| oft sdministr alton and now its advocate--now
couriins favor at the hands of the executive, and
now aguins with john Randolph, McDufhe, Cali

ofthc wheels ofa wise and virtuous administration,
the latter ha. stood alone, firm and erect, dnpeu-

have groaned beneath the iron rod Of ftyrsnny and

and that patriotic fire. which have ever been his IN.

hopes 70 the disponding South American, and told
millions OF our fettered race. who had in vain ini-
plored the monarchies Of Europe to recognize their
Independence, aud to offer helping hand to enable
them TO escape the curses Of hradom, in us ye shall

John Holmes the aIistocrat aud the oppo,er OF
freedom, shall .lumber with tile ashes Of his
tors, nss 'ected and forsntton Whist Mr.. Holmes
va. the unblu,hing advOcaJ, Of Slavery, and was
willing it should extend i,s sccursed influences over
the whoio of the vast regions Of the west, MIR.
Clay, restricted II 10 limits and if the true
policy Of the nation he'd not forbade such step he
would have voted for its entire abrogation.
But "this i. not the time or place" to speak OF
this subject and for the momsn, we dismiss it.
We are not new converts TO the administration,
nor have we admitted that " when Mr. Clay shall
cease TO admire II. attachment Will expire" The
inference i. forced one, and the construction Nrs
Holmes has put upon our language, is neither cred
table to his head, or to his pretended Ingenious
ness. lie construction in this instance. is com.
pleiely parallel with tho. put upon the language
employed by the British Presses in relation to the
coniuc, OF Gen. jackson, il the murder at Nesss.
Arbcthuo, snd ltn,brister; ald by the way, we
mus, remark to Mr.. Nolr,ss, that 1t is not little
extraordinary, tina, after he svowed It as ms decid-
ell ooiuion, that ,he General bad been guilty Of
nothing 10 that affair, bus OF doing night thing
in wrong way his ,aucy should be eterpally dis
turbcd By the spirits Of those murdered and mar"
yrsd victims. who ie un,imey a, the hands Of the

ltwa. evident TO us, Al the moment the words
quoted from hi. speech we're delivered, thai he was
osou, to "purchass golden opinions from all sorts
Of riea," aud particularly :ror those Of the West,
Mcs.r-. Jacksdu, Coffee, Carroll ami others, who
were the determined advocate, Of the atrocities Of
tho Seminole War.
In this however, the honorable gsrtleman was
mewtlst disappointed aud the result of pro-
oseding. Of the last winters faction, discover thai
the bsit Gid not suit and that Sr. Holmes did not
succeed in securing the patronage he anticipated.
We will, however, proceed as fast as possible to
answer the letter of Mr.. Holmes. that we may be
tc.dy to adduue the +" proof, aud arguments" 10
prove that Mr.. Holmes has been The unblushing
sdyocate Of Domestic Slavery and in getting
towards close Of this par; of our duty,w we shall
with all duo Difference, notice another most prom
inunt part OF hi. phihppio.
The honorable gentlemen, has been pleased to
.ay--aud we thank hin for what he has said, aud
may yet .ay--for il sll will be cordial to our
ninG,--tha, from what he has seen Of US, he is
convinced that we are not to be engaged in this
controversy alone; und now in reply, we assure him
that 10 II cOryinccu without PROOF or arguments
and thu, by suppo.ins it is necessary to engage =
host 10 carry ona warfare with him, he displays
sut little Of the modest man, and certainly much
Of the "brsggsrt and less Of the scholar" We
pledge ourselves TO Mr.. Holmes. that we are
"ALoSr,' and that although this declaration may
SAVIOR somewhat OF the Brsggart," we do not
think il necessary to employ any aid to proye
that hs has been the unblushing advocate Of Do~
nesuc Slavery.
Thir, to be cure, is snyns something; but it Is not
sayins more than what tho event, We trust, will
ustiiy-but we should iail it will no. be for the
want oftruth and justice TO assist US, in uumasking
the political corruptions Of man. whose whole
life has been a series Of vacillaiion and shutting.
Ia replying to yhs letter OF Mr.. Holmes, we have
taken up more room than we expected, and conse-
qucntly will not this week produce our proofs and
arsuments.' ..
