They know, and We know that Immediate annsra-
lion" we're the wsteh~ords Of our party throughout
the length and breadth Of the land that IL borne
every banner in all Democratic professions, and
streamed from every liberty pole raised by our party
The object Of those who oppose II, can be only the
miserable one Of showing Mr.. Polk, that they are
determined TO distract and jisorganze, If they are
not allowed to control his administration. Msera-
ble miserable, indeed is such spirit, and wo 10 that
man, or those men, who give heed to the voice Of
these presses, and neglect to do the will OF the peo
pie, or who throw impedime nts in the way Of this
nost desirable measure.
From the hsobtrypOrt (Hass) He aid.
The objections which ave often made among US at
the north to any increase Of territory tending to
weaken the strength Of our Union and otherwise be
disadysntageous, we regard as utterly unsound The
ultimate destiny of tho American continent 1, to form
two great nations, comprising all the territory
from the frozen regions Of The north to the Ithmus
Of Panama, and the other all from the lstkmus Of
Panama, TO Cape Horn on the south. In our exten.
sion rather than contraction of limits lies main
reliance Of perpetuty a nation and prosperity
people. The possession by Great Britain Of so large
territory she retains at the north, is i'm
mense drawback upon our prosperity The acquis-
ton of Texas by her would be another advantage
proved by her remaining independent if The products
Of her soil increase fast anticipated. Suppose
Texas remains independent nation, and her fertile
soil as many anticipate, turns out In few years a
million bales Of cotton. Not bale OF that cotton
can our ships carry to the greatest markets Of Eu.
rope. Even if from the shoal water on the TEXAN
coast, it should be found necessary, it probably
will when The crop becomes heavy, to make New Or
leans the port of depose for this cotton it must 20
thence n Eoglish vessels. We can carry nothing
there in American bottoms but the products Of our
oVn soil. The fact that the English were both the
carriers and the purchasers Of her products would
enable them also to obtain in the natural course of
events the exclusive monopoly of supplying Texas
with all her manufactured goods, and thus at the
same stroke would the manufacturer and the mer-
chant Of the United States be shut out from a great
and growing country on her most fertile border
The vast possessions and dependencies of Great
Britain n all parts Of the world and her rigid navi-
CATION and colonial laws cut off our manufacturers
and merchants already from great markets which they
might otherwise supply. We can sell nothing, We
can carry nothing but the products of own soil
and not all of these to the great msrts of the
mother country, and her vast colonies in every quar-
ter of the world. Within few months many of our
ships have been up the Baltic sea, and compelled to
return from that long voyage in ballast, when there
we're hundreds Of cargoes Of tallow, of timber, and
| oth 70 there off at
rates Of freight for Great Britain but they could moi
be transported in an American vessel and the En-
gsh ships will go and take these cargoes from Rus
STA and Sweden and Norway and Denmark at their
leisure and at'ther own prices, (having but little
competition in the business) after the of ship
ments from our cotton pors is over.
Our merchants as well as our manufacturers are
headed at every turn, by British competition, and
checked by the astringency Of British colonial nd
navigation laws. The injury which Great Britain is
enabled to do freigbtng ships alone, by her pos
session of New Brunswick and Canada is incalcu
liable. Hundreds of the cheapest built ships in the
world the Engshmcn build there every year and
these alone have in many years crowded down the
carrying trade of all the rest of the world below
remunerating rate.
We regard all objections to the extension of our
territory by fair and honorable means, as unsound
from whatever source they may proceed. There can
be no doub, the time will come when Mexico itself
and all foreign possessions in North America, will
fulfil the design which is naturally pointed out, OF
combining in one great nation, which from its ex.
tent Of territory and diversity of occupation cannot
fail if they live together with only that regard to the
rights of each member of the Union, which an en-
ghtened lfinterest dictates, to be prosperous,
and as far Providence may permit, happy people
| There is no reason why large political family
may not live quito as tremendously a small ONE
The more numerous its members the better will they
be able assist another and resist aggression

imperfect confederation of independent States Ger

caused it to be desoaed and made the battle ground
of every general European war, has yet prospered
under its imperfect union, as no other country in
Europe has.
To insure a perpetual and prosperous union to
the whole of North America we shall need only to
allow to each State all the rights and powers which
they may exercise without interfering with the wei
fare of the Others, and guard agaiosi consolidating
any unnecessary power in the general government
permitting it only TO exercise such general superTi
sion as the good obviously points out to be
necessary.
