ty" And while it is seen by this infamous exhibit
OF THIS sa'ebreeding State, that about fire years had
elapsed since any conpction Of whe female had taken
place In that vile State, upon inspection of the
crlmei and convictions in our white negro island Of
Great Britain il will be found that during this space
of time there were more convicts male and female
in one single week throughout the islands of Great
Britain than be shown for century in this do
nestle negro slavery State.
But fellow-ciizens, this view Of the assertion of
Great Britain, as to her duty duly to interfere in
social relations, not mOnstrous what the de
mon oil party spirit shows abroad in our lard -
1t is plain that Texas pa IT of the purchase
Of Louisiana, and not of Mexico. This part Of our
seems 10 be proven, by base suppression of docu-
ments, withheld by John q. Adams when Secretary
of ate. II while this same John q. Adams
was in the Department Of State that mul'ated copy
OF the Journals and proceedings Of the Federal Con-
venion issued from that Depal tment. II was this
same A., who, fading himself in he line Of safe
presidents of Executive succession, placed the RICH,
Honorable Harry Of the West in this same safe line.
Soiar God be Praised very safe for either )and
now We see these two worthy compeers, and the
Northern man with Southern principles uniting, all
three of them, with the Webseriao disciple of the
Jeersonan school, TO aid Great Britain in her e1er-
tons to procure the abolition of slavery in Texas:
and by this strange combination giving the Govern
ment Of Great Britain time duly to exert her proper
suhoriiy to prevent the admission Of Texas into the
United States.
Let us bless the Hero and Veto sage of the Her
mitage, who tells that this is the golden moment
to make the purchase Of Texas Let us hope
and trust with him, that there riH be as many pa
irIots in the Senate nsu raiity tie treaty"
which have no doubt will be promptly entered into.
The honor and safety Of the United States will at
leas, be safe, il follow the advice Of old Veto
Jackson, as it will be under the Quartunvrate of
Adams and Clay, Of the ilusrious disciple Of old Veto
and Of the goJike Daniel.
Look ye we'll to this state of things, my fellow
citizens. This singular Coalition with Great Britain
at this lime, deserves will assuredly receive
your serious consideration Ask yourselves what
the members oflhs coalition have done for the honor
and quiet, and SAFETY of this nation Ask yourselves
If there be- not one man upon whom the People can
rally and riH raiiy-a cifhom party, who has
done for the Republican cause by his early
constant uniform, and honorable adherence 10 the
Constitution and To bis oath than this immac ula,e
Quauumvirate, a hundred times told.
Look at ihis-ponder well This strange and curious
combination, at has time.
