A MIRROR FOR THE LOCOS.

From the Albany Argus, May IL, 1914
The Washington Spectator. Mr.. Cal
hons organ while lauding Com. Stewards
letter in favor ofimmediate annexation Tex
as. aludes to the probability os war with
Mexico in tone of levity if not of joy Ii
would be well for such politicians TO remem-
her that wars are not so popular as in for
mer times. People beg in TO reflect and com
pare its results before they plunge into its
miseries. 1t is preceived that wars underra-
ken for the extension of dominion exalt the
leaders and managers. while they crush and
impoverish the masses.
The trappings Of the war-horse and the
glitter of armed lesions, tickle the fancy and
please the eye, but the people see that they
place leGdeH iceiehf upon the hand o hon
est labor. 1t is for this reason that true states
men regard ,cdIs undertaken for such selfish
purposes AS ONE OF THE GREA FEST
EVILS THAT CAN AFFIICT A
COUNTRY"
From the Democratic Review, April, 1913.
Nor ought the annexation to be made
without the consent of Mexico on her recog
milton Of the independence of her successfully
revolted province. We must duOid eren the
appedrdnce of eriL, 1t is not enough that we

never again hope to shake the independence
of Texas. The nominal, theoretical right
is still asserted, which we cannot disregard
WITHOUT MOURNING A JUST LIABILITY TO
DECLARATION OF MAR BY MEXICO"
From the Boston Post Nov. lS43.
The Atlas is beating the air about the ad-
mission of Texas into the Uuion. The Cab
met atW ashingtou, and all the folks this 'cdy
are opposed to such measure. Mr.. Pres
ton, Mr.. Wise and few opposition member:
of Congress, are in favor of it; but they have
not strength enough to do any HARM
From the n. H. Patriot, May, 1874.
Slavery, and defence Of Slavery, from the
controlling consideration urged in favor Of
the Treaty (of annexation) by those who have
been engaged in its negotiation.
| To these doctrines we can never subscribe
and whenever they are Extensively urged upon
the free States, they deserve to be pointedly
| rcbuhed."
From the Nashua Gazette, Nov. IL. 1913
The evils that will be en- tailed upon III,
North by the admission Of Texas into the
Union are incaLcuIabte, great, vast-beyond al
human comprehension.
The object and design throughout
AS BLACK AS lNK-AS BITTER AS
| HE'LL. No other reason on earth can be
assigned for this southern movement than a
determination TO perpetuate that accused in
stitution which, as a matter Of compromise
was aoceeded TO by the North at the time Of
the adoption of the articles of confederation.
"Ifrhe south persists in forcing Texas up
on us, the result is evident TO all. The con-
sequences are multilarious-to say nothing
of their ruin. May Providence arert this ca
Lamity-and sare our Republic from disaniOn
misery and destruction"
From the Dover Gazette. Nov. 3d. S43.
The most Wicked. rile, God abandoned
place f1chich IRE hare any kno'otedge-its
history would make the savage blush will
very shame. Some of its lynchers and ma
RAIDERS have perpeirated their crimes within
the U. 5. and upon American citizens, some
of whom they have murdered in cold blood
in the most inhuman manner. Yet there are
some who desire 10 effect union between
Texas and this country, as il we had not E.
nough guilt and crime already, upon ou
shoulders. We irish rather that lre could fla
an impossible gUlfbetreen us and its borders
that lis breath Of pestlence might nerer reaei
our shores. HEAVEN SAVE Us FROM A UNION
WITH TEXAS"
