III" We give Mr. Gay chc"'c' "'' ~
the passage most favorable TO their position tha
they can Gull from all his writings, done up and sea
soned with their own comments. Mr.. Clay says
that slavery forms no part of his objection TO An
nex,tjon Did he oryve ever say any thing contrary
TO this He says that II all his objections rere or
riaed he should rather be favorable than aycrse 10
Annexation Does be differ much from Anti Slave

us object not to the mere fact of Annexati but Il
certain mos, repulsvc conditions and consequences
OF that measured

Cd, Annexation might have been effected IN perfect
accordance with his published views. We answer,
SO il possibly might but ncrcr uhilc 1eTas 1c0'

tons were
l. The exDres, and free consent Of Nerico, with
out which he regarded the measure as an act OF
war toward our friendly ally. breach of public
faith. and of course a dark stain on our National
Honor;
q The common consent If tie Ua'on or, as he
elsewhere explained. the assent of all the States
of the Union, not of all individuals
g. That the Public Debt and other burthens OF
Texas shall in no case devolve on the Union.
Now we say it was not possible that the second
Of these conditions should be satisfied while Slavery
should be cherished in Texas No, one of the
Northern Whig States would consent 10 such union
or fail to protest against it, The deliberate, iorma
declarations of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Yer
mont aud Ohio against Annexation under any such
circumstances well known to Mr.. Clay and The
Country when his Alabama letters were written
Ali understood ihst the mass OF the Northern w hgs
and all the Wing Free States would inexorably op

The fact is. the Birneyitcs were determined from
the start that Mr. Clay should be defeated som'

Southern States against him. else be hunted down
