is particularly invited to the *new Patent Boxing,
which i> constructed of a cast Iron Box, as a reser
voir of Water the Oil Box and Journal,
which keeps them perfectly coo! whh any degree of
motion; in proof of which we refer to the gentle*
men who used them last season, and others who have

We will also make, if (for one hundred
dollars) an extra cylinder and set of saws, ribs. &c.
with teeth and ribs suited to make a good sample of
cotion, even if ginned damp in the seed ; and either
set may be shifted in place in a few minutes, and
work with equal accuracy. The advantages of this
extra set in making a fine sample of cotton, and
economy in buying a second Gin for less than half
costs, as al! other parts on plan of work, will last any
length of time, good as one season’s use.
The Patent Combination Boxing, may be had of

MR. BANCRuFT’S LETTER OF ACCEP
TANCE.
Boston, Aug/Is.
Gentlemen—*l regret that (he choice ofihe
convention lias lalien upon me. It was my
earnest personal desire not to be a candidate
for any office whatever ; and the departure
from that wish, I must beg leave lo say, is
wholiy the act of the convention; Yet a just
sensibility compels me to add that when I
call to mind the illustrious men for whom the
democracy of Massachusetts have given their
suffrages, I am deeply conscious of the hon.
or done me.
Still more ought I to prize the distinction,
as publicly connecting me, by your Confiding
and unanimous consent, with the great prin
ciples of civil freedoin-*a government of men
and not of property—the rights of man as
possessed of reason and affections —the right
of the people to institute government, and,
when it becomes destructive of its ends, to
alter and reform it—equality against privi
lege-hostility to special legislation for the
benefit or tor the injury of classes—the asser
tion of the rights of labor, which include
most nearly the rights of all—an extension
of the triumphs of humanity even to crimi
nal law—free and good schools for the gen
era'ion that is to take our places—the ad
vancement of moral reform by the increase
and diffusion of intelligence.
Side by side with the principle of equality
Democracy places that other great principle
of the freedom of the States in the federative
union—these are the two cardinal principles
of our glorious constitution, of which no
words of mine can, in the faintest manner,
shadow forth the importance. If it be true
that either of these is losing ground in re
gions hitherto firm in their support, there is
the more need that they should be welcomed
here.
Nor hag Massachusetts a motive for keep
ing aloof from supporting the just rights of the
Slates and a corresponding policy. Her
convention that accepted the federal consti
tution, opposed centralization. Her institu
tions and her intelligence may disdain to
brook extraneous interference. The expe
rience of the lastfew years has proved conclu
sively that a Bank of the United States is a
costly and corrupting incumbrance; that in
stead of regulating exchanges, it disturbed
them; that the currency can, without it, rise
from the most deplorable condition to one,
not indeed perfectly good, but far better than
existed before. The thought of chartering
another should be abandoned: and the search
may safely be given over for the vagrant pow
er which has no resting place in the
constitution. Every interest of Massachu
setts is opposed to the distribution of aDy part
/‘ofthe public revenue; it'mav ben. , .. |
ed that in every case of such distribution her
peopje must contribule bv more
than the quota she receives. Still less
should assumption of state debt* find favor
here. It i 8 the prideofour ancient common
wealth, that her credit is, and de&rves to be
untarnished ; and that not one, I trust of ita
citizens, Certainly pot one of its denuLacv
tvould ever falter in fulfiilinir pablic obfi-
I in® have r i!ecn wa™. L
lof our manufacturers bind us to support tho
I constitution in Us integrity. Tins policy of
■ deriving revenue from imposts, seems fixed
|for our generation, and the discrimination
■ with which the customs will be levied gives
t the manufacturer all desirable protection, if
hecan but be assured of a steady flow of
capita] and credit by the influence of an un
varying currency.
With a discriminating revenue tarifl Sc cur
rency never depreciating in the least from the
actual specie basis, our manufacturers, likeour
farmers, would no longer bound the horizon
of their enterprise by the limits of home, but
would rapidly take from the question of the ta
riff its undue importance by cbmpeting with
[every nation and findiog markets in every
zone. J
-t ie ulterior interests of ourmanufactures
■ and our agriculture, as well as other causes,
■ forbid the surrender of our jurisdiction over
■ \ny portion of our territory. It is fit that the
■.■eople which represents tiie democratic prin
ciple m the great assembly of the nations
■should equal the most powerful in resources
■ and prospects. We claim that Oregon shall
■ ever be*Ainerican soil. We claim it by ces
■ sion from Spain, by continued discovery,by
■ early occupation, by contiguity, by the inde-
I pendcuce of America, as no longer open to
I foreign colonization < and. by llro manifest
r purpose of Providence, that the light of dem
| ocratic freedom should be borne from our
fires to the domain beyond the Rocky moun
tains; that its harborsshould shelter our com
merce, its valleys become homes for our
kindred and our adopted cilizens. States
men who desire a centralization of power
might consent to dismember our heritage.
But democracy which reserves to each indi
vidual state the right of development accord,
ing toifscapacities, fearlessly extends the
federataptetn; for it knows that its principle
of the freedom of the slates will insure in the
midst of union that diversity of character,
pursuit and interest, which are essential to |
the highest and most comprehensivekculture. ,
While, therefore, the opponents of demccra. ,
cy shrink from an enlarged domain, as involv- ,
ing the policy of strict construction, the re- ,
publican party has never turned pale at the ,
thought of extending the area of freedom. ,
The re-annexation ol Texas is a question ,
already much spoken of. It merits to be .
viewed in all its bearings ; and tote decided i
by reference to the good ol the wWs, tons
tionai honor and national justice. Any de
cision attempted on narrower grounds would j
make the acquisition impossible.
That Texas is independent, is a fact which
brings with it its ovvnjustification. Its inde
pendence is recognised, without any reserva
tion, by the United Statep, by England, by
Fiance, and by other powers ; and the re
ceived opinion of the civilized world. The
peaceful acquisition of that territory, with the
consent of the American poople and of. the
people of Texan, will give to the western
valley of the Mississippi security against
foreign aggression. It will break up the
possibility of extensive illicit trade along the
present frontier. It will include within our
limits the capacity for every agricultural
production that is essential to the convenience
of life, and make us safe against wars, by
making us completely independent. Its ex
uherantly fertile fields will furnish’ to our,
spindles and Ictortls cheap supplies of the raw
material. Its population, destined to increase
vastly on the settlement of its political condi
tion, will afford unsurpassed markets for the
furnish new and perpetually increasing em
ployment for our shipping, as the carrier of its
products and its supplies. It will secure to
us a boundless increase of commerce in the
Gulf of Mexico. If it is not re-annexed, all
these advantages will by treaty devolve on
Great Britain. England, Indeed, disavows’
the purpose of colonizing Texas : but de
clares her desire to check our extension upon
the Gulf of Mexico, and to gain lor herself
commercial benefits. We have the option of
securing the market of Texas by recovering
that territory, or of abandoning that market
and al! its advantages to England.
There are those who asperse this regard
for the interests of American manufactures
and American shipping. Assuredly those
interests ought never to prevail over princi
ple. Here too we ought calmly to calculate
the probable effects ot re-annexation.
Tite territory/ it should he remembered,
extends far to the north, tothe latitudeol
Massachusetts. >So little is the measure of
its feacquisitton to be decided upon the ground
of slavery, that on the occasion of thecession
of Texas to Spain, the queslroi of slavery, as
I am well informed, was never once suggest
ed by any member of the cabinet. And now,
as the question of receiving it back again is
presented, it will be recovered, if at all, not
on sectional bu t on national grounds.
The extension pf slavery is not involved in
the question. Slavery is already in Texas :
re-annexation, in that point of view, tends
rather to set a territorial limit to slavery ;
and would exclude in perpetuity, and still
more effectually than now, all increase of
slavery from abroad.—A variety of causes
conspires with an impulse of their own na
ture to draw those of African descent towards
the south; the boundary line of slavery
would recede all along its piesent northern
frontier; and as the spirit of emancipation
increases, an avenue would be opened to them
to pass to moral and political equality in the
central regions of America, where the preju
dices of race do not exist.
Nor would the re annexation of Texas
increase the danger of an unduegeographieal
influence. Every enlargement of territory
has made centralization more and more dif
ficult, and has also thus far more and more

eminent degree the result of the annexation
of Louisiana. Experience has proved, that
no great portion of our country can unite ex
cept in a good cause ; such a- cause will
never remain sectional, but will always find
some support every where. The Southern
line from Florida to the West of Texas is
too extended ever to be capable of an Insulat
ed concert of action. Besides, Texas woirld
be closely connected with the North as well
as with the South. At this time there is a

CEORGE BANCROFT,
The following are some, among many
letters received, in reply to an invitation
to attend the Nashville, Democratic Mass
Convention, on the 15th August, 1814.
From Gov. Morton of Massachusetts.
TiONTort, Mass,, July IS, 1844.
Gentlemen : —I yesterday had the plea
sure to receive your obliging invitation to
attend’-a Mass Meeting of the Democracy
of Tennessee.” I assure you that I feel
alike honored and gratified by such notice
and recollection of me by my Democratic
fellow citizens of the far South and West.
We are all brethren of the same political
family and all engaged in the same holy cause
—a cause, second only in its beneficial influ
ence upon the human race to that of Christiani
ty itßelf. Indeed, it is founded on the same
principles; for he who really lores his neigh
bor as himself, and practically does to others i
as he would that others should do unto hirn, |
cannot but be a true Democrat.
It would give me delight
to join the Democratic citizMujp'ennessee
<Jn this interesting occasion, anT to become
more acquainted with the people ofa (State
in which I have domestic reasons for feeling
an unusual interest. A more frequent in
change of civilities bHWee!iili£.people of the
North and South, and aJfStrer knowledge of
the customs, manners and institutions of each
other, would tend to prevent those sectional
prejudices which toooften spring up among us
and would bind us more firmly together” as
one people, and render mote-perfigm and en
during our invaluable federal Union. Another
strong inducement to comply with your re
quest is found in the opportunity which it
would give me, once more to pay my respeftf
to the hero and Statesman who has done
much for Democracy aiffi his country. But
above all would I join in the mass of our
fellow citizens in .testifying our confidence
in the ctpatity, the ptftfty of character, the
patriotism and the sterling Democracy of the
nominees of the National-Democratic Cor
ventiod. V
I regret that I are compelled to deny my
self these gratifications. But although 1
cannot avail myself,of your kindness, 0 and
participate in the patriotic proceedings of
your meeting, allowme to’ assure you that
wherever I may be, l will ardently and de
votedly engage in .“the great struggle to
bring back the Government to its original
Republican track by the election of
Dallas, and save the counlry from the dangers
which threaten it if the leading measures 1
advocated by Mr. Clay and his federal asso- 1
ciates should be successfuland no one 1
more truly appreciates the blessings of the ‘
former, or the evils of the latter. I
It is well known that the Democracy ojM

which forbids that I should think of prom

It affords me the sincerest pleasure to bd
able to say to you that the Democracy of New*

that the national nominations are received
w,th a harmony of ieeling, and supported
with a spirit and energy, by the whole party,
so far as my information extends, WhichM

umphantly. The confidence exprAed by
every Republican I meet, and manifested iit
the letters ol all ray corespondents, author
izes the confident hope that the Electoral
vote of fhis State drill be given to Polk and
Dallas. *

however, that those public objects, and not
my pergonal gratification, have induced your
kind invitation; and should control my reply
to it; and the conviction that I can best pro- -
mote those objects by giving my time to my
immediate constituents must be my justifica
tion for declining the invitation,and will be. l
am sure, a suficient apology to you for that
course on my part.
