M. Clay has lately emancpated his slaves, which
were estimated to be worth forty thousand dollars
WASHINGTON, MARCH 80.

The National Intelligencer announces that the
Mr. Henderson, minister of Texas, arrived on the
previous evening.
The Hon. John G. Calhoun arrived in Charles
ton. S. G. on the Goth ult. on his way to Washing
ton, to enter upon his duties as Secrearyof State.
He was cordially and enthusiastically greeted by
the citizens without distinction of party. He was
to leave on the 9th for Washington.
The Madisonan says there is rumor in Wash
ington "thot certain NJ @. has received letter
from Mr.. Van Buren,, declaring himselfin favor of
annexation, and which is to be published after the
Connecticut election"
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Courier says it is understood there that Mr.. CLAW
is opposed to the annexation of Texas until after
the election. What are his views after that, is
unknown I-.Moraing Chronicle,

c, NJ, Claws Letter,

This letter has just arrived, and we hasten to
lay it before our readers, though we have room to
say scarcely word respecting it This week. We
have always expected he would vote for Henry
Clay, his near relative and personal friend. Prob
ably the wings will endcavor to use it for the pro-
motion Of their cause, but the reader will easily
see that his refusal to answer the two whg ques-
tions--: If the Third Party, or Liberty men, should
have an Electoral ticket in your State, would you
vote that ticket in preference ?-were you citizen
of Ohio, which of these tickets would you vote ?"
is a virtual admission that he would vote the
Liberty ticket did he live where there was Lib
erty party organized; and he intimates that he
shall go with that party after the present year, at
all events. He stands, if we mistake not, just
where Rev. Kiah Bailey did four years ago.

{" rejoice, that the abolition Of slavery throughout the
civilized world is no longer rrobematca; it seems to be
almost universally conceded that this supendous fraud
upon PORTION of the human race is fast drawing to
close and the great question whus is truly, what
are hest suited to accomplish this desirable end in
the United States. r.
political action is necessary TO produce
moral reformation in nation and that action with US
only be eectualy exercised through the ballot box.
And surely the ballot box can be used for more
noble purpose than to restore and to every
his inaienabe rights. "-Thomas .MorriS.

Song Singing. The verdict of the coroner's in
quest over defunct Locooism in ls45 will probably
read-"died of Wing minstrelsy." The great Globe
not only announces. that "Mr. Van Buren, would
not accept Of the Presidency if sung into it," but
that ant-musical journal devotes another column
and half to decrying "Natonal Mins,relsy." The
Globe, however closes its dolorous jeremad with
couple OF Wing songs in print-,he editors don't
sing mot bad idea for Whigery BY the way, as it
gives the rank and file Of the Loco party an oppor
III NIFTY to JOIN the chorus when they come over to
the Wings without waiting to learn words or music
lessons.
This will be great singing year. and is as USE
less as it proved in 1910 for the anti musical iourn
nails to try to close the throats of men, women and
children. Clay Gee Clubs too are stunning their

to inform the Globe we shall have rouser in this
