line, almost without the possibility of le tection; nor could the United States effec tually prevent it, without an army of reve nue officers, if they were honest enough to do it, at too great an expense to be borne. This would be certainly ruinous to our manufacturers, cut short the revenue of our Government derived from duties, and to that extent render a resoit to direct tax ation inevitable. Besides, it would attract such a large portion of British trade to the free porta of Pex, as to cripple, if not de ttroy the capital, commerce and naviga tion of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, which are the principal markets of the Southern States. . Finally, the annexation of Texas to the United States will strengthen ami perpetu ate our Federal Union, and extend the blessings " of our free institutions over the valley of the Mississippi, anil to Rent-rations of men yet unborn. And when we reflect how many rich, inestimable bless ings social, Christian, and political II w to us through our democratic form of Gov ernment; how, as a nation, we are distin ruished in point of happiness and pri vile ges, above all the other natims of the earth: this alone makes annexation consummation devoutly to be wished " Our system of confederated republics. undr wliiph the. reueral itovernmeiu ins charge of the interests common to the whole, whilst the loed Governments watch over the concerns of the respective Mates, is capable of almost indefinite extension. with increasing streng'h; because, me more dependent will be the never al parts unnn the whole, and the whole noon the several parts." The more distant Slates feeling their depcndenc greater, for secu Vitv and protection, upon the Federal Gov ernment, will cling t the Union the stron ger; and hence it is thai the new States have never been known to utter the cry ol disunion, but have been most remarkable for their loyalty On the other hand, the Federal Government will be kept from overstepping its constitutional limitations, by the number of State, proud of their sovereignty and privileges, and distributed in every direction, as counterbalancing checks ar.d weights. Strength as well as defence lies in num bers. Place the solitary star of Texas in our federal constellation, and it? effulgence will penetrate the dungeons of oppression in every age and clime. As an emblem of peact and power, it will command the admiration and respect of nations for our national rights and character. The world has now but one Washington, and but one political ark that is this Union Like Noah and his Ark, they seem inten ded under Providence to bless a new world and all XTS generations. Our duty is to extend its empire and to continue ii succession. LOUIS D. HENRY, Chairman. Josiah O. Watson, James B. Shepard, Weldon N.Edwards, George Whitfield, Thos. N.

How is it that the federal Press in North Caro lina is silent on this momentous question? Inquire of your Whig neighbors? Ask them, as independent freemen patriots who love their State and Country more than they love any party, vhy it is, that their pres-es and leaders should submit to be muzzled and manacled by Henry Clay, on a question which calls for the united action of the entire South? Do they hall, and stand undecided, between Mr Clay's contradictory letters? Are they irfaid to speak? Away away w ith 'such unmanly submission to the will of any one man!

B. Smith, Our Prospects in North Carolina. We have made it a rule in our editoiial career, to abtain from presenting any san guine calculations of political results. We freely admit, therefore, that we are not by any meanssuieofa Democratic triumph in this State, on the 4th of next month. Hut our observations of pa-sing events, we declare in equal candor, do authoi ize a joy. ful hope of such a tesult. It is very clear that it can be done. The offiria! returns published in the last Stand ard of the vote for Governor in August, exhibit the lean majority of 315.'. Now we arc quite p-siiive th.it, if a fair judg ment may be formed from this county and lhoe adjicent. that on that occasion, a full democratic vote was not polled. In Edgecombe 3lone. the majority of Hoke was some 100 le?s than the Congressional majority of IS43. In Pitt and Beaufort, there was a till greater falling off of the democratic vote. Besides, numerous changes have taken place since the August vote Even little Delaware, the ' banner Stale0 of federalism, has nobly righted herself and stands rmong the redeemed regenerated and disenthralled. And shall North Carolina still slumlnr? Miall the land ol Macon rink into the polluted embraces of bastard whiggery? Forbid it, justice foi bid. if, honor! Maryland. The Baltimore Sun (neutral) gives the following result: For Governor. Carroll, Dem. ' Pratt, Coon. 32,442 , 32,926 ; 32.442 Coon majority 484 . GenM Harrison's majority in 1 810 was 4,774.

" End Coon Hunters " As much as we have had cause to be in a good humor lecently, in view of the brilliant victories which crown our efforts every where. Yet we have j-eeu nothing during the present campaign, over which we have laughed more heartily, than the following Resolutions, adopted by a Dem ocratic Association in New York, which styles itself the "Bull End Coon Hunters;" they would cause the sides of the weeping god himself to shake. "Resolved, That each hunter keep his Mini picked, his powder dry, and when W e know of. they see the eye let split many in our favor of none against us. The August majority is but a trifle to over come. is less than 3 votes in the hun dreds. Another view: there are 74 coun ties in North Carolina: divide this whig majority of 3 1 5:3 among them, and it re quire less than 43 voters to be gained in each county lo overcome it and secure a republican majority. Can this be done? It can Will it he. done? That is for future de cision. Let every promircut man do his duty, and it will b: done. Let every E lector do h;s duty as well as the Elector for this district has done his, and the event isalready accomplished. We learn he has already delivered ten public addresses: has any other Elector delivered half that number? im Resolved, That the thanks of the Butt End Coon Hunters be presented to (.'apt. John Orser for his present to the ' lub of .SOO 'young hickory walking sticks, inten ded for the me of I he members when in chase of the varmint." The Nat. Intelligencer the Federal or gan at Washington is perfectly indignant at these te-oluti u.s, and denounces the au thors as a '-band of organized bullies." and his distempered imagination has transfered these inoffensive walking sticks into "hick, ory bludgeons to be used against whig citi zens. ' We want no better evidence of the sinking cause of Federalism than to see the Coons shewing their teeth at such harmless badinage as this. TARDO ROUGH: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1844.

The Address in the preceding columns, cannot fail to engage the attention of the reader. The Signal in animating strains remarks: Fieemen of North Carolina read the Address of the Democratic Cen tral Committee on another page of this paper, and say in your hearts whether it is not the true policy of our Government to Annex Texas to this Union? Head the proofs of England's interference and hos- But too much reliance should not be had on public speakers. They can do much. but they cannot do all. A very great point is to get every voter to the polls. Let those intelligent and wealthy citizens, who lead public sentiment and rouse pub lie action, tike care that not a single vote is lot. If this he done, even without a sin gle. gain, the State isstfe. Take heed thr;n ! let no infirm or distant voter loe his vote for want of a carriage to the polls. ' We are especially anxious that the Old Line of Edgecombe demorracy should make a full, round, loud roar on the 4th of November a roar that will shake the hills of Buncombe. "The contest deepens - On, ye brave!" There never was a period in our poliii- cal annals, when the fiicnds of democratic principles had more cause for joy and self congratulation. From every quarter of this wide spread republic north, south, east, and wet, from the farthest limits of Maine to the southern confines of Louisia na "broad streaks" of light are breaking upon us and ligh'ing up regions hereto fore shrouded in the long night of federal gloom and despondency. Every breeze that sweeps over the land, brings with it the trumpet note of victory. The people the glorious bone and muscle the rich sweat of whose brows fertilizes the soil of the republic, are roused to a degree of en thusiasm never equalled, and proclaim in tones of thunder that federalism is doomed Look at Maryland! bankrupt and federal Maryland who has not voted for a demo cratic President during a period of fifieen years the is throwing off the manacles which bound her to the desolating car ol federalism, and is about to take her stand FOK THE TAKBoRO PRK-SS. Mr. Howard: The Editor of the Raleigh Register, by travel and observation, says. lie has superior opportunities of forming an opinion as to the result of the Pieulen- tial election, and assure his reader the fol lowing States are CERTAIN for Clay; viz: Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Is- uid, Connecticut, New Yoi k, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania. Delaware, Maryland, iV. Carolina, Georgia. Louisiana. Ohio. Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. v Doubtful ..Virginia, Missouri, Michigan, Mississippi. . . .. Certain Polk - Stales -Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Alabama, Ar kansas, Illinois. Now 1 know not whether the Editor gives this assurance to rouse the drooping .-pints ot Whiggery, or to discourage De mocracy. And to test his sincerity or judgment, 1 will bet him or any other whig the following bets on his certainties. 1st Bet. $10. On each of the Western ami So.

Clay is not elected by the Electoral Maj, of Harrison and $2g even, Clay is beaten by Polk. 5th. $20. Clay does not receive the popu lar vote of Harrison in 1840. 6th. S20. That Polk comes nearer Van Buren's popular votes, than Clay does Harrison's in 1840. These bets are made small to enable one person to take all.
