Federalism, Disqnionism, and Abotiopisn-
place which, more than all others. was orr.o1
and corruptcd by the late United States Bar,,
th1s paper comes forward to rebukc, as !, doe.
rnanfuliy ard nobly in the name of the "Wbo,
Of the middle and Eastern States" the threat, r.
treason and disnnion in Judge jaws Letter. Rp
what says the Registers Why is he silent, when
treason rears its horrid crest IN the high nIaca.
OF the North and threatens to resist the establish
ed laws Of the land? Does he hate Texas a.
heartily as to love the traitors who would sever
the Union rather than see Texas in it2 Wbere
is the Independent Obi shades of QoultIebum
and of all the "chvalry" What says the Fav.
ettevlle Observer2 Why, be says, in substance
that in annexing Texas we rob foreign govern
ment of its Territory-commit high and fag.
rant misdemeanor before God and in the presence
of the nations; and very coolly advises Mexico
to make war upon US While at this point we
are reminded of the structures OF "Coumbu8
Farmer" upon the course of Mr. Hale; and
cannot close this article better than by giving
them: --- =
"Hhite Harsh, 26th March, 1S45.
Mr.. HOLDEN: see in the last Fayetteville Oh
server that some enemy Of his country hns set his
shoulder to the wheel of dIseord, is encouraging
The people to rise in rebe lion against the late
of Congress, and advises both Mexico and Eng
land TO unite 10 destroy our happy Republic. |
suppose the writer of the article 10 be EdwaJI
Hale Gas he gives author) who has long been
marked an enemy OF the South and friend Of
the North. He tells US that his feelings are 10th
sad and gloomy. and judging from his tone,
should say they were. He is, l understand.
member of the visible Church but instead Of sup
pllcatns for blessings on our country, ne invoke"
curses. He also predicts that war; desolatiun aud
ruin are coming the land, and prays that he may
not live TO see it. If these things should come
though confess am far from being aiarmed-the
who take sides against the country and encourage
foreign nations to declare war against US. ! say
they hypocrites, for they preach what they be-
Iieve not. Before Mr. Clay's Letter against an
nexing Texas appeared, to my certain knowledge
every Wing in these parts who expressed himself
al ALL was strongly in favor of annexation, but at-
ter that letter was seen, all of them opposed the
measure until after the election; and now, since
the act OF Congress has passed TO restore the lone
star, all my Whig acquaintances aP2ea: TO be we'll
pleased!
Both the Editors of the Observer and Whining.
on Chronicle speak Of rhe sad darkness OF thG
Sixth Congressional District; but dark as our sIua-
ion Is, we have light enough 10 see the question:
,e spots in the hearts of these gentry and though
hey tell US we fools, we nevertheless thank
iod that we have sense enough TO steer clear OF
heir pernicious doctrines, and TO see that they and
heir party are doing all they can in disguise 10 in
luce Mexico and England to declare against
Is, and to urge Massachusetts and the aboitionisI'
O break up the Union. IF South Carolina hap,
ens TO complain frankly and boldly Of the acts oi
Congress, these Editors forthwith cry out NUllh-
alton, and denounce treason, &c; but when The
North comes out in plain language and tells me
South that they will dissolve the Union, 1t is ah
light. and no rebuke is uttered Another woS.

Democratic Whiegeiv; for the Observer PLAINLY
ellis his readers that Democracies are always as-
ressive, and that the promptings of rhe masses
re always for war-as good as to say that oil rte
