a li:ete:i from mr. clay Ashland. Sept. 23. 1844. Gentlemen: Since my nomination at Baltimore in May !at, bv the whii Convention, as a candidate for the uflice of President of the United Slates, I have received many letters p. ;.iin ling t. me questions on ptiblic affairs, and o:hers may hava been addressed to me which I never eceived. To most of those which hive readied me I have replied; but to some j of them I have rot, because either the subjects of which they treated were such as that, in respect of them, my opinions, I tho't. ?.a.l been sufficiently promulgated, or that

speech which I addressed to the Senate of the United Slates morr than three years ago. I

avowed my opposition, Tor the reasons there slated, to the assumption, by the General Government, of the debts of the several Slates. It wes hardly, therefore, to be presumed that I

could be in favor of assuming the unascertained debt of a foreign State, w ith w hich w e have

no fraternal ties, and whose bad fait'i or violation of its engagements can biing no reproaches upon us.

Having thus, gentlemen, made the apology

almost every political speaker opposed to the election of the Hon. Henry Clay, and is heral-

I have been the Pastor of the First Presby

ed to me. But, on further reflection, it an

peared lo me that if 1 imposed this silence upon myself, I might, contrary to the uniform tenor of m v lif., seem t be unw illing frankly and fearlessly "to submit my opinions to the pubiie judgment. I therefore so far deviated front my first purpose as to respond to letters addressed to me, making inquiiiesin regard to

u!iiects which had been much agitated. Of

ih-? answers wbich I so transmitted, some were intended exclusively for the satisfaction

of my c rre-pon lents. without any expecta

tion on my part of their being deemed worthy

of pnbleaio,i. In regard to ihose which have

bean presented lo ihe public, misconceptions and erroneous constructions have been given to some of them, w hich I ihtuk they did not

.-Authorise, or which, at all events, were con trarv to mv intention.

In announcing my determination to permit no odior letter to te drawn from me on pub lie Kifairs, I think it right to avail myself of ihe occasion to correct ihe erroneous inter prei uiott of one air l wo of those I had previously written. In April last I addressed to you, front Raleigh, a letter in respect to the proposed treaty annexing Texas to the United St;it"i. and I have sitire :id.l re.;d lvn teller

ui a;,!li!Ha upon tne tame su.uect. Most tin

warranted a',1 -gallons have been made that those letters ;re inconsistent w ith each other, and. to make it eut, paiticular phrases or expressions have been torn from their context, ;nd a meaning attributed to me w hich I never entertained. I wish now distinctly to say that there is not a iceiiUij, a sentiment, or an opinion expressed in my Raleigh letter to w hich I do not adhere. I am decidedly opposed to the immediate annexation of Texas to the United States. I think it would be dishonorable, might involve

ihcm in a w:tr, would be dangerous to the mleerity and harmony of the Union, and, if all these objections were removed, rould not be effected according to any information I possess, upon just and admis-nhle conditions. It was not my intention, in either ol the two ietters which I addressed to Alabama, to

express any contrary opinion. Representations had been made to me that I was considered as inflexibly opposed to the annexation

Dt. J. G

Very respectfully,

Your ob'i servant, II. B. Bascom. Goble.

Although this letter was not originally in

tended for the public eye, Dr. Bascptn wm in

duced to consent to its publication. Imme

diately upon its appearance the Locofoco press throughout the entire countrv commenced an

attack upon Dr. Bascom, assailing his charac-

and relying exclusively upon calumny for sue cess. We doubt not that the infamous char

ges made against Mr. Clay, where lie is per

sunally unknown, and where authentic contra

diction have not reached, have, as their tin

principled authors intended, had an effect upon

the public mind. If believed, they certainly

could not fail lo have an effect seriously inju

nous to Mr. Clay. ho, if for a moment he

believed in the malevolent and slanderous ac

ter for veracity at.d piety, and uiterina asainst pl,!,a,ion!!! which have been piled mountain

him almost every denunciation and calumny

winch reckless malignity could invent. All who know Dr. Bascom know these imputations

to be utterly untrue, without even a shadow of

foundation, li s pubiie and private character are elevated far above just reproach, and cannot be effected by Ihe outpourings of his un

principled and (ruthless traducers. The El

high upon Mr. Clay by his enemies, could con

scientiously vote for such a man -such timons

ter rather wearing the form of man? Thi

the abandoned villains we know no milder

term by which lo des gnate them, and this is far too mild well know, and on this they have relied. Above is a refutation, thorough and

complete, of every calumnious charge of this
