We conceive that the beneficial results Of having
Texas annexed to this country were too obvious for
the most imbeoie minded man TO have overlooked
who had but the most distant idea OF our CONNER
cal and internal relations with that infant republic
We cannot nor did we believe, at the time the
Treaty was rejected by the Senate, that the party
who rejected il did so the grounds which they set
forth In their preext but we believe that they had
| a personal and sinister motive in view. Bound AZ
we are clique, shall hold il TO DO our duty
to investigate and expose any cont nation OF few
individuals OF our own party which We believe may
have tendency to injuro cause, or that may be
detrimental to the public at large Thus 10 charging
portion Of our Senators with acting contrary to the
wishes end interests Of overwhelming majority OF
the Democracy, II behoyes us TO give full and eH-
pcit reason for his course of our proceeding
1t is we'll known that the late Presidential election
would be a closely contested election, and was so
considered by all othe leading politicians throughout
tie nation. The Van Buren, and Benton clique we're
deter ued 10 have Van Buren, nominated for the
next candidate.
At this time il was known that the Abolition vote
would be very powerful one, and the idea that by
rejecting the treaty it would create sympathy among
the Aboltonists and secure large portion Of their
votes, is the only reason or motive which We see
that induced them make this great sacrifice to the
nation and when the Wings what the Van Blu
rem clique motives were, they took the same view as
the Abotoniss and followed in the footsteps Of the
Van Buren, party
After the defeat of the nomination Of Van Buren,,
his clique became we'll aware that if Polk was elect
ed, Van Buren, could not be nominated the next
term but If hey could succeed in defeating Polk,
there would be every probability that Van Buren
would receive the next nomination, when large
portion Of his friends might expect to come in for
of the fat Offices 1t these considerations and
such motives which induced this Van Buren, clique
to enter into combinations defeat the cleo
ton Of Polk, and which still prompt the News, Post
and some few other orgons to condemn Folks views,
although wish eaders 10 understand that this
charge is imputed only TO a few of the office seekers
and suckers who are clinging to Van Buren,, under
the expectation Of high Offices in the event that he
should be elected to the Presidency and these
persons who are aware that Polk has been APP
prised Of all their designs to defeat him in his cleo
ton The circumstance of Mr.. Folks running SO
far behind bis ticket in this Stale proves that there
great many Democratic votes either not polled
for the electors or given to the Wings. This Van
Buren, clique plainly that Van Buren, cannot
be nominated at the next term unless they devise
some scheme or plan 10 condemn Folks measures
and principles during his term. And to effect this,
we may calculate TO exertions Of theirs
spared whether foul fair to defeat the popularity
! of Polk. ......
These are the brief views which entertain why
the treaty was rejected last session We have no
doubt but the great majority that opposed the treaty
clearly the great benefit the annexation of Tex
as would be to all our shipping merchants, by giving
them large commerce in the Texan market in pre-
ference to foreign shipping also the great market IT
would open all classes of mechanics and manufac-
urers throughout the Union for their commodities in
Texas which certainly must soon become place OF
great importance a market for surplus Of man.
ufactured fabrics and household furniture, wearing
apparel, carriages and all kinds Of farming i'm e-
ments, Sc But should the alton be delay ID,
there possibility that some great inducement may
be offered by Great Britain and the other foreign
manufacturers which will induce Texas to abandon
the project of annexng herself to this Union. As
for the legality and right on our part or on the part
Of Texas TO consummae the annexation immedi-
ately, we believe there is doubt.
