MEssRS. CLAY AND KPrMrn

re nave verbal accounts from Washington
winch state that Mr. Clay is about TO publish
'ihdication OF hls conduct, in which il will be
made 10 appear by his own certificate, that
kremer has been but the tool of Messrs. Cal
houn, McDuflie and lngham, and neither wrote
the original letter which appeared in the Go.
lumbIan Observer, nor any of the SUBSEQUENT
ones to which his name was attached.n
HE above Is extracted from private letter to
the Editor IL corresponds most strangely with the
following article from the Democratic Press of rho
18th inst. What shall bc said of this hopef,l hand
oi Cabalers! What terms Of reprohation are too
strong to apply to deceit so black-to ends 80 i'm
pure and unjustfabe: We level moi these remarks
at Mr. Calhoun. The man gifted IS he is, by n
o"un''tui ProvIdence-so elevated by the adn,ira-
ton and confidence of generous country, could
never descend Ia mix intrigue so infamous as
TO employ So miserable tool as Mr. Kremer.-
However it might suit Mr.. Cahouns prcsen, vir,vs
to destroy the confidence of the nation in the pre
sent administration, weshall never suspect him of
any thing dscfediable 20 the gentleman, or unwor
thy of the patriot. Why he should wish III Inc docs
wish) to- weaken the administration of Mr. Ada,,s
is understandable to those who are apprsed that
his earliest incnations were in favor of Mr.
Adams success-and who equally satisfied that
as a course of prudential forbearance his future
succession To the Presidency is extremely probable
We lay the article from the Democratic Press he
fore the reader:
From he Democratic Press.
From our intimate knowledge of Mr.. X, erner
and the political conduct of Mr.. Ing}a,n. they
are two of the last politicians in PENNSYLVANIA.
we should expect TO closely connected TO-
gether IN their political, or personal, concerns
That they have been so for some time we have
entertained no donbt; out that their intercourse
was of so confidential nature that the one
sinu sniff nd no oil,

we did not believe, until recently. We had
heard that Mr.. kremer was, at Washington
supposed to act under the immediate advice
and instruction of Mr.. Calhoun MIR. Inrba,n.
Mr. 11ayne, aud Mr.. McDuffie with whom me
was known to have had many private meetings.;
and we had heard, from good authority, that one
OF those gentlemen had undertaken, in his own
proper hand writing, to correct the letter sipn-
ed by Mr.. kremer. addressed to the Committee
and dated 9Th February; still we were in
credulous. We were determined as lone as
we could, to resist any evidence which should
exhibit our old friend George Kremer, as a nose
of wax, in the hands Of factious men, to model
and remodel, as their interests or their wbim
might dictate. 1t was, however, our duty to
ascertain all the facts as accurately as we could
and we wrote to Washington for information.
In one of our answers, from member
of the House of Representatives, the wri-
ter points out the interlineations in the lei
ter, sent TO the committee appointed by the
House, by Mr. Kremer, and saws, s'they oye
evidently in The haad0riting IF mr.. Ingham."
We really regret to be obliged to give credence
TO this fact. TIE whisperiDgs of ambition have
lured sOunder and stronger men than Mr. Kre-
mcr to ruin We shall return to this subject,
and adduce other evidence in support of the
opinion that certain members of Congress have
associated themselves together-we will not say,
conspired-tO attain the administration Of the
government Of the United States, and prepara-
tory thereto, to agitate Pennsylvania to its cen
tire. All the people require is 10 know the
truth; they are entitled TO know it, They are
too deeply interested TO permit it TO be with
held from them.
