gotten amidst the fearful lorebodings of party
dissolution and the loud demands Of seli-pres-
CREATION. Every murmur Of discomfort sub
sides into meek acquissence. The neck of
Northern doughfacrism is instantly bowed 10
receive the CALLING yoke, and now when the
bold ayowals Of the advocates of annexation
have fully subsianiiated the fact that Texasis
wanted 10 WELD the entire power and patron
age of the government for the support of the
slayeocratic interest, the cry for Texas FIRE
Icras is m5re aud more loudly vociiera;ed
by these parlizan leaders who at first feigned
TO regard annexation with holy horror. In
deed it has now become sort of petit treason
among these devout champions of equal rights
and the largest liberty TO complain ola scheme
which barters away the principles which they
have protested and makes the perpetuation
and extension ofthe viIest system of oppres-
sion the world has ever seen, the very touch
stone of the Democratic faith. We cannot
envy Locofocoism the poeition which it has
taken. We can only lament that any portion
of the free-born sons of the Green Mountains
have sold themselves so unreseTedly TO the
monster of Slavery and are ready TO aid in
the extension and perpetuaiion of power in
the government which proStrates the nation
at the feet of slaveocratic domination. Thank
Heaven uron the subject of Slavery and An
nexaton, the Wings as party have for wears,
in Congress and elsewhere, stood their ground
with an unlinching fidelity to the cousliu-
ton and the country. But four in both Houses
could be found to sustain the abominable
measure.
But now for the celebration. AS our object
is to give the people of Addison County an
inkIius ofthe present faith of the rapidly pro-
crossing Democracy we have omitted the
songs which doubtless added much TO the de-
lights ofthe celebration.
