PROTECTION FOR IT'S OWN SAKE.
We huve had considerable trouble in making
certain persons understand, or admit that they
understand, correctly, what is meant by this favor
tic phrase of ours. Within year or SO, past, we
have had it more than once thrust in our faces,
that MIR. Clay is not an advocate OF our doctrine.
We make an extract below, however, from re-
cent letter OF Mr.. Clay himself, where we eau as
sure those persons that they will find the very
thing-prolecton for its own sake-cleariy and
handsomely expressed, with all his usual conclila-
ton and generosity, under Mr. Clay6 own hand.
We want no better statement OF the doctrine Than
this, and beg that those whose memories are short
would just luke this extract aud put 1t up, where
they can see it often, unil they get imbueG with
the true spirit of il, and can speak the genuine
language OF American protection themselves
Hear his noble words, in letter TO the Wigs
of Wythe county, Virginia:
rejoice 10 learn that the people ofmy native
State, and The people OF the whole Union, have
become sensible of the great advantages oil foster
ing our national industry. Without any encou-
ragement from legislation, from the indispensable
wants OF The community, and the necessities OF
the case, manufactures must have ultimately
sprung up in our own community. The infant
child, without any help, will finally learn 10 rise
and 10 stand, and walk ; bur he will learn much
sooner by the helping hand Of an affectlona!e pa
rent. The day vii! comet is nigh at hand
when all will be surprised tina, there ever should
have been any difference OF opinion about the pol
icy OF just aud reasonable encouragement to the
interests OF our own country, against The rivalry,
the seltishnsss and The prohbilye policy OF for
eign nations, who are Indifferent 10 our welfare.
And in the benefits OF this parental and truly ma.
tional policy, all parts Of our country, directly or
indirectly, will participate. You speak oil Rich
mond, OF Petersburgh, aud North Carolina. The
same observation might have been extended TO
other parts South and West. And how interest.
ingis it to contemplate the vast changes which are
constantly in operation in the various produces of
our industry aud among the various parts OF our
great aud glorious Union Long may il continue,
aud they increase in value, variety, aud extent"

TEXAS AND ABOLITION

The Louisville (Ky.) Journal leading and
able Wing paper, and an enthusiastic supporter
of Mr.. Clay. has the following most sound and
rational remarks on the subject OF slavery in
Texas and The annexation of that country to these
United States.
"Threaten us with abolition Let them abol-
ish slavery rs soon as they please. The North
will be delighted with il us an act OF humanity
the South will gain millions upon millions, and
the South will not be long in conprehending how
the gain will come.
We certainly cannot be suspected of wishing
harm 10 Texas. We wish her all The success she
can have without joining the Union. We wish
she may borrow all the money she would, and
be sure and pay buck. Let her make what ever
alliances she can with England, any other
power under the sun. Above all, let her by q II
means abolish slavery.
But in Texas, as we have said, unconnected
with the United States, we need not fear rival
even though she do not abolish slavery. Let her
tate be as happy MS the most sangune can hope,
aud it will still be a long time before she can grow
to any consequence. Emgrants from the United
States will be very rare, except those that emf
crate for their country's good and from other
paris of the world they will be sill more rare.
lnnsmuch as Texas cannot by possibility enter
the Union, abolition clearly 10 be her policy.
She may then expect her share Of the emigranis
from Ireland, England aud Germany; and though
she will not riya! us in cotton, she may be tran
quiz prosperous, and respectable"

LETTER OF ENATo r. RiyEs.

Ftnny.-Thc old veteran of the Richmond En-
qurer was awiuIly alarmed at the appearance OF
Mr.. Rives' letter. Nothing but visions Of the most
gloomy sort seem to have been vouchsnfed to him.
See how the old gentleman foams-and mark,
that he considers the support Of Mr.. Clay as a
"lnost startling upostacy" from Virginia old vir-
ginia-slave holding Virginia
"W. G. RIVEs' SUPPORTS HENRY CLAY-A COAL1-
TIQN MORE INDUSTRIOUS THAN ANY OTHER COMBT-
NATION WHICH THIS COUNTRY HAS PRODUCED
AND AN APOsTACY MORE sTARTLfNG THAN ANY
WHICH ANY VfRGINIAN HAS EVER DISPLAYED"
But the fun is, that after having been Tighten
ed to the very point of giving up the ghost, the
next news from the Enquirer is, that the letter Of
Senator Rives is poor, weak and contemptible.--
We give the letter ITSELF and venture to say that
our readers will be unanimous in their verdict,
that more powerful document could not easily
be produced by any statesman Of the time.
