From lie Ncr orleans Republican,

Another letter from Mr.. Clay has recently ap-
pearcd in Inc Tuscaloosa Ala Monitor in en-
PLANTATION OF that part Of his Texas letter, wherein
he gave ii IS his opinion that "Texas ought no,
TO be received into the Union. as an integral
part of il, in decided opposition toihe wishes OF
a considerable and respectable portion Of the
coniederacy." In this he says that he had refer
encc 10 States, and not 10 people. After citing
the States Of Ohio, Vermont and Massachusetts
as having expressed themselves in opposition 10
Annexation: he notices the favor with which tie
measure is regarded in Sonh Carolina IS iurnish-
ing indications OF desire on the part that Stale
10 dissolve the Gnioa His letter closes with de-
nuncia,cn Of The project Of Annexation as IN
abom!nable one, and 7 gross impulation ollhe mo-
tiveS Of the President il promoting ii.
This explanation is nothing more than dis
tincton wihou, difference Whether he allu-
dcd 10 the people or to States, The object was the
samc-the Cancellation OF anti-slavcry support
and he has succeeded But was there ever any
thing so absurd as Mr.. Clay's horror Of diSunion,
as excited hy the movements in favor OF Annex
alton in South Carulina-when the resolutions
from Vernon. and Massachusetts,. against the
measure, which he eagerly seizes as sufficient
reasons for its rejection make this result the alter
native OF disuuion? Vermont and Massachusetts
are hot beds of Aboitionism; they are likewise
among the very few States upon which Mr.. Clay
can calculate with any degree Of certainty in the
next election. 1t would not do, therefore, to nc
tice their open and positive threats Of disunion,
should Texas be annexed. But the case is quite
