Origin Of the Mexican War--Secret History.

Ii has been matter Of much dispute us to
the responsibility Of the Mexican War. The
Wings. from the beginning, have attributed the
war to the manner in which Texas was admiued
into the Union. The Democrats have denied
this position. The Wings, as a parry, voted
against the act Of annexation. The Democrats.
as party, voted for it. This matter has now
been fully cleared up by The letters of Messrs.
Tappan and Blair. Mr.. Toppan was in the Sc.
nate when the act was passed-took an active
aud decided par in the passage Of the act, and
Of course must have known all the facts and cir.
.cumslances connected with the ,ransaction.-
To these letters we call the special attention Of
our readers. They show what ats and devices
ambitious and designing men can resort to in
order to accomplish their ends, They also
show what means the slave power is willing to
employ to extend and strengthen itself in our
country. The whole scheme of annexation
was scheme Of niquity, and one of the first
fruits Of il was the war with Mexico. Time will
disclose other and still more bitter fruits.

The Tariff Of 1876

Facts daily accumulate, showing that if Ger.

to strike alarm 10 the hearts of all dependant.
in any measure. up on the prosperity ofour iron;
cotton and WOODEN manufactures. Yesterday
we reverted 10 this subj,c C., and gave some
facts. To-day, we add the following, from The
Philadelphia News, and ask the candid attention
of every man not wholly besoued by his at.
lachmenlS TO party. American manufacturers.
artizans, mechanics and farmers. are robbed of
the retcards of their labor, by the Tariff of
l846.-there is no safety but in lis repeal. and
the substitution of the Tariff of 1912.
We perceive by a statement in Wilmer and
Smiths European Times, that in the three
weeks from 10Th of June, TO The tOlh of july,
there were exported from Liverpool 16. .483 ions
of iron, 1858 of which was shipped 10 The U:
nted States. To the British Possessions, 900
tons. To all other parts of the world, 1910
tons.
Eighty-two and an half per cent. Of all the
| iron exported from Liverpool for these three
weeks being sent in here 10 the great injury of
our iron works! And this entirely owing 10 the
Tariff Of 1886.
Let us examine this advaorem Tariff, and
see how 1t works. In June, 1924, bar iron. in
England was seven pounds sterling per ton.-
In January, 1895, it was fourteen pounds-and
it fell in the same year 10 len pounds. In 1895.
1927, it was nine pounds. while il fell in 1889,
10 f4l5. In June, 1914, the price was f6, in
July E7,l5, III October, E8,t5, in December.
flo. Thus it will be seen that 10 1889, so per
cent. duty, would have produced S6,s4 per
ton, while in December, 1894. it would have
been $3.50, and in January, 1894, s2o,16,

General Taylor opposed 10 the Extension
Of Slavery.

So says the Washington Union, Mr.. Cass's
chief organ. He will not veto any bill. TO pre-
vent slavery from being extended over the new
territories. SO believes Mr.. Corwin that noble
defender of freedom, and so believe thousands
of anli-Savery men in the North, who would
sacrifice the Wing party and scatter it TO the
winds, did they believe otherwise, before they
would vote for him. Facts are daily accumula
Ting in favor Of the old Generals position on
this point, and the Cass men are indusriOusly
circulating them at the South for the purpose OF
njuring his prospects in the slave States. Here
in Pennsylvania it is certainly Cass or Taylor.
This is before all question. Cass has declared
he will Uete the WiimOt ProuiSO, if he is elect.
ed. Taylor has declared he will not interpose
the veto, against the declared will of the peo-
pie. What is The duty then, Of every Free Soil
man in Pennsylvania We leave every man 10
answer to his own conscience-but asking hi:
attention TO the following article from the Wash
ington Union, of August 9th:
TAYLOR OPPOSED TO SLAVERY EXTENSION -
There can be no doubt about General Taylor
being opposed 10 the extension Of Slavery
His letters TO General Gaines and the Cincnna
ii Signal are proof Of this fact. That he live.
in slave State is no argument that he wishes it:
extension. Thousands of the citizens Of the
South believe Slavery to be wrong in every as
pecI in which il can be viewed.
The following, from the Philadelphia News
is additional evidence on this subject:
can intelligent friend, lately from BatoI
Rouge, Louisiana, called at our office the othe

Hy,lroclardec, and thousand of plants with
difficult names, as another wanld have talk

can things BY their right Names

/ An affair occurred in town n Vermont
short time since, which, in spite of the Sc
robustness of the subject with which 1t was
connected, must have been exceedingly lu-
dicrous, and which illustrates the necessity
of calling things by their right names. A
deacon OF the church, as usual, went to the
store with his jug for some wine for COM
munion, and in calling for it, instead OF cal
ling Tor wine as he should, be said he would
take d" little more OF that OIL" The store
keeper (yery ignOrdntly probably,) filled up
the jug with oil and NO mistake, aud the
deacon went home The accident was not
discovered, aud the oil went upon the COM
nunon table and was partaken OF by the
church-no one wishing at that particular
time TO make the result of his discovery
known.
