Dor in each county-call up general attention to
the subject produce more powerful interest in the
hearts of liberty man, and redeem the State from
the fangs of slavery. say again, if one county
can adopt and work this system which has sue
ceeded SO admirably well, why cannot all? To
produce general interest in case so important
as ours, you must get all its friends to do little.
That which costs man nothing he values but
little. Get men TO pay and you will make them
feel; and when men feel, they will act. say to
our State committee, to our county committees,
and to our town committees especially, urge this
plan, bring it forward in all your county meetings,
and take up your subscription paper at once and
go round your towns and ask each man for his
fifty cents, and then get your aborers and let them
lecture circulate tracts get subscribers to the pa
per, and things will soon wear a new face. In the
general, all that is wanted is information; and that
is more wanted than we are aware. Let us betake
to our work like men Of business, and the signs
and tears, to groans, the bloody wounds, the cruel
injustice of our fellow-men in chains will soon
cease to stand forth against us, calling down the
vengeance ofhcaven on our guilty heads.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Bible informs lis that men
have apostatized from God, and have entered in
to the service of the wicked one. And perhaps
there is no case in which the fact appears more
striking, than in the conduct Of many professed
Christians. They will pray that God will give
us good men to rule over US, and then vote for
men who have no fear of God before their eyes
They will labor to promote temperance, and then
help to raise winebbber to rule over the nation
perance amongst all that approach his person.
They will hang poor man who killed his neigh
bor and give the highest honors to one, that's al
ways ready to kill his neighbor in duel, and has
again and again tried to do it. They are as much
opposed to slavery as any body, and are as Jealous
as any fanatics to have Shareholder elected to the
presidential chair, when he can exert vast nfu-
ence to extend and strengthen slavery. What
does all this mean? Infdels look on, see how
christians act, say they all hypocrits, and their
religion is all pristcraf. How they help so
thinking, when they see christians, even christian
ministers, as eager to choose wicked man, who
has no fear of God before his eyes, as other men,
who turn their backs upon God, and cast his laws
behind them? Is it strange, that inquty, riots,
murders, assassinotions, and vice in every form,
is coming in like food, when the church throws
in her influence to place the highest honors upon
ungodIy men, who live upon the hire of the labor
er sell girl for harlot, and shed the blood oftbe
innocent Christians for mere party political pur-
poses, willing to choose wicked men, whom God
abhorrs, when they might choose men of God tc
rule over them Surely this is choosing the great.
er of two evils; or rather it is doing evil that gooc
may come, whose damnation is just. Will those
christians in Vermont who mean to sti1e con
science, and do what they have heretofore called
little evil, that some supposed, but uncertain
good, may come ,ponder well what the apostle says
"Whose damnation is justn' Take this awful
declaration, ye professors of the religion of Jesus
and carry it with you, when you go to deposi
your votes for stakeholder, a duelist,a Free Ma
son, and if you dare, put it in but remember tina
your damnation will be just b.

been dismembered from it. The government and
people of Texas, it is understood, not only give
their consent, but anxious to be reunited to
the United States. If the application of Texas
for reunion and admission into our confedera-
cy, shall be rejected by the United States, there is
imminent danger that she will become a depen-
dency, ifnot colony of Great Brtain-an event
which no American patriot, anxious for the safety
of his country, could permit to occur without the
most strenuous resistance. Let Texas be reunit-
ed, and the authority and laws of the United
States he established within her limits, as also in
the Oregon territory, and let the fixed policy Of
the government be, not to permit Great Britain
or any other foreign power to plant colony OF
hold dominion over any portion of the people OF
territory of either. These are my opinions, anc
without deeming it necessary to extend this letter
by the many various reasons which influenced mt
in the conclusions to which come, regret to b.
compelled TO differ so widely from the views ex
pressed by yourselves, and the meeting at Cincin
natl whom you represent. Differing, however
with you and with them, as do, it was due Il
your frankness that | should be thus explicit ii
the declaration of my opinions.

The Presidential Candidates ON
the Texas Question.
James K. Polk,
COLUMBIA, Tenn, April 2Sd, 1914


Gentlemen:-You letter of the S0th ultimo,
which you have done me the honor to address to
me, reached my residence during my absence from
home, and was not received until yesterday. Ac-
companying your letter, you transmit to me as
you state, /" a copy of the proceedings of meet
ing of the citizens of Cincinnati, appointed with
out distinction of party, on the 29th inst, to ex-
press their settled opposition TO the annexation of
Texas to the United States" You request of me
" an explicit expression upon this question of an
neXation." Having at no time entertained any
opinions upon public subjects which was unwil-
ling to aVow, it gives me pleasure to comply with
your request. have no hesitation in declaring
that am in favor of the immediate re-anne alton
of Texas to the territory and government of the
United States. entertain doubt to the
power or the expediency of the annexation
The proof is clear and satisfactory to my mind
that Texas ever constituted part of the territory
OF the United States, the title to which regard
have been as lndIsputabIe as that to any other pOr
ton of our territory. At the time the negotiation
was opened with view to acquire the Floridas
and the settlement Of other questions, and pending
that negotiation, the Spanish government itseI
was satisfied of the validity of our title, and was
ready to recognize line far west of the Sabine
as the true western line of Louisiana, as defined
by the treaty of 1908, with France, under which
Louisiana was acquired. This negotiation, which
had first been opened at Madrid, was broken of
and transferred to Washington, where it was re
sumed and resulted in the treaty of Florida, By
which the Sabine was fixed upon as the western
boundary of Louisiana. From the ratification o
the treaty OF 1903 with France, until the treaty o
1919 with Spain, the territory now constituting tn
republic of Texas belonged to the United States
In 1919 the Florida treaty was concluded a
Washington by Mr.. j. Q, Adams (then Secrelar.
of State) on the part of the United States, ant
Don GEMS de Onis on the part Of Span and b.
that treaty this territory lying west of the Sabine
and constituting Texas was ceded by the Unite
States to Spain. That the Rio del Norte, or som
more western boundary than the Sabine could hay
been obtained had it been insisted oil by the secre
tary of State, and that without increasing the con
f sderation paid for the FlordaS, have not
doubt. In my judgment, the country west of tn
> Sabine, and now Texas, was most unwisey cede
t away. 1t is part of the great valley of tn
| Mississippi, directly connected by its navigabl
waters with the Mississippi river, and having bee
once part Of the Union, it should never hav

seen in the States of the far South. do not pro-
pose to discuss this Journey at all, but it may be
we'll to recoect that there three distinct streaks
or layers of politics in this country, all of which
require to be carfuy noted by him who processes
to play for high stakes on the national chess-board
There are your States of the North-your Bunker
Hill people-with their strong tendencies to free
principles, their personal interest in free industry
equal rights, protection and fair wages. Here are
our northern slave States, at a dead stand-st I'm.
der the bghting curse of slavery, with the adnis
sion on their lips, and the evidences all around
them, that it is an enormous moral, political ant
social calamity; but one for which, they say, the
the present generation are not to be charged witt
crime, nor expected to take practical and decisive
steps for its removal. Then come the southern
slave States-the hereditary oligarchy, the anna
teur reeaters; they swear fealty to eternal slave
ry-they claim all the powers of the government
for its maintenance, as the leading object for whcl
the Union was established. All the separate ant
distinct elements, tastes, habits and propensties
must he regarded, moulded, conloined and used b.

not impossible that it was with some such view o
