ed hun, aud explicitly states 10 the public thai
the only conversation he ever had with Genera
Jackson nu the occasion alluded TO. was en,ire,
upon his own responsibility aud not agent fol
Mr. Clay. or any other person and lie wonders
how General Jackson could have supposed h'
came from Mr. Clay OF any OF his friends iot
says he was known thai ie had never been the
political friend of Mr.. Clay since he had become
a candidate for the presidency.
After this triumphant acquittal Of hr. Clay
and has friends, OF the foul charge which Gen
Jackson preferred agsinst them, aud this, too
on the testimony ofGenoral iackson's own wit
rcss, the friends ofihc administration might resi-
satishcd-Butwe have thelolowlng strong coniir
mdlofy evidence of Mr.. Clay's innocence ia the
annexed letter from Mr. Mclean 10 the editors
of tins paper, dated Washington, Feb. 3, 1928,
which belongs TO this subject, aud which, for that
reason, we puIish from the original stlll in our
possession. Mr.. Mclean was then one OF the
i senators IN Cogress from this state, aud had ev-
cry opportunity Of knowing what va, going fol-
ward. and, FROM his high character as man.
we have the fullest confidence in his statement,
that no one affected TO believe Nj Clay guilty, cx-
! cept Mr.. kremcr whatever Nh Mclean opin.

one of the Penn. delegation, published ia n
Philadelphia paper That letter was a direct
attack upon the integrity Of Nj Clay and his
friends, and charged directly that Nr. Adams
had their support upon contract, for appoint
mcni, to Office TINT the support had been oiier-
81 TO General Jackson at the same price, but
had been rejected Mr.. Clay, yesterday, from
his Speakers chair, solicited An enqu y and
committee IS raised To day for that purpose
