.1fi'. Editor:-Will you permit me through your columns, to present my thanks to the writer of an article in your paper of August 7th over the sig nature of Senex." Since reading that article, l have been perfectly satisfied as to my duty touch- ing the coming presidential election. l feel per- fectly confident, that by voting for Henry Clay, l am not "choosng between two evils," but under all the circumstances, am choosing < he great est possible good 7: for it is morally if not absolute ly certain, that if Mir. Clay and Mr. Polk live, one or the other will be our next President; and ve- rily believe that the prosperity, the political sal Udtion even, of our country, depends upon the car rying out of Whig principles, and the abolition of slavery: and confident as I am, that MT. Clay, if elected, will use his influence to carry out those principles, and that he will at lest do nothing to increase the evils of slavery; and the contrary, believing if Mir Polk is elected, he will exert all his influence to annex Texas to this Union, and thereby perpetuate the accursed system we are la- boring to abolish; likewise to destroy the proec- ton of American labor. and revive the subtreasury system, feel that although neither of those gen. tletnen may be my first choice, yet can very con- scieniously vote for Mir. Clay and indeed feel il to be my bo0adea duty to do so, for l am bonnd by my oath, that whenever am called to give my vote or suffrage, touching any matter that concerns this State, the United States. shall give it, shall judge will conduce to the best good of the same, without respect to persons or favor of any man"-and as I before remarked, either Mir. Clay or Mir. Polk, must be our next President-and be- lieving it vastly more for the interest of the coun try, to elect MT. Clay than Mir. Polk to that office ifI give my vote for third party, thereby dimin- ishing the chances of MT. Clay, and increasing the chances of MT. Polk, shall not give it as judge will be for the best good of the country.

 I can therefore, in view of this whole subject sswth conscience void of offence toward God and toward man, give my vote at the coming election for Henry Clay and if permitted to cast vote or that ocaasion, shall do so
