have positive testimony that ne VIII be super
coded before the termination OF the next ses-
sion of Congress.
tits said, in a southern paper, that the friends
oG Mr.. Clay, who were in Congress when the
President was elected will establish the fact that
10 such proposal as the one spoken f by Gen.
Jackson was authorized by them. They are 100
late. The fact is already established. The
trial is over. The accused is acquitted. BU-
CHANAN has deposed with the fear OF the
Hero in his heart; and upon his lucid evidence
the conflicting testimony OF Carter Beverly,
Duff Green, George Kremer and Andrew Jack
son has been set aside as utterly unworthy OF
serious consideration. McDufhe, lnghan &
Co. will probably ask for another hearing, on
-he ground that The witness relied on was un-
worthy Of the confidence rePosed in him by the
Jury; but having introduced him themselves,
and the deeply-interested PROSECUTOR having
testified to his integrity, soundness OF mind,
aud "high responsibility, "-ihe prayer Will be
conremptuously rejected, If, indeed, the accu>
s.rs are not arraigned in turn Tor their baseness
in compasslns the destruction of a great and
valuable patriot.
Mr.. Richie, the Editor Of the Richmond En-
ouirer, said, in the year 1924, among other We
~ severe things, that CHE WOULD DEpREcArE
THE ELECTION OF GEN. JACKSON AS A CURSE
Upon The COUNTRY" When the paragraph
containing this sentiment was shown TO Inc
Here. he sprang from his seat in aparoxysm
of rage and exclaimed, "This Rischie is one Of
the d-st rascals tina, walks unhung.
This Richie is now the fast friend OF Jack
son. and the Hero, no doubt, thinks his new ad-
voca,e one of the cleverest fellows that is per-
rni,,ed to wear his ears.
Duff Green, the Official organ and hired la
brica,or Of Coordination" ISLANDERS, grossly
misre press nts the social intercourse between
Mr.. CLAW end General Jackson, and then draws
the conclusion, from his own false premises, that
corruption must have been the basis OF Mr.
C's politeness 10 the Hero. Remarkins upon
the vile conduct Of Duff, in reference to this par
ticular, the Editor of the Richmond Wing
says:-"So iiule conception Mas the beast OF the
department of true gentlemen, that he construes
these little civiliies, the offspring OF polite IN
tercourse, iuto so many testimonials OF corrup'
| ton and dishonesty! Because Mr.. Clay did
not suffer himself to be transported by the as
peri,y Of party feeling into forselfuness ofwhat
belonged 10 this character and to good breeding,
this egregious simpleton would infer that he
was seeking to corrupt Gen. Jackson"
The Editor of the Richmond Wing gives the
following extracts as mere samples Of the many
/ similar sentiments which are daily pouring IN
upon him. When Buchanan's precious con-
. fession shall have circulated through the Ole
/ Dominion, what will be the sentiments OF her
citizens then, if, without that important docu'
men,, so many of them could be brought to ac'
knowledge the innocence of Mr.. Clay.
Extract ofa Letter dcted LIScHBuRs, Aug 5th.
"Vrrilv Clay has inundated Jcck-s'n and
am free to acknowledge have sinned against
the Chatham OF America Clay's speech has
produced a wonderful rev olution in this quar-
ter in favor Of the Administration, and Jack
son S letter has brought him low in the estima-
ton of unpreiudced men Altho' in principle
opposed to Mr. Adams politics, 6ehsre ne will
get the vote Of Virginia"
"STAuSToN, July 2oth.
aThe Administration has gained ground in
This quarter, and think it gaining every day.
What has changed many against Jackson on
this side the mountain is to find how very warm
the Richmond Jun,o has become for him. In
this country he had many original friends who
ird with surprise that their zeal for HIM Is
greatly ou,s,ripped by men who Two or three
years ago made merit of abusing HIM. his
conduct is unprincipled, for Jackson must nave {
been abused without cause before, or praised
improperly now"
"FAuQUIER, -
"There has been much change in favor OF the
Administration in this county. really think
the Jackson fever is abating and that the pa
tent will recover altogether. The pointed and
emnhatic denial by AIR. CLAW of euilt in the
