 Mir. Clay appears to think. a,l0n t5a. Mexico will be the inevitable rosa,. .,a, Wa ation. How he has arrived at a,; sion, is really question of eonsi5stl S plexity.

Clay, that the anney,1, y Texas at this time would be a frand ~s ieo; let us see what was Messrs. cS4I Adams opinion in relation to lIex,a r' ' she occupied towards Spain the san, ton which Texas now does towar1s I,I NJ In 1923, Mexico declared herself M M dent of Spain-and the United Statp, ' year following, through her Secrb. State, (not Clay,) instructed our NS,s t,. the Court of Madrid, to urge upon S,,. propriety ofacknowledging the inde1n5 of Mexico. To prove this, here is ibaI of Mr. Everett, our Minister, and tba, of the King, through his agent. aHer, ed,o says Mr. Everett, ''that the Kpr , never abandon his claim to these hso and rightful possessions; that the cauy a good one, and although the prosns unfavorabIe, they had a right to suppos would in the end succeed.n Here Vs the declaration of the King of spain,ds5 stating, that under no cireumstances he surrender his title to Mexico, then X cing the whole of Texas. Now let what Mir. Clay, (who now speaks of . fort to acquire Texas, as .'fsaud upa ico,o) did under circumstances era glaringly unjust than he represents dt sent.
 Scarcely three years had elapsed ai declaration of independence by NIexiu twelve years before Spain acknowledg Mr. Clay declared sthat the contest h Mexico and Spain was finally seitg continued twelve years longer) Messrs. Adams and Clay were iusti treating for Texas with Mexico, wh1 belonged to Spain, (for, as have sad the contest did not terminate fortwelg afterwards how can Mir. Clay cOnsl its annexation now would be fraudO leo, when, iii fact, the contest has eH the expulsion from Texas of the whd ican force ten years ago?
 Can any one read these truths-b facts-and not be startled at the d which evinees itself in almost every Can the South be gulled by an an shallow3 And how must those VI heretofore extolled Mir. Clay's magl now regard him, when he concealsl tions then assumed by him, and oct ground directly the opposite' HN thought Texas so desirable Then, is sf much so aow9-and l ask all refect to decide, whether we have nota bet to treat with Texas now-her indep being acknowledgedsby our own cou France and England, and other E eountries-and when, in addition to remember, that she has been, we II unmolested by Mexico for ten year we had, twenty years since, to r' Mexico for Texas, when the Spans distinctly declared "he would neverre his rights to the territory?'' And Clay, disregarding the solemn prot of Spain on this subject, took upon to declare, that the United States "lot on the contest as settled" and lonl Spain had acknowledged the indepen Mexico) entered into C pegotiationn ico for He ACQUISITION OF TExAs are undena6le facts, and, never 5 foundation of this Government has man been guilty of such tergiversa Mir. Clay on this subject. Can ith that the '.high-minded and chivalrOu' man has trackled for abolition supp must De so-or else he could not st Tyler adding another laurel to hl and the DEMON of ENVY has caused give his voice for the sacrifice of tht An unholy, unchastened ambition hi possession of the orice patriotic bos' the MoLocH OF PARTY is the god to the offerings are made.
 Let us of the South present an Ill front in this cause. Let us swear graves of our fathers, never to sacn country for any man; but, with all ,l undertaking determination, let us Iall rescue. Texas was given up by IRL RE we have a right to re-take lt-ana V
