THE CONTEST-THE PROSPECT.

THE CONTESI-THE PKOSPECI.
Two States have thrown their votes in this
ever memorable political conflict and we await
the result. strong in the confidence that Anne
rican interests have riumphed, and the red
cross as in lsl2-'15. "sunk Keeling in the fright

1.-THE Wings succeed, 45o, 900 square miles of
this Continent in North America-immediately
proximate 10 us-are surrendered. MIR. Clay
has-see Cassus M. Clay's speech in Boston as
proof--given up practically all expectation of
annexag Texas. This has been done to pro-
p,iate the clamors Of Mr.. Webster and the New
England clique, and in the hope to conciliate the
Abolitonsts. To these last Mr.. Webster has
been constantly making his appeals on this
ground. But they have had more sense than 10
be entrappcd by This sudden cry of a man so
full of the grossest regeneration, and who has
eaten his own words with respect 10 Mr.. Clay
in such hot haste. They abide by man and
by principles which they have deliberately
chosen and now those same men who recently
courted them with such ardent ZEAL are heapng
upon hem opprobrious epthets, such as "stu-
pid fanatics" ''selfsh aspiran,s," 'men who
wish ouly 10 preserve their own party entire for
their own private ends and aims" See the Bos-
ton Courier Of very reccnt dates, and other SINH

The surrender Of half of Oregon comes next
in the train of disasters of Wing rule. No

Of our claims-will insist upon this as the price
of their support and il must be paid. or their
mulish propensities fully manifested.
But if MIR. Polk be elected, American inter-
ests will all be firmly grasped while no inso
ience. no attempt at bullying, will characterize
the movements of the National Government.

is herself accustomed 10 speak in a tone border
ing on haughliness, when she considers great
interests OF her own at stake; and she counts
on such tone and proceedings in accordance
with it as necessary parts Of successful negoti-
alton. In proof of the truth of this assertion
we might advance hundred positive proofs,
had we time and were this the fitting occasion.
