GENTLEMEN:-At different times be-
fore Mr.. Clay left this place for Wash
ington, last fall, | had conversations
with him on the subject of the choice of
a President by the House of Represen-
~tativss. In all of them, be expressed
himself as having, long before, decided
in favor OF Mr.. Adams, in ease the con-
test should lie between that gentleman
and General Jackson. My last inter-
view with him was, | think, the day be
tore his departure, when he was still
more explicit, as it was then certain that
the election would be transferred to that
tribunal, and highly probable that he
would not be among the number retur-
ned, In the course Of this conversation,
| took occasion to express my senti-
ments with respect to the delicate and
difficult circumstances under which he
would be placed-on which he remark
ed, that | could not more fully appre-
bend them than he did himself, but no
thing should deter him from the duty Of
giving his vote, and that no state Fittings
could arise, that you'd Justify him ~
preferring General Jackson 30 Nv. a
dams, or induce h!m TO support The for
ner. so decisive, indeed, were his de.
c~larations on this subject, that had he
voted otherwise, than he did, | should
have been compelled to regard him as
deserving that species of censure which
has been cast upon bin for consistently
adhering to an early and deliberate re-
solution.
When the suggestion of a sinister vote
on his part frat reached US, | felt dispe-
sed to offer, without delay, the testimo.
ny which no citizen is at liberty to with
hold, when he believed another to be
u~njustly accused of a criminal offence,
but, %presuming that the result of the. in
quiry instituted in the III. of Representa-.
tives would prevent a reIteratlon OF the
i%mputations cast upon him, thought it
unnecessary to obtrude my humble tes-
timony upon the public. Finding this,
however, not 10 be the case, and re.
garding the character of the nation, as
well as that of two distinguished indi-
viduals, to be involved in the ~unceasing
repetition of charges which have been
kept alive and disseminated merely by
repetition, l consider it my duty to OPP
pose to their further diffusion the state
ments which | have made, and, without
hesitation, shall leave it with the Impair
tial and intelligent people of the United
States to appreciate my motives, and
the value OF the evidence which | have
spontaneously offered to THAR consider
alton.
