Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-07-29

whatever emanated from the lips Of Colonel
Church, was entitled to the most unqualified con-
fdence, we did no, hesitate to lay the intelligence
Of the illness of the Secretary Of State before the
people. But without more ado, we give an ex-
tract Of the letter TO tho public.
LEXINGTON, (Ky) July, 1, 1896.
81 have received the numbers Of the Literary
Cadet, which you have obligingly furnished me,
and for your kind attention be pleased to accept
my sincere thanks. Perhaps it woud not well be-
come me to speak ofthe Cadet, were not familiar
ly acquainted with one of those who are interest
ell in its success-but as man may in private
whisper in the ear of his friend, what delicacy
would forbid in public, you will allow me to ro-
mark, that it is highly creditahle to all who are
come cted with it. If however, were to advise,
should suggest some small alterations in its man.
ne r, but as presume il will be conducted indepen-
IDENTIFY, and fearessly. shall not offer my advice.
at greves me to state, that Mr.. CLAY. who is
now on his journey from Washington to Kentucky,
is severely indisposed and fears entertained that
he will never be any better.
"lntense labor, added to the concomitant conse-
quences OF violent and malnvoent persecution have
prcyed upon his constitution, which never wa. very
strong and if relaxation from business, and the
genial atmosphere of his native climate, do not
restore his wonted health. fear shall lose
him. Our friend Doctor***#**--who was in Wash
ington the last Spring, states TO me that he con-
sders Mr.. CLAy's complaints pulmonary, though
he hopcs they have not been confirmed, and that
they will be ultimately eradcated. Perhaps my
anxiety leads me to unreasonable conclusions, but
! fear that my forebodings will be realized il is
expected that Mr.. CLAY will reach here by the
fourth instant, and arrangements making to
ceive him with every demonstration Of affection
and veneration.
Beauchamp will certainly DO executed on the
7th instant he has, as YOU may have heard, con-
fessed the crime with which he is charged. De-
sha is yet in prison-publc opinion begins to react,
and some think that he is not guilty. DR.. Holly
has resumed his situation in Pennsylvania Univer-
y,anj the opposition which was evinced towards
him, has sensibly decreased. Give my best respects
to *** and ****, to whom was introduced, and in
whose society," spent several hours, when passing
through Providence, whilst Cadet. and make my
best regards TO Miss **** and Miss %***. By the
way, am partial to your paper--for its name al
ways puts me in mini of the pleasures ] enjoyed
whilst at West Point"
"The Old Court party will ultimately triumph"
tgives us pain to be compelled to speak in this
way of the cslamities which have befalen states
man, who has so long been in the confidence Of
the public, and who, as private citizen,
and as bold and Independent advocate for the
rights of the American people, has always been ad-
mred. But we have been compelled to it, and we
now submit TO the pubic, whether information de-
rived from the President of the United States, and
from letter written b person who was at all
times advised Of the health of Mr.. CLAY is entitled
to much credit as the uord of the editor OF the
Providence Journal.
We repeat what We said on former occasion,
that we devoutly hope that the intelligence con.
veycd in the letter from Kentucky, was exagger-
ated by unnecessary apprehensons for the safety Of
Mr.. CLAY, and that We pray that his health, whilst
he shall sojourn in the west, will not only be invigo-
rated, but perfectly restored.
We have said more than we originally intended,
and close with the simple remark, that what we
utter we always believe to be truc-that the vera
city Of the CADET will not shrink, if compared
with that Of the Journal-and that no man shall
assail our integrity with mpunity.
