little or
nothing" Under this Tariff Was there erer
a Tariff or no Tariff under which abundant cash
capital could not do better than TO cash. or half
enough? This Mcrrimac Company has been IN
operation some five. and-twenty years. under all
sorts of Tariffs, and has generally done good
business, while Companies with Insufficient capi-
tai and less judicious management (icf success
requires brains as well as money! have failed
from year to year all around it, under high Ia
riffs and low Tariffs. And yet the Sentinel
would have its readers believe that it is thS Ia
uif, or a Protective Tariff somehow, which en-
abes the Merrimac Company to do better with
cash capital of Two Millions, than if it had little
or no capital. Why if there were no Tariff at eli
these Two Millions of Dollars would have pre-
cisely the same advantage over small capital
or none that they now have, whether their own
ers should find it profitable to make cloths or inf
port then, with the money. Can it be possible
that such slang as this of the Sentinel has any
effect on the public mind

record SO we jot hem down

MS old Political associates from disgust at their
aTocious yet often pal;ry personal attacks on Mr..
Clay He remarked that nc had lived some years in
Louisville, Ky. and had often seen Mr.. Clay
there, ana he knew that both p-rties held him
IN the highest respect, not only as great States
man but as a man Of exalted personal worth. Az
incident recalled 10 his mind was as follows:
While nc lived in Louisville, in 1886 or I, The
Ohio being very high, dst- boa, loaded with coal
hroke loose irum It's Iloorings above and was pre-
ciuita,ed over the Falls. The men on board
saved their lives, and that was all. a crowd was
attracted to the wharf, and among them was
Henry Clsy, then stopping at the Gait House.
He instantly asked, Have yoa not lost every
thing Will you not need aid ~ Tney answered
tha, they were nearly destitute, having but few
dollars in their pockets and being far frou friends
Well" said Mr.. Clay" Here is $50 TO begin
with: Others will doubtless contribute" The.

raised on the spot, and they went .helf way WITH

than these which oppose the success Of their

They have every prospect of success and mean
