SHALL BE SLAVE STATES +!

But this is not all that resolution was defeated
since that date the War has been going on; New
Mexico and the CALIFORNIA; have been summarily
annexed and the President proposes to confirm
these CoNQUEsTs by erecting Notifications. Con-
gress has now been three weeks in session, and now
lChere is Mr.. UiLmot? What Democrat has vet
raised one note of warning against this wholesale
acquisition of Slave Territory? Who ofthem has
dared to lisp the tantest syllable against further
prosecuting this war for the requirement of more
Slave States below 36 30? Wings have dared to
denounce the war; Wings are demanding the cor
respondence of the administration with the Com
modores and Captains, who have annexed New
Mexico and the CALIFORNIA; Wings are for hold
ing the administration to its responsibility and eX-
posing its policy to the gaze Of the world. But no
note is yet raised by Northern Democrats.
This Wilmot resolution was ruSe-a sheer
piece of lrckery, TO reconcile the free North to the
War and to the Polk policy-oflered by Free
Trade Member of Congress from Pennsylvania AS
such, Northern locoiocOs voted for it. These very
men had the DISPATCHES of Mr.. Calhoun before
them, which we have quoted, showing that SLAVE
RY was at the bottom; they voted for the Texas
resolutions, knowing that they were to extend slave
ry; they admitted Texas with eternal Slavery

such case the protective principle would raise tho

THE TAX ON MUSLIN.


0Mr. Wevand views the Tariff law of
LISP as very unequal in its operation,
"uniust and oppressive to the people gen
erallv. The wearer of 10 cent muslin,
"unIer the act of 1912, pays the same
" tax that the wearer of 40 cent muslin
- does. This he considers oppressive,
"because the poor man who wears mus
"Iin at 10 cents a yard should not pay as
"heavv tax as the rich man who wears
"it at 40 cents. Genius Of Liberty.
The above are AIr. Weyand's views OF
the Tariff of 1912, in SO far as relates to
the "rAx' upon muslin, said to be paid
bv the "wEARER" thereof. Now let US
evpmiue into the facts and see whether
Mr.. Weyand is sustained by them.
The duty which the Tariff of 1912
imposed upon muslins, was upon THE
roRFIcN ARTICLE ALONE, which, IN conse-
ouence of that duty, has been driven from
the American market, and the musllns
that are now in general use, whether they
be worth 10 cents per yard or 40 cents,
are of DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES, UPON
ypu1ru THERE IS NO DUTY WHATEVER. as
every body knows. So far from MPoR-
TING foreign muslins and calicoes and
compelling the ''poor man TO pay hea-
w "tax" upon them, we are annually
EXPORTING those articles in large quantl-
ties after having supplied the home mar
ket. VIII any free trader deny this fact!
No: even James X. Polk himself will
not denv it, for it is matter Of record that
we exported last year cotton goods to the
amount of four and half millions OF dol
lars. some of them to the British colo
nies. Yet in the face of these facts 1t Is
attempted to humbug the people by telling
them that they are compelled by the Tar
ifr Of 1912 to pay a tax upon their mus
Inns! IL any free trader chooses to give
4 preference TO British muslns and pay a
duty upon them, he may do so: he can no
doubt procure the article from the British
manufacturer by sending to England for
it, or perhaps even from some British
AGENT here; but that is no reason why
anybody else, especially ."the poor man"
should refuse to buy and wear the domes-
tic article, which is not inferior in quality
and can at all times be had duty fee.
eeU Since the above was written we
called on one of our merchants, who has
lust returned from the East with heavy
stock Of goods; and upon inquiry we
learned from him, that of 100 pieces Of
calico purchased by him, 9S were manu-
facured in this country and 2 in Great
Britain, and that his entire stock OF mus
lin was of American manufacture. VIII
the Genius be good enough TO figure out
the amount of ''tax" that the Tariff act
Of 1912 imposes upen the "poor men
the purchas ers and wearers of those 9S
pieces of calico and all those muslinS!
