I iiilir such circumstances, I could not hut regard the
annexation ol I , \ is, hi this time, as eninpromitling the

sympathies of all Christendom would ho against u*. and
endangering the integrity ol the I'liion. I thought iluu
and sill believe, that national dishonor, foreign war,

Hilt, gentlemen, you are desirous of knowing hy what
p di -v I would Im guided, in the event of my election as
( liit Magistrate id the I niied States, ill refereneo to
the qiti -tion i f the annexation of Texas. I do tint think
t right to mm 111 nee. in advance, what will he ihe course

I reign power. | have, however, no hesitation in say
mg, that, f.iMront having any personal objections to the
anm \molt id ‘Texas I should lie glad to sen n, w ith
ot dishonor, without war, with the common coimu.t
i the I'm,m, and upon just and lair terms. Ido not
lliiiik that the subject id slavery ought to nlfeot the ques
tiun, one way or the other. Whether 'Texas It# mile
pendent, or incorporated in the rutted Stales. I do not
oelieve it w ill prolong or shorten die duration of that in
siitutton. I' is destined to become extinct, at some
<h-unt day, in my opinion, hy the operation ol the movi
ia ilo laws of population. It would he unwise |u refuse
i permanent acquisition, which w ill exist ns long as the
g he remains, on account id a temporary institution.
In the contingency of my election, to w hich you have
adverted. ifth# alfnr of acquiring Texas should become
a subject of eon-ideation, l should be governed by the
He «*t farts, and the slate ot public opinion existing at
the tune | might be called upon to net. Above all. |
-h. uld bo governed hy the paramount duty of preserving

the amount nr his liabilities u the Hank at tin- date ol
tlte letter of attorney, the I7llt of September, 1839. The
bill uf exchange in question was drawn in favor of one
only of tho Constituents in the power: and the agent rn,
dorsed the name ol him first on the lull, and of "the oth

founded two actions on the bill, treatin r the en
dorsements in one ns the several and successive on
dursements ol the constituents, and in the other treating
the endorsement as one juitit endorsement of all iltc eonsftl j
ncnft. The ^ncslions to b^ determined bj the court wire,

The court decided, the i »r learned Jo Igca, Stauard,

Mild ’.idly, that the endorsements were mit joint within

WHO ARE WII'll THE ABOLITIONISTS? !
Mr. f\ ebslir V late speech at SpringAeld, (Mussuehn- |
setts,) in which lie oppose* the annexation ni'Texas, un .
the ground that it will hatre a tendency to extend the
ana of slavery, w hiclt lie regards a vi ihuion of the cun
s.ilolional compact—although, in the same speech he '
lakes the broadest and boldest ground against the at
tempts of the Abolitionists to interfere with the institu- j
tion id slavery ns it now exists, as equally an infringe- j
inint of constitutional guarantees—furnishes a Iruitful
text for the Lncolbco papers and orators nl the South, '
upon which they have se soil with great avidity, though
we find it nowhere ii.-ailiuj by the political allies of licit
parly nt the J\Oi'iu. \\ tietlier Mr. \\ i>hster*s position
he sound or n it, it is undeniable that the ground lie occu
pies is identical with that upon which the Northern Lo
r linens, whether friendly or hostile to tho annexation of
Texas, stand. And w e have yet to learn how and why
il ls, that u sentiment, which, when uttered by Mr.
Webster, is so nffuisive to the sensibilities of Southern
Loco*, when prod,limed by Messrs. Ingersoll, Barker,
Sedgwick, Wilkin:;, and other prominent Locos, is re
ceived by these same Smlhern men out only w ithuut de
nunciation, hut with their tacit assent.
For example—Messrs. Ingersoll and Wilkins, of
Pennsylvania, arc both decided advocates of the annexa
tint ol Texas: But do they desire It for the purpose of
upholding tin: institution of slavery, or of increasing he
relative power of the Southern Stales in the councils ol
the nation? Far from it. On the contrary, they em
phatically deny that it ts either designed nr calculated to
throw new guaranties around the rights of the Smith,
by increasing its representativep over in the national coun
cils. '1 hot- contend that its immediate effect, on the other
hand, will he to aircngthen the nun-elai'choldiiur Stales
inasmuch ns ouly about one fifth of Texas is adopted to
stave labor, awl const ijuenily, that of the five Stales
w hich wi ll probably lie carved out of it, only one will lie
admitted into the Union as a alavchnldiinr Stale and
the oilier four na I rue Slates,-while its ultimate effect
will be still farther In weaken theslave Slates, bv faeih
biting emancipation to Maryland, \ irginiii, North Car
olina, Kentucky and I eoiii ssep, and paving the way
lor the entire abolition of slavery upon this continent.—
If, inti- ed, the argument which ihey address to the North
in enlist the people of that region to favor ofannexatioo’
he just, then Ceil. Waddy 'Thompson was not wrwo’
whin lie allirined that the annexation of Texas will lie
.me of the strongest auxiliaries to .it,edition liial has
er yet been suggested, even, by the Fanatics themselves
Am] we taken lor granted, that, but, Ibr the entire eon
lidenee of Messrs. Ingcistill and Wilkins in the soomlness
III III, ir conclusions, they would not themselves he found
in luvor ol a policy, which is advocated, in the South,
lor reasons so dtaniotrieally opposite to their own

In August, 1840, the vote t«*r Governor stood as lol
lows: I.etcher (w hig) 54,91)9, French (loco) 39,845_
At the Presidential election, in the same year, Gen
Harrison received 58,489, and Mr. Van Horen 32,(il(>
it appears, then, that, notwithstanding the itiminitheil
majority of the W'liigs now, they have given a lirrgee
rote than they til l in 18 Id, either in August nr m NV
vomber—larger, hy 4,347 than in August, and hy 85/
than in November; and yet the W hig majority is less, of)
by nearly 111,(100 than it was in August 1810, arid less ”
| hy 20,000 than itwasin November of that year! In
I Other words, the W bigs gave nearly 5.000 voles morn
to August, 1844, than they did in August 1840, while the
l.ocns gave 15,OOU mure—the Whigs have given 857
| votes more now than they gave at the Presidential elec
, ti"t> in 1840, while lilts' l.ocns have given 22,000
more ! I ! Our opponents have certainly “gained”
greatly, but it is manifestly nut by encroaching un the
Whig ranks—the vote showing that Clay is even stron
ger in Kentucky than Harrison was. My what means
they have so miraculously augmented their vole in four
years, without diminishing that of their opponents, is g
curious subjoin of enquiry, and deserves a separate chan
ter in Maltbns’s "Theory of Population.”
. The Hopkinsville (ky.) Gazette, published in the
Green River section uf the Slate, thus accounts fur
Owsley’s small majority:—" Fite Green River section
from the first strongly opposed to Judge Owsley,and by
their delegation in the ontivenlien last winter votirga
gairist him eu rim»-r, could not be reconciled by ihentun
inaliun c: Mr. Dixon. Judge Owsley has nothing in
Ins name or in his deeds to make hi in popular here. 11s
cannot electioneer, is but an indifCrnnt speaker,* cold
and listless in his manner, and however well qualified
fur the office of Governor, is no wise calculated for an
available candidate. Ho was brought nut and suppor
ted hy a few leading papers in tin- North, without pav
. mg the least regard to the w ishes of llm South, and the
consequence is, as was well known and foretold at tho
j time, the Whig majority has been cut down. Our
northern friends would roil him, and therefore with them
rests the blame. Judge Owsley is a man whom we
highly res|ieci: hut how, woask, will lie compare with
such men as Underwood, Moreheador Thompson? He
Ins been a dull, heavy drag un Ins patty. No better re
sult could have been expected.”
INDIANA ELECTION.
The following official ststsmeni from the Whig Cen
tral ( imiiuiitee ol the St tte ol Indians confirms uur pre
vious intelligence of a glorious Whig triumph itt that
State. I lie majority in the Legislature secures the e
leetinn of a Whig United Stales Senator in the place of
Mr. \\ liiio, and is a sure guaranty that the State will
give ns ileetmil vote to .Mr. Ci.av in November:
It nits C e.vi'k.u. Committee Room,
Indianapolis, August 10, 1844.

DIANA IS REDEEMED, and has again taken her
true position among the patriotic Whig States uf tho
I .’ninii.
1 lie returns an in. and the grand result is that wo
have carried the LF.GISLATL UF, as well as the POP
l L A R \ () 1 F., and the flag of the United Stales floats
in liiiimph over our beloved Sidle.
\\ e luid to contend against fearful odds, but we have
overcome all . slides, and tin State is safe. A majori
ty ul n n last year against usun joint ballot to reverse—
the Executive puuer. patronage, and personal exertions
aeaius: us—the foreign voters, tm,generally induced to
Vole against us, undi r the impres-iori that it was their
interest to do so. in which they must soon see (list they
have been deceived by uur opponents—the Texas ques
tion has brim used with great power and ingenuity a
gatust us, but we think without serious effect—the sys
tem id boasting and bragging lias been brunght to liur
upon llm wavering l.y our opponents, and many bavs
been deceived by it, intdtiding some uf our friends in
other States, who have echoed hack the sound with
doubts and torcbedings—still the patriotic Whigs ol In
diana have sustained themselves in a manner worthy of
their former reputation and their gloriuuscause.
We do not deem it necessary In give more than tbs
aggregate result of the members elected to the Legisla
ture, as compared with the risult last year, as that is
the best test we ran give uf the political complexion uf
the State, as evidenced by the late election. We feel
justified in declaring that tile State will east her vute in
November fur CLAY and FRF.LINGIIUYSEN by
thousands, w hen all loeal and min :r considerations will
he merged in the great contest for the prosperi'y and
hnppme.-s of the pi i pie and lie preserve tii n of our glo.

that INDIANA IS REDEEMED.
