Wright sends on to Washington by his official ap.
pointment, two new Senators TO vote for the an
nexation Of Texas During the session of the
Legislature at Albany last winter, the Wings used
every effort to procure some official expression
against annexation against adding territory TO
our dominion without some guarantee that new,
unqualified, illimitabc slave power should not be
forced upon u.s. But all was vain The party
yoke of Loco Focoism had been put upon their
necks--the voice of ant-Texas had been hushed,
and New York Loco Foco politicians became the
iavoritcs at Washington, and Mr. Calhoun and bis
friends supplanted, and forced TO retire to pri
vate life. Nullifers, State Rights-men, Republi-
cans, Old Hunkers, and Hard.isted Democrats =
names as harmonious and consistent as the prinei-
pies they cover Names worthy of party tina:
can vary their professions suit The within of every
latitude--that in the same latitude can denounce
Texan annexation in one month, and in the next
Gao abandon every thing, and make every sacrifice
to secure annexation
Contrast with this beautiful Loco Foco picture
the proud position which the Wings now occupy.
In New England--in New York-in the Middle
States-throughout the South and the West, there
is but one name, and that name is Whig. Through
out the broad expanse of the Unisn-North, South
West, the principles of the Wings are the same
1t is true that few Wings Of the South have
advocated annexation. But the mass of them is
with the North All that there is Of anti slavery at
the South, is found among the Wings. All there
IS at the South friendly to New England, is found
among the Wings. South, West, and North, there
is but one sentiment among the Wings on the sub.
jeci Of the Tariff Free-trade, Notification and
Reputation disturb not their ranks. All arc for
the Union. The Wings are emphaiically Of the
Union-their principles recognize no local interest
not connected with the interest of the whole Union
by their principles the Union can alone be pre-
served. They are dear &c thirteen hundred thou.
sand freemen, real, bona fdc citizens Of the United
States, who will cherish them and defend them,
until they completely triumph. Loco Focoism is
variable, inconstant, to suit every within that may
spring up for day. II is Notification in one place
and Reputation in another. Free-trade in some
States, Tariff of two hundred per cent on sugar
in Louisiana. 1t is down with the manufacturers
in one place, and increase the duty on coarse wool
in another. 1t denounccs slavery and annexation
'ns black and bitter as hell" in ls43 and 1874 in
lS45 slavery is the corner stone of our republican
edifce, and the annexation Of Texas is our only
safety, and every Loco Foco throat is now swelling
with shouts Of glory at its contamination

THE WEATHER: 1926 VS.. lS45.-This tritc sub.
jet has become unusually interesting especially in
the cities. There has been rumor that the vel.
low fever was raging in Philadelphia, but probably
unfcunded. In New York no subject seems TO en-.
gross the attention Of the newspaper press so much
as the weather. at would be idle to disguise the
fact, says the Express, that there is great mortality
in the city. In some disease has assumed the
shape CT cholera, and il has been fatal in its con.
sequences, and as sudden in its attacks Our Cor.
onerss reports are fu of melancholy details OF the
fatal effects of the weather, here and elsewhere
Much has been said of the summer Of 1875 as iur.
nishng parallel with the present, as 10 the ex-
tIrme heat In 1891 the fha-..aa,aia. --.s-i

within the same dates this season, it ranges only
from 90 to l0l. This is speculation of New

the amanacs have it. At all events, it has been no,
enough in Braitleboro 10 answer all purposes Of

~ On the Is, of July, 1916, two or three Loco
Foco lawyers put their heads together at Newfane
and concocted the following resolutions among 9th.

equal privileges and equal rights. but disdains 10

shoulder TO the Wheel 10 assist in rolling onward
the great cause OF human freedom.
Resolved, That We will sustain those principles
which bring the majority the level of the few, in
respect to the means Of obtaining comfort and in
telligence, for thousands should not be forced TO
toll that tens may lounge in splendid safety.
On the 4th of July, 1916, thirteen soldiers Of the
Revolution met in Brattleboro 10 celebrate tho
anniversary of that independence they fought to
obtain. Every one of these venerable thirteen is
now thorough Whig-,hey were Wings of I776,
and they IRE Wings of Is45. They consider the
spirit OF Loco Focusm hostile TO their liberties,
and TO the well-being of the country as was the
English ioryism previous IN, and during the Revo-
luton We will put the thirteen Revolutionary
soldiers against the three Loco Foco patriots and
lawyers Who have soiled their hands most in the
services Of their country Modern Democracy is

was horrible thing. Now We suppose that in the
minds Of this locofoco patriot, the internal

the American reader The notice Of Mr. Morrson's
life Of Judge Smith will exceedingly interest the
New England reader. The exploring expedition is
treated with great candor and independence praise
and censure are freely bestowed wherever the Re.
viewer thinks they are deserved. We think the
article on Young England is undeservedy severe
upon D'Israeli, the author of sConiagsJy and
'Sy6H One may easily find matter to which he
may object with reason, but we see no cause in
these two works Of D'lsrael TO warrant so many
walls of spleen. We find much more to admire
than to condemn in the writings of this champion
of Young England.

Alarm among Texan Loeofocos.

The New York Morning News and other Loco.
foco organs are getting considerably alarmed about
their friends in Texas who left their country for
their country's good'-that is to say, for the fsgi-
tives from justice who are now rcvelng in all the
Injuries OF locoioco freedom A writer in the
Morning News says;
"Texas has become proverblol as the Botany Bay
Of the United States and, however unjust this ap.
peilation may be- there be no question that she
has been the iavore resort for those nfractors of
The laws in this country, who, from necessity have
chosen another residence. To many Of this char.
acter, the question of their amenabty TO our laws
will be one OF practical interest
Here is admission that Texas is a sort of Bot.

Texas is considered as effectualy annexed, with
all its bad as well as good qualities. The News
thus further speaks in behalf of its democratic fell
low citizens who unfortunately find themselves
again brought within the limits OF that Union from
which their crimes had driven them:
cit may be suggested that Congress make some
provision for these lugitives, and il might be the
part of wisdom TO do So Mann Of these fggitices

The News need have no fears about constitution

gress in behalf of the scape- goats would be small
matter compared with some other antics Of locofo-
coism.

Think of Me.

When morning comes on her brilliant wings,
And DER the earth glory filings;
When the lest red rush Of day hath fled,
And night her silvery veil hath spread
Der earth and sea
When the peaTly clouds that float on high,
Like angel-bar,s in the deep, blue sky,
Are tinged by the moon with living light,
Ard the stars shine forth in power and might,
Then think OF me.
And when you roam where the bright streams flow.
And hear the sounds of their music low
Or wandering along the ancient hills,
And catch the CLEAN Of the sparkling Tills
10 wildwood fee:
Or rest thee beneath the forest shades,
To read the tales of tie old crusades,
Or bend entranced DER the poets song,
While sweet dreams Of youth on mem'ry throng-
Then think of me.
And when you meet in the house OF prayer,
To mngle your songs and worship there,
To ioia the praise with a heart imbued
BY the purest love and gratitude
To Heaven from thee
To unite with angels round the throne
or him who dwelleth in light alone; q. =.
When your songs and prayers together blend,
And their mingled tones TO heaven ascend
Then think of me.
