Mr.. Claws speech will be found in full, in our
columns this daN-and to any unparalleled mind,
il will be frau.ht with conviction, Of the unbound.
ed aud caumnous character Of the charges which
have been runs throughout the Union both pub
llcly anu privately, IN conversation and in print,
and indeed upon every occasion which has been
offered to his political and personal enemies
against the honor and consistency Of one amonss.
the most distinguished individuals in our country.
" are not apt 10 rely upon eYparte declarations
and statements there is tone OF conscious
integrity and o. manly defiance-c connected with
reference 70 indisputable facts and irresistible
deductions, u this appeal Of Mr.. Ctay to Those
very constituents whose confidence he has bcen
accused OF betraying, that appeals directly and
iorclbly to the feelings and carries conviction to
the Judgment. We rrgret however enc result
which has followed its perusal. An honest and
conscientious determination of mind, founded
upon considerations in no wise affecting the char
acter OF Gen. Jackson, had hitherto led US to up
pose his preiensons and support the claims OF Nj.
.fdams to the Presidency--but we cannot now
withhold the expressions Of our diminished conf.
dencc in his freedom from electioneeiimg intrigue.
The friends Of Gen. jackson appear determined NJ

we'll as by many others which have recently come ihroub
the same channel. the Telegraph has not done mucn "
