We t-ust those citizens whether OF the City or
State who ieelthat something ought 10 be done to
p-even, the execution Of Van Steenbergh and o.
coInor viii &C, promptly and decidedly. Whatever
tee co.ors II which their guilt has been painted all
raast realize that they were misguided in the prem
i.s-that the older and wiser leaders in the Andes
homicide were far more criminal than they-and
iha; hey thought trnos; erringly the goodness OF
thei. las they viewed III Justification of the
violent and lswless means By which they aitested
their devotion TO H. No man can believe that they
were actuaied by personal malice, by cherished
purpose 20 murder or by sordid hopes of GAIN
Criminals they are, bat no, truly murderers Why
should they, then, be executed To what good
end Think and act!
e The Washington Union is in high gee a, the
alleged rejection (by our Wing County Meeting OF
20 much Of the Nominating Committees Address
related TO Texas. The course of Messrs. Webb and
Brooks is praised by ii in no stin,ed terms and they
are said to have con,ended
That the People of the United States had in most
and decided manner declared in favor OF An
nexadon-"
This 'unequivocal' approval OF Annexation must
have been given in the choice of Polk, an election
wherein the People cas-, more votes against Polk
than for him. and wherein but for the course Of those
VINO tnreW away loUuU VOies III tnls Sthte on thc
ground that Mr. Clay not hostile enough 10 An.
nexation, would have had an opposite result Mr.
Polk obtained the vote of this State even with this
$4,000 diversion in his favor only by the wilful 81
sence OF his party here in regard TO Annexation their
refusal TO name it in the Address and Resolutions
OF their State Convention, and their running for Gov
ernor Silas Wright, who had voted against Texas in
the Senate and made Anti Texas speeches on the
stump. In Herkimer. they held great Mass Meet
ing and resolved that Texas would be allowed 10
come in, except on terms Of equality 10 the Free
States Thus, by all manner Of cheats and devices
70 distract attention from Texas, were the People in
duced to vote for Polk or throw away their suarages
on Brney and now gravely told that this
vote has pat the whole matter beyond controversy
and tina, the 237 900 votes for Polk overwhelmingly
overbalance the o4soOO against him and prove tha,
New.York and the Union are for Annexation on
whstever terms the Scripjobbers, Land jobbers and
Aan:jobbers may prescribe No you don't, gentle
men
