The Democracy And Texas

Last week, we published a confidentiö. circular, so called, signed W. C. Bry ant, Editor of the N. Y. Evening Post nnd otlier leaders of the Democratie pai ty, stating the embarrassedposition ofth party on account of their havingmade th admission . of Texas one of the issues o the present political contest, To avoic this embarrassment, the signers proposec to vote for Polk and Dallas, hut woulc run candidates for Congress, who are op posed to Annexation. We do not sce how this would help the party out of it trouble. It would rather increase it. I would bring up the whole question ío dtscussion in the party ranks, and pro duce díssensions where there should be Union. "A house divided against itseif cannot stand." The Post and the Plebeian have ha( a coTitroversy on the subject. The following extract fromthe Post will interes our readers. It ie an omen for good: 'fWs do not intend to recognizo the annexation of Texas as an issue between the two great political pnrties. It cannot be made so with safety to the democratie party in this State at least. It is only by taking the ground markedout in the letter, adopting the nomination of Polk and Dallas, but rejecting the intërpolated question of annexing Texas, and leaving that to be an open question in the part)' - it is thus only that the democratie party can be saved from dcfeat throughout the state. A letter from one of the western counties of this State says:"Already in this county men of character and influence, whö have always acted with us hitherto, have avowed their determination to abandon Mr. Polk and vote for Mr. Birney, or elserefrain from voting at all, while a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the course of the Baltimore Convention prevades the minds of many. These are not your brawling pot-houses politicians, but quiet and reflecting mert who are accustomed to think and act independently. Such a letter as that recommended in your circular, would be calculated not only to prevent the feeling of alienation and disgust fromextending, but would, perhaps bring back some, if not all those who, under the influence of a temporary exasperation, have for the present left our ranks." In another County of this State - the county of Monroe - the folio wing cali for a public meeting has been published: "Democratie County Meeting. - The Democratie Republicans of Monroe Co., who are opposed to the "two thirds rule" adopted by the National Convention, by which a minority are enabled to díctate to a majority of the party; all those who believe in a strict construction of the Constitution, and are opposed to the exercise of doubtful powers, and who agree with JefFerson, that the Constitution does not provide for the annexation of foreign territory to this Union j those who are opposed to the assumption of State debts, and of the debts of foreign nations; and who are unwilling that the extensión and perpetuation of slavery should be made part and parcel of the creed of democracy, are invited to meet at the Court House in the city of Rochester, on Saturday, August 3d, 1844, at 10 o'clock, A. M." This cali is signed by ninety four of the democrats of Monroe County- a - -a strong indication of the state of feelingin that región. We look not without anxiety to the resul t of thé meeting, for unless those who are concerned in getting it up can see some way of giving their support to the democratie nominations, without surrendering their integrity on the Texas question, they will not go to the polls at the approaching election. -i ne oniy metnoa ís tne one pointea out in the circular we have published, rescinding the Texas issue and resting the support of the democratie nominations solely upon the safe and inexpugnable ground of those great principies of public policy vvhich have heretofore formed the democratie creed. Unless ome such rallying ground, some such point of union and agreement is presented to the democratie party, we are broken up and de- feated without remedy. Those who resist this compromise and insist tipon stuffing the measure of annexation down the i throats of the party, are the enemiesand s betrayers of the very cause they pretend I to support. The feeling to which we al-, lude is not confín ed to the two counties we have named, but is difFused deeply and 1 broadly through the whole interior, and eannot be disregarded without incurring destruction to the party." tCT The Defoit Free Press says: "We have known the gamo the Whige were plnying Tor some time, bui we have nol meniioned it. A few weeks aince they despatcbed n secret messenger into the interior to confer with some of the Liberty party, nnd he has returncd with the confidont hope thnt hts mission will prove a sucecssful one; but we are inclined to the belief that he counts without hia host." i We should really like toknow who it is 'in the interior," ihat keeps the Liberty party for sale, and also the price which isasked for it. All pri■ vatemachinations of this kind avail nothing to the Whigs. They may secure an individual or t two, but the Liberty party will remain incorrupi tibie. lf tliey liave any proposiiions to make, , let them bo made through the press or ia public meetings; and wc will consider tkem.
