! The above is from Tie Richmond ENQUIRER s
proposes question not Difficult, to be answ er ed
becasse confirmed by many transactions of thai
period when the strange coalition between Mr.
Adams and Clay was agreed upon. We say
agreed upon, inasmuch as it is impossible to con
ceive how two men so lately wrapped in personal
enmi'y and opposition, and who had never haimo-
nized, should so suddenly be brough, into close
connection. as to become political associates, ad-
visers, and councillors together.
One OF the editors of this paper CHANGED to b.

into signed, sealed, and recorded but enough 10
induce the belief, that more, much more than Mr.
Clay has avowed in his dinner speech at Green
brier entered into the transactions of that period
In addition to the much that has been said and
written on the subject 1.-The election, we would
enquire if Mr.. Clay did not at that time seek
interviews with General Jackson; if he did mol
visit him. aye, none of your engraved card visits
but, IL he did not seek him, and in person find
him! it he did not on one occasion remark, thai
he believed the General would be elected by III,
