Mr. Clay And Texas

Mr. Cloy saWhig: that is, he is in fayor1 of a National Bank, Distribution, &c. Thosd who support him on these grounds, makintf1 these questions paramount to all others, are consistent, and may be said to act wisely jnnsmuch as they adapt their meane to the entf ihey wish to attain. They want a Bank, and they vote for a Bank man. They want DiatribiJtjon, and mipporl him who advocates the mensure. This is consistent and sensible But when any one can be induced to vote for him because he is favorubly incliacd to human Hberty, or because he is against the fu. ture annexation of Texas, he wil! be nioat egregiously deoeived. His letter on Annexation looks tvvo ways: it goes to the ut most ngainst Trler'a ireaty, and yet leuyea the whole question open for futlire action.- We Fhotild not be at all surprised if Mr. Ctoy should come out just befbre the elections n the Southern States more expliculj for Annexation in future, under certain circumstances. 1 n order to save these States, he must do this, or hie friends must come out to this effect in his behalf. It appears that they are already domg this. We find in the papen the following extract from a letter of Mr. Jamrs Ltons, one of the Whig candidates for Elector of Virginia . It is from the Richmond Whig. Let thoEe who have thuught ïhat the Whig bars were forever put upV gamst the Annexation of Texaa by Mr. Clay's letter, read it attentively. Obsertê how tbis question appears to the cyea of a Southern Whig: "I am a decided advocate of the annex. tion of Texas, havxng no doubt of the conitL tutionality and expedkney of the tneasure. I am a Whig, because my principies are Whig -and I maintain those principies, because I am saiisfied that the permanent happiness and prospcrity of my. country depend upon thera -I am in favor of a Bank of the United States, iao:"I have not yet seen, however, why we roay not liave Whig meieures, and Whig men, and Texas too- -why not take her into the American family, and extend to her the bleísings of our Government and principie, without either national disgrace or foreign war? I confees, vth sincere deference for the opinión of others, who are more ableand better informed than I am, that I have yet secn no satisfactory reason for the final rejection of the proposed annexation, uriless it be the offbrt to niake a party question of it. Tt is not, and cannot be made a party question eventually. Tt s n great notional question, and thenations of Europe will look on in wonder, if, uhitnately, we reject the offer of such a territory, so located, and peopled with men of our own rnce and blood, though tbey will probably protest against the deed, to serve their own purpose- -10 preserve as they cali it, the balance of power, or promote a fanática 1 creed. "Let each Wbg think as he pleases about Texas; and let Texas come in, or not come in as the majority of the people shall determine under the wise and patriot c administration which Mr. Clay and the Whig will give lis. Tli e country has never failed to cnl! pon' him in moment8 of trouble and difiicuíty, and he has never failed to meet the cali as a patriot and statesman shotiid meet ir, and so if will be now. If the majorify of the people desíre the annexation uf Texas, they wíl!' have it: and ÍN MR. CLAY'S ABILITY,EXPERIENCE b, PATRÍOTÍSM, THEY WILL ÍIAVETHE SUREST GUARANTEE THAT SHE WJLL BE ANNEXED1 IN THÉ MOST SECURE AND HONORABLE MANN ER Very respectfully,
