Gen. Hamilton And Mr. Clay

Un. James Haniilton now of Ala bama, formerly of Texas, and original]] of South Carolina, is closely identifiec with theCalhoun and McDuffietribe oi politicians.. He is an advocate of c Southern Convention, for the purpose ol procuringsuch an alteration of the TL S, Constitution as will preclude every bod from talking about Slavery. The Cal hounites and eternal-slavery men, as we anticinated. have determined, of the twc national candidates, to go for Polk, as o more convenient and effectual instrument of eifecting Annexation, and their other projects for slaveholding aggrandisement. Accordingly, they are doing all thcy can to defeat Mr. Clay's election in the southern States. One of the most effectual meansof accomplishing this is to hold him up as an enemy to Annexation, and raise the mad-dog cry of 'AbolitionP It is to these charges Mr. Gla'y alludes in his last letter on Annexation. A Whig friend has requested us to publish the follovving extract from a letter of General Hamilton, July 8, 1844. We see nothing in it very remarkable. We copy from the Detroit Advertiser, verbatim el literatim. Having retired from the stnfe of party politics, nothing but the vital importance of the annexation question has xndnced me to takt the smallest interest in the present struggle. As, hoioever, the defeat or election of Messrs. Polk and Dallas cannot but have a controlling ivjlucnct oh the final solution of the question, and I beJieve, on others of eminont value to the best interests in the counUy, I have no besiration to declare that, in common with yourselves, 1 will most cordially svpport the Democratie nominaüon at Baltimore, both by my vote and opiniona, however Xalucless the last may Ie. With the highest personal esfeem for Mr. Clay, and a warm admiration of his genius and ability, I must confess, three months ago, 1 would have been willing for one that the South should have acquieaced in his election, althongh our interpretations of the Constitution, are very mnch at variance, trusting to those eherous impulses, under ihe influence of whichjthe Missouri andTariffcorapromises wcre con6ummated, and under the belief that he wojld see that in a minority as we are, we should have fair play ia reference to ourgreat domesüc question; bat he has come out so etrongly in advance against our irilerests, and, I belipve against the be$t interests of the whole Union, on the side of the AntiSlavery disunionist, thatit leavesno man, who entertaina the opinions I do of the public policy of the country, any other alternative buto vote againat him. I cannot but deeply regret the faial misiake this gentleman haa committed, for even if he is elected, his administration must break down under a most disastrous excitement throiighout the whole country, in Jess than two ycars, in the tace of the heavy current of public opinión, which will be setting ín favor of the measure to which I have referred, vastly augumented by the known tact of his being priiicipally responsible for its defeat, on grounds at varianee with enlightecjed and humane policy. In. one word, he has played astronghand agaiusthis own section of the Union,on uekalfoflke most dangerously alrocious party that has ever risen up inour country -ourfrantic JÍbolilionists, uho are in close affdiated alliance toith the still more frantic Molilionists of Great Brilain.''
