AMI over which Messrs. Adams and CLAW hal in

subsidized. Services, which, from their nature
could have been better performed by any inteln
gent merchant, residing in Cuba, than by a stran-

ana that some other services OF a very different

tion, Tor 80 900 compensation What so opportune,
what suited to the case as the vote of IIlinois
given by Cook to Mr.. Adams. What so appropri.

Let II once more be asked, what have the u s
gained by the expenditure Of these So, 900. Lite
rally, nothing worth cent. A mistake sir Tba
U. b have corruptly gained poor President. and
this poor President has corruotlv rained much
more-a fat offire.
But whatever may be the real g,.id pro g,to. En-,
following plain matters of fact" will be admitted
by all: That MIR. Clay was rewarded with tho nj
Zee of Secretary of State, after having voted for
MT Adams Mr.. Scott with some office not known.
MT look with promise OF $1,000, and Mr. Web
ster furnished with written pledge, in favor of

oeen hohofdofy given but this pledge, which is
yet III aberyance This written pledge is stated TO
be amongst the plain undeniable matters Of fact,
and Tor this plain and conclusive reason that bas
oeen over and over again charged, and vet re.
proof positive, that it is tI,,ienabie Besides mn.
thing could be easier than its denial and because
every motive which could actuate the conduct OF
man calls Tor its denial, II denable it was Be.
SUES TINS charge has actually been denied in eve.
ry instance OF an individual, to whom il had been
accidentally inisappied; and MIR. Adams himself
most incautiously hazardet a general denial. of
such Character, "a to draw his own yeraci,v ip,n

same motives which impeeo him 10 hazard
general, would impel him 10 a partcuJ,r dep,i ;f
