TO conjecture haiti will be quite amusing 10 hear
the independent portion Of our wh4g trIends at

general prosperity of The country fully demonstrate
would also address youlenghiiy upon the subject
of the Tariff, and endeavor to prove that high ex-
orbitant duties make goods cheap if the American
manufacturer did not raise the price OF his goods IN
TO the amount OF duty raised but as
nearly every person begins to understand the ope-
ration and policy of high protective Tariff, must
forego any further remarks this subject, only TO
say that the democrats have said that they have dl-
vested the subject of the Tariff Of its mask that II
IS no longer susceptible of imposition or deception
but think we can stand little while longer upon
the article of nails, they are cheaper now than
they ever were before; but the democrats have
said that owing 10 the inexhaustble mines Of iron
in The United States. assisted by capital and en-
terprise, nails could be manufactured and sold
(without levying any duty on Ihem) fer 20 per
cent. less than the present prces and the capital
lists and laborers would realize better profit than
they could by raising cotton, corn, rice, wheat,
oats, barley, or any agricultural product; and II
this be true, have nothing to say in favor of pro.
teetlng the few at the expense of The many. i
would like to say something upon the subject of
annexing Texas to the United States, showing
that such union mi ght possibly create war
foreign and domestic as was expected; but resolu-
tlons Of annexation having passed both houses pre-
VIous TO the ad1our OF the last Congress, and
no Injurious consequences have resulted from said
action, ii IS natural for TO suppose that any re-
marks may make in opposition to this Important
subject will not be favorably received l. have
thought. and still think that Mr. Clay placed the
wings last spring in a miserable stew about this
matter. -r-L
Such, l am confident, will be the lone of the
language that viii be used next summer by the in
dependent wings of the country; and whoever the
democrats selects TO be run by them may rest on
his back half his time and reply to the most ultra
oe their fraternity, and that with ease and IN such
a forclbie manner as 10 insure success. ! under

we have too many sterling and undertaking demo-
Gratis not 10 have leader, public eefender; and
second because we are brave and patriotic peo-
pie, ever ready to show fight without rejecting

standard and upfurl il to ihe breeze, If we perish
in the battle. And our. principles being of pure
and lofty character; representing our glorious Con-
stitution 10 the letter, ever ready TO secure the
greatest good TO the greatest numter exerting our
selves 10 the utmost promulgatiRg and establish

that the ultra wings will man who Is in favor
OF fifty million soulless nlonied Monopoly, in Ia
vor of high protective Tariff. and opposed 10 the
annexation Of Texas to the Union. Can't we call
a convention and select man who will suit the
highmnded independent portion of the wings, as
well the democrats, better than an ant-anne xa-

and worth in our district among ,hem may be
found MARcHANT, CRANBERRY, HEATH, JOHNSON,
STALLINGs, MooRE, MEBANE, BRAea, and BIoGs-
good and true, of sound political integrity ex-
ceEent speakers, well conversant with the politics
Of the countryS either of whom would fiil the
station with honorsand dignity. l confidently be-
heFe that if the democracy would unite either
one of the above named gentlemen he would re-
ceive the entire strength Of the friends Of annexa-

and large share of the whig party. "--
