We pass over the Incidental rascalities Of this ar

rect and brief The imputaiion against Governor
SEWARD, of making Anti Clay speeches in West

SEWARD. virtually Withdrawing himself from press
ing professional duties. devoted the four months
preceding the last Presidential Election almost
wholly TO the cause His efforts were dsinteresied

campaign sacrificed more, nor were any mans ser
vices more needed. All Western and Northern
Newly ork, from Erie to Essex will not only bear
grateful testimony TO the patriotic and effective Ia

nounce the accusation Of the Express a gross ca

who claim exclusive devotion to him are responsible.
The patriotic independent Letter of Mr. CLAY.
from Raleigh y. C, against the admission of Texas
into the Hon, made perfectly safe issue for us in
New York. The Abolition newspapers. and the
Liberty Party leaders endeavored to agtate against
us but the great body OF the AbolitlonIsts with a
clearer and better view Of their duty, were going
with the Wigs against Texas and Slavery. In an
evil hour Mr. CLAY wrote Letter 10 Alabama, say
ing that Slavery had nothing 10 do with the Texas
question and that personally he had no objection to
H. Annexation. The fatal Letter sealed his fate,
and deprived the Country of a Wing President
