RICHMOND DAILY WHIG..
FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY =, isI,.
THE SOUTH HUMBUGGED,


That either the Southern Free Trade Democracy OF the
Northern Tariff Democracy be duped by tho cleo
ton OF Mr.. Polk, obvious everybody. While q
candidate he could iraudueny and successfully play Gen
Num- and held out to each wing deceptive
Of his coinciding with their particular views but when
power actually transferred to the
aud II became necessary act. plain that Mr. Polk
could not be both for and sgas the Tariff but would have
10 take decided grouud ON side or the other.
What his ultimate decision would be- We never allow sd
ourselves TO doubt for moment We applied the rule II
sell 'nisres To his position, rule which he has ever sedu
'usy practised upon, and knew TINT must incline
him to prefer the alliance OF Pcnrsy aud New York
To that OF South Carolina and Alabama II he desired
smooth voyage through his tsaf the obvious
anu safest way 10 secure II: he aspircd election
that was the only prscticablS method OF attaining it,
Ncw-loik aud Pennsylvania Hkis States in int.
and OPINION and Mr. Folks Administration will be
Wing in its leading policy The Tariff will uch.
cd essentially Texas Will be admitted: 4 Bank will
be established, il the currency again becomes dcanged
friendly relations will he cultivated with all Foreign Pow.
ers These feel confident will be the charac terstc
features of the incoming Administration Conscious of
ms want Of national confidence and that he is already
nation, minority, Mr. Po.k will avoid extreme. rs far
as possible and aim at Juste meu. Thus coerced by
controlling inc the remuneration OF his personal
sentiments and inclna;Ons. MIR. Polk give coun
sound and safe lie will disgust South
enianaucism but he will appease by dispensing in the
South liberal share OF the loaves and fishes, which
Chvay love quite well the less chiyalrous northern
Democracy. Mr.. Polk in conception must give US
Wing measures and will make up the South in OF.
We find these views confirmed by the frank correspond
of the Charleston Mercury whom We conjecture 10 be
MS Rhc,t himself.
That correspondent says
WASHINGTON, Dec %
"How far the South will have for cougraiuaton in
the u MIR. Polk. we are now in wnv o., know
The first result Of the election was TO enable Mr. o.
Adams 10 abolish the rule of the House which prohibited
the introduction and reference of Abolition petitions and
This House while the election was in doubt
the late session renewed and sanctioned that rule The
change the part the Southern whigs for only
two Of them voted with Mr. Adams The change was ON
the part OF the Northern and Western democrats They
have nothing more TO expect gain from the South and
therefore, abandon its Looking the feeling
manifested by the Southern members only year ago
this SUBJECT II is difficult u believe tina, they would
have raternisea with capable of such pertidy

the protective policy is forever fastened on the country
aud that Mr.. Polk chosen as far as and
New ork are concerned As protective Tariff man.
The policy OF the Annexation Of Texas is scarcely
matters question at the South, and twas certainly by the
creed OF the democratic portion of the Southern people
In regard To that matter, Of the Northern and IVES
Democrats have been suffered be true TO their OBJ
legations to the South.
The interests OF their sections too ore il properly
considered, greatly be promoted by this measure But
what will be thought Of Northern aud Western Democracy
If should be found that the rising power OF abolition
SIN has already driven them into opposition to the
Annexation Texas. Whatever may be thought of it.
Is nevertheless the fact
Ii thought that the subject 81 Iaon would be
akeu this day in the House. There other sub.
before that body and Considering number of prop
osiiions pending II quite time begin To matur. some
definite plan.
Mr. Beser, Of Ala. supported by Mr. &. ]. Inserson,
pressed the Subject upon the House, the motion being TO
into Committee OF the whole the of the Union
to take up Tie Annexation resolutions The House not on.
y rejected the motion by five to one; but
refused the yeas ard nays upon it.
am tod by who have heretofore thought II po.s
bic that the House would pass bill kind Ut this
session, that it is u the question.
The proceedings Of the Honses to-day were utterly
unmportant."
