REJoINDER.-The Editor of the Boston Cou
rer' Will be pleased to accept our ompliments
when we assure him that the article published i,
our last was not " written without book - and fo
the verify OF this assurance, we present him an ex
tract from the files of his paper, which, although
his memory be somewhat treacherous, we farcy h,
will now recollect'
10 the Courier of Wednesday, September 80. vol
3'no. 792, was published the whole of Mr.. CLAY's
Speech, delivered at the white Sulphur Springs
1t occupied more than two columns of close BREWER
TYPE and added much to the beauty and excellence
OF that particular number the Courier In the
inside form, the Editor INDUCED in critoue
upon it, of something like half column; and
among other things, which he then sand, we find the
following which we accept as complimentary to
the speech of the Secretary, now alluded to:
| Mr.. CLAY.-His Speech at the White SULPHUR
! springs. Virginia, will be found in another part of
this paper, and though il contains SOME VERY
| SOUND POLITICAL MAxIMs (Which any body ese
as well as Mr.. CLAY, might have uttered) il will
not answer his purpose. fIe NAV partake of n pub

Mr. CLAY states, very frankly, the reasons why
ne couid not vote for the distinguished citizen of
tennessee, and they are PERFECTLY satisfactory
Such were the opinions and sentiments Of Mr.
BUCKINGHAM, when he first read the Secretarv,s
speech; and if they be not complimentary TO The
Secretary ofStae, confess that we are not aw,r.
oil the proper meaning Of terms. We will. how
ever DO Mr.. BUCKINGHAM the justice to saw. tba,
IN the course Of the remark. now under considera.
ton, he did most Justify abuse Mr. CLAY, and applv
70 him as a MAN, AS A CITIZEN, a goodly ouant;tv
OF those coarse and vulgar epithets with which he
appears to be very familiar.
In admitting this, and tho admission i, made 70 |
crafty the Editor of the Courier, we contend that
we have made good what we started for !. o. 70 |

ouce any proofs--for this very simple reason : we

Nourier before us. That he has advocated the
cause oi MIR. CRAWFORD, we do not think he will

ever treated Mr.. ADAMS, with dish of adulation.
Or advocated his interests admit is not the fact
and whatever we might have sad i, relation TO this
part sfthe chprge, we take back.
We are far from wishing to influence the editor
d the Cour'er In his opinions, and if we were dis
posed to do so, we are certain no effort of ours
'ouid effect such an event. Although not honored

We are too well acquainted with his inflexibilitv-
