Judge correctly, thet there is decided msjority
in favor of Mr. Clay. There is few. to be
sure, favorably disposed towards Gen. Jackson,
but that number, comp aratively speaking, is but

between Clay. Crawford, and Adams--the two
latter can gain none, and the former viii lose
none"
A Jackson meeting was to have been held at
Berkley's Hotel, in Charles Town OIL Monday
