6OO0OO dollars, (which however is net pruI,able-bui
let it amount even a million, and for one believe
she would be the gamer. 1t could not be expected
that we ourselves along this section Of country should
In mass at once be changed to manufacturing people
nor will say again)woud it be desirable should;
but manufacturing people would be among us to
sumo produce, to buy mill seats, people
country, and to enrich state. Let that be done,
and though we could not expect to call back at
the many who have left u.s. still we might hope
tain many who Get things remain they are) must
and will have scope. II is not my object at this time to
calculate what per cent. interest the business of this
Canal would pay upon its stock and if 1T
business, las certainly II ought 10 bel although OF vast
importance, suil should think minor consideration
in competition with many that Nigh he urged in favor
of the object. The consequences of ts canal would
run in many channels, all terminating in the increase
OF the funds and eXataton othe character Ofthe state.
But i'll conclusion; think OF The Iron estab
ments, that already, and would be, erected. Think
of the nnumerabIe sites for all kinds OF manufacturing
establishments, all which mus; import and export. Oar
mountains, are richer mach, than the plans of the
Mohawk the Tennessee. Furthermore, think of
hemarbIe the lime the brick the frequent quarres OF
granite and many other articles of exploration, too
merous to mention: beside all the mporations, hum
dred times increased to what they are, aud | for
willing bear all the stigma that may be cast
upon the conclusion, that with all this-with all the
sale of water power thereby made with all other good
rendered by the building this Canal, is of as much
consequence to the State ofConnecticut considering
her situation, aud will raise her much in proportion
what she is, as did the building of the Erie
Canal the State ofNew-York. SYPHAX.
''Tle bargain of 1925, between Messrs. Adams
and Clay, Remembers well, was freely spoken OF by
many members of Congress, although had no per-
sonal knowledge of any fact which would warrant the
belief that such bargain existed: besides, the hgh
estimation in which then held Mr. Clay, forbade my
suspicious any accusations not supported by posi-
tive proof that proof was not afforded me, and held
INN gutless yet there were some circumstances OF
untavourabe appearance, and which, the friend OF
Mr.. Clay, was sorry had existence. The circum-
stances to which ailude were the continued silence
and long of Mr. Gays friends, in FURNISHING
letting tbe known how they would vote: and the fact
that the Kentucky delegation who voted for MIRA had
meeting to determine their course, as | was inform
ed by ofthem at which, it said to me, that
upon the question beng proposed to Mr. Clay, for
whom shall vote, he answered in substance " that
in case Gen. Jackson should be elected he believed
the administration, with its weight, would be opposed
10 him, to PROSTATE him should mir A. be elected he
felt satisfied it would not be but that he hoped
personal consideration for him would induce them to
act contrary to their DESIRE"
The above is an extract ola letter from gentleman,
late member of Congress, to Hon. J. H. Eaton, and
inserted in his late "Appea to the Public Yin defence
of Gen Jackson, and in support of the accusation a
galnst Mr.. Clay. This appeal we do not publish, be-
cause we did not publish Mr.. Cay's Kentucky speech,
which Mr.. Eaton intended principally answer by his
address This extract gives the strongest evidence of
a bargain between MIR. Adams and Mr. Clay which
MIR. Eaton addnccs; five except the folio wing which
is unquestionaby introduced proof positive of the
fact -
sThe Senate having adjourned, Gen. Jackson AID
myself passing from The Capitol being yet WITH
in the enclosure. and near Hight OF steps leading 10
route from the House of Representatives, passed very
near, and without speaking. He was proceeding down
The flight OF Steps in front Off the buldng,anL we were
in the of descending, when some person coming up
accosed At that moment, Mr. Clay, turning around,
observed, chow are you to-day, General 2" with
somewhat embarrassed as though he had just
then discovered him. The sa.utation was returned,
and Mr.. Clay passed on. Immediately afterwards,
Gen. J. remarked to me that Mr.. G. seemed inclined
to pass him without speaking my answer was, " as
he has concluded to vote against you, General sup
pose he is soCltous for no further nterCOurse; we
dropped the subject. had never before perez we'd
Mr. Clay thus distant with Gen. Jackson, having been
quite the reverse; and well knowing, from near prox-
unity at passing, that II was altogether Improbable that
he should have observed looked to this coy
ness on his part, as circumstance coroboratIve OF
what had been the reports of the day determlna-
ton to vote for Mr.. Adams"
Now suppose there was not possibility that Mr..
Cay--who, at every moment near the capital, must
pass and repass hundreds ofas respectable Gentlemen
AS Gen. Jackson and Mr. Eaon-mght not have seen
the honorable senators, that his mind might have
been absorbed by other subjects than that of voting
for or against the General. The latter at that time
appears to have been thinking ntenty othe presiden
cy, and supposing Mr. Clay must be also, he judges
him accordingly. There is sometaing ridiculously
weak i'm this last argument and shows that for want
of better evidence the opposition are forced to magnify
mole hills into mountains.
But to return to the first extract we have given;
which proves that Mr. Clay is like the rest of his fell
Iow-men. His friends in Congress asked his opinion
who their votes should be wen for he virtually an
swers " In consequence ofthe stand took against
Gen. Jackson at the time his public acts in Florida
were nvestgated-his violation of excellent con-
sttution in making upon a nation with whom we
were at peace,-his contempt of both civil and militia
nv law in numbering Arbuthnot and Ambrisier,-I am
convinced he is my most bitter enemy. l know he
threatened to cut off the ears Of an honorable sena
tor for venurng to do as then dd-suppor the con-
stituton against his unprecedented aggressons upon
it, and should he be elected, his vindictive spirit will
attempt to crush me- should my constituents be pleased
to continue me in public life But | know Mr.. Adams
character too well to believe he would seek the de-
struction even of an enemy. These are few OF the
reasons why ], individual, prefer Mr.. Adams to
Gen. Jackson; not to mention the fact that honestly
