iaycdf Why's the Statement, al this iaie day
made 10 lag behind all the Interesting incidents
Of the ,no lat years which have followed the
Presidential elecfion1 Why is IL brought out
through the obscure channel ofthe "layetie
vile Observer 2" Why is il made TO issue
through the ssouih Of man Who more than all
others living, Is iHttreaed in creating aud circu-
iaing If
MIR. Clay aud his friends "were to make the
General President in one hour The propo-
sal therefore must have been made on the day
81 The election in the House. Now il was well
known IN Washington for several days prcce-
ding the event, That the friends Of Mr.. Clay
would vote for Mr.. Adams in preference TO Gen.
Jackson. Their intention was no secret. II
was the knowledge Off that induced the friends
OF Jackson 10 make the effort, through their
tool hfemer, e. deter Mr. Clay from his pur-
pose. Iihe proposition was not made on the
DAY Of the election II is manifest, from its terms,
mat II could not have been made at all, as o.
iherwlse more than an hour" would have been
required to consummate the bargain.
But thai no such proposition was ever made,
Is evident from another confederation. The
votes OF Mr. Clay and his friends could not
have made Gen. Jackson the President. MIR
adams had, without Mr.. Clay's influence the
votes ofn,ne States; Dir Crawford hadl four
making thirteen, majority of the whole num-
Der The united strength then of Mr.. Clay
and the General could have been no more than
fteuen States. But suppose Mr. Clay aud his
friends 10 have commanded the votes Of FIVE
states, as has been sometime asserted still there
would have been one wanting TO elect the Gen
efal. And was notorious here, that the States
which voted for Mr.. Crawford, would Ultimate
ly have voted for Mr.. Adams if the contest had
been prOtractcd before the House
Again, if such a proposition had been made,
Is At credible that General Jackson would have
congratulated Mr.. Adams in the marked manner
that the did on his election II was well known
also that no man in the United States thought
more favourable of Mr.. Adams than Geu Jack.
sou did and that he preferred his election to
that OF any other candidate, himself of course
excepted. And no dount this sentiment would
have remained IN full force, were il not conven-
lent to throw an lnputatlon upon1he purity Of
MI Adams for the sake OF eleyating Gen
Jackson.
Bu' there is still another light in which this
letter may be viewed. If General Jackson real
y did make this statement to the highly re-
Specialize tirginian,' who wrote the letter il
shows that Cincnnatits has not retired 10 his
ploug with all his ambitious aspirations subdned
but thai while he tells before all his company -
OF the victories he has won, and OF the many suC
termgs he has undergone for The good OF the
country, he can condesCcud 10 calumniate his
rivals, aud throw hnpdtaIi ons upon the most
distinguished of his fellow citizens for the sake
OF creating warmer sympathy in his favor.

[FRoM THE DEMOCRATIC PREss.1
Extract TO the Editor dated

WASHINGTON, 18th April, 1927.
DEAR SIN: A friend the other day put into
my hands the Washington Telegraph, a paper
which seldom see unless thus casually shown
to me, in which there was the following extract
of a letter from the +" Fayetteville Observer"
and said to be written by " a highly respecta.
BILE Virgiaian," at present on a visit TO Ten.
nessec.
Tennessee, at Nashville, 9Th March, 1927.
" have just returned from Gen. Jackson's
found crowd of company with lin seven
kmginiauS were of the number. He gave me a
most friendly reception and urged me TO stay
some days longer with him. lie told me this
morning, before all his company, in reply to a
question | put to him concerning the election of
]. q. Adams to the Presidency, that Mr.. Claws
friends made proposition TO his friends that ii
they wouldpromise for him, moi TO put Mr.. Adams
into the scat OF Secretary of State, Clay and.
his friends would, in one hour, make him. Jack
| son, the President He most Indignantly
rejected the proposition and declared he would
| not compromit himself; aud unless most opepl
and fairly made the President hy Congress, he
would never receive it. He declared tibet he
said TO them, he wonld see the whole earth sink
under him, before he would bargain or intrigue
/ for IL "
After eading this extraordinary declaration
of Gen. jackson before all has company,
called on Mr.. Clay, and inquired if he knew
any thing about it. lie replied without hesita-
ton and with bis accustomed fiankness, a. that
the statement that his friends had made such q
proposition as the letter describes, to the friend,
of Gen Jackson, was, as far as he knew or be
iieved, utterly destitute of foundation that he
was unwilling to believe that Gen Jackson haC
made any such statement; but that. no matter
with whom il had originated he was fully per
suaded it was gross fabrication, OF the same
/. calumnious character with the kremer story pui
forth for. the double purpose ofiujuring his pub
lie character and propping the cause ofGenera
Jackson and that for himseifan for his friend
he DEFIED the substantation of the charge be-
fore any fair tribunal whatever"
Although their statement carries on its face its
own refutatop, have thought it due TO the
occasion TO put you in possession of this fat and
positive Contradiction. The statement is, that
Clay and his friends" by which the idea is
conveyed that all, OF at least majority of his
friends in the House of Representatives, made
the proposal. If the statement be trte, 1t must
be susceptible ofproof: and ifprooi can be hd.
daeed, why has its exhibition bcea so long de.
