that the courts have decided than The former

in plain English they have been gdmmoned.
They denounce those who desire the Maine

FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
JOHN WADDELL, Of COshOctOn Co.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-02-04

Dut moi even this sufnced 20 open te ewes Of those
who could remedy the evil. The policy Of the North
continued to exercise its fascination upon some pre-
occupied individuals, and these continued to pro-
claim a. q principle Of glory and happiness that
which had been the cause of our ignominy and our
misfortune. They imagined that reactionay pro-
jects threatened the country they feared that con-
thetica thrones and imaginary kings they once more
threw themselves into the arms OF the North, and
were once more entrapped IN tine snares OF US
nsidous policy. 1t really is painfully humiliating to
see that the puerty of our public men should have
reached such point. While il was one of the most
pressing necessities of the nation to repress ultra
democratic tendencies they were afraid Of the iniu-
ence which mOnarchical countries might exercise
here, and went to cover beneath the mantle OF Amer
lean demagoguism-to cry for assistance in repel-
ing the dreaded spectre. Thus did the dove take re-
fuge in the talons of the hawk.
Facts have demonstrated that the men OF the
North were astute and those of Mexico simple, even
to imbecility. In l847 we were sufficiently divided
to enable another nation to seize upon half OF our
country; now perhaps, we are sufficiently 80 to ena-
BILE them to seize the whole Of it. The dissOlvng &C
ton Of system has not ceased one j0 and to 1t Is
doubtless owing the presence Of the terrible symp-
toms surrounding the republic on every side; to it
will be due the separation Of some States If the I'M
fortunate idea should that to live they do not
depend upon their union with one another or with
the centre Our system and our men win then have
put the finishing stroke to their work OF perdti0n
the United States will have obtained the object Of
their intrgues, and Mexico will ut length be bl0tted
out from the catalogue Of nations.
However painful it may be to indulge in these re-
Elections. we cannot forego them, for they are, in
fact, more than mere refections-they are well
founded calculations, based upon probable hypothe-
ses-upon evident, well-known facts, and up0n the
sad lessons Of bitter experience. Perhaps it is not
necessary, for the vndicaton Of these, that our
present troubles should produce their worst effect,
which is the separation Of which We speak I; the
mere prolongation of the present state OF things
may be enough for il is sufficient incentive to the
ambition of the neighborng republic.
The dangers of which we speak are now greater
than ever, in consequence Of the election to power
in that republic of the candidate of the ultra party
of that party which, under the cloak Of liberty,
would carry the dominion Of the stars and stripes to
all the countries of the continent. We must not
forget then that if, under the presidency OF Polk,
the Americans came to rob US Of our territory by
taking advantage of our dissensions, there is no
reason why they should not do the same now that
our dssensions are greater and our strength less.

considerable velocity, the bible was again
