the daily detection of the misrepresentation oi
those persons could produce shame and repen
lance, they ought long since to have SUNK into the
conceament of silence. But long continued
course in this species of crime has made them So
cailous to shame. that nothing can check and re-
form them, until public opinion shall pronounce
upon them the sentence which it has already de-
creed. We call the attention of our readers to
the new and correct view in which the Editor OF
the Focus places the transaction referred to -

RIGS. In an invoice Of his. on the 9Th August,
we have the following item:
In the fall of 1924, Mr.. Clay wrote letter
to General jackson, inviting him to pass through
Lexington, on his way to Washington, and pro-
posing that they should travel together. Mr.. Clay
did wait several days expecting General Jackson's
arrival in Lexington. and expressed himself to
some of the Generals friends to be much di,ap-
pointed that the General had not arrived before
he MR. e. left there"
Now, the truth is. that the lptt,r in question: in
stead of gong from Lexington to the Hermitage,
went directly the contrary uay and when Mr.
Clay got the information IL contained. he FASTENED
cf as quick as possible, leaving Lexington only
the day before the General arrived But the en-.
erprise OF the General not to be thus batiled.
When he got to Washington. he hunted ont Mr..
Clay. and made him very cordial aud affections
ate visit. This is not the only case in l824-s,
in which the partisans of the General have charg-
e.. MIR. Clay and his friends with things re,y much
like uhat they had done Themselves.
n. B. MIR. Buchanan got just such an answer
from the General a. he eSpected-got leave to
make use Of it-went to MIR Clay and held OUT
the idea. SC. &c. &c A wink is as good as
nod to man, Who uont take Il hiM.-There had
been no communication between Clay and Jack
SON. from the time Of the Seminole business, till /.
was renewed as above described.
From the following letter, which WINS written 10
Governor Clinton in reply to the offer made to him,
bv the President. of the Embassy to England il
will be apparent to all, that Governor Clinton
not oppose the administration of Mr. Adams, with.
out rendering himself liable to the charge Of incon-
slstency.
