A portion of the citizens of Lewisburg and its
vicinity gave Mr.. Clay public dinner the 30th
ut., in consideration of their respect towards him.
Upwards Of seventy gentleman attended. Judging
from the tossts, we should not conceive that the
party was confined to MIR. Clay's friends exclu-
sively John Q. Adams, Mr. Crawford, Dewitt
Clinton, and General Jackson all being toasted.
En- PEASANT! We see mention of Mr.. Writ,
Mr.. Stevenson NJ. &. from Richmond, Mr.. Stan
ard, and Mr.. G. J.. Stevenson, who were in the
vicinity of Lewisburg white Sulphur Springs)

From the Aurora and franklin Gazett-.l
General JdcksOn.-Thc reelection of Mr..
Brent and Mr. Gurtey to congress from Louisiana,
has given rise TO the suppositon, that the of
those gentlemen for MIR. adams met the approba-
ton OF majority of the people OF that state. For
the honour of Louisiana, 10 whom General Jack
son rendered services never to be forgotten by
republic possessing spark of gratitude,
glad TO have it in power 10 deny, upon the
thorty of facts, the inference deduced from the
suit of the election there. Before Mr.. Guriey
was put in nomination, he pledged himself 10 vote
for General Jackson. Notwithstanding this pledge,
al the American parishes in the district gave majo
Ikes to Mr. Hamilton, the unequivocal friend of
the patriot, and the rival of Mr.. Guriey; and the
very French county of Harville in which this gen
teman received 200 majority, has elected Mr.. HI
TanS of the Jackson electors, TO the legisla-
tIe. Mr.. Gurley's whole ma lority in his district
beng only so, his success must have been entirely
owing personal Partially in the country of Hsr
vile which elected the friend of General Jackson
10 the state legislature. Mr.. Brent received
majority in his whole district of only rs. In the
county in which he himself resides when al home,
Mr., Brotcnson, his opponent, received majority
OF i2O votes. The of Mr.. Brent is
cIibed TO MIR. Flaujdc, who declined poll the
eveaing before the election. MIR. Livingston, the
fast friend of General Jackson, reelected by
majority of 9o3 votes; nearly FIVE times great
amajority as MIR. G,lrley and Mr.. Brent both
received in the state. AT the election 600 votes
were polled in Louisiana and taking the congress
sional results as the test of the comparative popu-
Iarlty OF General Jackson and Mr. adams, the
General received in Mr.. LiOing Ston'S district
1851 votes, Mr.. adams 6iS; in Mr.. Guriey's
the General had 1860, Mr.. adams 1910; in Mr..
Brenfs the General had coo votes, Mr.. adams
$50; giving the General, in the whole state, 1920
votes, and Mr.. adams 2674; that is, majority
OF 746- These facts, CLEANED from the newspa-
pers near the scene OF action, conclusive
TO the sense of Louisiana in favor of Gen. Jackson.
The ewly-elected member from Mississippi is
also friend of General Jackson.
The Milton North Carolins) Gazette doubts
s whether ticket will be started in that place for
Mr.. E@ams, and ntmates that MIR. Crawford
will not be brought from his present retirement
unanimous vote in North Carolina, which, it will
be recoIlected, gave him her electoral votes at
the last election.
In Ohio Mr.. Clay not being candidate, and a
great change having taken place in many of the
newspapers, in favor of General Jackson, indca-
Ting corresponding change in the people, he will
we have doubt, receive the support of that state
He had plurality of the votes of her people at
the last election.
writer in the Charleston Mercury relates the
following anecdote. We have heard it repeatedly
and presume that it cannot be denied. The hostili
~ ONT. Clay towards Mr.. Adams of the most
v'ndic We character, and extended to his hum
blest 70 overs. This Circumstance is well known
In Kentucky.
Let the Attorney General Of the United States
be appealed TO for the truth of the following anec-
dote: give il as j have heard it., and believe it:
So abusive had Mr.. Clay been, when speaking
OF the Secretary, in the argument of some be-
lore the Court at Washington, that Mr.. w.
induced to vindicate Mr.. Adams, his colleague in
the Cabinet, with some warmth-so much so, that
Mr.. Clay and himself longer interchsnged civil
lilies. The President elect, anxious to have the
members of his Cabinet on good terms with each
other, pressed Mr.. w. privately, but earnestly, to
reconciliation-Mr. w. Indicating some indspo-
siiion TO renewal Of acquaintance with Mr.. Clay,
was asked what could be the grounds of his hosili
NY! The reply was, " Not very serious: he only
abused youth Court, and Iuindicdted you; that
IS aH' Wash. Tel.
The same writer asks the following questions:
II was understood, so far back as 1923, that Mr..
U was prepared to lay before the public what he
then considered condemnaory evidence of Mr..
AS disregard of Western interests at Client
and he only deferred from publishing it by the
celicacy of his situation. A consideration, by
the bye, which never retarded any Of Mr.. AS
movements.
=" Did not Mr.. Clay, pending the canvass for the
Presidency, before the people, denounce Mr.. A
daus, for having proposed at Client, to sacrifice the
people of the West, to the people of the East3
Did not Mr.. Adams reply in great hostility to this
enumeration! and did not Mr.. Clay pledge himself
'othe people, to make good his charge
The canvass was over? (this pledge has never been
redeemed y Did not Mr.. Clay, every where (pri-
or TO the election by Congress) abuse Mr.. Adams
as unworthy? Let those who were in Congress
with him, say-Let the members Of the Bar OF the
supreme Court answer-For even there, unres-
strained by decency, he delivered invecives a.
galnst the then Secretary, now President Adams"
