Polk and Texas Meeting.
For me Freeman .

Mr.. EDIToR:-Notice being duly given out,
last Monday, my friend James of Lyndon, appear
ed in the village school house. He is student of
law, and member of the Democratic Polk party
He came with large bundle of papers and other
documents under his arm, aud stood up and taught
the following doctrines and antagonsms:
|. That the principles entertained by the Presi-
dent would be carried out in his administration.
2. That Gen. Hamilton and John Adams were
she main pillars of federalism.
8. That federalism consists in dividing the peo-
pie into two classes, the gentleman and the labor
er, the ,ueH born and the lou born, the gentleman
to rule, and the laborer to be ruled.
4. That the democrats are better on the tariff
than the wings, because they take the middle
ground, and neither go for free trade nor for the
highest tariff
5. That he could not vote for George Put
nam if he was an abotionist, if he was in fa-
vor of equal rights, if he was in favor Of doing
away the distinction of gentleman and laborer, of
yell born and lo,o born because he is tederalist.
g. That the democrats have always voted for
the highest tariff.
Z. That the present tariff was not passed by the
wings, and that it could not have been got through
ifthe democrats had not come to the rescue.
8. That the democrats are opposed to the pres
enttarif.
Q. That the present tariff gives you some pro-
lection on wool, but not on your grain and beef
&C.
10. That the increased value of wool is owing to
the blocking up of certain river which prevented
the importation of wool.
II. That it cannot be expected that tariff viii
raise the value of provisions because there is nj
importation. Neither grain cattle were imported
But Mr.. Editor, | will not trouble you mucI
longer with these antagonistic sentiments. | onl,
wish to give you some of his crafty sentiments OF
the annexnton of Texas.
He said we were morally bound to receive Tex
as on account of certain treaty, made a numbe
of years ago, in which we agreed to protect tina
country. This is new idea, certainly.
He read southern authority to prove that the an
nexation of Texas will emancipate the slaves il
the southern States; they will all run to Texas
and work down into Mexico and through Gauti
mala, and finally pass the Isthmus Of Darien, whe
they will become free spontaneously. That is tn
climax.
Before he closed, he said that there was no dill
ference between Clay and Polk on annexation an
the tariff. Yet, he said his controversy was nc
with the Liberty party, but with his wing friends
lworder what he is contendmg for? 1t is strang
that men will strain at a gnat and swallow can
81; but thsy will.

1t would be curious to see two dogs fighting
over bone that has no meat on it, when there was
an unpicked bone laying near. But it is nothing
strange that unprincipled men should try to make
crisis, when there is hope that they may avail
themselves of John Randolph's seven principles
'the five loaves and two fishes
And tbs strange that honest and intelligent'meu
should be so duped OH this subject. little more
on Texas. After having. proved that annexation
would tend to emancipate the slaves, he said he
did not think it would be annexed because the
north were opposed to slavery, and they would
not suffer it, for they had majority in Congress
Yet his own opinion was that it should be annex
ed
The gentlemap said that the wings proved thoi,
doctrine, by the logic the man used to prove that
cat has three tails. His logic must be full as lib
eral, for it would be quite as difficult to prove thai
cat has three tails, and at the same time, no tail
as to prove three tails only.
After the gentleman was through there was nc
time to follow him, but Mr.. Renfrew, an able
man of the Liberty party, being called upon, arose
and spoke four or five minutes with tones of sucE
soemnity, that the house was filled with awe
soemnity sat upon every countenance, and wher
he told them that one day they would have to give
an account for the vote they were about to give, s
then it would be matter of no small moment tt
them, whether they remembered the poor or not
In that short time he destroyed all the gentleman
had been laboring to build up. w. D.

Our readers know that James X Polk is slave

count of these two things that he was nominated

this comparatively obscure STAKEHOLDER has quail

'Mr. Spencer;-Wil you have the goodness to

AN ABOLITIONIST.
s'Just as we reached the Duck river in the early
grey of the morning, we came up with singular
spectacle. the most striking one of the kind have
ever Witnessed. 1t was camp of negro slave

vouacked the preceding night IN chains in thu
woods; these they were conducting to Natchez OF
the Mississippi river, to work upon the sugar plan

that they had a caravan of nine Wagons and sin

the white people, and any of the blacks that shou

e. PROSPECTUS
OF THE
YPSiLANTI SENTINEL.

IN something Inc patronage OF the puohc lot
the proposed publication, it is due to that pub
nc 10 give an outline Of the views and primers
plss by which we shall be governed, and this
duty we proceed to discharge. While We
shall endeavor to make our sheet the channel
Tor communicating to our readers, the Iniell-
gence usually given in public journal. its
character will be essentially political; and &C
cording TO the original sense of the term, as
applicable to this governments; strictly demo
cratic. We have lived sufficiently long, how
ever. 10 learn. that names are but 100 often
illusory and deceptive, and that the arts OF
impOstors are seldom put in practice, except
under cover of some specions and imposing
appelaion. We shall not therefore rest our
CLAIMS upon name, but invite Inc severest
scrutiny of our readers TO the fidelity with
which our professions as AL editor are MAIN
tanned and practised.
AS the only legitimate object of repubi-
can or democratic government is the equal
protection of the rights, and promotion of the
welfare and happiness of all it follows as an
irresistible conclusion, that that admlnistra-
ton. or system of measures which is most
conducive TO these ends, is best entitled TO the
appellalion of democratic And as the only
true test, of the merit Of measures or admins
trations. is 10 be found in the effects produced
ON the interests and moral character of soci-
ely, tits by this standard alone that we snail
aim 10 be governed in passing judgment upon
them.
We believe the doctrines or rather the dog
mas of party as iGculcaled by the leaders
that school laying exclusive claims to democ-
racy, to be the most dangerous, because the
most insiduous enemy tn the interests and in
situations of the country--that il demands OF
is vntaries passive obedience to the order of
leaders. regardless of the claims of patriotism,
of county, or the constitution. Our endeav-
or shall therefore be, to expose and counteract
the dangerous and onslaving tendency of this
doctrine, and enforce as far as in our power
lies the higher obligations OF duty to ourselves
and TO our country, believing that where the
requirements of party are thus urged by its
leaders, the proceeding carries on its face the
mos; conclusive evidence. that it is their own
interests and not those of the country they are
laboring to promote.
We believe that the wealth, happiness and
independence of our country, depend on the
encouragement and protection of the labor and
industry of our own citizens. and I lie cultiva-
tiOn of our own resources in all practicable
cases for the supply of our wants. in prefer
ence to reliance upon precarious supply,
to be drawn from abroad, subject TO the cap>
rice of the world and the contingencies of for
egn commerce.
To this outline of our views we shall scru
pulousy adhere, and with this declaration, Oh
fer odr sheet TO the public and solicit its pat
ronage. JOHN VAN FOSSEN.
