THE CHARGE MADE AND DE-
NOUNCED BY THE CINCINNATI
GAZETTE, PROVEN BY INCON-
TESTlBLE EVIDENCE-BY ONE
WHO "ESPOUSED THE CAUSE"

On tbe 29lh Of July last we charged
Henry Clay with having esPOused the

"a hsniOus crime against the Union and

OF such re- ssponsibility that it should not
be made without substantial evidence -
The evidence, when the charge was first
made, was the letter Of Aaron Burr him.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM GEN
JACKSON IN FAVOR OF AN
NEXiNG TEXAS TO THE UNI
TED STATES.
We call the special attention of our
readers 10 the spbioined letter from the
venerable patriot of the Hermitage. who
looks to the question Of annexing Ttxas
TO the United States with an anxiety and
interest that seem 10 increase in pTOpOr-
,iOn ss the days which limit bis cOntiHH.
ance in this life approach their close -
This letter presents, in our judgment the
most conclusive argument 10 favor Of the
pllicy Of annexation that we have yet
seen; and, coming as it does frum An
drew Jackson, the General as we'll as the
Statesman, who has so often exposed and
ihwarted the ambitious designs of Great
Britain in regard to the United States ,
cannot fail to have great weight at this
time with, the American people, He
treats it as national question-OnP above
all parties-invOlving the prosperity and
safety Of all secIiOes and interests in our
happy land: and il IS difficult for US TO
realize that there can exist differing or
opposing opinions to those which he sx-
presses.
This letter. Ss will be seen from ils
perusal, and from the leits: Of Mr.. Daw-
soo, TO which il is an aDswes, was written
after the visit Of that gentleman to the
Hermitage; but was received by him
just as he was leaving Nashville for ST.
