81 have seen so little of late from your state
upon the subject of politics, that do not know
whether the violence of the opposition 10 the pres
emf administration, has extended itself among you
or not.
"Our friend Mr.. Clay, appears to be the chief
object of persecution with the opposition. They
are with great industry, conducting systematic
al attack upon him, which commenced with the
kremer srory, which was an entire fabrication.
sat the time the plot opened was member
of the House Of Representatives, and heard kre-
mer declare he never designed TO charge MIR.
Clay with any thing dishonorable in bis life.
The old man, naturally honest, was imposed
on at the time, by powerful influence, and con-
str aimed to act his part IN the affair, which from be-
ginning to end was as much fiction. as the mer-
~ wives Of Windsor, or the School for Scandal.
:. The attack on Mr.. Clay, during the late ses-
sion Of congress- BY Gen. Saunders, as tar as |
could judge from the debate as published. proved
an entire abortion, and hardly know which sur
p'sed me most, the folly Of the attack, or the IN
consistency OF the General.
!" Ton have seen. no doubt, that MIR. F. John
son stated in his reply to Gen. Saunders, that at
the time Of the presidential election, in the House
II Representatives, that he, Gen. ,. was decidedly
N favor Of Mr.. Adams, in preference to Gen. Jack
son
/" IN confirmation of what Mr.. johnson has sta
ted, we'll remember, that not ten minutes before
The election, Gen. Saunders came to me, with an

,entatiyes for Mr.. Crawford, whose prospect Of
success hopeless, although the electors of that
state gave their votes in favor of Gen. Jackson.
Knowing the deep interest you have always
aiken in MIR. Clay's welfare, have been induced
o give you, for ,our personal satisfaction, those
PARTICULARS.
mir. Clay have known intimately for sixteen
cars; his public career is completely identifies,
With every important event Of the country, from
nat perou 70 the present time, whether III peace
If in war.
"During the late war, have seen the House o.
representatives, after having gone out Of commit
&c Of the Whole. return to it again, for the sole
nrpose Of aftording Mr.. Clay an opportunity 1.-THE
'pcaker) ofputting down the desperate, and infu-
lated advocates of British tyranny, insult and in
ury.
:. But his enemies say Mr.. Adams bargaine,
With him: This is assertion without proof, am,
g destitute Of truth, as it is Of manly frankness.
His superior qualifications placed him in the
department. of State. and history furnishes no in
lance, when superior man ever had 10 bargain
Or high station. for which, his peculiar ffness
vas evident to every one.
