sMr H'e6ster, Settle Boston Patriot calls upon
MIR. Webster TO confirm deny his agency in show
ing about Mr. Daey letter, for the purpose of nIlu-
eucug the vote of federal members of Congress. This
call will doubtless be answered.
No additional light is yet thrown upon this exttaot-
binary story AT prescott il stands thus: MIR. Bailey
was affirmed to have written letter corrected in Mr..
Adams hand writing, and containing promises from
the latter TO ederaiss for The purpose of influencing
their votes twas asserted that tis letter was ex-
hi6ited by Mr. Webster 10 Mr.. McLane and Others
aud this statement is given TO the public upon the al
lodged authority of FIVE members Of Congress who de-
rived ii from Mr.. McLane himself.
In relation 10 himself, Mr.. Bailey has denied the
whole story, and emphatically that all persons
believed him. MIR. adams too, through the New York
American, pronounces so far he is concerned fC-
tton So the matter rests for the present. and il re-
mains TO be seea what proofs will be brought TO sus
tam 1t, or whether like the author of the East Room
letter, the inventor of this tale will acknowledge it
lie from beginning TO end and congratulate himself
and the public on the good effected by telling it.
MIR. Adams and MIR. Bailey being the alledged au-
hors OF this letter, and both having solemny denied
it, il must be aedged without further proof shame
full and malicious fabrication. We still believe there
was foundation for the story-that Mr. Webster
d'd show some letter or otherand that transaction
innocent in itself, has been exaggerated by the mai
nifty OF party spirit, into crime 1t now pretended
by way of giving it additional effect that Mr. Webster
himself was brought by Mr. Adams promises To
the federaliss. This is mistake, or rather a wilfu,
Misrepresentation Mr.. Webster perhaps did not
speculatively prefer Mr. Adams but he pronounced
months before the election, tat there were no objec
lions TO Mr. Adams strong enough TO induce New
Enelander to vote against him." This is the great
epoch of lying and misrepresentation of all Sorts and
by curious pervertiou that modesty which does and
ought TO restrain men Of feeling situated as
Alessrs Clay and " ebser the period Of ths
Presidential election from procainng their purpose
from The house tops, is construed invitation To-
corruption.
