ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TRADE.

The hints in the following. from British newspa-
per, are significant. Let the friends OF Protection
ponder them
"The Liverpool (England) Mercury in speaking
fhvoraby Of the annexation Of Texas TO the United
States, snys
"'The annex alton Of Texas would give great add-
tona preponderunce in the Union TO the interest up
which we must necessarily rely the for a
mantainance offriendiy political aud commercial
relations with England that namely, of the South
cotton growing States. The Uote of Ter1S icouli
be WECESS.fRIL Y an additional free. trade vote,
which in the present balanced state of parties and in
terest, might frequently prove decisive. We cannot
afford ALLEVIATE the Southern interests and strength
the advocates ofa high Tariff, by opposing
sure warmly advocated by the Southern States,
and by enlistng all the feelings Of National prejudice
and Anglo-Saxon pride against it throughout the
Union.'"
Here, then creeps out another reason why the
Locofoco Free-Traders go for annexation. 1t is not
enough to add four or five more slave States to the
Union; but when they added, they to vote
against Protection, and in fapor Of British Free
Trade And in the selection OF Mr. Polk then have
who, aiming to secure both ofthese objects
annexation and Free Trade, is just the to carry
out the idea of their British allies. Shall at the

EPk is conceded in private conversation by well
informed lOcolocos that Mr. Clay win be elected Pres
an by majority almost if not qute,as large as was
de majority for General Harrison. They see that,
since their party has taken Texas and anti-potcc-
ZIONIST upon their shoulders they must yield to him
New York, OHIO, and Pennsylvania-95 electoral
votes while Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut,
RhOiehand, Maryland, Delaware, N. Carolina,
TEN. Geo. and Kentucky were certain for him be-
&e-Ss electoral votes-40 more than is necessary
osIee Eu,-and hence they concede that Polk
mNahs defeated. And yet there remains Maine,
New Jersey, and ludiana-27 electoral votes-al-
most certain for CNay-with Virginia ard Louisiana
more propabIe for Polk now in consideration Of his
hiendship for Annexation, With proper eforts-and
they will be put forh-these States which we claim,

cessity OF making material alterations in his rule or
custom of doing business, and having no desire 20
take people by surprise he takes this way for making
his intention public. For the eleven ,years he has
been engaged in selling goods in Concord, he has
been in the habit of giving or rather allowing very
long credits md now has a considerable amount due
him in good hands from to years standing; but
finding this course not only runous to himself but
extremely injurious to his customers, he has after
much deliheraton TO the conclusion, that small
profits, short credit and prompt pay are his only
surety, md not only beneficial to himself but the
buyer. He therefore adopts the. following pnnci-
pies, viz to sell low and one years credit only,
and he hereby gives notice that pay must positively

that all demands for goods sold previous the 3lst

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Two Men Drowned. Two young Men, Mr.
Nathan d. Prut, formerly Of Ludlow, Windsor Co,
and Mr. Henry x. Barnes of Feuisburgh were drown
cd in this city near the Falls Friday morning OF
last week. They were employed in Mr. JcweIt's
Factory, and went to swim in the creek just below
the same about o'clock the morning of the fatal
day. They had been bathing but short time when
their cries OF distress heard by three in
dividuas- but it was supposed they were making
sport, and little notice taken OF them. At the
treakfas table they were missed and enquiry be-
ing made it ascertained that they had been last
seen in the act of undressing themselves for a bath
On repairing TO the swimming place in search Of them.
their clothes found shore but nothing CO uld
be seen Of their owners.
The conclusion was inevitable that they were
drowned. An immediate search for their bodies
was made found in about an hour-the o.
Their in about two hours. 1t is supposed that one Of
the young men was seized with cramps, and tho O.
Their going TO his assistance clnsped nv him so as
TO he disenabled, and both persisted together. Mr.
PrHu's age was about 23-that of MIR Barnes 81 WIS.
They were young men Of high moral character in
tell'gent, industrious, and highly respected.
