Hear the theory and then the .tacts!-
Mr.. McDufie, in his late speech upon The
tariff, said, "if the government Of the Uni
''ted States would cease to lay its hand up
"on tho commerce of this country, the i'm.
"agina,ion Of man could not grasp the
"oxtent of the demand for raw cotton in
"England, Germany and Russia. If we
chad free trade, the whole country, from
"the Potomac to the Rio Del Norte, would
mot produce enough for the demand Of the
"world."
Now let US try the facts. Cotton is
worth SO per cent. more now than it was
twelve months ago. This increase in
price will yield to this country nett profit
Of eight or ten millions Of dollars, and still
tho demand is increasing. Just before the
present tariff went into operation, and
while Free trade was Aourishing, The price
was low, and the demand so small that cot
ton was almost drug. Can this be dis
putedl These are stubborn facts which
though Mr.. McDuffie and The whole loco
TOGO pack we're let loose upon the tariff,
cannot be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The legislature of Massachusetts are SO
exceedingly opposed to the annexation oil
Texas, that dissolution of the union is
threatened if that measure is carried oui
by the government. The following reso-
lutions passed the senate Of that state
unanimously:
Resolved, That the power 10 unite an
Independent foreign State with the United
States, is not among the powers delegated
to the General Government by The Con-
stitution of the United States.
Resolved, That the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, faithful 10 the compact be-
tween the people of the United States, ac-
cording to the plain meaning and intent
IN which it was understood and acceded to
by them, is sincerely anxious TOR its pre-
servation. But that it is determined, as
it doubts not the other States are, to sub.
NIT to undelegaed powers in no body Of
men on earth. That the project OF the
annexation of Texas, unless arrested on
The Threshold, my tend to drive these
States into dissolution of the Union, and
will furnish new caIumnies against re-
publican governments, by exposing the
gross contradiction of people protesting to
be free, and yet seeking TO extend and
perpetuate the Subsection Of their slaves.
This is rebellion, treason, secession,
revolution, almost amounts 10 the horrors
of notification. The government says it
is constitutional, says it has the power to
ratly the annexation; the State of Massa-
chusctts says il has no such power, and
that the action Of no body of men shall be
binding on the state when ii believes the
power undeegated. There is no ausion
TO the supreme court, no mention of resort
to the judicial tribunals; but the state of
Massachusetts in her sovereign capacity
will not stand it. We are one of those
who believe that if the state of Massa.
chuset,s chose to disobey a law of con.
gress, she could not be coerced; but we
would like to see how she wo.ld attempt
to exert her notification upon The Texas
question.

The Constituencies, new wing pa.
per started in Vicksburg, in speaking Of
Mr.. Calhoun's prospects for the presden-
cy, has this remark: "Mr. Calhoun might
have been the idol ofthe people; hemight
have been the strongest competitor bey-
ond doubt" The preceding part OF the
article had been urging that Mr.. Calhoun
could never be president because he
was a nulli6er; because large major
ity Of the people were opposed to nullifca-
ton; because the unionis's would never
trust him, &c. Immediately after the sen.
tence above quoted, the writer uninten-
tionally assigns the true reason why Mr..
Calhoun is not the strongest competitor:
mature made him great, Independent, and
chivalrous." We suppose; according to
this writer, that he ought not 10 have been
independent and chivalrous, in order that
he might have been the idol Of the people,
and the strongest competitor. That is:
that he ought not to have taken the stand
he did against the tariff of 1928; that he
ought to have been willing to see that por-
ton of the Union with which he was iden.
titled, oppressed with an intolerable degree
of taxation; that he should have renounced
his state rights principles; should have
played the sycophant 10 Gen. Jackson in
order that he might some day be the strong.
est competitor. A rather strange compli-
ment is paid to the Anne. lean people who
IRE said 10 re- ect a man whom "nature
has made great, Independent, and chival-
rous." The writer would appear to infer
that man of this description is not colcu-
lated to be the "idol of the people," and
"the strongest competitor He certain
ly does not mean to say that Mr.. Clay is
the opposite OF what he describes Mr.. Cal.
houn 10 be, yet such is the position in which
his logic leaves him,
We are sorry to see the writer has no
acquaintance with the history Of Mr.. Cal
houn as statesman. The papers of his
party have been in the habit of attributing
inconsistency to Mr.. Calhoun, and he
merely repeats the same thing upon trust.
If a writer who exhibits so much candor
and fairness as this one usually does, had
examined the subject, his judgment would
have taught him different opinion. This
writer, by the way, from his much talk a.
bout notification, seems not to have ad-
vancedmuch beyond the days of 1872
From his enthusiastic laudations of the
proclamation, he seems to think that the
great divisions Of the party are still union
and notification. He thinks nineteen
twentieths of the people Of the U. States
are opposed to notification; this we doubt
much, but we we'll believe that nineteen
twentieths Of those who are opposed to it
know nothing about it.
