Some letters state that Mr.. Adams will
probably be elected on the lst ballot
Tie would certainly, but for the point of
honor, which will induce certain States
TO give the first vote to Mr.. Crawford.

quently assaulted with the question, "Who
is thu Mr.. Kremer?"-NVe are unable
to answer the qdestion.--As 4 member
OF Congress, Mr. kremer is literally am
Known TO the nation. In the dark in
trigues which have beeh engcndercd by
the Presidential election, he has borne
an ofiicious and conspicuous, if not an
honorable part. He was the tool of the
faction, who underworld to immediate Mir.
Lowrie to preserve Gea. Jackson's politi-
cal reputation. He succeeded in entail
ing disgrace on those who set him on,
and exhibiting Mr.. Lowrie to this ma
ton, as an honorable, spirited and perse-
Cuted individual. He set out to prove
that Mr.. Lowrie had lied, in asserting
the existence of a correspondence be-
tween the President of the u. States and
General Jackson. He concluded by
dragging that correspondence before the
world, and in fixing the ignominy of false
hood, not on those who asserted, but on
those who denied its existence. For him
self, he stood then, as he stands now, too
suspicious for the call of honor, too hum
BILE for example, and almost too contempt
ible for reproof. We would gladly pass
him by, had he not, with success which
his grade OF talent renders remarkable,
continued to incorporate himself with
the most prominent transaction of the
day. Let us pass to his card.

Intelligencer, which we have already pub
lished, Mr.. Krcmer published the follow

ANOTHER CARD.
GEoRoE knrMER, of the House of Represent
tatives, tenders his respects to the Honorable
Oh. Clay" ard informs him, that, by reference
to the Editor of the Columbian Observer, he
may ascertain the name of the writer of q; letter
of the 25th ut. which, it seems, has afforded so
much concern to ''H. Clay:'' in the mean time
George Kremer holds himself r. ady to prove,
to the satisfaction Of unprecedented minds,
enough to satisfy them of the accuracy OF the
statements which are contained in that letter. to
the extent that they concern the course and con-
duct of eli. Clay. Being 4 Representative of
the People, he will not fear to ''cry aloud and
spare not" when their rights and privileges are
at stake.
MIR. Kremer undertakes then, to sup
port the charges preferred against Mr..
Clay, in his letter to Mr.. Simpson Lei
1t not be forgotten, what those charges are
We already discover symptoms of back
ing out, on the part OF MIR. Kremer-
The Washington Gazette, winch sup
ports him i'll his present predicament with
the same vehemence with which it attack
ed him when he assaIled MIR. Lowrie, in
sists that MIR. Kremer has nothing more
to prove than that Mr.. Clay intends to
support the election of Mr.. Adams. Mr..
Clay has never denied this proposition
But the charges against him were, tina,
he had sold himself to the Secretary
of State-that the consideration was, thai
he was to sue coed Mr.. Adams, in that
department-that like the SWISS, he had
offered to fight for those who would bes,
pay him, and that he had offered to SUP.
port General Jackson, upon she same
tevms-These are the charges which Mr..
Kremer is called upon, and which he has
pledged himself on the floor of Congress,
to make good-and in which if he fails
he cannot but stand before the u Mon, as
the. propagation of falsehood, and unwor
thy to associate with the Representative e.
of the people. The task is as desperate
as it has been wantonly and gratuitously
assumed, and we could feel commissera
tion,for his condition, if we were not sa
tisfied that he belongs to that specie.

is willing to compound his honor and re

MR.. CI.AY.--This gentleman, with the consci
business Of innocence, and the gaantry OF honor
has thrown himself and his injuries before thu
House of Representatives. We lay the debate t.
which his appeal gave rise before our readers. We
neither doubt the propriety OF the decision which
referred it to select committee, or that Mr.. CLAY
will appear before this nation brighter and greater
for this lawess attack on his reputation.
William and Mary CoLege.-It will be
seen by reference to the legislative pro
ceedings, that the proposition to remove
this college, was lost by majority Of %
votes. On this result, we congratulate
the low country, and in fact. the state o.
