aud to transfer his influence to Mr.. JoHS QUiNcY
ADAMS. The attack was made anonymously,
purporting only to be from member ofthe Penn
.ylvania delegation. The abuse was so infamous
and so far at variance frcm truth, that MIR. CLAY,
in moment Of excitement, publicly called upon
the writer to avow his name aud to produce his au-
thority for his vile assertions. To this appeal,
GEORGE KREMER responded, and avowing him
self the author OF the letter. declared his readiness
to make good the assertion. An appeal to the
House Of Representatives for investigation of the
conduct of IT. pre,idns officer, became necessary,on
The part Of Mr.. CLAY, and GEORGE KREMER
came vaulting forward, Boosting Of his entire abli-
" to prove the facts contained in the letter to the
Columbian Obscrvcr;-but when the hour oitrial
arrived he denied the power Of the house TO inves
tisste private affair in which two Of its members
were involved; and retired from the contest cover
ell with disgrace, and loaded with cxecrations But
he contended he had trumphed-that he had con-
vcted the Speaker Of corruption, if not Of high
treason, and rered he supposed, to meet his con-
situents covered with laurels and uniading honors
lie was made to believe by his aattcrers, and the
whiskey drinkers, who drank freely from the tap
OF his bar room, that he was not only great, but
a popular man, aud that he would make an excel

ing, and swallowing whatever they uttered to his
vanity, he Was at last announced candidate for
the honors OF the gubernat torial chair "but what
falling off was there" The result ofthe caucus
showed. that the good citizens of Pennsylvania
held their rights and Liberties too sacred TO entrust
them to the guidance Of country Lanilord-a
Borachio Bibler, and the Honorable keeper. OF the
Cross Keys, failed at the Caucus at Harrisburg to
obtain nomination--was completely distanccd-
not having obtained more than three votes Of those
who composed the nominating body.
The last session of Congress Mr.. KREMER was
deposcd--,sken from his high standing at the head
of the Opposition-and placed few feet in the rear
of its humble followers; and Mr.. GEORGE M'DUF-
FiE, of tie House, and Mr.. JOHN &. CALHoUN, of
the Senate, covered with biushing honors assumed
the responsible and honorable duties which he had
at the commencement of the faction, maintained.
The honorable GEORGE KREMER Is man OF a
strong and vigorous mind-but the gangrene and
corrodng qualities Of his heart, destroy all the
brighter and nobler emanations of his head; and
he who might have been, but for his native nfrni-
ties, respectable yeoman, hardy ter Of the soil,
stands before the world in all the depravity Of his
nature, and in all the hideous delormity ofa con-
sprator against the permanency the Republic.

be older. His figure is squallid, and bears the

that he is man, whom it were impolitic 10 trust,
and whom it were easy to mislead. lie looks with
an cnvious eye on all who maintain superior sta
tion in the confidence OF the public and instead of
endeavoring to climb the ladder of laudabe ambi-
tion, he is Away. striving to pull hi, superiors
dorm to his own level.
Educated in region remote from the refnements
of lfe he spurn. all the graces from his presence,
and esteems the Accomplishments Of bravado and
bully, superior to the elegancies and ornaments Of
civilized society
Taken all and in all," he is just such man as
the public should not trust and as the admnistra-
ton should not fear-for unless when acting in the
capacity of "a tool, he is perfectly harmless. His
course has Disguised and shocked many OF his con-
stituents; and whether he gain election not,
after his present term Of service shall have expired,
is problem which is left TO the intelligence, and
patriotism Of the good citizens of his district TO
solve.
