The Chicago Daily News has an article
of soma length, in reply TO one of ours on
the subject of annexation. There is but
one remark in il, which we feel at present
disposedto alude to. We stated in effect
that the opinion OF designs of southerners
in advocating annexation was unimportant;
that we should rather estimate the matter
by principle, and draw our own conclusions:
The News says: ''lfthe slave-h holders have
brought up the issue Of annexation for the
purpose of extending slavery, we are bound
to oppose it. on that ground" This strikes
us as rather singular logic. Shall we OPP
pose ii even though we are satisfied that
from the inevitable tendency of things, it
will not tend to the end the shareholders
anticipate. The sllveholders are by no
means infallble, they may be mistaken,-
there is room at least, for doub, in the prem.
iscs. Indeed the editor of tie News can
not be ignorant Of the fact, that able men
among shareholders, oppose annexation for
the very reason that it will weaken slavery,
Henry Clay was of the opinion, that annex
alton was not thing to be desired by slave
holders, TO perpeluate that institution
The opinion Of the editor of the News is,
however, that because the shareholders
choose TO entertain peculiar views, with re-
gard 10 it therefore, We who deprccate slavery
are bound to take the opposite. We think
as we have stated, that if annexation has
anything to do with slavery at all, abolition
isis if they are honest, should advocate -
For what does the editor of the News labor?
For some end we presume; and that end,
the abolition Of slavery. How does he eX
pect to accompl:shit? Not by physical fo.ce
we take it, but by the promulga,on and
spread ofcorrec, principle. Now, will any
acquisition of territory, or any increase Of
the slave power, check the progress ofprn-
cple? Men will be quite as ready TO listen
md investigate now. as they ever were.-
See then what is ganed.-SIavery exists in
Texas, and as separate government would
be in a manner, forever beyond the reach OF
the principles promulgated by aboi,ionists.
AS one ofthe union, she is brought immed:-
alely within their reach, and il the pr;nci-
pies Of the editor arc good for any thing if
he expects them to accomplish any cid, he
should rejoice tina, Texas is brought from
the dominions of error and darkness, under
their influence. But it is the nature of alb
oli,ion;s:s TO be s .ort-sghied. They coull
not be abolitionis!s otherwise; and the po-
s;tion of the editor of the News, ,ha, abol:-
;ionsis must oppose annexation, because the
holders favor ii, is no doubt the secret
oflhe oppos ton.

SUNSHINE PoLTIcrANs--We perceive under the
head of'un ,rincipled men in pub c station' in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, some severe but merited
structures upon that class of unprincipled politi-
clans who change their course and sail with every
new wind Of political fortune. Deficient in merir
their modesty never proves bar to their prefer.
ment, and they often impose on men of station
and ability who cannot realize their baseness. It
is such men that have made the name of politician
and we are delighted to see the manifestation Of
disposition to expose and rebuke these parasites
as they dishonor and disgrace any party to which
they attach themselves

PAPER INFLATION-- - THE REMEDY.
The New York News gives table of Bank
ejaculation in a majority Of the States, aud
says the tendency TO increase is very appa-
rent in all the banks of that section Of the
country, and is equally so in New England,
New York, and Pennsylvania. Ia the latter
State there is already notices made public

old charters will be applied for at the next
session Of the Legislature. In Massachu-
setis the return showed highersta of the
circulation than ever before. In New York
the nett circulation is as high as ever before.
We find the paper currency of the Eastern.
Western, and middle States not only as large
as in 1889, but rapidly increasing, and the
rate Of money has bsen lower in the 'Iharkei
for the last three years than ever before in

They are all indications of the fact that the
currency, as compared with other nations, is
actually redundant, aud nothing but unto
