Avain. if the opposition party really believe

~: ". ,bat so much of the time OF the last ses-

~ I do aver that the information is even
S.,ncht from York on the most respecta-

~, he was Jacksonite, and was let into the
.l,ns. and that it was fact that at proper
;ms Mr.. Adams was to be and would be writ

Governor Clinton with another leading charac-

onuosltion party, which, if so, he would be
d--di Mr.. Adams would not be put down,
for it would be impossible TO withstand their
influence; and in addition TO this with similar
dechrations from many others, respectable
member of Congress, Jacksonile, also made
,Eke statement as above, and that at the pro-
NJ time | would see the dispositions to Shew
jk Clay's corruption but that he believed that
between MIR. Adams and Mr.. Clay nothing had
taken place, but that whatever was done, was
done BY their friends
Mr.. Ingham and Mr.. M'Kean having been
nom mates the last session Of Congress, why
a,hey intrigue and get Mr.. M'Kean's prin-
w.(which am warranted In saying is fact, }
10 propose at the Harrisburg Convention last
winter resolutions to reprobate Mr. Adams and
suogse Jackson; where was the necessity al
sotarly period of exciting the feelings oft
State in favor Of Jackson. | leave every man
oladse the cause for so doing.
Being one of the people, and not qualified for,
nor an expectant Of an office, there is no reason
Why in heart would not agree to any choice
Aofice, made by the majority or constitution
ally, il fairly expressed, and not brought about
BY intriguing office seekers, and as this senti-
mentis in accordance with The professed friends
Of Jackson and all honest men, we are TO exam
int facts, and if unfairness and dishonest, dan
ssrous and dishonorable conduct can be
brought home to any Of the actors in the case,
award righteous Judgment; but as having
ame bearing on the question, ought not the
pNic to be informed, that from circumstances
SOLICITATIONS made by members in Congress,
CihOun's friends there admitted before the E.
tctiOn, that they had agreed never TO abandon
Iotng Tor Jackson, even though they saw he
could not get majority, and the reason .or
this understanding is plain, and goes TO show
they were left-handed friends of Jackson. Can
We reasonably suppose these, with many other
hsls relative to that important election, were
n0tvell known by Mr.. Clay, and had he room
ishtO hang doubt that the agreement alluded
10 did rot take place, and we know that Mr.,
Chydid publish to the world, that ii was well
ascsrtained before the election, that Jackson
Could not be elected. When all these circum-
stances are taken into consideration, and tina,
oneOf the Senator'S from this State undertook
10 warrant, that Mr.. Adams would enter into
no intrigue with any body, be the event as 1t
might and, when we consider that the unlver-
salcharacter Of Mr.. Clay was that OF states
man OF the FIRST class, both as to talents, candor
.nd honesty, aid instead of being charged as an
n'risuer, was considered as candid even 10 a
nait. say when we consider all this, and that
Twas universally known that Mr.. Clay enter
@ineo strong personal dislike 10 Jackson,
'Ons before ne was ever thought of or his name
mentioned as candidate for the Presidency,
aa that lngham and Calhoun's friends refus-
@@ go into an inquiry before Congress of the
nun Of the charges against MIR. Clay, but
moose rather to effect their purpose by insin-
