How rase SQUIRM!—Th e Clay papers v, ho sought
t, tritke capital cut of Clay's fist letter on the Texas
pea ion, have been' worully perplexed with his last
letter coming out for Annexation. They resort to all
sorts of twists. and expedients to save their shuffling
candidate from the contempt of all single-minded,
honest men. The weakest trick is that of the N. Y.
Tribune, which,.finding it impossible to explain or re.
candle the inconsistencies of Clay's last lettt r, goes
back to his letter to Raleigh', N.C., of April 19, 13 4 .1,
as containing his trite opinions on that question!.
What a palpable attempt to cheat the people! In the
South, the %big press makes - every attempt to
smother Clay's lett ,- .‘r to Raleigh, while his letest
lamer on Texas, is given as conclusive es idence of his
devotion to Annexation. In the sume manner his let
-ter to Cope in 54vcr of the present Tariff, is, superse
ded in 4.6 s wbig papers of the South by his letters to
Bronson and Merriwether, ahereirhe says it ought
to be altered and amended. Such are the misetable
shifts of whiggery. Can an honest people be swind
led out of their suffrages by such rascally schemesl--
IVe trust not.
FIDLEA t. Hort zsTr.—The Whigs advertised that
a splendid Danner would be presented to the county
that' would send the lar,:est delegation to the Con
vention• Many counties made a desperate effort to
win the prize, and among others, Beaver and West
moreland. When the delegates came in it was nonce•
dad by every one that Beaver would take the Banner,
aster delegation mustered about 700, and Westmore
land—the home of Gen Markle, had but 366 all told.
The contest was between these two delegations, and it
is clear to every one that Beaver was honestly entitled
to the prize. But in defiance of honesty or justice she
was cheated, and the Banner was handed over to West
moreland, with the hope that this fraud upon the whigs
of Beaver would induce wawa of the,.. - Lissolocrats of

Church, in this city in 1842, to have trampled upon the
American Flag, and made a speech there. As this
silly atoll is probably confounded with another trans.
action in which Mr Shrink took a part, and front which
it may havo derived some plausibility, we publish
the following facts.
In the spring of 1843, the German Battalion of Vol
unteers of this place received a flag from the common.
wealth, and by a resolution of the officers, Mr Shuuk
was appointed to present it, on the anniversary of the
birth of Thomas Jefferson. On that day the Battal
ion assembled in the City of Allegheny, when Mr.
Shrink presented the flag to Major Anderegg, the Com
mander of the battalion, on which occasion, Mr Skink
delivered the following address in the German lan
guage, which was then published in the German papers
and has now been translated fur the Post.
GERMAN FELLOW-CITIZENS:
I am rejoicr.d, and I am thankful for the bonorof
having been appointed to present this flag. First, be
cause I have been designated on the part of the coin.
munvvealth, to show its kindness towards this battalion;
and secondly, because on this occasion you celebrate
the hundredth anniversay of the birth of the immortal
Jefferson, the great apostle of liberty. The flag is as
ancient symbol of unity, and has for time immemorial
been used by the divisions of armies. We find froth
the Ist chapter of the 9th book of Moses, that the
Lord commanded the children of Israel "to pitch their
tents every man by his own ramp, and every man by
his own standard, throughout their hosts."
The flag or standard of any army is not used as an
idle ornament, but it has a higher and nobler object.—
In success it waves in triumph, and in defeat it is low
ered in despondency. The hero defends his flag, and
his name shines on the page of history. Thu
,coward
who deserts it is stamped with infamy.
You 'are an American German battalion, and are
associated as Volunteer soldiers to defend this, your
adopted country, your new fatherland. You are ar.
rayed here, not as Germans, but as citizens of this free
land? The nation from which you have sprung is the
warrant for your spirit and heroism, your love of
country, and devotion to the equal rights of all.
As Americans you have united to defend our bor
ders against all enemies of the repehlic, and by
your patriotism, I am assured that you will stand as a
wall of fire in her defence. And that this flag will
lead you only to victory. The motto it bears is the
motto of our beloved country, %gnus, Liberty and In
dependent:ol,mnd is an ieduoement to noble deeds and
honorable actions.
AUGHT SLAVERY TO AFFECT THE QUESTION OF
A x errs r toe—There is a radical difference of opinion
on this point. The Liberty party allege most vehe
meetly that it ought to affect the question, and that
the subject of Slavery should exclude Texas from the
Union. Mr. Clay says that Slavery ‘•ottght not to
affect the qiiestion one way or the other." Hear hi n:
"I have, hoe ever. no hesitation in saving that far
from bovine any personal objection to the annexation of
Texas, /should/pc glad to see it, without dishonor„'
without war, with the common consent of the Union,'
and upon just or fair terms. Ida notthink that the I
subject of Slavery ought to affect the questionvne
way or the other.”
But them me others beside the ,Liberty men who
disagree with Henry Clay on this point. In his Spee
at Springfield, a few days since, Daniel Webster said:
'And first, as to the enlargement of our Territory
by the annexation of Texas. For a hose interest is
that ? on what ground ought that to be affieted 1 My
opposition to that measure is neither temporary in its
nature nor character. It would be the same if Mexi
co were agreed to the annexation, as his new—jt:
would be 'he same were Texas to cost us nothing, as
though it coat us much. It is founded principally on
the sentiment which bas been illustrated and enlarged
upon here to•cluy. The great fundamental RV ER-
L Wrote; ohject ion to the annexetion of Texas is, that
it is a scheme for the extension of the African
race."
We will wager a peck of apples that these are whip
who will undertake to show. from the above text, that
Clay and Webster think (-racily alike on the Texas
question. After reading these sentences will any man
dare to contradict Webstet 's assertion that the “littion
of the whips is perfect."
HO CAN RECONCILE THESE' SENTIMEIYTS? "On
the principles laid down by Mr CLAY, there can be
no Annexation fur 'the purpose oc with the erect of
exteiding, fortifying and ,; perpotuatlng Slavery."—N.
1. Tribwole, Sept 7.
.1 do nut think that the subject of Slavery ought to
afi;•ct the questiozi one e•ny to the other."—H Clay's
lastletter . on Texas.
You have on example worthy of imitation in the
Germans who settled in Pennsylvania, prior to the
revolution. They left their homes and battled here fur
liberty. They left the graves of their fathers and the
places where they seor fed in youth, to er joy the equal
rights of man in this Western World. They were on
induattions and patriotic people. They spent their
property and spilled their blood in defence of liberty,
the love of which they cherished in their hearts,.
And when the great Declaration of the Indepen
dence of these States was announced,—the birth day,
of whose author we are celebrating, every German
American heart beat with joy and hope, and in the
contest that ensued, the. Germans were always on
the side of liberty. This touching example of your
predecessors, will lead you in the path of honor to re
nown, if ever our invaluable privileges should be
invaded. -
Before I present the flag, permit me to say a word'
of the distinguished author of the Declaration of In-'
dependence, Thomas Jefferson—whose centennial
birth day we are celebrating, was in his day one of the
must decided end mighty defenders of the equal rights
amen. His important services in the warier Liberty, '
and in organizing and conducting the government oft
the Republic, will be discussed by the reverend and
gifted orator of the day. Permit me, however, to re
peat one , of his sentiments, to which know you will
a ll resp on d, it is.--I have sworn upon the altar
m
of my God,etertral enmity reminst every fotm of tyranny
et the mind of man." His life proves his devotion
to this sentiment.
This flag has been given toyou by the State of Penn
sylvania as a token of approlmtion, and to quicken
your heroism, 'Ms practice on solemn occasions to
peesent Winners is an old practice. Among the an
cient 4 64rumpas, if a bight was 1114/.0 lead ten other
knights against the enemy,the Remo: gave him a bon-.

the flag to you, the major of this volunteer battalion,'
which has been organized to defend our liberty, our •
wives and ours hildren against the enemies of our father:,
land. Receive it, accompanied by the heart felt hope
and full confidence, that it will be a light to guide you
always to victory. Always keep Wale you the motto

From the,Lcxington Observer & Reporter.
ASHLAND, Sept. 2d. 1844.
MR WICK L IFVF.:—The editor ofa neighboring print
(the Kentucky Gazette, < f Lexington) calling my at
tention to a letter of C M Clay, Esri , utiderdate 10th
July. 1894, and addressed to Col J .1 Speed of Ithaca,
has appealed to me, with so much earnestness, and
with a purpose of such stnotrecled sincerity, to say
whether I approve or disapprove of that letter, that I
have not the heart to deny to that editor the very great
gratification he will derive from the perusal of this
-note, especially utter) it gives me so little trouble to
write it.
Mr C M Clay's letter was written without- my
knowledge. without any consultation with me,and with
out any authority from me I never saw it until I read
it in the public prints. That gentlemen is an indepen
dent citizen, having a perfect right to entert a i n end
avow his own opinions. lam not responsible for them,
as he is not for mine. So far as he ventures to in
terpret my feelings. he has entirely misconceived
them. I believe him to be equally mistaken os to those
in the circle of my personal friends and neighbors,
genet ally.
In my speech. addressed to the Senate nfthe United
States, and in resolutions which I offered to that body,
in my address to Mr Mendenhall, ahout two years ago,
and on various other publications, I have fully, freely,
and explicitly avowed my sentiments and opinions, on
the sobjeet of the institutionof slavery and abolition. I
adhere to them, without any reservation. I have neith
er entertained or expressed, publicly or privately, any
other.. And my friends and neighbors generally, so far
as I have interchanged sentiments with them, coin
cide entirely with me.
The sentiments and opinions so,.expressed
May be briefly stated tO bet lst That Congress y
has
no power or authority over the' institution of slavery.
2d. That the existence, maintenance and continuance
of that institution depend, exclusively; upon the pow.
er and authority of the respective States, within which
it is situated. And 3d: That Congress eannot inter
fere with Slavery in the District of Columbia, without
a violation of good faith to the states of Maryland and
Virginia, implied, if HOC expressed, in the terms, ob
jects and purposes of the grant often miles square to
the General Government.
So far from the success uf the whig cause having any
injurious tendency, us has been alleged, I believe it
will havd a powerful effect in tranquilizin g and har
monizing all parts of the Union, and in giving confi
dence, strength and security to all the great interests
of air country.
I hope that your editorial neighbor will be now sat
isfied. And, as I trust that Ido not exaggerate the
pleasure which this renewed expression of my views
and opinions will give him, is ittoo much to anticipate
that he will forthwith renounce the error of his ways,
and come straight out a staunch and sterling whig ?
Yours respectfully, H. CLAY
