ssspa Ofthat apostate party 10 otder before tbe
world. Immediately after the Mexican
- people had succeeded in throwing of the
.ss5 spanish yoke, they sbO!ished slavery
.y throughout the entire rePubIIc, 30 that not
sfo,t Of It's vast teuitiry was disgIsced
By the presence of slave. Instantly up
on this. the Slave d mOcracy commenced
series cf iDtrigues and machnations to
dismember that Republic aud to extend
d. slavery into its free territory. These re.
.-s suited m The Texan revolution. carried on
exclusively BY American Shareholders and
rs IheiF fiihbusleriug tools, against the free
and sister republic OF Mexico. This com.
nenced under the administration Of Mar
tin Van BuFsn, and with the aid and con.
.uivance Of the Slave Democracy Of that
ra8 day. As soon as the independence Of
Ice Texas was extorted from, though not re
eognizsd BY Mexico, slavery was re-estab.
sii lished there; and is annexation to tie
q. United States, as Slave Territory, was ef-
,H, fected in ie46, under the Slave Democrat.
'- ie sdmistratiOn Of Pres'L Polk. By this
ss operation Freedom was abolished and Sla-
very established by the Slave Democracy,
over 325,520 square miles Of territory, con
adtdting an area, larger BY more than 90,-
1000 square miles, than all the original
q thirteen States put together; and larger,
by more than $4,000 square miles, than all
the free States in the Union at the time Of
annexation. This Infamous procedure of
s.. essabIishing Slavery in Texas, and annex
tito the Union, was an assumption Of pow
r sf not warranted by the Constitution; and
like plucking and eating the forbidden
v fruit By our first parents, has plunged the
nation into series ofcriIDes which, unless
"a speedily repented Of and abandoned. will
place US beyond the reach Of hope for the
salsaGion of freedom. It was tremen.

sz every honest, but delOded man, Of the

"a more than $4,000 square miles Of the e.
nest coil, blessed with the finest climate of
tue Globe, for no other purpose under
Heaven, than that It might be cursed by
the imprecations Of countless generations
Of helpless, hopeless and degraded bond.

This annexation Of Texas. was the sole
cause Of The Mexican war which followed.
That paF was provoked and prosecuted by
= tie elass Democracy, for the sole purpose /
of exsinguisbing freedom where itexisted.
This was easily accomplished BY the ap
pIication to that end OF the superior power
sna resources Of che United States But
this war was prosecuted BY the Slave, De-
mocraGy, & an expense of three hundred
