But their Witness agreed not together,
Many Of the wing papers in this region are assur-
ing us, week after week, that the only way to pre-
vent the annexation of Texas is to make Mr.. Clay
President; and they seem to be very wrathy with
the abolitonsts for doubling their statements; but
what say the southern wings? The following ar
ticio from the New Orleans Tropic will show
Now, considering that Mr.. Clay is southern
man, and las lately visited New Orleans, we must
think that thore are better reasons for believing
the statements of the Tropic than those of the
Vermont Waterman.
To The editors of The Tropic.
Having at all times regarded you as candid and
impartial aborers in the cause OF wing principles,
and of southern rights, take the liberty of offer
ing you a few remarks, in reply to some of your
late articles on the great Texas question: for the
purpose Of showing that this should be considered
and sustained by us, not only as a Chlg measure,
but substantially as a southern measure; whilst it
is at the same time, of the highest national consid-
Grafton. In which view of The subject would
contend that we should by no means allow the
credit of either its origin or success to be claimed
by the weak and unprncipIcd individual who has
been, by most sad calamity, elevated to the head
of our public affairs. First that it should be re-
garded and sustained by US as wing measure
because one Of its first and strongest advocates has
ever been our great leader Henry Clay-whose
celebrated speech in favor of our perfect and en-
tire right to its possession as our territory, and a.
gainst the existence OF any right under our const-
tuition to ccde it away, is most powerful and con
elusive argument. Because, also, it is the essence
of our wing principles that we should preserve the
integrity of our constitution and our territory
without ever yielding the one or the other, ant
least of all upon the ground that southern iastitN
lions render us unworthy of the Union. Because
also the wing party are, and ever have been, OPP
posed to the abolitonists and their principles; anC
because the annexation will be carried by whig
votes in the Senate.

the different branches of the government. The
terms of membership in this association shall be

party, and acting with US in the objects here set
forth.
The above report was accepted and adopted.
The following resolutions were then presented
to the meeting by the committee, and after being
ably discussed by several gentlemen present, were
unanimously adopted.
|. Resolved, That we embrace as the standard
of our faith and practice, the sentiments of Wash
ington, which he avowed in 1856, in the following
words, viz: "There is not a man living, who wish
es more sincerely than do, to see plan adopted
for the abolition of slavery; but there is ouly one
proper and effectuaI mode, by which it can be ac-
complished, and thatis by legislative authority;
and this so far as my suffrage will go, shall never

O. Resolved, That the intelligence, acealth,
peace and morality of a nation, are dependant upon
the recognition Of the rights of the people,; and
therefore, all these interests must suffer, and are
in danger of absolute annihation, in a country
where slavery becomes dominant
8. RESOLVED, That no man is Justly entitled to
support for office, who is not acting to carry
out the Declaration of Rights as they are express
ed in the bill of rights of 1876; and therefore,

Texas anil the Presidential Candidates.

We ask the candid public to read and mark the
reasons Of the presidential candidates, upon the
Texas question, We will not characterize the
letters Of Clay aWd Van Buren, as containing
double plcdge-one for the north, against the
measure no,y, and one for the south in favor of it
ultimately, as soon as few difficulties can be re-
moved. We need not say that Birney's answer
contains full and unqualified guarantee against it,
now and forever The reader will not fail to notice,
this and ,aso that with the two former it is in fact
a question of time and circumstance-with the lat
ter, of principle and right. But it is quite useless
for US to attempt to make either Of these men say
what they have not said, or to attribute to them
sentiments which their sayings will not warrant.
In order, therefore, to present at one view, and
exhibit in the best manner the striking contrast of
position taken by the servants of the saveholding
aristocracy, and the cxampler and defender of
freedom, we present such extracts from their let
&ers as seem to contain the gst and substance Of
4heir views. Mr.. Birney's answer was made pub
JIG Immediately after his views were asked by the
committee, but some great purposes of patriotism
and honesty required Clay and Van Buren, to wait
party questions of loss and gain, and then, with a
hope of loosing nothing, and pleasing both north
and south, they boldly mount the troublesome hob
by, and with great skill and adroitness face to the
right, then to the left head to the north, then to
the south, and thus evince an ability to manage as
they choose, and willingness to choose direc-
ton the popular breeze should Indicate if they
were compelled to break out of the circle. The
following extracts from these letters will satisfy
every candid reader who is the safest depository
of the public confidence

Troy, N. Y, MaY II, 1914.


DEAR SRI received your letter, as well as
several others, from different parts of Vermont,
urging me to say when should be able to return
to the State to labor in the anti slavery cause.
More than two months ago wrote to Mr.. East
man of Randolph, one of your Central Commit
tee, informing him and the Committee that crcum-
stances had so connspred as to render it impossible
for me to return. did hope that the committee
would have made this fact known before this time,
so that my friends would have heen informed up
on this subject.
When returned from your free and hospitable
mountain home, found my own family in tears,
and my only child sleeping in death, But | do not
repine at this, neither has this providence of God
altered the arrangements into which we partly en-
tered. Many other changes had also been made,
and my dome site affairs compelled me to embrace
all the trials incident to the life of school-master;
and now am teaching district school of seventy
seven pupils.
1t would afford me much pleasure to visit my
friends in Vermont once more, for among them
we have the best samples Of Democracy, intelll-
gence and puritan simplicity that we can find or
this side of the great waters. May God bless the

A SUGGESTION,
Rev. Mr.. GLEED.

Mr.. EDITOR In the Vermont Waterman, of
May 18th, noticed a very splendid account of the
Wing Convention at Baltimore. | was much
pleased with the description there given of many
of the banners, with the devices thereon inscribed,
particularly those of Pennsy Ivana, Maryland and
Ohio. But looked in vain for what thought
would have been very particularly appropriate on
that occasion, viz, banner bearing the represn-
taon of Il plantation stocked with slaves, together
with other appropriate devices, setting forth the
prominent features of the "pecuar institution"
Butas it is understood that there are to be County,
or sectional Conventions, or gatherings, through
the country for the purpose of responding to the
nomination of Henry Clay to the Presidency, per-
haps it may not he too late to suggest to our wing
friends the proprety of getting up very splendid
wing banner Its dimensions should be ample,
bearing the representation ola plantation with the
hands at their labor, the mothers with their in
fants ashed to their backs, and toiling under the
crack ofthe drivers whip. In the distance should
be deliniated flying fugitive, pursued by men,
dogs and rifles, with full length portrait of Hen
ry Clay pointing towards the painting fugitive, cx-
claiming &C that isproperty which the law declares
to be property;"-" two hundred years of legisa-
ton have sanctioned and sanctfed negro slaves as
property" In some conspicuous position, should
be represented an aboitionist tied 70 tree in the
midst of burning faggots, by order of Judge Lynch
Many other appropriate sketches might be throw
in by way of embeIlishment-such as whipping
women, selling babies, cock-fghting, horse-racing
&c. &C. Underneath the whole should be writer
in large letters, Henry Clay, the father of the
American System. E***

which prompted the movers ofthc resolution TO
change the expulsion to censure. Mr.. L. modi-
fed his apology somewhat the day after he had
made it, but the Senate were content to allow him
to escape with the severe censure of the Senate
This resolution was adopted, with but seven dis
