Many of tho people u tho South ap
.aboflug under lba dojusion that the de
.mocrnl.c party alone, have went for their
Interests ia this matter
10 durcI this dcIu'Ioo and to provo to
them that the leaders Of the democratic
party advocate the annexation Of Texas
on the ground that il will ENSURE
THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, We
this wool, publish extracts from the letters
.of Robert ], Walker, Charles ]. IugarsoIl,
and William wilkins, three prominent
leaders oil the democratic party. From
these extracts it will be seen that the
MAIN REASON that induced them to sup.
port the measure was, that it woui d super.
induce the abolition Of slareryi
The people OF this state are certainly
under the highest obligations to Senator
Walker for his unweared efforts to re.
duce them to a condition worse than col.
IoniaI yassaIage, to the Northern aboIi-
|tionists, Tor such would be the effect Of
the recession Of slavery from The nor
thern sIayohoIding states, which he says
would certainly take place if Texas were
annexed
The people of the South are well con-
WINGED of what the aboIitonists would do,
provided they possessed the po1oer. Messrs
Walker, Wilkins and Ingerso'I, propose
to GIVE THEM THAI POWER
Mr.. Walker says that the annexation
of Texas would cause slavery to 'rapdjy|
recede' from the more northern sIayehoId, /
ing states. No doubt of that! Bu! what
will be the CONDITION of the inhabitants
OF the extreme Southern States, when
Senator Walker and the Democratic par
ty shall have succeeded in abolishing sIa-
very in Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, /
Kentucky and North Carolina? Are we
lot now already sufficiently insulted,
rodden down and abused by the aboIi-
ionpsts Of the North? Is there any good
eason for rendering ourselves utterly ,
'owerless? of being compelled to bow in
louIul submission to the behests Of abo-
itjon fanatics? of relying solely for pro.
ecton on their tender mercies?
These are momentous questions inyo-
ing the future fate Of The South, for
veal or for woe We beseech our read.
,rs to read carefully and ponder deeply
lpon the extracts which we submit to
hem to prove the truth Of our asserlions: |,
Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER says:
again, then, the question is asked, is slavery
aeUer to disappear from the Union This is a
startling and momcntous question; but tho an
sWer is easy, and the proof is clear; 1T WILL
DISAPPEAR IF TEXAS Is /
TO THE UNION; not by aboli-
ton, but, against and IN spite of all its phrenzy
slowly and gradually, by diffusion, as it has al.
ready thus nearly 2'ecedcd f ON ScUeraL of tie
mare northern Of The SiaUeh0diigg Suites, and
as it viii continue thus more rapidly 10 re-
ccde By the REMUNERATION of Texas, and finally,
in the distant future, without a shock, without
abolition, without CONFUSION, disappear into
and through Texas, into Mexico and Central
and Southern America. Thus that same over
ruling Providence that watched over the landing
Of the emigrants and pilgrims al, Jamestown and
plymouth; that gave US the victory in our strug-
gle for independence; that guided by his inspira.
ton the trainers of our wonderful Constitutions
that has thus far preserved this great Union from
dangers so many and imminent, and is now
shielding it from abolition, its most dangerous
ndinterna foe--will open Texas a safety-yalvc,
into and through 1ohica SlaDcry ,cU SlGjely and
gfdd'ady reccde, and finally disappear into the
boundIcss regions of Mexico and Central and
Southern America"
Hon. WILLIAM WILKINS, one of the
main pillars Of the Democratic party
in Penn sylvania, uses the following Ian
guoge 10 induce the people of that state
to favor annexation, He boldly avows
The abolition Of s7aUery to be the prnci-
pal reason that induces him to support Il
the measure! Is not this fact of startling
importance to the people of the SOUTH
