nomination by that Convention. Mr

Tyler I think is determined to run, and tho

I would be glad to see him President yet

I am sure he cannot be elected even with

all the strength of the annexation ques-

tion. It must be some northern Tariff

man. Cass is the best chance — he has come

out in favor of immediate annexation.

Clay's friends in the South still say that

he will annex us if elected — how c an

he do so consistently with his letter?

They say they still go for Clay and

annexation. I send you a copy of

a letter from Genl Jackson to myself

in reply to the one I mentioned in

my last. I have only shown it to Cal-

houn and Walker in great confidence.

They are delighted to see his firmness

and look forward with great interest

to see the publication of the letter

he alludes to. The Treaty will not be

disposed of for several days.

Yours very truly

Henderson
