 LETTER FROM. c. M. CLAY. :, The following noble letter from CAss1us M. C1Ay, addressed to Col. SPEED of Ithaca, in an swer to an invitation to- visit this State has been placed in our hands. Every one, whether agreeing with Mir. c. in all the sentiments expressed or not. must admit that it is patriotic in sentiment. The apprehension expressed in one sentence. that some of the Southern States will go against HENRY CLAY, in consequence of 'hia opposition to the ap- nexation of Texas, was doubtless entertained by many before the Louisiana election. Such aresult was intended to be produced by the nomination of POLK but if we gre to judge from the effect in Louisiana, the plan has failed.-Rkaea. N r. Chronicle.

 DeGr S@:-I have received your letter of the 2d inst, inviting me to your State this summer.- I am sensible of the high eomplimentwhich you pay me and would gladly comply with your wishess if public and private duties did not call me else where. In the mean time l am not idle, and my correspondence with both Whigs and Liberty men .the Whigs, is founded on the suppositoh that they will act up in good faith to their profession. If Whiggery means opposition to tyranny-all tyranny. If it is dear to me at a it is because it promotes .the great principles of equality and individual pros Periy which can only result from real republican. and anti republican Southern slaye-holding. The >North is equally implicated in this tyranny over spasser as we'll as slaves. The Whigs must come up to this high ground, oc fa and their fall will not be regretted by the coming generation. It you greater. Seward is a name that New York may well be proud of call him into the field. Such a ran leading, the Wings must triumph. To succeed when such man not fit leader bring no success at which dover osthe principles Sf 70 gan rejoice true basis and fight it braveiy=-ou one side, Polk. Elauny and Tssas; on the other, CEey, Onion and Li6ersy If we can be beat on such issues then let us fal and in our fall we will be remembered by the good forever.

Clay and his friends have taken high .snd holy ground. WeMg:t raise the war .ery'' sive and lasting in their consequences for good or evil. With Polk:s election Texas comes in with Texas the North and South inevitably split and away goes the fruits to us heEe at least of the Amer' ican Revolution. ..,.
 It isxan to put of the syilday; it at hand now Slavery or liberty is to be determined in some sort this coming election-not tha liberty of the black only, but of the white also. lido not mean to say that Mr. Clay is an ernancipaticnist--but believe his feelings are with the cause. Eknow that those most immediately within his influence approximate to myselfin sentiment upon the subec: of slavery. The great mass of Whigs arc or ought to be anti slavery. II 90, then you have no need of me but .I principle give strength, then strengthen your. selves, for claim nothing above the humblcst of my Whig friends in ability. IfaFdent and sincere zeal in the cause of my country's highest and best interests, have given any consideration, go you and do likewise, and your success will be equal. i
 The great question of the age in all -ceuntries is slavery and liberty. The American declaration of rights has leavened the world-the waves first star ted in the old hall in Philadelphia in '76 have en- composed the world, and are now returning with accomplishing power to the centre whsce they star ttad. Slavery must fall. Whether we will give 1t up or 70 down with .itr renains with ourselves.-,
 The fault is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are undeslings" 1t begins to be aH effort in Europet treat Americans sfith ciYility. Let us. ,take care to retire from ChTiseDdom, or viBdcate our title torespect. Ten yearsf have lahQred- -si. lently and cautiously in this cause-foEsaken by the Whigs have stood by them in gnOd- and in sevil repoEt. Icling to them yet l implsee them ito come up to the standard made by Washington and his noble compeers. Gaxeas from disgrace and ruin, elevate us among nations to that post of hon. which we once held, and from which slavery and repudiation, twin-brothers, have dragged us down. Let God and Liberty he once. .mose our 'baAe csy and at lest atesdom, union and equality may be 0usg f6ssver.
 Yours in the cause of the ...t" rF
