The world has long been amused with The non
eaaianee of tho cunning animal wl!o, having losl
his caudal continuation in trap, vent around
TO persuade his brethren that tails were but
troublesome foli;es-a bunder in the economy Of
Nsture-and ought to be dispensed with by conI-
mon consent. The story runs, we believe, that
his efforts were productive rather OF exhibitions
Of ivory than exclusions Of tails.


Reward should have taken lesson from his
Loco Foco fellow.sutferers of the present day
and, without putting himself TO so much iroit'ess
trouble, lust sworn outright that tails were wholly
imaginary appendages, or else had ell been cw
off long ago. True they would not have con
vinced foxes by this logic, but some geese might
have been taken in by it.


For long time, Loco Focosm at the North
has known itself TO be in a very bad FIX on the
Texas Question, and daily losing votes by 1t
Conscientious, upright, reputable men were every
where startled If not repeled by finding theii
party in the position of jusifying and sustaining
medita,ed National villany OF the grossest kind
They have been and are losing votes on thin
question faster than all the Scrpmongers and
lard. jobbers in tho Union can replace them.


The last card therefore, of this desperate and
INSCRIPTIONS party is 10 soothe the conscicnces
Of their hating supporters by vocif,rously assert
ing that Mr.. Clay occupies the same ground as
Mr.. Polk on the Teras Question! lmpudent ano
wicked us this fraud is, it is seriously persisted
in. Bennetts Herald of yesterday, in an article
o,,l h>n hy hr nj
Foco journals and quoted as hom neutral or
even Wing paper, says;


NJ, Clay and Mr.. Pok Soa occupy tis great matter

Every act of Mr.. Polk on this subject has
been in entire conformity with this sentiment,
He was nominated purely because se fot
Immediate Annex ,lion on any terms, while Mr..
Van Buren, made the previous consent o; Mexico
indispensable. Van Buren, said, Under certain
conditions, think Annexation Constitutional and
proper--but not under existing conditions Pcik
said Annexation at all events and al the earlies,
moment. There was difference enough between
them to prostrato Van Buren, and nominate Polk.


Now MIR. Clay not only requires all the condi
tons demanded b. Mr.. Van Burcn, but mere
He insists tha, Texas must not be annexed 10
this country, unless


l. Sne makes peace with Mexico and obtains
f,omthst nation arccosnitiono Of her Independence
or free assent to the Annexation: and.


2. Unul al! the States shall be reconciled 10
the measure. So long as any considerable and
respectable portion the States shal! oSject he main
tains that Annexation must not take place.


III these conditions shall be fulfilled and her
Debt satisfactorily adjusted, Mr Clay would b.
glad to see Texas admitted into the Uniun, And
who then can object When Mexico shall have
consented, and Massachusetts,, Vermont, Ohio.

They who talk OF Mr. Clay having come over
to Folks ground, or any Loco, Foco ground. en-
this subject, know very well that they are decciy

to escape no, from the iniqli.y but from the un,
