Washington City Gazette. No mem,er ~ ~ ne ne
House, am persuaded, believed ,ha, Mr. Y y. Ne
wrote one paragraph OF that address or of n. .e'
which was presented to the committee. 10 II. ;mea
diction Of the House. Those who counselld l u'
and composed both papers, and their ,urnn.0
were Just as we'll known the author of anu r..
from a committee to the House. The 6,s, oh p"

place Of its publication. That place was n ny '
City. remote from the centre of Pennsylyan;, wy mM
which Mr.. Kremer's district is situated. and ;s
paper having but very limited. if any, circnl,.'
in it. The time is also remarkable. The fac, NV.
the President intended to nominate me to The S.n"
Tor the Office which now hold in The COURSE or Y
few days. was then we'll known; and the public.,s
of the address was no doubt, made less with an
tention to communicate information to the erc,o,.
OF the ninth Congressional District Of Psnnsyly,n;,
than to affect the decision Of the Senate on the i,
tended nomination OF the character and con,,m.
of that address Of Mrssrs. George Kremer c.
made up, as it is, OF assertion without proof Of n
ferences without premises. and OF careless, ioco,
and quizzing conversations Of some OF nv irienl
to which was no party, and of which had new,
heard, It is not my intention to say much Ic.r.
ried its own rcfutation, and the parties CONCERNED
saw its abnrive nature the next day in the indie.
nant cnuneDance of every unprecedented and honu,
able member. In his card, Mr.. Kremer, had be-,
made to say, that he held himself ready to pror,
to the satisfaction Of unprejudiced minds, enovph
10 satisfy them OF the accuracy Of the statement,
which contained in that letter, to the ertent tOi
they concern the course Of conduct Of III. Claun
The object for excluding my friends from Ibis
pledge has been noticed But now the election va,
decided and there no longer existed a motive for
discriminating between them ahd me. Hence Tho
..lr ,IAtc L..
ing the semblance Of proof, relate rather to them
than to me; and the design was, by establishing
something like facts upon them, to make those facts
re act upon me.
OF the lew topics OF the address upon which
shall remark, the FIRST is, the accusation, brought
forward against me, of violating instructions Il
the accusation were true who was the party offend
led, and to whom was ! amenable If | VIOLATED
any instructions, they must have been yours, since
you only had the right TO give them, and to you
alone was responsible Without allowing hardly
time Tor you to hear of my vote without waiting TO
know what your judgment was OF my conduct
George Eremer & Co, chose TO arrsiyn me beo.
1.-THE American public as The volator of instructions
which was bound to obey. II instead Of being
las you are. and hope always will be, ygilan Oh
servers Of the conduct Of your public agents. Jealous
|of your rights, and competent to protect aid de-
TEND them, you had been Ignorant and culpaby
|con6ding. the gratuous interposion, as your 3D.
vocate. Of the honorable George Kremer, Of the
ninth Cong es-ional district in Pennsylvania would
have merted your most grateful Acknowledgements
Even upon that suppostion his arrangement Of nc
cumsance. which happens not TO exist and that -
the fact of your having actually instructed me 10
vote according to his pleasure.
H. IN I 10 Mr.
CONSTITUTE the next theme of the address, which
shall notice. ! am described as having assumed
|" position Of peculiar and decided hostility to The
election of Mr. Adams" and expressions towacs
him are attributed to me. which ] never used
am made also responsible for pamphlets anoe
says Of great ability published by my irlends III
Kentucky. in the course OF the canvass. Inc "'
justice Of the principle Of holding me thus answer
able, may be tested by applying 1t to the case "
Gen. Jackson, in reference to publications issusu'
for example, from the Columbian Observer ~"
was not in favor of the election OF MT. hoa"',
when the contest was before the people, u n,v ,'
certain. Neither was | in favor OF that OIL WI, W,
Crawford or General Jackson. That ever uu
any thing against Mr. Adams, or eitper u NV
other gentlemen, inconsistent with lar ana nO".
orable competition, utterly deny. My relation"
Ito MIR. Adams have been the subject OF much ms.
conception, if not misrepresentation. have oe'"
stated to be under public pledge 10 expose '0l,.
neiarious conduct Of that gentleman, during NV
negotiation at Client; which would prove .i,a .'
be entirely unworthy OF public confidence anu .a
