situation 10 which Mr.. L. was entitled.
Mr.. Madison came into Office March 4, 1909,
and two DAYS afterwards nominated MIR. Adams
| as minister to Russia, but on motion of Mr.
Lloyd Mr.. Adams successor the mission was
considered unnecessary During the socceed-
ing summer, however, Mr.. Msdison felt the
mission to be so indispensable, that he appoint
ed Mr.. Adams minister 10 that Court upon his
own responsibility. And never was mission
more necessary. II it had been previously in
, s,ituted vast amour, of property would have
been saved 10 the couBiry.
Just before Mr.. Adams sailed on this mission
the republicans OF Boston with Benz Austin at
their head invited Mr. Adams to public din.
ner. Mr.. Austin would have been the last
individual to have given this mark of conf.
dence TO any person where political integrity
was equivocal.
AT this period Mr. Adams published his ad-
mirable review of the works Of Mr.. Ames, and
Iuuy utPctopcu TIC uau5cioco PiihIipies ihdok-
ed under that tiile--and with prophetic pen
he pointed to~all the iolent measures, which

that we may be deemed to have spun the sub

could not do justice to il in shorter compass.
In our next we shall endeavour to give con-

Of his consistency, and in one or two future
numbers to show by the admission of those who
now oppose him, BY federal authority and by bis
own writings, that the change was not in him
but in others, and that he has always pursued
the path of political reeiitude and consistency
We have shown ir the course Of eur remarks
Mr. Adams acting in concert with Jarvis, Lin
coin, Hill, Austin, Morton and others, the lead
ers and fathers Of the democratic party in Mas
sachusetts. That twenty years since they prof
rered to him the chair Of state. They have sup
ported him ever since. Those who opposed
him at the last election and now oppose him,
are NOT the old democracy OF Massac husetts and
Maine. But they are like General King, Mr..
Holmes and some junior leaders in Maine, for
merly federalists. or like the leaders Of Massa-
chnsetts, young men who have grown up since
that Gay, mos, ofwhom supported Mr.. Adams
formerly and would have continued So until

Of one of their number, that there were more

Though the statements which the following
letter goes TO refuie have not found their way
into the National Intelligencer, yet, feeling a
disposition to oblige the writers, as wen as 10
serve the cause Of truth, we comply with their
request TO give il place in our columns.
National IntelEgencer.
WHEELING, 2sTH July, 1897.
Messrs. GALES & SEAToN: Have the goodness
to. publish the following in the Intelligencer.
and obige US.
In orderto prevent misapprehe nsion. in re.
gard to the circumstances uncer which Mr..
oiay, While in Wheeling, obtained sight Of
General Jackson's letter TO Carter Beverly. and
copy Of the same, the undersigned make the
following statement:
That, Immediately after Mr.. Clay's arrival
here from Sleubenvile, on the morning OF the
Gath ult. he was informed that NJ" Zane wished
10 see him, and was in possession OF Gen jack
sens letter 10 MIR. Beverly, whereby The Gene.
raj avowed that he had made the declaration
ascribed 70 him il The Fayetteville letter. Mr..
Claw therefore visited Mr. Zane. who, in our
presence presented In him the Generals letter.
After having read il through, Mr.. Clay remark
ed that no propositions Of similar import 10
,hosr stated, had been made with his knowledge,
authority. or concurrence, and was glad that the
accusation had now assumed shape in which
it could be met. MIR. Zane said that he had
obtained the letter under pledge TO return it,
but would furnish Mr.. Clay with copy. Mr..
Clay replied that copy could not be taken IN
time for him, as the steam boat in which he
had engaged his passage, was, or soon would
be ready',o set off. He turned to MIR. Mcclure,
the Postmaster, and asked the favor OF him 10
forward him copy TO Lexington. Mr.. Nc
Clure expressed an opinion that copy could
be made out in time for Mr.. Clay: Tor the Steam
boat would probably not start for some time, as
her first gun had TO. yet fred. Mr. Mcclure
inquired whether Mr.. Beverly's letter to Mr..
Zane ought not 10 he copied. Mr.. Clay said
it might be well to do so, if time would permit.
Gen. Jackson's letter (the other we did not
see) was therefore handed to a gentleman pres
ent TO copy. No other person OF he company
read the Generals letter; nor did Mr.. Clay read
any par, Of it aloud, excepting tina, portion
thereof which related 10 The overture, and the
channel through which il had been communi.
Gated to Gen. Jackson.
Soon al,erthe letter had been delivered to be
copied, Mr.. Clay took leave Of Mr.. Zane, and
returned to Mr.. Simms's. On the copies be.
ing finished they were sent TO Mr.. Clay. MIR.
Clay did not to our knowledge, and we were
present during the whole interview, request
Mr. Zane 10 attest either copies; nor was any
thing said on the subject by him.
We believe the above statement OF facts to
be correct: but have no, the advantage Of a per-
sonad conference with Mr.. Zane, who is now alb
sen, on MS way New York by way OF the
Canal. A. CALDWELL,

MUTUAL INSTRUCTIONS

Associations tor the purpose OF mutual isstruc.

counts which we have from these represent them.
not only as 10 iiourishing condition, but, as high
" useful in their effects on the community. In
almost every town there are more or less persons
capable Of impartng such useful information on
literary and scientific Subjects as the great mass
OF the population have not the means OF acquir-
ing At III. meetings of these Associations, sci
entifc subjects are discussed, spirit of inquiry
and investigation is excited, and many, in a short
time, become qualified to take respectable share
in the debates who otherwise, probably, would
never have troubled their minds with such SUBJ
Jects. Connected with the other obie cts OF The
Associations are the establishment Of libraries,
and OF courses ct lectures. These last have been
found highly interesting and useful, and, by "A
proper concert among several nd vidusls, they
have been maintained without imposing an un
reasonable burthen upon any one. Let such sub.
jects be assigned to each as he is most capable OF
teaching, and when once qualified to give leo
ture upon it, the whole Association have the
benefit of his knowledge. An instance is given,
in an English paper, of mechanic who had
philosophical lecture assigned him: At the time,
he was totally ignorant of the subject, but, on in.
vesligation, he found it so interesting, that. by
only devotns his leisure hours to it, he was ena.
bled, when the time arrived, TO give lecture, so
clear and thorough in its calculations, as to sur
prize even those, whose education had made
them familiar with the subject.
Our principal object in this article was, to no
tlce the recent organization, in this county, of
considerable number of Associations OF the kind
we have spoken of We do not know in how
many towns they have been established, but We
understand that wherever they are, cool spirit
prevails, and that the most happy results are an
ticipated from them A meeting OF delegates
from the several Associations was held at Leices
ter on the 26th inst. at which general Constitu-
ton of the BOARD was alopted. and other meas
ures taken TO promote the objects Of the Institu.
ton. An Address was delivered before the Board,
which we have heard spok en- OF in very favoura.
Bile terms. But, as we understand an account Of
the proceedings is to be published, we forbear
further remark.
