SAAA - a. W1sN A0Ds
TAis is-a question on which Intelligent
men have pEoGessea to differ. Some Of our
aem0crAiic. .frisnds would lain have Us be-
lieve that It is to enlarge the area of free
dom"-to increase our power and import
ance as a naiion-and to add to GU. reven-
ne and population. We think il might east
" be demonstrated that in all these res
poets the expectations of the friends Of an
nexaiiOn would fail of being realized, even
If these were the real grounds on which they
advocated it. The Texas party have prided
themselves much on their patriotism, and
their desire TO extend the blessings Of our
free and happy government to all who will
place themselves beneath the "eagle's
wings" The mass of those who style
themselve democrats" at the North, are
slow to believe that that abominable scheme
was concocied and consummated, by the
superior tact and management of their
Southern allies, for the avowed purpose of
extending and psrpetu@ing SLAVERY. But,
do any of them say they want proof on this
point They shall have it. ,.a.. ....,..-
Mr.. Upsher, the negotiator of the Texas
Treaty, said ~. o..
"The value of slaves as an article Of pro.
perty; depends upon the state of the market
abroad. Nothing is more fluctuating than
the value of slaves A late law in Louisiana
reduced their value % per cent. within two
hn,lnc nffoR eRc V,nc no WY knnwn If II
should be our lot to acquire the country of Teras,
THEIR PRICE WOULD RISE AGAIN" -..
And again the same gentleman said
~ will only add, that IL Texas should not
be attached to the United States, size cannot
maintain ha, institution slavery ten years,
and probably not half that time" 49,. .....
Senator Benton, the first advocate of an.
nexation, uses the following language:
II 60 for this recovery whenever it can
be made without the crime and infamy Of
unjust war. was the first depouncer of the
trealy of 1619--the first advocate for the re.
covery of Teyas-the consistent, uniform,
and disinterested advocate for this recovery.
"By that treaty of 1919, slavery was ac-
tually abolishedln all that region in which
we now only fear, contrary to the evidence,
that there is a design TO abolish It; and the
confines of a non slaveholding empire
were actually brought the boundaries of
Arkansas and Missouri-the ex-
act places which we now so greatly fear to
expose to the contact of non slaveholding
All this exposed at the time
The treaty of 1919 was made. and pointed
out as one of the follies or crimes of that
treaty"
Is any further evidence wanted, that this
scheme was got up by shareholders, for the
express purpose of increasing the value Of
slave property! Let John c. Calhoun tes-
.ify on this point: 81 1885, .rtf rrt'
.'.The measure of annexation is calculated
and DESIGNED by the open declaration Of its
friends, TO uphold the interests Of slavery, er'end
its influence, and secure its permanent dura.
