Gentlemen: f regret that the choice of the convention lias fallen upon me. It was my earliest personal desire not to he a candidate for any cilice whatever; and the departure from that wish, I must beg . leave to say, is wholly the act of the con vention. \et a just sensibilitv compels me to add, that when I call to mind the il- i lustrums men for whom the democracy ol Massachusetts have given their suffra ges, I am deeply conscious of the honor done me. Still mi >re ought I to prize the distinc* i lion, as publicly connecting me, hy your | confiding and unanimous consent, with the great principles of civil freedom—a government of men and not of property — | the rights of man as possessed of reason i and affections—the right of the people to institute government, and, when it be- j comes destructive of its ends, to alter and | reform it—equality against privilege— hostility to special legislation for the ben efit or for the injury of classes—the as sertion of the rights of labor, which in clude most nearly the rights of all—an extension ofthc trinmphsofhnmanity even 1 to criminal law—free and good schools j ‘for the generation that is to take our pla- I «ces —the advancement of moral reform by j the increase and ditfusion of intelligence, i Side hy side with the principle of equal- | it v, democracy places that other great i principle* of the freedom ok the States j IN THE FEDERATIVE I NION. The rights | ■ol persons and the rights of Suites — the ' freedom of the individual in the social union, the freedom of the Slate in the fe derative ( nion; —these are the two cardi nal principles of our glorious constitution, of which no words of mine can, in tlie faintest manner, shadow forth the irnpor- j lance. II it he true that either of these is i losing ground in regions hitherto firm in their support, there is the more need that they should be welcomed here. Nor has Massachusetts a motive for 1 keeping aloof from supporting the just rights of the States and a corresponding j policy. Her convention that accepted the | federal constitution, opposed centraliza tion. Her institutions and her intelli gence may disdain to brook extraneous ; interference. The experience of the last ! years has proved conclusively that a bank j of the United States is a costly and cor- J rupting incumbrance; tiiat instead of reg- i ulating 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 charter ing another should be abandoned; and the ; search may safely bo given over for theva- j grant power which has no resting-place | in the constitution. Every interest of Massachusetts is opposed to the distribu- : tion of any part of the public revenue; it • may be. demonstrated that, in every case | of such distribution, her people must con- I tribute by taxation more than the quota ! she receives. Still less should assump tion of State debts find favor here. It is the pride of our ancient Commonwealth that her credit is, and deserves to be, un tarnished, and that not one. I trust, of its citizens—certainly not one oi its democra- j cy—would ever falter in fulfilling public ! obligations once fairly assumed. And as j to internal improvements by the general government, while our politicians have . been wasting their strength in nna- j vailing efforts to prove the power of Con- i gross to make them, our people, not aided and not solieiting aid, are con structing a network of iron pathways to the fields and half-occupied mill-streams of our North and West, and even on i the Atlantic to the very heart of ; the Old Colony. Still more do the in- j terests of our manufacturers bind us to | support the constitution in its integrity.— The policy of deriving revenue from im posts seems fixed for our generation; and the discrimination with which the customs will be levied gives the manufacturer all desirable protection, if he can but be as- ' sured of a steady flow of capital and credit, by the influence of an unvarying currency. 1 With a discriminating revenue tariff, and a currency never depreciating in the ! least from the actual specie basis, our manufacturers, like our farmers, would no longer bound the horizon of their enter prise by the limits of home, but would rapidly take from the question of the tariff its undue importance, by competing vnth ; every nation, and finding markets in every I zone. The ulterior interests of our manufac turers and our agriculture, as well as other causes, forbidtibe surrender of our jurisdiction over of our terri tory. It is fit that the people which repre sents the democratic principle in the great assembly of the nations, should equal the most powerful in resources and prospects. We claim that Oregon shall ever be Ameri can soil. We claim il by cession from Spain, by continued discovery, by early occupation, by contiguity, by the indepen dence of America, as no longer open to foreign colonization—and by the manifest purpose of Providence, that the light of democratic freedom should be borne from ! our fires to the domain beyond the Rocky mountains; that its harbors should shelter our commerce, its valleys become homes for our kindred and our adapted citizens. Statesmen who desire a centralization of power might consent to dismember our heritage. Rut democracy, which reserves to each individual state the right of de vclopment according to its capacities, fear lessly extends the federative system; for , it knows that its principles of the freedom ' ofthc State will insure in the midst of union that diversity of character, pursuit, ■ and interest which arc essential to the highest and most comprehensive culture. While, therefore, the opponents of demo i cracy shrink from an enlarged domain, as ! involving the policy of strict construction, the republican party lias never turned pale at the thought of extending the area of freedom. Tiie re-annexation of Texas is a ques tion already much spoken of. It merits to be viewed in all its bearings; and to be | decided by reference to the good of the ■ whole, to national honor and national jus \ tice. Any decision attempted on narrow grounds would make the acquisition im | possible. I That Texas is independent, is a fact which brings with it its own justification. Itsindcpendence is recognised, without any reservation, by the United States, by En gland, by France, and by other powers; and is the received opinion ofthc civilized world. The peaceful acquisition of that territory, with the consent of the Ameri can people and the people of Texas, will give Jo the western valley of the Missis sippi security against foreign aggression. It will break up the possibility of exten sive illicit trade alonglhe present frontier. It will include w ithin our limits the capa city for every agricultural production that is essential to the convenience ol’ life, and make us safe against wars, by making us completely independent. Its exuberantly fertile fields w ill furnish to our spindles and looms cheap supplies of the raw mate rial. Its population, destined to increase | vastly on the settlement ofits political con | dition, will a fiord unsurpassed markets for the products of our fisheries and our manufactures of iron, of cotton, of leather. It will furnish new' and perpetually in creasing employment for our shipping, as the carrier ofits 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 tiiese advantages will by treaty devolve on Great Britain. England, indeed, disavows the purpose of colonizing Texas; but declares her de sire to check our extension upon the Gulf of Mexico, and to < gain for herself com mercial benefits. We have the option of securing the market of Texas by recover ing that territory, or of abandoning that market and all its advantage to England. There are those who asperse this re gard for the interests of American manu factures and American shipping. As suredly those interests ought never to pre vail over principle. Here; too, we ought calmly to calculate the probable eff cts of re-annexation. The territory, it should be remembered, extends far to the north, to the latitude of Massachusetts. So little is the measure of its reacquisition to be decided upon the ground of slavery, that on the occasion of the cession of Texas to Spain, the ques tion of slavery, as 1 am well informed, was never once suggested by any member of the cabinet. And now, as the question of receiving it buck again is presented, it will 1 be recovered, if at all, not on sectional | but on national grounds. The extension of slavery is not involv ed in the question. Slavery is already in , Texas; its reannexation, in that point of view, tends rather to set a territorial limit to slavery; and would exclude in perpe tuity, and still more effectually than now, all increase of slavery from abroad. A variety of causes conspires with an im • pulse of their own nature to draw those of African descent towards the South; the j boundary line of slavery would recede all along its present 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 cen tral regions of America, where the preju dices of race do not exist. Nor would the reannexation of Texas increase the danger of an undue geogra- O *- C* 1 phical influence. Every enlargement of territory has made centralization more and more difficult, and has also thus far more and more confirmed the union. This has been in an eminent degree the result of the annexation of Louisiana. Experience has proved, that no great portion of our coun try can unite except in a good cause; and such a cause w ill never remain sectional, but will always find some support everv where. The southern line from Florida . | to the west of Texas is too extended ever i , to be capable of an insulated concert of * j action. Besides, Texas would be closely connected w ith the North as well as w ith . ; the South. At this time-there is a more i intimate relation between Louisiana and : 1 Now lork titan between Louisiana and any Atlantic State south of Maryland.— And Texas and New England would be reciprocally bound together, not less than j Texas and the Carolinas. I cannot, there i fore, share the anxiety of those who would i rather see the Union dissolved than Texas I recovered, and am willing to trust the whole subject to Congress and the coun | try. 1 1 will once more express to you, o-entle raen, my sense of ihe honor done mo by j the convention, in proposing me for their candidate, in a State like Massachusetts. It | ’ j is the land of my navity and my affections. | Let the elections go as they may, this is ■ the cherished portion of our globe: rich in free schools, in a dense, intelligent, and ; active population; in the good feelings, 1 good purposes, and good works of that population; and for all its faults, the sue- : cessive generations of its people have done I * more for popular liberty than the inhabi- ; tants of any equal portion of territory on j the face of the earth. | Accent my thanks for the cordial man ner in which you communicate to me the | will of the convention, and be assured of i my unfailing attachment. GEORGE BANCROFT. [From ihe N. O. Bulletin .J The article in another column, entitled j “ The Future Fo/icy of Texas f is extract- ! ed from the official organ ofthc Govern- ; mentof that Republic, and is attributed in Texas to the pea of the Hon. Anson i Jones, the candidate of the Administration 1 party for President. The line of policy thus laid down in a semi-official manifesto of the Government of Texas, is identical with the forewarn ings which this journal has constantly j given lo its readers in connection with its remarks on the affairs—for a year past imminent and critical, and now on the | verge of their great cricis—of the neigh s' boring State of Texas. It is the natural, ! I proper, palpable, inevitable policy of Tex- i | us, in case she cannot attain the position I I to w hich she is entitled and to which she 1 j aspires, by incorporation into this confede- ! I racy. It is also the true and plain policy i : of England, the policy which as an cn- \ i lightened Government she must pursue, i I seek a fresh, and. as far as possible, an 1 | exclusive market for her manufactures in j : Texas, and to encourage there the growth | ; of I lie commodity which keeps so large a i | portion of her population employed, at the | I same time establishing on the borders of | | her great rival an admirable rendezvous j and point of attack. England and Texas ■ i —the latter refused admission into the Fc- i 1 deral compact. —as naturally and certain- j ly come together in a commercial league | : as any law of physics is fulfilled. lit pursuance of one of the suggestions in the manifesto lo which we have alluded, we know' it is intended to introduce into me next Congress of Texas a bill to reduce the duties on imports, (with a few' except ; ed article, mainly produced in the United States, on which higher duties will be im posed,) a tax ad valorem of about five per • cent.; and we respectfully ask the att.cn j fion of our northern contemporaries to the probable effects on their manufactures : and commerce of a law based on that prin ciple. It was recently announced in the ■ New 1 ork Courier & Enquirer that a , system of illicit traffic across the Canadi : an frontier had been organized by wealthy houses in London. We know that similar objects are in view on the frontiers of the Southwest, (infinitely more accessible,) and that extensive associations only await the moment that duties arc reduced in the i | ports ot Texas, to commence smuggling j , operations on a large scale, both into j Mexico and the United States, across the ! j Texan border. Let the manufacturers | and merchants of New England examine the map, and devise the means ifthey can to prevent contraband goods from cross ing Red River and the Sabine to the de i struction of their markets to the Lower ■ Mississippi. ; [From she Washington (Texas) Nat. Vindicator.] I THE FUTURE POLICY OF TEXAS. i The rejection, by the United States Sen- i ate, ol the treaty of annexation which, by : the importunities of the American Govern- j mant, we were induced to negotiate, leaves ; Texas no alternative, but boldly to resolve ; on her own course of policy, and un waver- | ingly prosecute the determination. Pal- i riotism, national pride, and the advance rnent of the common welfare, imperiously j j requires from our patriots and statesmen, i the adoption of a course, uninfluenced by i the expectation of a disinterested partiality j or favor from foreign powers. A revenue I | sufficient for an economical support of the ; Government must be provided by the tariff, | modified in some degree, and the punctual payment of the slight and almost nominal ’ I direct taxes exacted. The people, cas ting aside all selfishness and burying all sectional and political animosities, must come up to the support of the administra tion and the laws—private rights respec ted—personal securities guarantied—our exports made to exceed the imports—lux ! uries abandoned, and everv sacrifice, both public and personal, met and endured which the common weal demands. Let us establish permanent friendly relations with the Indians—induce Mexico either to recognize our independence or consent to an armistice for a definite period ofyears, or if she is madly resolved on war, with : strong arms and bold hearts, abide the issue whenever made; and in the mean time, let our merchants prosecute their enterprise, and our planters cultivate their fields, assured that our freedom is secure, and our sovereignly as an independent nation indestructible. With Great Britain, France, or some of the European powers, under certain re j strictions and certain inducements, Texas ! ought to form commercial arrangements, ! by which our transatlantic trade would I be augmented, and the two contracting parties bound together by the closest bonds ; of a muti- ' interest, freeing their inter -1 course from the ordinary restraints; and ! opening, broad and wide, those avenues j by which the products of the one country could be readily exchanged forthemanu | factured articles of the other. Great Bri ; tain, olive to her own interests—ever wise, j and always anxious to extend her trade ■ and open new markets for the benefit of ! her merchants and tradesmen, would, un ; der the circumstances, prove the most ac ! cessible to such terms as Texas, in the j present crisis, could afibrd or be induced |to oiler. Her influence over Mexico is almost, if not entirely unbounded; and her j j good offices once secured with zeal in our i behalf, would soon place the relations be- I ; tween us and our foe, on a footing desira j ble to every patriot. Texas, however, ! must expect and be willing to pay a com ! pensntion for boon of peace, or rather of a j settlement of those difficulties which, so ! long as they remain open, prevent that ra- | ; pid increase of emigration which the fer- I j tility of our soil induces; and the invest j rnent of that capital which the successful | result of the enterprise would refund ten I fold. Then, let the proposition be made : to England, of independence, oran armis- ! i ticc, on condition of a reduced tariff on our | I imports, so long as the armistice lasts, or j for a definite period; on the obtainment, I through Iter agency, of our recognition, i The advantages would be mutual. Her ! i citizens could, by such a discrimination i | upon the goods they introduced, and those | i of the merchants of other powers, under- ! sell all competitors; and whilst no dimi- I nation would ensue to our revenues, the j deficit more than made up by the increas- | j cd importations—the tide of emigration | ; pouring into our borders —the rapid devel- ! i opment oLour resources—the influx of ca- i ; pital—the increased value of land—the j j almost incalculable amount of our trade ! j with the interior of Mexico—the new life j j given to every vocation—the additional i I and enlarged sums received from direct \ i taxes, substituting, instead of the present : unequal plan, an ad valorem assessment, ; : would not only prove the wisdom of the ! : measure, but tend to our national prospe rity. Why not attempt it? We feel that • it would meet the approbation of the coun- j I try, and redound to its welfare, i From the United States, as a govorn | ment, we have nothing to expect. The i sympathy of her gallant and generous j people, we have enjoyed. We are bone j of their bone, and flesh of their flesh.— : They are ready to assist, by men and i | arms, and means, any people struggling j for freedom; but the government, by the j checks thrown around it, is powerless, so I far as prompt and immediate action is i concerned, and has too many departments | to counsel, and too many antagonist inte | rests to conciliate, before it would dare i extend an official hand to raise us, if we '■ ! were down; or sustain us, if we were fal- j ; ling. Not so with Great Britain; her ! 1 fleets, and her arms are everywhere; her ministers decide but to adopt a certain course—the mandate is uttered to those whose duty it is to execute, and before London knows that the matter has been considered, the deed is consummated, or a | thousand hearts are busy in its completion, i Her officials have been, and are still, | I amongst us; her sons are making them i homes under our flag; her merchantmen I C 7 are in our ports; our cotton, and other ; i products, have already been exposed in I her markets, and her wise statesmen must I be convinced, that we now present a rich ' and desirable field, whose trade, concen- j | trated on herself, must contribute to swell j S the wealth of her people—tend to her na- ! j tional aggrandizement, and the extension ! of that mighty influence which render her i powerful and formidable throughout the I world. No one can doubt but that our | relations with Mexico, placed on a friend ; ly basis, ten years (it is but a moment in ; the lifetime of a nation,) would find us 1 the consumers of millions of British man ufactures—our whole trade turned to her ! shores, and so linked to her fortunes by ! the strong ties of interest, that fearful in j deed must be that shock which could dis ! turb or sever them. A few years ; of uninterrupted peace and prosperity would find us presenting a contrast so ! i fresh and Homing, with that of Mexico, . rent by civil war—ever on the verge of 1 | revolution—perfidious in faith—despotic to foreigners, and impoverished, that her trade, important as it now may be consi ; derod to England, would dwindle into i insignificance. Next to the United States ' we would be her last and most valuable | customer. We trust the policy will be attempted—satisfied that if terms can be made, Texas will soon be in possession of an honorable peace, and England a most extensive and profitable market. [From the Globe .] IMPORTANT NOTICE. TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE UNION. The Democratic Associations, the Hick ory and oung Hickory Clubs, and other Democratic Clubs and Associations now organized, and which may be hereafter organized throughout the United Slates, are most respectfully and earnestly soli j cited, it they have not already done so, to report themselves, without delay, bv let ter, post paid, to the Executive Committee ' of the Democratic Association in Wash ington city, D. C. They are requested to give the names of their officers, the nuin -1 her of their members, Ac. Ac. Ac. It is important that this step should be taken to secure a more thorough and efficient or | ganisation of the democratic party than j now exists, for these reasons: j Ist. 1 hat each association shall keep j the oilier well informed of the condition of ! parties. 2d. I hat authentic and correct infor ; mation may be disseminated far and wide. 3d. 1 hat the returns, whether of Stale or federal election, may be circulated in a form authentic and official, and which can { be relied upon by our friends for any I purpose, and especially to counteract the j false impressions which may be created : by the publication in the whig 1 journals of I the results of elections. It is already ascertained that that par ty have a well organized system of false hood, not only in the publication of erro neous returns of elections, but by the pub lication of tracts and documents. The j ' v 'hig and some of the neutral papers in j every section of the Union attend to the first branch of the fraud, and the congress ional whig central franking committee at \\ ashingfon are attending to the latter, by publishing and disseminating one set of opinions by Mr. Clay for the South, | and another set for the manufacturing | and abolition districts of the North and West; also documents for the North ma king Mr. Polk a free-trade man, and docu | ments for the South making him a tariff man. These frauds have been detected j in this city; therefore wc warn our friends |to guard against them. Discredit every ! thing coming from a whig source, until ; substantiated by information derived from j those whose effort will be not to deceive, j but to enlighten with the truth. We do ! not hesitate to say that the election returns ! which have been, and are being published ; in the Globe can be relied on by our j friends for any purpose. They are as | accurate as unofficial returns can possi- I bly be, some of which, from necessity, be | ing copied from whig papers. ' The offi- I cial returns will be published in the Globe l as soon as they are received. When the i organization proposed by this notice is j complete, the facility for getting the cor [ rcc t returns will be such as is desired.— j W e appeal to the democracy in those scc | tions of country where no associations ex i ist to forthwith organize and report in ac cordance with the above. We make this appeal not from any doubt of the strength of our cause, or that wc have not the num bers to carry it on to victory. We must i not despise the enemy, however corrupt or i weak they may be; but knowing them to be weak and corrupt should make us more vigilant and active to guard against the unfair and unjust means 10 which they will from necessity resort to cover their weakness. We can assure our friends that we have no doubt Polk and Dallas will be elected. We must, nevertheless, |do our duty. We make the appeal with I another view: that channels may bo es | tablished through which we can develop to the American people one of the most corrupt and villainous schemes ever con cocted by any party which has been set on foot by whiggery to subjugate republi ■ can liberty, and bring our institutions j down to the foot-stool of the tyranny of the | Old World. We do not fear the scheme. I Its exposure will not only defeat itsobject, I but will overwhelm the men and the par ! ty who conceived, and are attempting to j mature it, in infamy so deep that the j friends of civil and religious liberty j throughout the world, to the remotest gen -1 erations, will execrate their very names. | When the organization is complete, the | exposure will be made, and their plan | rendered abortive. Therefore organize | —organize forthwith-North, South, East, and West. P. S. This is to give notice to the de mocracy that the whig central committee in this city are publishing documents pur porting to show the votes of Mr. Polk, which, in fact, if they do not in all cases actually falsify his votes, suppress some of the facts connected therewith, and thus give a false aspect to them. It will be the duty of the democratic party in every section of the country to discredit these documents, denounce them as vile whig slanders, as they are, ask a suspension of ! public opinion, and write immediately to Washington to the executive committee of 1 the democratic association to send the real | facts in each case, to be derived from the I Congressional archives, as authenticated by the clerk in charge of them. The associations throughout the Union will be pleased to pay the postage on all communications sent to the executive corn- I mittee of the democratic association at Washington, whose communications will, in all cases, be postage paid. The democratic papers throughout the I United States will subserve the cause of the democracy by giving the fullest pub licity to (he above, until it shall be seen in the remotest parts of the Union. They are earnestl}' requested to do so. Bv order of the executive committee. JAMES TOWLES, Chairman, j C. P.
