CLAIBORNE, July 2l, lSl5.
 MEssRs. EDITORS :-tiaving seen one or two communications from the cou ltry to the Advertiser purportns to give an account of the wonderful ex- pioits of the whig candidate for Congress on the stump; and as have upon more than one occasion, heard that distinguished apostle of Federalism, l will give you d summary oi,he position he occupies beltre line people on ihe Texas question, together win that of his opponent.
 It IS usual with Col. Dunn to treat of ,his gues- ton fir st, , aud he seems attach great deal Of in pnriance to II, bv devotns, generally, al leas, half of his ime tu explanation ot his position. To who divest himself Of the Facts thai he Is a candidate for office, and that there isa well ascer taned popular majority in favor of annexation in this district, he certainly Is, seemingly, very honest and candid m his views. There IS, however, a giar- ing inconsistency in all that he says aSd one need onv hear him to be thoroughly convinced of the ut- ter aity of his position, and the vanity "i hls at- lempis tn sa'siy the friends of Texas. So far he las made no scrupe ia declaring that he has ever been, and IS now, opposed 10 annexation, and as signs as the prIncipal reason oi his opposition hs belief that il was political intrigue oi Mr. Tyler, in order To ngratate himself into the favor oi the people, and hus his election To 'he Presiden- c,-lhat il w,ll be breach of national faith tO the Mexican Government, and thai he never could see that any good would be derIved from il.
 Now, even admitting that il was m intrigue on the part of Mir. Tyler, (which l deny,) d'd that effect in inc slightest degree, the true merits of he

Dunn says 1t will be a breach of ional faith, and in supporting this objection quotes d letter of Slr Webster while Secretary ofSiaie, to the corresponding ohcer oi the Mex ican Government, in which he recognised the right of Mex,co reconquer Texas. In lis re- ply to this argument, Judge Dargan asked Col Dunn eff by annexation our Government would v'o, late any right which Mexico could claim to the soil of Texas?" To ihis he answered no! ibe question was repeated, and the same answer was gwen Now how Col Dunn can after such an admlssIon, insist that annexation would be breach oiaIih the part of our Government. leave for those wiser than myself to determine Had he replied m the ai- 6rnative and denied as he did, by vote, m The last Legislature, ''Fhnl the people of Texas are en titled of right to place among the nations oi me earth," there would he both consistency and plau- sibliiy in ihe argument.

Our Claiborne correspondent to-day gives dfTe~ rent version from that of he whg letter writers of the debates Ill lie country between Messrs. DAR- GAN and nUSS, the congressional candidates for this district. Mir. Dunn is man ofvery good abi- ties, and very respectable speaker, but il is a yer, broad attempt at imposition, which Mr. Dunn is loo sensible 10 have given any encouragement, to represent him oYerpoweriug Judge Dargan by the splendor of his eloquence the vast superiority ol his mind or logIc. To produce any effect these sto ries ought to have the air ofa decent probability al least It is only Captain Bobadil, and he in play, who is allowed with twenty men to free of an army o forty thousand, two hundred day for two hum dred days-by computation. IL is all easy thing to talk about, and the brag is made, but the great thing after all IS to do it. We direspect to Mir Dunn when we say in reply 10 the boasts of his lndiscreet followers that his victories in debate will
 burn out like those of the valiant Bobadil, all on pa
 er, ''on computation"
 In a letter we have received lrom-sp ps4saA where there was debate between the candidates, our respondent writes in the highest spirits oI the effort He considered Judge Dargan's speech as very fine and successful effort, and of lis consequences states that MT. Dunn was forced expressly to aban- don the tarli act u lsI2, and ";o pledge himself, il elected to congress, in the event oi the question coming before that ly 10 rote for the modification ''o it. so as bring down the duties 10 The rtnenus |" Wants 9f the gopernmcHt
 What even the tariff of lSi2, the peculiar great whig measure of 'reyenue" and "proleclion;" ru happily combined that h is exactly the best protec- tive tariff for the tariff proteconists, aud the best possible revenue bill for the revenue proleelionlsls!
 Is this, lhe chosen whg measure in which Mir. Clay sees possible defect for the perpetu,iion of which he pledged himself in the last canvas; is this 10 be renonnced and abandoned too, like the opposition lie opinion? Verify, the whig candidate IS making many submss IOns 10 the power and popularity o democratic doctrines that aiier while he may ar rive suddenly the conclusion that il would be bes for le people to be rep esenledb by real and origin al friend of the measures which they approve, rahel than who admitting the power of their will, pro- misses do il, if they will but trust him, ,ely much against his own conscience and of his du- ty and the public inieress. Upon what sort of ground Is whggery gong rest if, recognizing Ihe duty o submitting the expressed public opinion, il comes forward and asks to be entrusted with the power O legislation, in order carry out democratic mea- sures ?
