yictions of truth and justice l. not because
he was unprepared to saddle the Union, already
staggering beneath an immense indebtedness,
with an unknown and underlined national debt
Is it not because he.thought it unjust and i'm

uniustiiable war, the boundless expenses neces-
sarily attendant upon its successful prosecution,
without calculating the valuable blood which
would be split, of the agony Of de1late widows,

it because Henry Clay prefers his own country's

diate annexation We believe the atter-and
every candid and thinking man must come to
the same conclusion after proper reflection.
We appeal to all sensible and patriotic Wings
not to suffer themselves to be caught by this
miscra BILE rattrap Of annexation. 1t is the last
card of our desperately hopeless opponents
Are any of you, then, fellow Wings, willing to
allow yourselves to be made TOOLS of-to be USED
by reckless political gamblers, whose all is
stakcd upon Dragging high-npon distorting
iacts-upon garbled statcments-and by un.
|scrupulously msrepresenting the actions and
1 the motives of our standard bearer? We think
not.


| If the question Of immediate annexation was
a paramount one-if all other issues faded into
insgnlfcance before 1.-THE people of the South
should go en- masse for Henry Clay in preference
to James X. Polk if the course of the latter is to
be judged by the actions of the Democratic
party. Henry Clay and the Wing party will
maintain the independence of the Republic of
Texas. and her domestic institutions, nyioate,
against any foreign attempts at subjugation
/ or colonization. The Democratic party, now
supporting James X. Polk for the Presidency,
on tho immediate annexation hobby 60 in for
/ the creation Of FREE STATES out Of what is at
present SLAVE TERmroRY Henry Clay, and the
| Whig party, 90 for sustaining Texas AS SIZE IS
until the annexation can be effected on homo
raLle terms. The Democratic party is rampant
for immediate annexation on any terms, no mat
ter how disgraceful, and for the ADJUSTMENT of
SLAVERY in the largest portion of the territory
proposed to be acquired.


BENroN's Texas ANNEXATION BILL, which,
well Tor the South, was laid on the table of the
United States Senate by the patriotic cxertions
Of the Wings of that body, every Democratic
senator, with one exception, voting against the
motion to lay on the table, divided what was to
be FREE and SLAVE territory, as follows In one
hundred and tBirty-cight thousand square miles
SLAVERY was to be FOREVER PROHIBITED! J.!
The number of square miles IN which the bill
allowed slavery to be tolerated, was one hundred
and hirty.fUe thousand-thus giving decided
preponderance TO the free states


The Democrats show their love to the South,
and to Southern institutions, by advocating and
endeaYoring 10 pass into law such an odious
and destructive bill The Wings, by voting
it Gown The people Of the South are fully
competent to judge, from this significant cir
cumstance, who are their friends, and at the
ballot box will rebuke, in tones of thunder, the
