THE APPROACHING FESTIVAL.

We direct the attention Of our readers TO the
proceedings of the Wing meeting held at the Club

1914, will be bright and glorious day ir the an
malls of .old Berkeley'." history. Most extensive
preparations are making to sccsmodate the large
crowd which on that day will shrons tho streets OF
our town. The Committee Of Invitation have al
ready received answers from number Of very able
and eloquent Speakers, and We may with safety
promise to the people rich repast Of eloquence
and argument.
A. II. II. Stuart, OF Stanton, George Rich
aidson, Of Baltimore the eloquen, John S Pendle-
ton, who was here in 1910, and many other di,tin
euishsd Speakers will doubtless be here. The
procession will be very imposing, and illustrative
OF the great cause in which we are all engaged.
"Old Berkeley expects her Wing sons to do
their duty on that day. Come one come all--come
from the valleys-come from the mouniains-
leave your workshops, your ploughs, your stores
and your places Of business, and "gtve one day TO

To the Editor Of the Gdzstts

DEAR SIR-There appears to have
been some misrepresentation with regard
to a remark made by me in speech al
MIll-Creek. | am charged with having
applied the offensive epithet Of Bastard :
TO Mr.. Polk. / used the word without
any r9ferance to Mr.. Folks birth or par
entage--I applied the term to him as the
"illegitmate offspring OF the Baltimore
Convention" said che was stamped
with Bastardy on his entrance into poll,i-
cal noteriety."
Mr.. Polk has no one opposed to him
in political opinion who would more cor.
daily scorn the use of any such oppro.
brious epithets sgains. his private charac-
ter or origin. He has errors in his pc
litical composition Of such prominence
that they ought completely to conceal
any obliquity in his private relations
of life. As to the term stated TO have
been applied by me to his mother, it
is totally without foundation. No such
word was used, no illusions were made
to his parentage. | can hardly UNDER
stand how am charged with SO gross a
violation of propriety, unless it was an
perversion perhaps for political
effect. / am your obt. svt.,

THE FRAUD EXPOSED.

Below we present to our readers an extract from
a speech delivered by Senator Benton a few weeks
since, at Boonvile, Missouri. in which he exposes
mos, effectively the disgraeetui fraud which the
advocstes for the immediate annexation Of Texas
have been, and are still attempting to practice up
on the People of this Country. Our readers will
all remember the SECRECY with which the negotia-
zion for the annexation of Texas was carried on by
Mr. Tyler and his Cabinet and the representations
which they made to the People afterwards in the
Treaty and accompanying papers, in relation to the
debt Of Texas, and her ability TO discharge those
debts from the sale of her public lands. The debt
ss Texas was stated be ten millions Of dollars,
bu, ii has been shown tina, her debt is more likely
10 De fly millions Of Goliars-and in addition to
this amount, we must certainly become involved in
a disgraceful aud unrighteous war which would
cost this Government an immense amount Of mo-
ns, The debt then which the United States would
become involved in, would amount TO an incubus
upon the Country under which people would
eroan for many years to come. Col. Benton shows
most conclusively that @e must pay this immense
debt. as there is not as Of land in Tezas NOT
already granted aCay.
Are the voters ef Berkeley prepared TO sanction
with their votes The immediate annexation Of
Texas" to this Union with such facts before thorn
We are fully persuaded that they will not. Let
chem remember then that both Mr. Polk and MIR
Dallas have written letters approving of tho 8 I'm
mediate annexation of Texas, and the principles
aud views of the late Treaty" Let all remember
that Mr.. Tyler, finding himself weaker then Mr.
Polk, has withdrawn from the canvass and gone
over with his whole army Of office holders TO his
support upon the avowed ground that MIR. Polk
will carry forward the measures fos the " immedi-
ate annexation of Texas." lie, all remember that
the Baltimore Convention adopted it as tAs prinei-
pal tenet Of iAsir faith. Let all remember that
the Southern wing OF the Polk army are for Ter
as or Disunion," and that they have the spirit, if
not the a6ilay, to carry it out.
But we will offer no other comments than again
to recommend Col. Ben,on's views to our readers
and ssy-hearken unto him, ye enqairers after
trIth-and ys Aatsrs of fraud, listen to aim. He
says:-
"The Presidents message, communca-
ting the treaty to the Senate, was as un.
true in relation 10 the granted, and to the
vacant lands in Texas, as it was in every
particular. Instead OF two hundred mil.
lions Of acres, there were only eighty-four
millions of acres in Texas proper; the
rest was the one-half in Tamaulipas, Goa.
hula, Chihuahua, and New Mexico, and
had been granted away centuries ago !;
and the other half in the wild country of

BRITISH GOLDi-AND THE AME-
RICAN TARIFF.

The London Times-a paper quoted
the other day by the Richmond Enquirer
as excellent authority 10 damn Mr.. Clay,
has the following paragraph:
"a subscription was recently opened
to raise funds to circulate Free Trade
tracts in foreign countries. About four
hundred and forty thousand pounds were
subscribed. Some oS these tracts are to
be printed in New York, for circulation
in the United Siates.''
This throws some light certainly upon
the movements which the British people
are taken to effect the repeal OF the Ame-
rican Tariff, by securing the election Of
Polk. This Tory organ-the accredited
authority Of the Enquirer-admits that
four hundred and forty Thousand pounds
-nearTWO MILLIONS of DOLLARS,
have been subscribed in England 1t is
scarcely probable that the whole of this
immense sum will be used in s'printing
tracts" But in whatever form it is to
be used, is matter Of no consequence.
The great and startling matter is the sys-
temstic employment Of BRITISH GOLD
in aid of the Free Trade Party in this
Country, to destroy our Tariff, deprive
our own industry OF protection, and open
our ports to the productions of English
Paupers. This is the matter Of appalling
consequence. If it succeeds, our indie.
pendence as Nation censes-our legis.
Iation will be shaped by British Gold-a
tbraldom far worse than that which pre-
ceded the Revolution will be Iivetted up
on us.-Rich. Wing.
