'hat IN announcing The neutral press for lis sup
port OF Democratic policy, Inc Tribune has con.
iessed that, in many respects, that policy, exa-
mined by The tests Of justice and reason, and re-
moved from The influence of party prejudice, re-
ceres The approving sympathy Of large majo-
rity of The people.
II is in vain for The Tribune 10 appeal to The
people 10 withdraw their patronage from The neu-
trail press, as long as il does Justice 10 both par

coed by inspiring in The masses love for lis
own radical and revolving heresies, and by pros

accord with the Democrats on questions entirely
national in their character, il may as well al once
surrender The contest. It's own gloomy predic-
diclion is bound 10 be verified Il will be "idle 10

measures and candidates. The task is hopeless,
and may well be given up"
TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT.
A Texas correspondent Of the n. Y. Tribune,
who strongly balled against annexation, but
when it was completed, went out TO see what
could be done there, describes The natural resouI-
ses OF The new State in The following glowing
tins. He makes il ont 10 be perfect FL Dora

acquisition" AS 4 large majority OF The people
of The United States are convinced that il has been
annexed without The least violation Of our Con-
slituiion or sacrifice Of our national power we ask
all Wings who may sill doubt the value OF the
acquisition, TO read The strong testimony of a
Wing eyewitness and give the proper praise 10
the Democrats for having secured such splcn-
Jill national prize:

THE people Of Texas as a hody, are law-ob-

must moi Judge oil them from The turbulent and
unworthy lew who came there in earlier times
many OF these have passed away. Fifty peace
able citizens come here and settle; no note is

in the Union hcralls The fact.
