To the Editor Of the Vicksbrg W,hg.
Dear Sir:--i have, with surprise ana

public prints, that had withdrawn from
the support of Mr., Clay, on account If
his course ia relation to the anpeya,ion
Of Texas 1t is not with view Of oh.

awaits them both. would rather vote
for Henry Clay for the Presidency than
any man now living, and most assuredly
shall do so in November next, unless 10
