THE SPECTATOR MADISONIAN-
Mr. CLAY

From the tone of the Spectator Of Saturday
in reference to Mr.. Clay's letter, we take it for
granted that the Editor of that paper will not
condescend to live any longer in country so ia.
tally given over to wicked councils as he repre-
sents the United States to be- We expect to
hear of his departure for Texas one of these
fine mornings; and if he will take Capt. Tyler
and John Jones with him, the country will be in
some degree consoled for the loss of his own
valuable services He says that MIR. Clay's let
ter will be death to the treaty, and piously prays
that it may be the political death of Mr.. G. him
self Weby no means think that the death OF the
treaty is attributable to Mr.. Clay-we have no
belief that it could have passed the ordeal Of an
enlightened and patriotic Senate; whose sense of
national faith and honor must have spurned it
without the Intervention Of Mr. Clay or Mr..
Anybody-else.
The Madisonian takes the letter in better hu-
NOR, not, however, without attrbuting unworthy
motives to its author. This was to be expected
in press of the mercenary character which is
inseparable from the supporters of Tyler. The
Editor affects to chuckle over Mr.. Clays letter,
as its tendency will be to defeat what he terms
Mr.. Webster's conspiracy against him. The
vindctve abuse Of Mr.. Webster by the Tyler
organ, which his master doubtless suggests and
approves, would seem to proceed from feeling
of wounded pride, because Mr.. w. found it
incompatible with his honor and dignity to re-
main in association with band of unprincipled
political traders No better motive can be ina
gined or assigned for the reckless charges of the
Madisonian.

Mr.. CLAY'S LETTER.

Much of our paper is occupied this morning by
Mr.. Clay's letter on the al-engrossing subject of
the Annexation of Texas. We consider it one
of the most important papers ever published in
this country, of an unofficial character, and it will
scarcely fail to give additional strength and tone
to public opinion in reference to the question upon
which it treats already strongly expressed. Mr.
Clay has spoken, as he always speaks, with deci-
sion and bodness, leaving no part Of the subject
untouched, nor the least loop to hang doubt upon
in regard to his views. Whether these are in
accordance or conflict with those of the great
mass of the American people, he has not stopped
to inquire: they were his own, and being called
upon to present them to the public, he has done
SO in the most able, clear, explicit and satsfacto-
ry manner In presenting this letter to our rea-
ders, we could scarcely say less, and to add more
would be but an attempt to gid refined gold
We will, therefore, only call the attention of our
readers to it.
