Immediately after appeared as they we'll knew, upon u
the authority Of Mr.. Clay himself. The comments y
made by them upon this letter OF Mr. Beverly, were IA
infinite. They all relied upon it conclusive proof le
of Mr. Clay's guilt. They took occasion from it, Is
10 renew with fresh yigor, the charges Of intrigue,
bargain and corruption against the pfesd and Il
lcrplary of state which had begum TO grow stale. ~
Not satisfied with Mr.. Clays imputed denial of the

deny If he dared. nder his hd,td that he was
lcosnl2ant of it and conserving to- the overture to
Gen. jackson and unless he did this, they pro-
nounced him convicted OF having b'rgained with
Mr.. Adams, to make him president on condition Of
being made secretary OF state. Mr. Ciay has made

There is another part of the history of this trans

Beverly found himself in the predicament Of man

d wrote to Gen Jackson, from whom he received in
u reply that letter which has already been published
