Ji,.trací of a letter frona a friend in Lena wee County: "I have been informed that Mr. Fuller, of Washtenaw County, asserted at the Whig Mass Meeting at Adrián, that Mr. Beckley, one ofthe editors of the Signal, had declared himselfin favor of the Annexation of Texas, and the report seems o be industriously circulated. VVe should ike to hear how much truth there is in lie story. Very respectfully yours," # August 3, 1844. In reply tó the above, I would say I am opposed to the annexaíion of Texas to his government for the following among other reasons, viz: 1. I believe it would be unconstitutional to admit it. 2. It would enlarge, strengthen, and perpetúate the institution of Slavery. - ?lús we have no right to do. 3. It would be an acquisition of territoy we do not need - and that would only jrove injurious to the U. States. These have been my sentiments for the ast ten years, during which time I have y public lectures - through the press - nd remonstrance to Congress, tried to make my opposition to the annexation cheme felt. And that this is and has )een my position on this subject, Mr. ?uller knows - for several weeks ago, I penly and frankly stated to him my iews. as they are stated above. If at Adrián or any other place he has repreented meas occupying any other posion than deadly opposition to annexaion now and forever, he has knowingly nd xoilfúlly preverted my sentiments. I make this communication for the benfit of those are unacquainted with "Ed.. ?uller." Such is his deadly hatred to iberty men and especially to libèrty mnciples, that where he is known it is ot expected that he will refer to them vith truth or candor - and to contradict vhat he might say would only subject ne's self to ridicule.
