heard Of its appearance elsewhere. 1t mus, shed
much luminous light upon Mr.. Walkers political
path, TO deserve such constant use. But what is

small portions Of letter looks quite. suspicious.
They show that something is written which the
public must not know-for no one will believe that
Clay would write to Walker for mere amuse.
ment or upon matters of private interest-no,
Clay is after the Presidency and Walker is can
dldnte for Congress, therefore Mr.. Clay writes 10
him political instructions. But, as We have hint
ed, this privacy looks suspicious. Perhaps Mr..
Clay avows in that letter high tariff sentiments,
as well as "moderate tariff ones, and there may
be other letters written 10 Northern candidates for
Congress, which contain principles and "acords' in
favor of Bankrupt Bills, High Tariffs, Projections,
and American Systems. Yes, that is good ex-

letter should be kept partially unread or secret.
We will give our reasons why we think So
Mr.. Clay is extremely anxious 10 run the Presi-
dental race-he has been on the track several
times, but has been always greatly distanced,
and now he is getting old he wants TO make dos

by such letters as Walker has received, with this
difference, that one openly favors moderate the
other protective duties. But one need 60 no fur

Convention, 10 satisfy US of Mr.. Cay's inconsis-
tency and "t,ro roiced' politics; and as Mr.. Wal
ker is bonnd to support the nomination of that
Convention and its Clay schemes, we are equally
satisfied of his Clayocracy.
This resolution is as follows:
81. A Tariff which shall of itself provide suffi.
cent revenue 10 pay tho debts and defray the ex-
penditures of the Federal Cover Inmeut-such
Tariff 10 adjusted equally to protect, cncour-
age, and cherish in all its branches the Protective
Industry of tLo Csuulry."

WASHINGTON Cry, May Sd, 1914.
DEAR sIR:--Agrecably to promise to furnish
you all the information from this place in my pow.
er, have now to give you a few of the many oc.
currcnces, sayings, and probabilities in relation to
the great question of the Annexation Of Texas.
1t is confidently believed here, tha. the Senate
will probably confirm the Treaty: if it should not,
Texas will be brought in Territory by join.
Resolution, of both houses.
Mr.. Van Buren's letter against Annexation has
lost him the support of the Democ rutc party, and
the Convention at Baltimore the 9th, will
nominate Lewis Cass, of Ohio, for President, and
Col. Richard NJ. Johnson, of kentucky, for Vice
President. The Wing Convention have nomina-
ted, Henry Clay and Theodore Freaghuysen,
but Cass and johnson, will beat them, and no mis-.
take. The whole South, are indignant at the
course pu rsued by Mr.. Van Buren,, and Mr.. Clay,
