POSITIVELY THE LAST.

Mr. CLAY has written another letter on annexa-
ton. We do not pretend to keep pace with Mr.
Clay's Texas opinions; therefore, whatever may
be avowed in this letter, will not remain long
uncontradicted by Mr.. Clay himself. This last
letter is written to the editors of the National
Intelligencer. Mr.. Clay says that he will ''permt
no other letters to be drawn from him on public
affairs" We wonder that he did not come to
this conclusion long ere this; and before he had
earned the unenvious appeliation OF the complete
letter yriter.
While on this subject of letter writing, we will
refer the attention of our readers to the letter IN
to-day's paper, from Henry to Cassius Clay. That
this letter is genuine there is no doubt. lhe Ne"
York Morning News says: ait is certainly very
unfortunate accident for Mr.. Clay that his letter
should have reached its destination only through
the roundabout way of the columns OF the Dem
ocrat. Ii exhibits miserable picture of the shut
fling and assembling of politician, only anxious
about the every great delicacy of my position
the "ncccssity OF the greatest circumspeclon'-
and especially that you should avoid commi'tln:
me-" 1t will do him no good with the abolition
lists, whom his friends are so warmly counting
while IT requires no prophet to oretelts influence
at the south, recognizing as il does, Mr. Cassiu
! NJ Claws mission to the abolitonsts, and apollo
eizing for the letter which strong pressure o
southern expediency had alone extorted from him
in dsavowal of that mission Mr.. Clay's deiea
was certain enough before; this letter will go ia
to remove from the minds Of many who have sti
clung to him, any doubt Of the well merited justic
of his political fate.
"The general spirit and purport Of this lette
involve the whole moral of Mr.. Clay's career"

VERY LATE AND INTERESTING FROM ORE-
COMA letter dated March II, 1874, has been
received in this city from the mission at Wala-
mette, from which the following interesting items
were obtained The settlers held a meeting on
the 18th March, to ascertain what progress had
been made in collecting $500 to establish news
paper, when 1t was found that $6i5 had bced sub
scribed, and by the aid of gentlemen connected
with the Hudson Bay Company it was increased
to $500. A printing press has been ordered from
this city, for Oregon, to be shipped to the care of
Messrs. Ladd s. Co., Oahu, Sandwich Islands,
The missionaries have been in usual health since
the departure of Mr.. Lee for New York. One OF
the settlers writes to Iowa. "Don't leave the States
with more than $25 in cash, as cows are better
We found no difficulty n procuring hands for their
provisions. There is no danger of Indians or En-
glish, but you should keep in good company
Take care of your cows at Cave river; after that
the Indians will not trouble them; there is need
of guarding them at night. We have all arrived
safe who left Iowa; the Doctor has a frame within
about mile of mine; Mr.. Lee stopped at Mr..
Spalding's mission; Mr. Little and Mr.. Aiken con-
tnued their journey to California You may per-
haps lose one-fourth or one-third of your cattle,
but do not let that discourage you; with proper
care you will lose hut few. Start with no more
salt than is enough to salt your bread and meat,
as the vegetation is salt enough all the way. I'D.

a remaining doubt, but that James Il.
Polk will be chosen President OF the
United States in November next; with
out the vote OF Tennessee, but as len
nesseeans, we have pride that len
messed should aid by her vote in con-
sumating this great event. We have
no doubt she will do so. And when the
election shall be over, and James n.
Polk be placed in the Presidential
chair. we trust al! our federal adversa-
ries will by that time have learned who
this James X. Polk is.

GOV. ]. K. POLK AND SLAV ERY.
The Nashville, Tenn. J Union says:


The slaves he (Gov. Polk) owns have come to
him by descent, from the parents of himself and
Mrs. Polk. He has never owned a slave who
would consent to be sold transferred to another
master, and he now owns no slave, who is of the
years of discretion, who would, on any persuasion,
consent to be emanclpated and turned loose into
the world, deprived of his constant guardianship
and protection. We say this without his know
ledge or authority, but we know it to be
true from actual knowledge formerly deriv-
ed from some of his older servants, and from
persons of strict truth and honor, who have
obtained the same information in the same way at
recent date. He never has bought or
sold or exchanged one slave for another, except
at the entreaty of the slave, and then for the
purpose of preventing the separation of families,
husbands and wives, or parents and children"
Can as muchb said of Henry Clay! No.

for disavowing them, would have been mentioned
"a the motive, and not necessities growing out OF
personal or party interests in the election.
Itstrikes us that it is evident, from the face OF
Mr. Clay's Kentucky card, and the private expo
siton he has given Cassus M. Clay OF the motives
for it, that it was card played to carry point In
the South; while the exposition sent North TO the
emssary among the abolitionists, might be very
successfully used to take off the mischevous effect
of 1t among the aboltionists He says to his proxy
among the abolitionists, in his missive: '.df me
North, / am represented as an ultra supporter
the institution of slapery, aohilst at The South am
described as an abolitonist schen am neither one
nor the other.
This dec laration from Mr.. Clay, as slave-hold-
er, seeking the high place which might make nm
the arbiter of the issue presented by the abolition
lists in regard to the support of slavery IN the O"ioh
might be insisted upon by Cassius M. Clay among
those to whom he is sent, as admitting the repre-
sentaton he had made as to MIR. Fl. Clay feelings.
hut which the latter had denied. Mr.. Cassus M.
CLAW said to the abolitionist5, 81 do not M an t"
san that Mr.. Cidyis an emdnc'pdt'ont't; 0Ut
belece has heart is loih The cause" In his private
letter. Mr. II. Clay says he is neither one thing
nor the other. He is not an ultra supporter o'
slavery, nor an abolitionist What can make him
passive in this very active struggle between parties
in this country' He told Mr.. Mendenhall, in his
insulting address to him in Indiana, that he had an
interest in slavery to the amount OF S5o, ,ooo'-
What can make him suddenly so indifferent IN re-
card to this great interest, which he spurned Mr.
Mendenhall for meddling with, as no longer to be
an ultra supporter Of it, although no aboiitoni't!
Mr.. Cassius Clay may take this passiveness' under
such circumstances, as an admission that his heart
is no longer in the cause of southern Institutions
or he would defend them. He defended them not
long since, in the Senate, as we showed from his
sneech. when assaIed by abolition petitions, as II
attacked by treason. He painted, in the most
glowing eloquence, horrd picture of abolition, as
seeking to plung the country in civil war-to wrap
the South in ilames-to drench it with blood-to
cover it with desolation, and make it at once the
grave of a whole race-the white or the black

MARYLAND ELECTION.

The election in Maryland for Governor, took
place on "Wednesday the I'd inst. By the follow
ing returns il will be seen that the wings have
carried the State by the skin of their teeth. 1t is
STATE we did not expect to carry; but when we
were shown the returns, we were reminded Of a
short article in democratic paper, which said the
result in Maryland was doubtful The writer of
this article was pronounced either a"knave or a
fool" by .Shig of this place. Wonder what he
says now.

0G-The abolition vote in this county is consid-
erably below that claimed by the liberty men.
They, or considerable number of them, deserted
their cause for whiggery, and especially in regard
to candidates for Congress. Can,they ever expect
to succeed, when they Of their own accord, desert
their cause' Do they deserve to succeed! We

vote for Congress, were formerly democrats, Will

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE ANNEXATION
QUESTION


ANOTHER VIEW OF THE ANNEXATION
QUESTION.
Long before annexation was made an elechoh-
eering watchword, we pointed out its commercial
and geographical Importance to the United States,
and laid down, as upon map, the dim, but not IN
visible lines of British policy. 1t is beginning to
be sufficiently evident that England is the moving
spring OF the projected subjugaton of the Anglo
American race in Texas. There has doubtless
been some sensible men who believed England
very innocentin the matter, but these persons nae
never examined the case; and by this time, at all
events have changed their minds, and, with others,
ask what England has in view The conquest OF
Texas by Mexico implies, TO nearly hall millioh
of Anglo American Protestants, nurtured under
our institutions the loss of liberty, of conscience
freedom of the press trial by jury, and security OF
person and property, and Engahd VIII scarcely
venture openly to reduce Texas 10 this, or secure
if as dependency, conquered for her by proxy
She will aim surer blow at the Unlon BY medila'-
ing with Mexico, and securing for Texas some sort
of national existence upon anti-anneXation cohdi-
tions. That will save her the expense OF support
ing colony while flee-trade treaties will give her
every desired advantage, aud tell seriously on eve
nv section of the Union. The United States would
be much shorn in that great lever of international
power-the ability to supply or to stop halt the
looms of Europe The South would feel the ri
vary wherever she sells her staple; the East
would soon feel fountain of wealth, that shoulc
have flowed into her Golfers. pass into those Oft the
enemy: the West would lose an excellent markr
Just opening for her products, and the commercia
cities would see all this business done by European
ships in harbors where the stars and stripes would
have dominion. We have found thus far, ou
predictions of the importance OF Texas, and thu
secret interference OF England verified to the let
ter, and now we will 90 a step farther. 1t is the
. North, the hitherto opponent of annexation, tha
will ultimately suffer most il Texas is kept out o
the family circle. The new impulse, which tha
favorable market of consumption and supply woult
give the cotton manufacturers of Europe, could no
be entirely unfet here, and new demands for ''pro
lection" would be raised This the South, alrea
DIV wounded and depressed in their dearest interest
would not consent to; it would be more profitable
to unite with Texas. a southern confederacy OIL
free-rade principles would be hailed with joy b!
Europe The European powers would be promp
to acknowledge and aid such confederacy, am
the manufacturing States, losing al once the prin
cipa aliment Of their factories aud the chief buyer
Of their fabrics, would learn in three years wha
was due the brethren of the South, and perhap
admit that between States rs well as individuals
"tis wise to be loving and just"
