Yet my fellow citizens, il is a melsn-
choly fact, that Mr.. Clay has made MIR.
Adams president, in direct opposition
TO the known will Of the psopIe-an
act OF daring aud d~eSparate usurpation
which Is only exceeded by the yielding
compliance WITH which he receives the
reward of his treachefy TO his prnl-
clples and abandonment OF duty TO his
constituents
From Tie National Journal, .March /.
"Rremer's .7ddrtss," or the conspird-
CT unraiied III the person whose name
appears at the bottom OF an address ITO

district of the tate Of Pennsylvania

is not the case, il becomes our duty 10
state, as well in vindication OF the sad
'lonorabieo MIR. kremer, as to place
The matter in a proper light before our
readers at a distance, that his name has
only been borrowed by Others, for tine
purpose Of eiiectlng, III greater security,
the most d~iabollcai purposes. We know
the whole band oil midnight plotters "a
gainst the peace ofthe country, OF whom
this poor unlettered John Doe is the
witless instrument, and shall probably
ere long take occasion to expose their
names, as well as their sebems, to the
execration of all honnest men; but at
present we shall merely offer the author
ity OF Mr.. X. himself for say ing, that
neither the letter to the committee OF
the house of representatives, which
bears his signature, nor this address
to bus constit uents, expresses his sem
timents. What MIR. Kremer's opinion
of Mr.. Clay, and OF his conduct in re-
lation to the presidency, really are,
may be seen from the following state
ment Of a conversation with that gem
tleman, by two members of the house
OF represe natives. One of these menu
bers. Mr.. Brent, of Louisiana, although
he preferred Mr.. Clay to either of the
other candidates for the presidency, is
known, even before the commence
ment Of tine session, during the whole
of it, to have repeate d his preference
for Dir. Adams in the second instance.
Col Little, az old and respectable mem
Der of the house from Mary land, voted
for generalJackson.O Our reason for mem
tioning these facts will readily be seen.
We are authori zed to state that Mr..
Brent, Immediately after preparing, yes
terday, his statement of the conversa-
ton, with MIR. kremer, sent a copy Of
it to that gentleman. We state further,
on proper authority, that Mr.. Dudley
Digges, a gentleman we'll known ia this
city, was present, and heard the con-
versation here stated to have taken place.
state, without hesitation, that on
the day on which the debate took place
in the house of representatives, on the
proposition to refer MIR. Clay's commu-
~nication respecting Mr.. Kremer's card TO
acommitte | heard Mr. Kremer declare,
at the fire place, in the Libby of the
house of representatives, in a manner
and language which | believed sincere,
that he never intended to charge Mr..
Clay with corruption or dishonor, ia his
intended vote for DIR. Adams as presi-
dent or hat he bad transferred, or
could transfer the votes or interests of
his friends; that he (Mr. Kremer) was
the last man in the nation to make such
a charge against Mr. Clay; and that his
Mr.. Kremer's) letter was never inten-
ded to convey the ideas given to il. The
substance of the above conversation |
| Immediately communicated toMr BGeh-
anan and MIR. HernphiIl, of P~ennsylva-
