. itxam cams is flatteringly ccrioced
ii coficeioo with tho nornicatisa of a
. iiDilito to fan by th Whii hr Gov
iroor of the Sine, at i,ho next election.
Tilt suggestion of my cme, coming as it
; jjoet-from a distant part of tho Slate, whece
JhifO never been, and! where'l have so
f,w acquaintances even, is 1 compliment
of which I may and do, feci truly proud
Tou will therefore, 'please allow me, in
lia firit place, tooEcr to you, and through
. jca to thoie who composed the, meeting,
pj mast grateful and uaaffecled acknowl
edgements, for the honor jou have done
tr.9, and to cxris my regrets th'at I have
icr.a no more u deserve it. -
Ahhough it may by soma to. considered
premature that I should anticipate the ac
tion of the Convcr.lion, yet. I fuclit to bel
iIjo to the Whigs of tl.e State, as well as
to mjielf, to respond promptly to your ati.
gestien oT my name. Although I have no
right to calcuhle.brforehand; ooiherhouor
of fe nomination being tendered torn. 'by.
the (Junventiart, yet I am aware that I have'
some friends in the State who will cordial
ly second ty our movement , and I consider
ii duo ta them as wilt as lony Iriend in
Buncombi, who hove'taltcn he lead in the
matter, that my views and feelings should
not be conceited for fa day.' I have -.no
vim' desire to receive a- nomination by the
Convention, if such a thing were proba
te, merely for the purpose of declining it,
and in order to prevent any mtsunderstan
. ding or misdirection of public; feeling a
mopg the. Whigs of the State, I deem it
jf roper to speak in time, and without re
icrvr. Fur these reasons 1 foci myself
compelled to aav to you, that I must de
cline allowing my name. to be presented to
tho Convention whenever it assembles;
- irtd request that in the, various interchan
ges cf upinionjon this subject, among Our
Whig friends .in the State, attention may
no longer be directed to me, but be con.'
cc titrated on some other person.
I assure you, thai in pursuing this course
I am ntrt influenced by any tfiidue esti
mate of the honor, and importance of the
cilice of Governor. " To be the Chief Ma.
gistraie of one of the sovereign States of
th!s Union, is an honor which should sal
ijfy. the ambition of any one; and. to be .-ei
, Iecicd as tho candidato of the Whig party
of North Carolina, fur that st$tion, is the
highvit1 testimonial any one o(her aom
', could receive, that lie had done his duty
to his country. .
Among, tho various, considerations that
hiTe broujlil rhe to my present conclusion,
il will be sufTicicnt to menttoJl th? follow.
In of a. personal character. In the first
' pce, my principal agricultural "interest
is m ihe South West Until that interest
(bat iirtcly located) becomes more fullys.
' Ublished and, secured, I shall be neces
jrily compelled to beabsent front the State
Jjt soine time during eTery ycar; so much
o, as to render a due attention to my bu
sincts incompatible with a discharge of
the dujies' of jhe' Executive.' oCice of the
S.ate. We9 this the only objection how.
ever, I might be induced to forego it, if
called on by Wbigs of the State to make
the sacrifice, but in the, second place, I
hoDes;ly and conscientiously believe, that
in a vigorous canvass, of 'the State which
established usage seems to have preseri
bed as duty-I should jeopardise my
life: : I hsve for years been subject to vio
lent s,:tackl of illness, caused by aome de.
rangement of my nervous ; system, and
these attacks are invariably ' consequent ,
a'poQ, onuiuarexcileineot and fatigue. By
objecting mysejf to tfw eonstant labor and
exposure of an' .energetic canvass for
ooihs, I should bo -doing' gTeat' injustice
tq mvself and my family fa hazarding rr.y
heahh,aod as I believe my lif also; and
1' should be doing great injustice to "the
S partv of the State, in undertaking a
.. dutv whichX could not satisfactorily dts
chirj.
Those who knovr rae will' hardly charge
Be with any flagging of xeal in behalf of
the great conservative principles of the

.The announcement thai Henry Cly
would address the citizens cf Lcxir:cn
to-day drew together an imrrisnso cd.t
course. .The.day opened gloomily enough,
and, rain fell during the morning; but
fore the meeting was organized it hid
cleared sufficiently to permit the meeting
to be held at the time appointed 11
o'clock A. M.
At that hou,r a vastxrowd had gathered
from all quarters "and it appeared that
many had come a great 'distance; the most
intense anxiety prevailed,' and the a ecus,
iomed enthusiasm which Mr. ClaJ invaria
bly awakens in the people was every where
manifested.. Tb Prophet that had fore,
told the war, Was to answer tho yenrninij
desire of the nation to know how the
unholy 'war, whose advent he had pro
phesied, should be brought to a close; how
the country houW protect itself from the
.recklessness of. a blindly ambitious and
weak-minded President j and the will of.
the nation ' be majo knuw,n ifi its most
impressive .form.: ' All seerneat'pi . feel that
it was a'deeply.importint event, ahat would
stif tho Union from one end tot tho. other;
and it was in that' spirit they await,ed,ihe
advent bf the Sag of Ashland-- .'
. ,Mr. ' Clay ascended the. pla'jform, ac.
compained by some, of Iris :.lriends','amid
universal and tremendous shouts,.' and
took his seat. He .looked well,, and; h
form was erect and kfsKeyes" as brgitas

Gen. Lrslie Combs called the asscmb!ge
to - order ." and remarked 'that he hoped
perfect Order and sije'nce would be obser.
ved, as ii was probable the last time the
illustrious Statesman then before them
would ever address a popular assembly.
He had resolved to do it on thjs occasion
from a high seme of duty to himself and
fiis country. .The momentous question
now presented to"3 the American , people of
annexation, by contpiest'or purchase, o,f
an immense extent' of foreign'teryitory, irr
habked by . millions of people oJ(i8crent
races and colors, and placing them on an
equal' footing with the free citizens of this
"Republic, " permitted no man' who loved his
country-la remain silent, and tlenry Llay
would he unworthy of his"- past history if he
allowed any selfish considerations to pilsy
his tongue; He had rather be eight, than
be4Pfeident,, , .
. : Gen; Combs concluded his .-remarks by
nominating .. the (loo. Mr. Robinson as
Chairman;.;-; and 1)6 nomination, together
with! ihose4 a considerabfc rtumber (
Vice ; Presidents, '.was confirmed by ac.
clamation. " The8 meeting, being , ihus fully
organixed . :""; 1 :
, Mr, Clay rose and presented himself to
the people. His appearance was hailed as
before with tremendous shouts, to. which
followed 'a deep and ' general silence,' and
he then offered and read .the following
Resolutions, which he hadpr.cp'ared:
. Is?. Resolved, As the opinion of this
meeting that the; primary - caose of the
present unhappy war existing between tho
United' Slates of America and the United
States of .the Republic of. Mexico, was
the annexation of Texas to the former; and
the' immediate occasion of hbspliiies be.
tw'eenthe two Republics arose out of the "tr
ier of the President of the U.S. for the re
moval of the army under the command of
Gen. Taylor focri .its position at Corpus
Christ! ;o a point opposite to : Maamoras,i,
on ine easi oann 91 iite uio oraio, wumn
the territory vcla.im'edvbyj; both Republics,
out tnen.unoer ;ne jorisarction 01 niexico,
and Ki habited by its citizens; that! the order
of the PrcslaVpt' for; thf removp.1 of the
army to j that point ;was improvident and
unconstitutional, it being without the con
currence of Congress,' or even; any con
suitation with it ,al though' if was jn session;
but that Congress havings by subsequent
acts recognized the war thus, brought into
existence without its previous authority or
fonsettt; the prosecution 'of it became
thereby national. ' , " ' '
2 J. Resolved, That, in the absence of
any format and public declaration-by Con.
gress of the objects for which the war
ousht to - be prosecuted, the .President .of
the U. State?, as Chief Magistrate, and as
Ommaoder-in Chief cf the Army and
Navy of the United Statfes, is left to the
guidance of his own judgment to prosecute
ii for snch purposes and object cs be may

vested with powers to declare var and

for the purposes and objects so declared by
Congress,' j; would bo the duty of the Gov
eroneni.to prosecute the war with the ut
most vigilance unlit they were attained by
a treaty of peace. '
' 6th. Resolved, Thatw-e view with .se
rious alarm, and are utterly opposed to any
purpose of annexation of Mexico to the
United States, in any mode,' and especial
ly by conquest; that we believe the two
nations could not be happily governed by
on 3 c 'rrnoa authority, owing to their
great d.iTjrcnco of race, law, language,
and reliin, and the vast extent Of their
respective territories adl! largo amount of
their respective populations; that such a
union, against concept of the cxaspe.
raed .Mexican people, coulsi only be ef
fected and preserved by large standing
armiej and tho cfanf' application of
military force; in other words, by despotic
sway, exercised over tha Mexican people
in the' first instance,. but Tvh'ih there would
be just cause to apprehend might io pro
cess of ,tim6 ba .extended over tl.p". people
of the United States. JrThat we deprecate,
therefore. such a anion as wholly incom
patible with the genius "of our Goverriment,
and with , the "character of .'our freo and
liberal institutions; and we anxiously hope1
that each nation may be left in the undis
turbed possession of its o win laws, lan
guage,' cherished religiorr add tarrttoryi
to pursue its own happiness to 'what it
may deem best fo itself.'-
. 6th. Resolved :That considering the sc
ries of splendid and brilliant victories a.
clriecd by pur brave " armies and their
gallant commanders' during the war with
Mexico,' unattended, by a .single reverse,
the United Stales,, without any danger, of
their honor suffering the slightest tarnish,
can practice the virtues of moderation and
magnanimity, toward their discomfmed foe;
we have no desire for the. ..dismemberment
of tho Rep ublic of Mexico but wish oaly
a just and proper fixation, - of the limits of
Texas. .';.-.,
7th. Resolved, That we do positive
and vemphaticajly disclaim end disavow
any wish or desire on our part to acquire
any foreign territory whatever fur the pur
pose of propagating slavery, or of "intro
ducing slavery front tli& United .Statts'jnU)
such foreign territory. ' "-
V 8ih. Resolved, That we invite our fel
low citizens of the UnitedSittes who are
anxious Or the restoration of the blessings
of peace; orV if the existing . war shall con
tinue 10 be' prosecuted ; are ' desirous that
its purposes; a'od objects shall be defined
and knowd who are anxious to avert pre
sent and further perils and dangers with
whiclt it may be fraught, and who are also
anxious to produce contentment ani satis
faction at. home, and to elevate . the nation.
al character abroad, to assemble together
in their, respectivecommuniiies, .and to
express their views, ..feelings, and opin
ions. ! ,
. Id the, commencement of his remarks
upon these Resolutions, Mr. Clay stated
his objections to having ( them reported,
and made generally known, until they had
undergone his own supervision, as the
subject upon wliich he was about to speak
was one upon which he wished not is ts
misunderstood.. ...
' In concluding his speech, Mr. Cay fit
vowed himself to be wrongly opposed to
the extension of slavery, deplored its ex
istence, but remarked it as a universal evil.
He considered the refusal to accept ccv
Territory as the best means of arresting
the difficulties thar surrounded iUh impor
tant, but delicate subject. '. j.
. The speech occupied two. fcars and a
half in its delivery. TThe speaker adher
