(a) And what think you, Wings, is tho e
vent celebrated which shows that the sober
second thought is never wrOngl 1t is the ac
cessiou 10 power of James X. Polk the very
personifcaion of annexation and Free Trade.
And it you cannot bear the abominatiou of
annexation. are you prepared to endure the
scorn and mockery to your vital interests
which free trade implies! Are you prepared
TO see the eDergies OF domestic Industry again
paralyzed, your manufactures closed, your
agriculture thriftless, your country stripped
of its currency and its wealth. and your la
boring classes reduced to penury for the want
Of that employment v hich is conferred by a
free trade policy upon the pauper laborers of
Europe in preference to protection 10 our ownl
Ii may be that the pseudo Democracy cannot
combine power enough against the Tariff to
destroy it. But should it fail it will not be
for want of all the power and patronage of
James X. Polk TO accomplish lis destruction.
% No doubt the imperishabe page of
history will show who both James K. Polk
and George NJ. Dallas were. But we trust
it will be. exhono rated from recording po-
litical careers which shall prove SO little
beneficial to the great Interests of the Union

(c) Andrew Jackson has done many
things to entitIe him to the praise and adj
miration Of his counirymen. But does it
become the De nocracy Of Middlebury to
make his unwearied labors to annex Texas
the GROWING glory of his life' Does it be-
come them irreveren,ly to put into the
mouth of the man The latest act of whose
life has been the advocacy Of all iniquity
which threatens the most direfuI calami
ties TO the country and disgraces US in The
eyes of a civilized world, the language Ut
tered by good Old Israelitish patriarch
who had witnesses glorious event which
he believed would secure the prosperity
of his country and his kline.
% Did mortal ever witness such a flight
ofthe lofty and sublime, which Napoleon
said was so nearly a ied to the ridiculous?
But aside from thi S, look at Martin Van
Buren the great champion of the Democ-
racy, ANONYMOUSLY kicked out of the Pres
ideutia candiJateship to make room for
james X. Polk of ennessee, in everything
his inferior; AMI then for the sake of sus-
taining the party surrender ing his own per-
sonal dignity, as well as honor, faith, JUS
tice and human rights at the feet of the
slaveocIatic power. Surely, Martin Van
Buren, bo,ced himseLfi his might" and the
Israel of Democracy have reason to rejoice
in the self-sacrifcng trucking course of
their champion which has secured them the
spells.
(e) "rhe Cato of America" Yes "he
! Cato Of America." The old, rigid, unspar-
ing censor of Roman morals would lave
been put to the blush by the self denying
Cato of Modern times.
G) We must reverse the definition of
parties if we would make single approach
to The truth. The democracy is the parry
of privilege and power. In what great
measure of public policy has Locofocoism
ever identified itself with the prosperity OF
the people What have they done for the
Ipiling millions but % seIucr them out oil
their votes "a the means of securing to
themselves tho deieciab privileges and
power OF Office? s. u hat keeps the Northern
and Southern sections of the party united
at this moment 10 use the language of MIR
Calhoun. but the adhesive poacer Of public
: piEader. And what means progressive De-
mocracy but lis, to receive or reject any
princrple.or resort tc any expe dients which
will secure the party in power.
