mat he has not yet ssspated the mist We are free
TO acknowledge that he is not compelled 10 nrote

respect we heartily concurred in the sentiment fof

AT ms stage oil the coDrove Tsy, il is impossible
TO decide upon its merits. The public will look with
much anxiety TO the staten. ent which Messrs Blu

son and the member IF Congress wbo bore the mes
sage to him, ere bitter enough We spprehend that
such course Will involve the parties in personal
abuse and qusrEeis, that may engender feelings Of
hostility among their friends. While we repr,t
that Mr.. Clay. in denying his gull. should hsva
permitted his feelings carry hun so far az 10 rIJI
cuie Cen j and 10 offer studied insults 10 him and
others, we can, nevertheless, readily conceive the
excitement under which he did so. But, in mat
ter ot such grave import, intelligent people will
not be bssei In their judgments by the holiness Of
denpncia,ion, nor the desperation with which an
accused party may defend himself.
The publication of MIR. C's intention to vote for
Mr.. Adams, and the date oil it, being known to the
public, relied upon TO show that G-n Jackson
is mistaken IN saying that the overiures were made
early IN JinuaIy. On this point we have looked
