REsIsTANcE.-The locofoco presses are
trying to urge the money lenders and rich
capitalists, TO resist the tax-law. Why don't
they call on the farmers and mechanics, to
go in opposition also! Have they enough
sense to see that their own interest is iden-
tilted with a measure that lighlens the bur-
then of taxation on them, and places it on
those who are best able to bear it! If the
locoloco farmers and mechanics can't see
this as well as the Wings, theirnewspapers
must have blinded them outright. -Tusca-

A STATE NOT ASTATE-Texas at present
is sort of political chrysalis; she is in the
transition state, neither "iish, flesh nor good
red herring" So far as revenue is concPr-
ned she is independent, and is supreme
over her own pocket; so far as defence is
concerned, all her fighting is 10 be done for
nothing. We get all the kicks while she
receives all the coppers. By what rule Of
common sense or international law she
can have all the claims of State upon our
government while we have no claims up
on her as a member Of the Union, we are
unable to discover. Some Of the southern
presses have endeavored TO explain why
the reciprocity should be all on one side,
but they have thus far only succeeded in
bringing forward precedents which do not
fit the case. Troy (N " Whig.

strict blockade OF her principal ports, and

THE BARGAIN AND SALE"

1twilIbe recollected :llatmore than a year
since, in the early part OF the Presidenlial
campaign, a correspondent hinted to the
public through oureolumms that Henry Clay
had it in his power not only 80 show that he
was utterly innocent OF the charge Of "bar-
gaju and sale" brought against him. flor
that be had done when 1t was first made, J
bat that there was evidence in his posses
sion going 10 show that the attempt To ef-
feet bargain and sale was actually made
by the opponents Of Mr.. Clay. This CORES
pondeRt had means Of knowing the truth
ot the charge he made; and although many
may have been incredulous on the subject,
it will be seen by the following from the
National Inteligencer, that facts are about
TO be placed before the people Of the Uni
ted States, which will leave 10 further room
for doubt and misfP presentation. Not on
Iy will the good name Of Henry Clay lie
vindicated, but his EitLerest prosecutions
will BE- covered with shame by evidence
that they cannot ealnHay:
A VINDlCATlON AND DISCLOSURE The
public has long suspected that some disclo-
sure, like that ioreshadowed below, would

sidpred the reasons ior his silence, whether
a matter Of honor and confidence, Or mere.

We have received specimen sheet ot
Colton's Life Of that greatest statesman oi
our times; and at its page $50, oil volume

Numerous have been the occasions, az
all know, when Mr.. Clay might have tuker
'ha popular breeze, and been waited TO the
highos! pinnacle Of ambition; when, too
as was thought and argued by his friends

when, indeed, it was urged upon him as {
dury to his country. to his friends, 10 him
set. But, always Judging for himself a.
every man must do in all cases Of Casuis

ings Of his own heart, his answer has uni
formly been, when compelled by the deci.

in such debate: 81 had rather be right, than
he President" Ills magnanimty has, on
more occasions than one, barred the dOol
to his advancement, In the case Of the
notorious charge OF "bnrgaiR," for the elec
ton Of Mr., Adams, in 1895, it has, for nosr
ly quarter OF a century, been in the pow
er Of Mr.. Clay, at any moment, TO prove by
positive evidence that }tr d,shonordjie pro-
posnis pcrc made By those wto brought III,

and anticipating an arraignment on the

of the democracy. Was there ever such a
bare feed humbug! Yet the men who
thus guIIed their party, have the impu-
dence to talk about the majority ruling, as
if they really practsed on that principle.
But where were the claims Of the poor
man in this nomination for Senator! They
have taken one of the richest merchants in

who knows we'll how to turn a penny in

TEXAS.

The question Of Annexation will now soon be
decided by the inhabitants of Texas. Their Con-
gross and Convention of the people Will both
meot within few days. And although we have
q faint hope that the people of that new Republic
will have sense enough to avoid their own annihi-
lation, and the probable dissolution of our Union,
by the proposed confederation; yet we mus; con-
fess that all the late accounts from that country,
seem 70 warrant the conclusion, that the question
Of Annexation will bo carried by an overwhelming
majority.
Should this be consumma.ed-shouId Texas
become extinct as nation, and her territory DC
carved into Slave States TO be added from time
to Iime 10 this Union, the consequences cannot
be osherw than mos, disastrous. Our rritory,
in our humble opinion, was already too large to
be harmononsly and well governed-alrcady
q diversity and antagonism OF interests have
sprung up between tho South and the North
already the question Of slavery has become n
topic of increasing excitement-aready we OK
porience tina; want of unauimlty, IN which the
strength Of people consists. Annex Texas
admit several now Slave States into the I nion-
and new and bitter elements of strito-warmer
and moro rreconcablc fcuds, will divide US
people.
The fac, is-and there is no use in attempting
to disguise 1.-THE slave queslon Will, IN conse-
| quence Of this movement, become more and moro
a wall of separation between states where 1t
exists and those whero it does no; oxist. The
| annexation of Texas, with tho avowcd object OF
adding strength to the Slave power has the apple
| of discord or the face Of it. What will this end
/ in! Will oil controversy cease with annexation!
| Will it not, tho contrary, rouse tho dormant
spirit of the North n moro violent opposition TO
Slavery? VIII tho people of the Free States DO
willing to extend the MUS, compromise OF the
Constitution, which allows to The owner OF i've
slaves four votes to his one!
He has but little knowledge of the nature Of
man, who suppose that, however triumphant
party may claim the sanction of ma lority of
the people, to a measure which contains the seed
of so much future jealousy, dissatisfaction and
strife, tho people will tamely acquicsco IN this
change Of their fundamental law. 1t is, in fact,
4 revolution.
Our Const,ution-opr Union-our Govern
ment-our Territory no longer the same.
a new Constitution, Government, and
Territory have taken the place, by Executive
negotiation, of the old--and let tho people of the
South who havo forced and precipltatcd this
measure. beware, lest the people of tho free
States shall consider themselves released from
tho compromise of the Constitution and treat
slavery open question for free discussion
and free action, though such compromise had
never existed. We do not say this would be
right. We should dcporc it. Yet we know
something Of the feeling Which is silently brood
ing and gaining strength in our cnuetry!

Water Cure.

DR.. Tucker, editor Of the Democratic Freeman,
published in Syracuse. relates tho following in
teres.ng case Of water euro, occurring in his
own family:
few weeks since member of our family, n
daughter between fvo and SIX years of age,
attacked with inflammation Of the lungs. Her
symptoms were pronounced Of an alarming
character by skilfuI physician who was called
in to examine her. and tho usual prescription of
blister bleeding with powerful medicines re-
commended. Her fever so high. and the
pain in her head, chest and limbs severe. that
she could not rest day night. We were
advised by friend to try cold water treatment,
instead Of the medicines. With some hestancy
and misgvngs we resolved to do so-conscquent-
ly put the medicines away, as last resort. The
child Invested of oil her clothing and wrap
red in linen sheets of four thicknesses and tho
child covered with blankets. Alto: remaining
in the sheets about hour, they were changed
and 80 repeated during the first day Of trial. On
the return of the paroxysm of the fever on the
second day the wet sheets were applied. and pro-
spiration produced with the first application.
They were then removed and the patient placed
in bed, in f1anno! sheets. where she slept quietly
for three hours. The fever returned again in the
evening and was broken upon in the Same manner.
This course pursued for five days. and nothing
administered to eat or to drink water, cold
crust coffee. The paroxysms becoming less vio-
ons every day. until the sixth day, when there
was none. and the patient was enable to sit up
ana receive light nouri.hment. She soon re-
covered entirely. and is now VOL.
we have made the same application to our
youngest son Of II months. for severe attack of
Group. with like success-the application of cloths
being confined TO the chest and throat.
