GEN. Jackson andsinnexatiGD.

We present our readers to-day
with another letter from Gen. Jack
son on the subject Of immediate au-
nexation Of Texas to the United
States, in which he brings this i'm.
portant question before the country
in It's true light. This letter comes
forth al the urgent request OF General
.Jackson's numerous friends. vino have
addressed him of late. and expressed
a desire to know if his sentiments
have not changed in regard 90 annex
alton. since so much information has
been brought to bear upon this great
measure by the letters OF MIR. Van
Buren, and other distinguished men
OF our country.

views in relation 80 the policy Of an

have Eeen changed 10y the light which
the subject has received from the re-
ceB; letters cf Sir. Van Buren,, and
otherprominent citizens; and because
it seemedto ~benecessafy thutl should

question except the interest which,

A NEW WING SONG,
OPINION OF HENRY CLAY


Thomas HART Benton, in 1924, published
TO the world, in an address to the people Of
Missouri, the following as his opinion of Hen
ry Clay. VIII the Locofoco papers publish
it. Mr.. Benton thus spoke of Mr. Clay al
that day;
Gin New York and Louisana, Indiana.
Kentucky, Ohio, aud Illinois, his friends are
in action, confident Of success. In many
other States where his friends do not amount
to majority, (there are numerous districts
deprived Of the votes. by the tyranny ola gen
eral ticket anxiously look TO the House of
Representatives, where their anticipated re-
representatives. can obey their wishes. And
shall Missouri be found wanting in this gen
erous contest among so many friends? Shall
she be drawn off from Henry Clay upon an
affected cry that che has no chance?" Shall
the State which owes her existence to him,
be reprsached with turning her back while
he has friend or an enemy in the feld!''
"The principles which would goyarn Mr..
Clay's administration, if elected, are well
known to the nation. They had been dis
played on the floor of Congress for the last
seventeen years. They constitute a system
of American policy, based on the agriculture
and manufactures of his own country-upon
interior, as well as foreign commerce-upon
internal as well as seaboard Improvements
upon independence ofthe new world, close
commercial alliances with Mexico and South
America. 1t is said that others would pur-
sue the same system; we answer that the
founder of the system is the nutural executor
of his own work. That the most efficient
protector of American iron, lead, hemp, wool
and cotton, would be the triumphant ehampi-
on of the new Tariff: the safest friend to in
terror commerce would be the statesman who
has proclaimed the Mississippi to be the sea
ofthe west the most Jealous promoter Of
internal Improvements must be the President
who has triumphed over the President thai
opposed the construction Of national roads
and canals-the most successful applicant
for treaties with Mexico and South Amer
ca would be the eloquent advocate of thei
own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HART BEN
TON"

Is it not strange that not single Loco
paper in the whole west has heard of the re
cent elections in Maryland? For fear they
have not heard the news, we would inform
them that about the middle of February
1914, there was an election held in that
goodly State for six members of Congress,
and that the Wings were triumphant in eve
ry district, electing the entire delegation
The Loco papers in Indiana are requested
10 notice the fact-if they will not do it
gratis do it any how,and charge the expense

daughters of the cities alluded to, be he mar
RED, widower OF bachelor, were he to make
the humblest apology, and then try TO cult
vate their acquaintance, they would spurn
him as they would rattle snake 1t is en-
endoubtful whether the conversion of such a.
man to the Wing cause would secure their
respect. A young gallant BaltirnoFean, re-
sident Of the West, molly rcpels the base
charge. In writing to the Ohio State jour
nal, he says
'sPermit me the use of your columns TO
repel with Indignation the unqualified charge
ofdebauchery and drunkenness made against
the fair daughters of my native city. ]
would tell that editor, whose impudence in
making such charge, is the clearest evil
dence that his associations have been of the
vulgar cast, that the meanest daughter ofthe
Monumental City, would spurn him from her
presence as thing too poisonous TO breathe
the atmosphere "made vocal by the song of
the fairest of the fair"
The noble daughters of Baltimore, are
alike esteemed for their virtue, beauty and
intelligence, with the brightest jewel of I'M
sullied purity, exalted intellectual endow-
ments and disinterested benevolence.
Note it, daughters of Ohio, this charge is
designed to wound your feelings by SANDER
ing your sisters and relatives residing in those
citiesD

WONDERFUL DISCREPANCY.

The celebrated Sth Of January "demo-
cratic" address has the following, among the
balance of its many singularities:
''Look at tae votes of the States, as man.
tested in the late elections, and do we not
see the Democrats everywhere rallying TO the
rescue i-gathering under the banners which
have so often led them 10 victory, and march
ing on conquering and to conquer
In replyto dis we quote from an address
published in the Indiana Sentinel few
weeks ago over the signature of such lead
ing democrats as w. w. Wick, the ''demo-
cratic'' elecior for this district, Horatio ]
Harris, the sdemocratic'' Auditor of State,
Royal Mayhem, the democratic Treasurer of
State, Doctor Dunlap, the Chairman of the
"democratic' Central Committee, Alexander
F. Morrison, the old democratic" Editor OF
the Democrat, and Nat. Bolton, his partner
both of whom were the democratic" can
didateS the party last year, in this county,
for the legislature. From recent address
published by those gentlemen, we extract the
following:-
GAS to Mr. Van Buren,, is there moral
certinty of his election in the event of his
nomination? What States can he now car
ry beyond doubt, that went against him in
1910? lie may carry Michigan, New York,
Maine, Connecticut and Mississippi, and he
may, or he may not carry the State ofIndia-
ana Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North
Carolina and Georgia.
"tellow citizens, let us lax our recollec-
ton and 90 back to 1912, when Gen. Jack
son and Mr.. Van Buren, were nominated by
a democratic national convention. The
democrats of Pennsylvania refused TO cast
the vote of their State for Mr.. Van Buren, for
| Vice President. In 1886, he received the
vote of that State for President by small
majority only; when the democratic majority
in the State was some fifteen or twenty
thousand. In Tennesses, Indiana and Ohio
until then (1S36) democratic State, he was
badly beaten The majority against him in
| Indiana, was over eight thousand, and more
in Ohio. In 1910 the majority against him
| in Tennessee was about twelve thousand in
Indiana about ten and in Chic some twenty
thousand. What evidence have we in the
late elections to convince us that he can now
carry Tennessee, Indiana or Ohios
s'In 1899, the year previous TO the last
presidential election, the democratic party
obtained signal victories in all these States
In the last election in Tennessee, where oul
friends fought under the Van Buren, flag
they were badly beaten. In our own State
we did well, but not better than in 1889. In
j In Ohio, both parties slept on the battle
ground. In Pennsylvania at their last cleo
ton, our friends barely won doubtful victo
nv. We were beaten in Maryland, NORTH
Carolina and Gorgia.-

0F'The following incident is mentioned
in the Cincinnati Gazette, as having recent
ly occurred in that city. 1t shews the con-
fdence of the Insurance Companies in the
efficiency of the Fire department. A fire
broke out, and when its dangerous situation
was seen, several risks were hastily TAKEN
"When it was fairly under way a citizen
suddenly entered an Insurance Office near
and said-"My house is next to the one now

THE PHILOSOPHY OF CALHoUN1sM.-Th
Washington Spectator, Calhoun paper,
says: "Let Wings or let Democrats succeed
in the next election, and it paves the way for
Mr.. Calhoun to the Presidency"
These Calhounites have queer way of
extracting consolation from their adversties.
Luck is to fall on them either over the left
or over the right shoulder, and they do not
care much which. There was a Calhoun
philosopher in Sparta, more than twenty cen
turtles ago, by the name OF Pedaratus, who,
having been defeated in his efforts to get in
to the council of The Three Hundred, thank.
ed heaven that Sparta contained three hun
dred men worthier than himself.

GEN. JAcKsoN's FNE.-The amount paid
to Gen. Jackson for his fine, was 2,700. The
Gen. has been well fed at the public crib, and
probably has received more of the Peoples
money than any other man, living or dead,
Gen. Washington not excepted. 1t is to be
hoped this will be his last draft upon the
treasury, especially as that is the second
lime the fine has been paid him,-first by the
people of New Orleans, and now by an act
Of Congress.

Western Empire, comments upon an article

Atlantic cities, and says

the CORRECTNESS of the prediction. 1t will I'M

eventually, and be second to no work in

indeed, it will be but an extension to the

has been paid OF, and Indiana once more
assumes the proud rank ofan unembarrassed

Public works, will give her he means of com
pleting successfully, all the rest, and also of
relieving her citizens from the burthen of

We have thus shown,-frst, that it will
be certain and permanent channel of COM
munication, between the Atlantic cities and
Lake shores, and the Southwest if con-
structed, next--that it will settle up large
amount of vacant territory filling it with indus
trious enterprising families, enhancing great
ly the value ofeVery species ofproperty, and
increasing production and wealth three or
four fold in short period and thereby aug
meniing TO very great degree the taxable

The overwhelming sweep of the Wings
of MARYLAND is like an avalanche, and fore
shadows the character which the coming
contest will assume. There is scarcely any
thing like it in history-there was nothing
like it IN 1910, when the result in Maryland
was so anxiously looked for / is not Hen
ny Clay, popular as that name is. No mans
name could produce such results as this, be
it one ever SO popular. 1t is the principle,
identified with the man. and bis policy. Ii
is the measures he is to cary out. The meas
ures which were looked for and demanded
by tho people in 1910, of which they were
deprived by the death of their favorite, and
the treachery of Tyler and which they are
not disposed to give up lightly or easily
The spirit of 1910 is discoverable in the re-
cent vote of Maryland. 1t was broad cast
over the land in that year, and the harvest is
now but gathering in. AS hath done Mary
land, so will each and every State, until Var
Burenism, we care not under what leader
will be left without a name or local habita
ton but in New Hampshire. What glori
Gus figure he will make, going into the cleo
torial college with no other State at his bach
