OF tho documents auswer IJonr John nj.

Let the documents answer. Hear John G. Cal
houn -
"'rhe United States in concluding the treaty of
annexation with Texas, not disposed to shun a
ny responsibility which may fairly attach to them
on account of the transaction. The measure was
adopted with the mutual consent, and for the mu-
tua and permanent welfare Of the countries inter-
ested 1t was made necessary in order TO PRE-
SERVE DOMESTIC INSTITUTIONS, placing
under the guaranty of their respective Constitutions
and deemed essential to their safety and prospect
ty."-See Mr.. Calhoun's despatch TO Mr. Paken
ham, dated April Goth, 1874
Now hear Father Richie, of the Richmond En-
quirer:-
ut is evident that after the lapse of few more
years, the Southern States will be The ony portion
ofthe civilized cold chere Stauery ,ciH erist. The
attacks of all the rest will be directed against them
In what will their security consist but in their
strength They should hare all The clements Of q
po,certM and extensive empire. The GulfofMeXico
where their interest principally lies should be par
ticuary guarded; above all should they prevent
Texas from becoming non.slavehodng State, or
fslling under the control influence of govern
ment which Is hostile to their institutions. The
S'avehoding interest should be poWertnt enough 10
protect Itself. Had the British West India Islands
white population five millions ofsous, England
would never lave attempted ipatlon."-Rich-
mond Enquirer.
Richard X. Mead, of Virginia, who has recently
lett tne w IlBs, anu Joileu tlc i1oCo foCoS; pun
lished his reasons at length. He changes because
the Wings go for the Protective policy, and oppos
es Annexation, and thus concludes; hear him
| CAL the reasons why the Wings of the North
oppose annexatonl may be summed up in few
words-a dep and abiding hostility 10 the erisience
of sauey. They ,oW do nothing that ioW ertend
The territory or increase The pocer or influence Of
those States IN ,pl,ich ii crisis
| 1t cannot escape our particular observation, that
the Northern Wings speak, not only of preventing
the extension but also the perpetuaton Of Slave
ry."
Mr.. Turney, one of the Polk candidates for cleo
tor in Tennessee in speech before the people, de-
clared as folows-hear him
"If ever any evil commotion should grow out o.
the agitation of this question, he for would be
found fighting for Teras and against The Union
He also stated that if he was now member o
Congress, ne would vote for bill to appropriate
money out of our public treasury, sufficient to pay
all the debts Of the Texan Government, ,oheihel
Ieras icere dnnered TO the United States or not"
