went boldly 10 work to accomplish the design
which they admit they began too soon then.-
Disunion as a consequences OF non anne naton, was
proclaimed in hundreds OF resolutions Measures
were openly concocted for carrying the resolutions
into effect Members Of Congress from the Southern
States we're Invited 10 act together communications
with the Texan Minister were recommended 10 be

this he, Mr.. b., had denounced in the Senate. he
denounced in the hearing of thousands, with The
concurrence OF almost all, and without denial from

since that time still more striking spectacle had
been when, the 9th day Of July, the present
month, Wings and Democrats assembled at Nash

protested against the Dissertation Of Tennessee soil

We shall be truly rejoiced TO ascertain that
the speech from which the above extracts
(marked for insertion in our paper) are taken
was merely an "inventon Of the enemy ="
although it is quite probable that such sentl-
menls, purporling TO come from such distln-
guished source, may have very materially ope'
rated on the election in Tennessee, in which
State this document was extensively circulated.
The measure of Annexation, however, is
sufficiently potential of itself TO make its way 10
a happy contamination, in despite of opposition
and to resist ii is TO be crushed. The effort to
stem the tide of its growing popularity, when II
had as yet not acquired onelourlh of its destined
impetus, annihilated schemes for the Presiden-
cy which had been connecting for years, and
which formed the grand result of the labors and
inlrigues Of powerful combinations of polti-
clans and presses. This was when the mea-
sure was in its infancy; subsequently, when II
waved a little stronger, but while still in It's
youth, like young Hercules, it demolished the
Wing party, and placed one Of its sincere advo-
Gates at the head of the Government, who had
not, previous to its birth, even aspired to that
exalted position.
And now, when the power of this great ma
tiona measure is rapidly attaining the full vigor
of maturity, it would be well for politicians, be-
fore opposing it, to consider its importance TO
the country, geographically, commercially
and politically" the will of the People, just
expressed at The polls and finally, in what
light their conduct may be viewed by pos
terity.
Calumny and detraction did their worst dur
ing the contest just closed so triumphanly.-
If the charges and fabrications in the extracts
we have copied, be not indeed the productions
of the author to whom they are attributed, still
they have been every where circulated and
similar ones, of almost equal enormity, have
been uttered by our opponents in every section
of the Union, and all to no purpose. The
President, the Secretary of State, and all the
able and patriotic statesmen who cheered them
on in their labors, are sufficiently acquitted Of
the evil designs imputed to them by their cir
cumvented enemies. The People would not
believe such preposterous and absurd libes, and
their verdict of "not guilty" has been deposit.
