The above named James Clark is the Repre.
sentotire IN Congress from mr.. CYay's district,
and The gentlemen whose names are in Italics, are
among the most respectable of the administration
party in lexington or Fayette county. The ORR
ginais OF the above statement and certificate are
left with the editor oil the Kentucky Gazette, free
for the inspection OF all parties"
n REPUBLICAN.
Mr. Robert Byewaters, Of this city states, that
he had intimate acquaintance with MI John Down.
ing, while resident at Lexington and since-that
he has often heard MI. John Downing,repeat the
substance Of The above statement, 10 years ago in
Lexington, and ! years 'go in this city. He also
states tlat the connection OF Clay with Burr was
mater oil public conversation in bar rooms both in
Lexington and here.
We have understood that Burr's draft which
Clay endorsed, was drawn upon the late Geo. An
derson, and that the House and lot of the said An
deTsoh were sold ioi the amount, $4,000 with costs.
[Ed. .ddp.
But, whatever becomes of Downing, and with
out meaning 10 lay any stress on his ahida-
Wit, we ask Mr.. Clay whether he considers the
above a a full and clear account Of the Who'll
matter Is this really a full :. and faithful ac-
CONT OF nay connerion with Col. Burr?' Viii he
say, il is the whole truth? Mr.. C.. passes over
some OF the specifications which have been made
about him-and we have d right 10 take his 81
lence on these points as a confession. WHY did he
49, 'Nhg S''t t0 q Ut ~ih oht = Dill u near
$4,000 and thus ASSISTED hin, 10 raise funds for the
exPediiion:-We do not charge upon Mr.. C..
tina, he was a tIaiior-but it is impossible for his
friends Il, cscape from the dilemma IN which tIiey
are placed. II hey CALI jackson one, then is Clay
upon stronger evil eice-lfthcy call }. the dupe OF
Burr, then was Clay still more Sole was SO
much the Dupe OF BIS ingenuity, that he was

instance OF Mr.. Jefferson's confidential agent, and
OF similar measures OF the Legislature Of Kentuc.
KY on 18th December, To Arrest Burr'S ornaments.
Het Burr had brown such a speil around his sen.
ses, that he wa surprised at the proofs OF his guilt,
while jackson wa on the aleTt.-And yet Mr.. G..
haS now the modesty, and NJ dextsrity to talk in
Ambiguous phrases OF he alleged connection be
tween Gen. Jackson and Colonel Burr?' We
should tbink that Mr.. G. ought rather 10 DISCOURAGE
his friends, than hearken them on, in any attemut
TO trump up d tr easonabie connection between
J. and b..
m. Pan Buren, ogain!-Mr. T.. Co!ston has
frankly declared himself 10 be the Informant OF the
y lntelligencer. He was present at the CONVEX
~a'ion with Mr.. Carneai; and not believing from all
the circumstances Of the case TIA; it was s. intend

there was unquestionably a mistake OF Mr.. v. b.

&c the only ntimen it contained was the express.
sion oil an opinion on your part, that three fourihs of
the votes oil NV York would be given 10 General
Jackson. You made no dkiuSion, directIy- or in
directly, TO the electoral Ian of youy SlGfe'-and
he Expresses his surprise still more at any such
charge because during the last session Of Congress
MIR. V. h. had emphatIcallY Deprecated any change
in the law.-Mr. T. p. Moore writes - thai he has
seen and read MIR. Van Buren's letter, and fhst no
such expression as that attributed 10 him is con.
tanned in it.'-Nay even the loyal c. Hammond.
one Of the original pfopagators OF ihr ,epori, is
compelled To confess in a suitical sort OF way.
