the gift OF prophecy and could foresco al
the events which the future holds IN store
IL says that both Of these countries vii
cat the proper time and in proper man
ner be annesed 10 the American Union.
Ii does not intimate wben The "prope,
time viii arrive but, as it says the an
nexation is 10 be performed by the " Dem
ocraiic party" we presume it is no, to Ia Ike
place until the Locofocos come into powe,
again. We have at least four wears in
which TO take possession and secure the
fruits OF the annexng policy already ia our
hands, and cannot have the dimensions al
our territory further extended by annex.
ing Cuba and Canada until nlier The i.h
OF March, 1853. This will give The PEG.
pie time 10 deliberate.
The uai1n, when speaking Of The Loco.
foco party, also says: 1t goes for annex.
alton. licsiablished in spite ct the hos.
tile opposition Of the Wing party, both the
doctrine aud policy of annexation, and /
will be tie party that will admit IN due
lime into this glorious Union both CanaG 4,
and Cuba"
We have but little doubt tha, 10 the next
Presidential contesi the Locofoco party
intend TO inscribe Canada and Cuba on ITS
banners, as il did Oregon aud Texas in
the conies, Of 1871. The party will fnd
u necessary 10 get up some such foreign
issue 10 be used by demagcgues for The
purpose OF humbueging the people. In
1910, when that party relied on ITS past
conduct aHd ITS measures Of internal policy.
IL was routed and mos, signally defeated.
H. ieii II started The policy of annexlng
Texas and Oregon, aud found tha, cry TO
be io,erably popular. We do not assume
too much ahen we say that, il the Lacofl.
cos had mol taken ground in favor of an.
nexing al Of Oregon aud Texas, Mr.. p k
would not have been el,cied. In ISIS The
party appealed u The people FOR support
90 the ground q lis past policy and con.
duet, and, as IN l~i0. II me, with a trc.
meudous defeat The defeats which the
LocoiocOs experienced IN the contests Of
$40 and la -, AID the victory /, achieved
10 1874, have conspred to convince Ms
leaders ths'. 10 ensure success 10 ptesiden.
iial con,r-ls, they must have something
beyond mere Questions Of Sublrrasury aud
ffee.irade to propose to = party. As
The Texas and O,egon questions, which
we're luggej into the canvass OF l-ii TO.
geihei, enabled the party 10 elect Mr..
poh, the leaders will be certain to intro
duce some foreign issues into the contest
OF ls52. Dcy ond all doubt the annexation
Of Canada aud Cubl will be the measure
on which they will rely for success before
tho people. That this is shodowcd forth
in lie Article ~ the Washington Union to
which we have alluded is very clear. Ia
l-J2 the proper time" will have arrived,
aud he people viii be called on to sustain
the LpcnlucGblBnets on which viii be ~.

10 very miserable policy, ior II would he
