Clay's Letter on Annexation to Texas 1844
The North Alabamian printed a letter from Henry Clay dated July 27 1844 from Ashland.

He notes changing facts including settlement, Mexican control, and that annexation must preserve the Union. He states no personal objection to annexation and that slavery should not drive the decision, urging consideration of public opinion, legality, and national unity.
