mas are harmless In the fulness Of his btterncs,
. { heart, and hatred cfMr. CLAY, he would, if h.
dared, prefer a charge Of the most criminal IN
ture but although ne is securely screened behind
an anonymous mantle. he dared not do so, ,ut pre-
lers obiiqueiy, and even then gives II very
ace qualification. Last winter" says the writer,
lit is suppOSed'- supposed, mark that" that hc
Nr. CL,y operated IN the city of New York,
through some persons who were engaged in Guins
out ships fwar for the belgerenis, III contraven-
ton OF the rights OF neutrality, and through Others
who were seeking iavors from the General Govern
.nent." II is supposed that he operated for what;
70 secure the influence and patronage of the State
IF New York Now who Is silly enough 10 believe
,he charges thus obiquely preferred against MIR.
CLAY? What man in his senses will for u moment
believe that the Secretary OF State wou enter u-
to n bargain with few individuals In New York,
and engage with them in overt acts IL contra venton
ot the rights OF neutrality, condition that they
would secure to him the influence of the State? II
there is man in the twenty four independen,
States forming this Republic silly enough to be-
ieve tins, he ought to be set down as one of non
sane menlorie-be placed IN strait jacket, and con
iued III mad house. The absurdity OF the charge
Is so grea-it so gross-that it loses all the effect
the writer intended, aud holds him up to the world,
in a. the ridiculous paraphensiia of an ideo'. The
rest Of the extract amounts to nothing but local po
itical speculation, and is not worth ones attention
After indulsing in some reflections relative TO
the movements of the Bucktai party, during the
late New York election, aud pestowing Il little no.

der much OF the odiun that grew out of the event,
the author "i the pamphlet sallies forth, to make
desperate attack on the Hon. WILLIAM B. RoCu-
ESTER. and to renew his former assault on Mr.. Se-
cretary CLAY.
"Senslble their deficiency ofstrcugth, they cast
about them the means OF enllstIng Mr.. Clay,
and III ny oi tho friends OF Adams, their service.
With this view their oracle, the Argus iucuicuteL

question aud national politics out Of view, and was
very astute and active In spreading Jeaouses hy
IusinuatiDg that Governor Clinton had higher oh

10 render the baIi more aurrg, they held up for
the office, William B. Rochester, a man OF very
small talents VINO had never written any thing wor-
tiny Of beng rltten. He was bound 10 Mr. Clay
by congenal habns-was more versed in Hoyle
than in Coke. HIS pandects were the laws vi the
;ui, and hs jus gen:Lm the code OF the billiard Ia
ble. He had just been noticed by tho national go
vernment M the uhdcr-strapper appointment OF
Secretary OF the Panama missiOn-au Office gene
rally allotted to political subalterns, for which he
indebted to his patrons, and when was solicit
cd as panacea, to relieve HIM from the evils Ui ny.
pochondria, and the vices OF inactivity. HIS nonIl.
na ION drew 10, tn the active energies oil hir. Clay
and with HIM the whole force Ol the adminisra-
ton for whatever may have been the wishes OF
the views of the president aud the other member,
OF his cabinet, no counteralhng exertions
manifested. Silence implies consent, aud ne neutrali-
ty in tins case WAS attended with ali the evils
beLum fagrGnS, or decided hostility. He he
prevent, and does not, a CRIME, is partIcl
pant. 1t was all along admitted by the cabinet al
Washington, that MIR. Clay was busy informed
ding 10 the politics Of the State; and MIR. Adams
instead of hurting the audacious intruder from OF

base proceeding. Men in office took the hut
The Collector oi New York came out openly a.
cha rman OF u Tammany meeting, and drew, almost
TO II man, the whole influence of the custom house

ioundcry, opposite to West Point, came forth in
battle array, with $50 laborers in his uam.-
Drawing his aliment from the government, he knew
the prescribed course, and sagaclously established
plea for further support. The editor OF the
American lent the aid OF his puny talents, and the
influence o his malignant character. Correspon.
ding with MIR. Adams, through little Joe Blunt, he
could not mistake his wisnes. Aud last thous
least, Nathan Sandiord appeared, chairman Of
public meeting, at Alba y, at which Marin Van
Buren also oficiaed re Porter OF Iesulutions.--
The unwilling chairman was associated with VI.
Clay as candidate tor the Vice Presidency, an.
lie hated Van Buren for suppanting him, and Van
Buren, Gcspised hun as cypher i'll all things bui
what relate TO sensual and selfish qualifications,
yet on this occasion they were in full communion.

the lips OF Gay, and the national administration.
Sensible Of their deficiency says the erter
=" they the Bucktailsl cast about them for the
means of enlisting Mr.. CLAY and Mr.. ADAMS in
this SERVICE" and thus leaves the credulous to in
fer that Messrs. ADAMS and CLAY managed TO
bring the election to its final issue-or in other
words, that by their united interference, they sue
reedel in lesseniug the majority of Mr.. CLINTON.
The assertion, for what We care, may pass ior
what IT is worth, aud If the Jealous friends Of the
Opposition car make any body believe it, they will

will have minds To- deal with, with which We are
