"Mr. Kremer's address," or the conspi-
racy unUeiIed.-If the person whose
name appears at the bottom of an ad-
dress "to the Electors Of the ninth Con-
gressional District of the State of
Pennsylvania" which was stretched to
the length ofsix columns in the Wash
ington Gazette of last evening, were as
we'll known abroad as he is at home,
and at Washington, it would be Who'll
ly unnecessary to offer either argument
or proof to show that that address is
no more the production of the "hono-
rable G. Kremer," than it is the pro-
duction of the "honorable" man in the
moon. But as this is not the case, it
becomes our duty to state, as we'll in
vindication of the said honorable Mr..
Kremer, as to place the matter in its
proper light before our readers at dis
lance, that his name has only been 6or-
ro,oed by others, for the purpose of ef-
fecting, in greater security, the most
diabolical purposes. We know the
whole band of midnight plotters a
gainst the peace of the country, OF
whom this poor unlettered John Doe
is the witless instrument, and shall
probably ere long take occasion to ex.
pose their names, as well as their
schemes, to the execration of all honest
men; but for the present we shall mere
ly offer the authority of Mr.. Kremer
himselffor saying, that neither the let
ter to the Committee of the House oil
Representatives, which bears his sig
nature, nor this Address to his Consti
tuents, expresses his sentiments. VIVA,
Mr.. Kremer's opinions ofMr. Clay and
of his conduct in relation to the Presi-
dency really are, may be seen from the
following statement Of conversation
with that gentleman, by two members
of the House of Representatives. One
of these members, Mr.. Brent, of Loui
siana, although he preferred Mr.. Clay
to either of the other candidates for the
Presidency, is known, even before the
commencement of the session, and du-
ring the whole of it, to have repeatedly
declared his preference for Mr.. Adams
in the second instance. Col. Little, an
old and highly respectable member OF
the House, from Maryland, voted for
General Jackson. Our reasons for
mentioning these facts will be readily
seen.
We are authorised to state that Mr.
Brent, Immediately after preparing,
yesterday, his statement of the CONVEX.
station with Mr.. Kremer, sent a copy
of it to that gentleman. We state
further, on proper authority, that Mr.
Dudley Digges, gentleman well
known in this city, was present, and
heard the conversation here stated to
have taken place.
81 Estate, without hesitation, that on
the day on which the debate took place
in the House of Representatives on the
proposition to refer Mr.. Clay's COM
munication respecting "Mr. Kremer's
Card" to a committee, I heard Mr..
Kremer declare, at the fireplace, in the
lobby of the House of Representatives,
in manner and language which be-
lieved sincere, that he never intended
to charge Mr.. Clay with corruption or
dishonor, in his intended vote for Mr..
Adams as President, or that he had
transferred; or could transfer, the votes
or interest of his friends: that he MIR.
Kremer) was amongst the last men in
the nation to make such a charge a
gainst Mr.. Clay; and that his MIR.
Kremer's letter never was intended to
convey the ideas given to it. The sub
stance of the above conversation I i'm
moderately communicated to MIR. Buch-
anan and Mr.. Hemphill, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Mr.. Dwight, of Massachu-
sets, of the House Of Representatives.
Feb. IS, 1926. WIN. BRENT, of Lou.
81 was present, and heard the OBJ
servations as above stated, in CONVEX
sation between Mr.. Brent and Mr.. Kre-
mer.
