He wasopjKjsod to tho annexation of Texas, for a variety of reasons it was unconstitutional it was irnolitic its tendencies wero to perpetuate slavery and .southern influence in the control of our government, and there were no counter-balancing equivalents. Ho supported Henry Clay (who was no kinsman of his unless very remotely) for tho Presidency, because ho had ever been the friend of Ii ifo-li nil rnniitnnu nm 1 1 1 1 inr-M U'lf hrtnr

When ho (Mr. C. M. Clay) was a enndidato for tho Legislature, tho contest was in regard to his views of emancipation, and notwithstanding the tremen dous excitement of tho canvass, greater than ovor hrforo or since, and tho prodigious weight of wea I h. larin v influence and evorv thin" c so i that could be arrayed against him and his cause, Hknkv Cl.iv sustained him in it and succeeded. Ho ilid not agreo entirely with Mr. Clay in his views as to the annexation, for ho did not think thoro was any constitutional power to make it under any circumstrfticos, but it was a difference I that amounted to nothing practically. Ho had carefully scanned tho three letters of Mr. Clay, 'including that printed ami distributed by thousands about the city this morning, by the demncrrirv. lllonll fnvnrnt llir i.lnri Iwi br'ivni! nml ho found that Mr. Clav imposed such 'restrictions

He Itoliovod that mmi wero competent to govern themselves and that our form of (lovernment was the best men could have, and conferred upon them the greatest measure of happiness. Ho docs not think tho question of slavery should cfleet tho question of annexation, as slavery is inevitably is elected there will be no annexation now, and beforo it could be brought alwnt after his term, wo will got public sentiment at tho South corrected.

Whilst engaged in viewing tho ruins of tho fire in Brighton street, early on Sunday morning a friend called our attention to an interesting circumstanco which is worth relating. In the front room of one of tho humblest dwellings, which was but partially burned, stood tho charred remains of a small tab'o with two or three chairs near it. Oi: the floor, directly beneath this stand, lay tho blackened remnants of a largo volume, which on a closer inspection, turned out to bo the Bible. The evening previous was Saturdays evening, and every tiling about the room indicated that just before retiring to rest, tho family wero assembled around this tabic, ongagod in tho duties of tho family altar.

Something of tho kind had passed, in the heat of debate, between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. (iirosvenor: but, as alfairs of this sort were thcu conducted with great privacy, it was not knowr., or known to very few, that a duel was to result from it.

The inquiry passod from mouth to mouth. " here's the SjieakcrT' " hat in tho world has boon no of tho Speaker?" An hour elapsed, and yet no Speaker. At length, it came to bo understood that Mr. Calhoun and Crosvenor wero that morninir to

They were amongst my firt acquaiutaricri in Tonnossoe, amongst my first compatriots in arms and the field from whom I always, and on the most trying occasions, received the most prompt and efficient aid. No. my dear sir. 1 have not forgotten vou. and as long as my faculty of recollection remains, I cannot forget tho KussolPs nor tho Doans. My memory for your father and his noble deeds in war is as fresh as it was when ho was so gallantly leading on his company to battle and to victory. I never can forget him, or your gallant brother who was wounded in tho b ittle of Tallahatchy and died of his wounds, anJ the arduous, long, and gallant services of your father, throughout the whole war. It would give me great pleasure to see you at tho Hermitage. I am greatly debilitated; reduced to a skeleton, with a constant cough and a pain in rny loft side with, lately, great shortness of breath I can scarcely wield rny pen, but delighted to hear from you and your numerous family, I have summoned up resolution to attempt it. It is true we have been cursed with whiggery in Tonnessoo for several years; led into it by two of the most arch hypocrites the world was over cur" sed with. Hut since the Democratic Convention at Baltimore nominated Polk for President, and Dallas for Vice, tho Democracy is united -gathering strength from thc Whig, who nre abandoning Clay daily, and next November will bury whiggery in Tennessee, and over tho whole United .States, and federal whiggery will ha buried, I trust, forever. The exciting question between the Democrats and federal Whigs and abolitionists, is the annexation of Toxas. Tho Democracy, viewing it as absolutely necessary to secure Texas to the United States, to shut out all British and foreign influence from tampering with the Indians on our western frontier, and with our slaves in the southwest and west. Clay, with his federal whigs and abolitionists aro for shutting tho door against tho annexation of Texas, fearful of olTending England, and Clay to get the abolition votes, notwithstanding Texas is all important to our national defence and safety. How humiliating to every truo American tho idea of America, a great and independent nation as we are, to bo overawed by tho dictates of F.ngland. But Texas must and w ill be ours. I think Polk and Dallas will get 20 out of tho 20 States. I must close with tho request that you tender my kindest wishes to your amiable wife, and all your dear children, and all the Beans, and to you and them long lives and a happy immortality w here 1 hope to meet you. Your friend sincerely, ANDREW JACKSON. ToCapt. Wm. Russell, Pleasant Hill P. O., Franklin Co., Ark. The Mar that XeTer Sl-rERMOST.
