POLITICAL DUPLiCITY.
Ma EDlroR, My attention has been directed from
reading some Of your remarks 10 more parucu-
lar perusa of the sheet calling itself he Worcester
County Gazette and find that instead Of adv ancrg any
in character of late, il literally wakes worse d
worse" and grows more labid and reckless IT'S pc
tical fortunes decrease lis writers il seems have
ceased to wander " into any of error decep-
ton which might selfish purpose. Why, bors
10 deng in TRADE of some half colu.n IN length,
that the annexation Of Texas originated and
summated from determination on the part Of the
Southern Democracy to perpelgaie The institution Of
slavery" The Liberty State Address entirely re.
flutes the Gazette writer's ialsi,y, and puts the guih of
the annexation and the right quarter IT says:
ssThe guilt of this anomalous condition, Tdif-
6culties with Mexco,] which is neither lawful
war nor honorable peace, is justly TO be charged
to the so called Democratic party, which he's in
volved us in it by its shameless servity to the
Slave Power. 1t has grolcn out of the series Of
frauds, raise pa l~~Aiif.,l nnovetnents
by which the annexation of Texas 10 this Union
was consummated."
To assist It's false reasoning the Gazette makes this
direct assertion "1he Wing Senate confirmed J..hn
Cahoun's nomination for Secretary of State because
he was IN fauor Of annexation /" A greater iasehood
never was uttered; for those same Wing Senator's only
two months from thai time, uoted unanimously against
Calhoun's Treaty Of Annexation And also voted af
erwards with almost equal uuanimay, against annex
alton by joint resolution; and yet the Gazette ricrs
assert thai those :" Wing Senators confirmed J. Cal
houn for Secretary bcduse he in favor of
Gon !" idea too absurd and preposlerous for COM
ment.
The Gazette states OF Charles Sumner that " The
man and bis speech lin The State Conventoul have both
been dsowned and denounced by the leading Wings
and VIII presses" 10 prevent any persons being de.
ceiyed ~ such graiuous assertion is well 10 state
he fact that MIR summers speech tie Convention was
most universally and overwhelming applauied and
with the exception Of p<pcrs in Boston. the
Wing papers Of the State have said nothing but APP
proyal Of the man aud his speech has been published
in full or by extract in many Of them.
The Gazette says, nducenent for Wings to
vote the Liberty ticket, that Liberty men require
Wings Ienounce principle Of protection which they
may hold . thal there are in the Liberty patty
syho are in favor Of as high tariff for protection as
any Wings. Very inducing considering that Mr. Biz
.aey het greatest candidate, on the Of the PreS
Dental election declared his views 10 be in favor Of the
recslue sta udard, with Incidental occid aof
,,aotaeton Just such Mr. Polk has saddIed upon
the country by his new tariff while the Wings and
theircaG5idate hT Clay declared for Tic ioaly different
policy Of adequate pro ciion established by the law
Of 3242 10 much iJT the assertion that tie Liberty
party" organization as much for proecton the
Wigs We do not The great body Of Liberty
tNen, but some Of their designing leaders for we know
The ofthat party honest aud are really in
favor Of thai sound and adequate protection Northern
industry which the Wings desire. Accordingly il
that the last Emancpator devotes half column
an attempted seiuaton Of one Of Mr. HuDsoE's geat
tariff speeches.
"John G. Calhoun confirmed bya tVhig Senate
because he in favor Of annexation and The Mass
Spy congratulated the country the mise and hapDu
choice which The Wing Senate had been able to make j
says "A " in the Gazette being two unqualified false
hoods foe the first place the Senate could exercise
40 choice the matter, il being lis province 10 consent
floor reject the CHOICE Of The President accurding
as be nominee shall possess not the constitutional
qualifications appropriate for the Office III that Senate
could have had choice Of nomination. il would Of course
have selected some Wing or anti-annexaonst as lis
majority heavily that wayl In the second place
ihe Spy neoe congratulated the country OIL the soise
aud happy choice III which the Senate" the words Of
had made" Here is what the spy said, on the
reception oflbe news of Cahoun's confirmation After
aIluding to the consideration that only political OPP
ponent could be expected 10 hold that office under
President Tyler and expressing more confidence in the
moral integrity and intellectual qualifications of Mr. Cal
oun than most other Of his party, and for that
