such dangerous institution created Ii he IS elect
ed, it will be taken for granted that the people are
hostile to the remuneration OF TEXAS, and Texas
will never be ours, except at the expense ola Ait
If he is not that great national measure will pro-
baby succeed quietly and honorably, with the aps
probation of the people Of both Republics. Had
Mr. Claws Letter never been written, and had he
adhered to his first opinions Texas, we believe
that Texas would this day hare been ours IN
PEACE and HONOR. Ii is FALSE, come from
what quarter il may, to ascribe to US or to the
democratic party of the South, hostility TO the
Union no matter what NAV be the result
of our Texas negotiations. We resent it as
an insult and an honorable opponent in politics
will not use the weapon he knot0s to be poisoned.
We 90 for the UNION AND TEXAS-TEX-
AS AND THE UNION-but for the UNION,
" Tezas OF no Texas" Such are also the senti-
ments of Col. Polk-the declared sentiments OF
the democratic party-the known feelings and
opinions OF the democracy of North Carolina
and he who writes or speaks otherwise of us is a
sIandersr of his nelghbors to serve party-mas-
teri So it is FALSE, come from what quarter 1t
may that as the advocates of Texas annexation
we would involve the nation in acaT or dashon0T.
Whenever the annexation can take place honora-
bly and in peace, Col Polk is in favor of it, and
so are his supporters, whether " respectable por-
ton of the people" called abolitionsts willing
or not We take that ground. We have assum-
ed no other; and we bid you mark the fact, that
not single public meeting in North Carolina
and the Clay party have had great number of
them since this question sturted-has ventur-
en- to express an opinion to the contrary.
