THE SPRING BUSINESS.

The general impression is among those best quail
fed to judge, that fair business will be done the
coming season throughout the country. This inn
preston is very reasonable, and have little doubt
Of its correctness Such being the case every per-
son will want the Dollar Newspaper which is conce-
ded by the press to be of the best business,
well as literary and family papers in the Union Its
remarkable cheapness places it in the power, not only
of every family and every business man, but Of every
child in the States old enough to read TO subscribe
for and receive it weekly without inconvenierc
account of its cost. With steam machine presses,
upon which we can print from five to six thousand
copies per hour, enabled with large edition
to supply TO subscribers with all its value (and it
courts comparison in this respect with any other week
y newspaper in the country, in the world,) al 4
rihe over the mere cost of the white paper on which
it is printed. If this be not cheap enough who can
say what is But it is say many of the hundreds and
thousands of subscribers whose orders come pouring
in upon us. With those who are capable Of com
pairing and judging, the only wonder appears to be-
how il be afforded so cheap.

BASE FRAUD
ANNEX ATION-ANOTHER LETTER
FROM MIR. CLAY

A letter from Mr.. Clay in July last has been
greedy seized by his enemies as an instrument
for electioneering against the Wings Just on the
eve Of to. days election. BY most miserable and
deceptive piece of garbng it has been repre-
scented from this letter. that Mr.. Clay is in .fauor
of annexaton-just like Polk; and lying rumor
has added to the ridiculous tale, in this county,
that the Wings Of Montpelier are deserving Mr..
Clay! This is all for effects all unfounded,
save in the prurent imaginations of locoioco cleo
tioneerers. The facts are that in letter to cit-
zens of Alabama, dated July q, Mr. Clay reitera-
ted, with little more particularly, the sentiments
expressed in his Tuscaloosa letter. which was
published in our paper of Aug. 9 and still more
strongly confirms his declaration, in his first (Ra-
leigh letter, against annexation, unless is By The
common consent Of the States. He goes on further,
in reference to his personal feelings,and says,
that I" so far from having any personal objection
to the annexation Of Texas, should be glad to
it-icithom d,shonor, ,uiihom ipdr, WITH THE
COMMON CONSENT OF THE UNION, and
upon just and fair terms" And in conclusion, as
if to remove all doubt he says that if elected Pres
ident, and the question occurs, he should be gov
erned by the state of fact and opinion then exist
ing, and "aJcre all, / should be governed BY THE
PARAMOUNT DUTY OF PRESERVING
THE UNION ENTIRE, AND IN HARMO-
NY, regarding it as do as the great guaranty of
every political and public blessing, under Provi-
dence, which as a free people we are permitted to
enjoy"
This statement has been outragcously garbled by
leaving out all The conditions which Mr.. Clay re-
quires before he can assent to this measure y!
Be not deceived: Mr.. Clay never can assent to
annexation so long even Vermont alone forbids
the bans while if he is defeated, we shall have
immediate annexation, ioih dishonor and ,car, and il,
defiance Of the rights Of the states
We have heard Of the use which is made of this
letter ut too late an hour to enable us to append
the letter itself. II will be given in our next
| remarks.
The sheet anchor of the opponents of annexation
is this doctrine, viz: that no netV territory can be
admitted to the Union WITHOUT THE CON
SENT OF THE SEVERAL STATES.-All
other objections go only TO The erpedency Of
the measure, but this goes to the root of the mat
ter and so long as a state holds out, it is a fatal
| barrier 10 annexation Now this was Mr.. Clay's
doctrine in the Raleigh letter, and in the Tuscaloo-
sa letter and the question is, has he }oysaken thai
| ground no,O? Most assuredly he has not Or
the other hand he has confirmed and strengthened
it in the most explicit manner.
"Several States had declared through theil
