We neglected to mention last week that the De-

ticket-Dmcl Kellogg, for Governor, WylEs Ly-
man, for Lieut.. Governor, and Daniel Baldwin for
TreasHrer. The attendance is said to have been

as--denouncing the Wing State debt : amentIng
for Gen. Jackson, SC.
We want to ask those Democrats who were for
mcrly slrenuously opposed to annexation, but are
now rejoicing over it, what has wrought this
change? Did you oppose annexation without good
and sufficient reasons? If not, what were these
reasons? and Ivy what process of argument have
you changed your views? Yon wish to ''enarge
the area of freedom" it is said What is the
nature and quality of that ''freedom," the "area'
of which is to be enlarged by the acquisition OF
Texas' Ofcourse Texas is not expected to be
before her neighboring sister States in the quality
OF her freedom, IN some of which a majority o.
the people are SLAVES-who do not exist fol
