We may say in this connection, that tie

the appraisers as set Of spectators, whose

rent swindlc advocated by the Journal; and
the policy to force all the lands into market

Ma. ADAMS FOR THE ANNEXATION OF
Mrx'eo!--The Washington correspondent
Of tho Baltimore Sun notices startling ri.
NOR, "lhat Mr.. @. Adams will avail HIM
self Of the frs. opportunity TO declare him.
self in favor of the acquisition of the whole
OF Mexico" The ground Mr.. Adams takes
is said to be, that the north will not conse mt
to Mexico's coming in as slave territory,
and therefore, by aanexing it as non-slave.
holding territory, itwillat once fix the boun-
diaries Of the institution, and give the free
states such prcpcndcrance as will insure
its extinction at an early day. The ground
taken by Mr. Clay, as to the "fxation of
tn" Texas boundary" Mr.. a. regards as the
ia'tand most cunning trick of the slavchold-
ers to perpetca,c the institution, as the in.
fension is only to hold Mexico in reserve
until the Shareholders are ready to 20 upon
1t with their peculiar property.

Nor ron CLAy.-The Springfield Jour
nal, notwithstanding the shout and hulrah
tina, has been raised by the wing patty in
Illinois in favor of Henry Clay since the APP
pearancc Of his Lexington pronuncidmcnio,
has a long and well written article in oppo-
sition TO his becoming the wing candidate
for the presidency, and in favor of the nom.
ination Of Gen. Taylor. The Journal has
no difficulty in showing that the nomination
Of Mr.. Clay would only be the precursor to
another overwhelming defeat of whiggcry.
while their only hope Of success is in the
nomination fTaylor. The Journal is right
There is no man in the country whose nom
nation by the wings the democrats would
fear more than that Of Gen. Taylor. But
there is an insuperable difficulty in the way
Of such a nomination. Gen. T. has uniform
ly and ON fifty occasions declared his deter
minalion not to run as a party candidate.
In a letter as late as the 18th Sept, the very
latest we have seen Of his writing, to the
democratic Rough and Ready Club" of
New York, he makes the following cmphat-
ic declaration:
''In regard TO the Specification of my APP.
