MR.. CLAY'S OPINIONS ON THE TEXAS
QUESTION

The opinion once held by Mr.. Clay, on the right Of
the United States TO Teas, is matter Of record
He believed the country ours, and denounc the
hand that dismembered II from us. What is his pre-.
opinion, in relation to its restoration by contract
treaty This question: he seems carefully to avoid
in his popular bsrangues fore tie PEOPLE
He faces the Tariff with such boldness and to an eI-
tent ultra, that his friends praise him for his intre
pidlty, although differing from him in opinion. But
the Texas question is another affair The feeling. as
well the judgment of The people, here concern
ed They desire TO know the part he will act in this
imporan, diana, and every day adds to the
that a moments time Is To be lost We rust that
he will not be permitted to pass through the States of
South and North Carolina, acting the demsgogue as
he manlfestly does without showins his hand IA this
important question.
There is hardly doubt but treaty for the ces-
sion Of Texas will be made and submitted 10 the Sc
nate al early day. The obtainment OF tso.tbirds
Of the Senate Tor its ratification is very doubtful
Mr.. Webster is already out with the best argument
he can give against the annexation. Our belief that
his letter Is unworthy Of his reputation goes for no
thing II will have its effect certain Senators and
there is man in this Union whose position would
enable him TO do so much TO countervall its influence
as Mr. Clay. We trust therefore that without loss of
time, he will make his opinions known. We hardly
doubt the side he will take this question he will
regard IT as one Of great national importance and
that It ought TO be passed by accam, by Senators
of all parties. This, we have no doubt is the op-
mon oil Henry clay. But we are not so certain that
he will express that opinion His New England friends
and Yankee editors North and South East and
West, are worse than divided on the subject
They are generally agans IT, They have inherited
settled opposition to the extension of the territories
Of the United states. Their native States will look
too small on the map their strange patriotism bids
them say no. We have no doubt they have fixed
paddock on Mr. Clays lips so far as the Texas ques-
ton is concerned. lie will not disclose his views
unless his Yankee friends lead the way We have
no doubt he by this time feels that he is surrounded
by difiicuties-he IS m wofhl quandary!
II is amusing to see Mr.. Webster attemptinp To
prove The unconstitutionaty Of the annexation Of
Texas. Every one knows il would be Of no conse-
quence with him II his wishes correspopded with the
measure. His latitudnaran doctrine. are never civ
en- up when he has darling object to accomplish -
But when he wishes TO raise constitutional oues

dents; he quotes these for exceptions. "Lousian.

hands oil the Democracy, as the only one which can
save our party from totsl destruction.
Resolved, That in declaring our fixed determine
ton to support John Tyler the Democratic candi-
date for the next Presidency hold that we devi.

c'pies Of our party, and if by doing we shall be
termed renegades and apostates, we hurI back upon

for John Tyler, the Chief Magistrate Of this great
Republic, for his double veto Of the United States

the Wing Congress The time and the circumstances
under which President Tyler sent his yetoes to the
two Houses of Congress, evinoc in the most de-
cided manner his inyincible devotion TO the CoDsti
tuition Of our country. Bred, as President Tyler has
been, at the feet Of Thomas JefFerson, the great
apostle Of Democracy, the nation was not mistaken
in believing that he would not become backsldcr
to his principles nor suly a whole life of political
purity by giving his assent to the lWhg money mon.
