Dear Sir-You will see blazoned in the Ma

Mr.. Clay, at this place, on Saturday last
After much manGuvering and exertiou Mr.
Clay's relatives and some OF the aristocracy
of this place got up dinner of 40 persons. =
The Committee of Arrangements pledged them
selves that exceptonabe sentiment should be
drank, &c. and thereby induced many citizens,
and several strangers, who were the friends Of
| General Jackson's election to attend the dinner
How they redeemed this pledge you will perceive
Mr.. Clay's nephew, and lis Editor Thomas
Smith, in whose house Mr.. Clay lodges, denoun-
ces, In tie grosses terms, the friends TO such an
| amendment 10 the Constitution, would give the
people me chCice e. PTesi3eslt and Plce Pre-

cited induced the plant genius who controls the
Reporter, 10 suppress II but one dare deny it.
| What will Virginia think of this denunciation
| from head quarters! 1t savoTs of old times But
the most high handed measure was the exclusion
OF all ioasts not previously inspectedby the Com
mittee. Mr. Clay 10 be in bad health
and worse spirits. My word for it, Kentucky
will do her duty at The proper time. and manifest
to the world that she cannot be induced to change
! her principles at the bidding OF any man.

sident of our University? II you do not he is
Boston federalist othe rankesi stamp; who carries
his aFistocracy to heaven, insisting that man is to
be dealt with in heaven, according TO his intel
ectual refinement, &c--a man who has done
more to injure the morals OF the youth OF Kentuc-
Ky, than any other man in it. The University
having been toasted, this sycop'ant poured out 10
Mr.. Clay's face the grossest fateIy, and denounc-
ed the opposition to he present administration as
