SEEN tne dlfflculf.
which Mr.. Clay has got himself ana ~
House into, BY noticing in an imn,on.
way, a letter published in a n.wsns
wrote by a sorry member from psroei,
vabia. !t'
That Mr. Clay has ~corruU,lv 81,
himself, and transferred his frisnd. aug
Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri - ~ "
Adams, for the office os Secre,a,v
State; 10 all stuff and nonsense. va
will not be credited by thos. who LIZ"
him, or the delegation from those 49,
in Congress; but that they have 80
mined TO vote for MIR. Adams. I bsG"a'
in preference to Gen. jackson we
will say why did they not adhere. wv
expected, to Mr.. Crawford. whoa y
Clay was out of v,ewl The s. WIS
which some of them give me who t.A
always professed to be friendly - q"
Crawford, Is. that they could NJ, ~.
a majority of the members from .;,s'
Ohio or Kentucky, who would snna"s
Mr. Crawford; therefore, the frienfpt
Crawford were obliged to Join tboso "
Adams, OF rather chose to do 50. ;na.
ference to uniting with the friend
jackson, this they bad a right to do .,I
might honestly do, this is their ow, "a
o!ogy. My belief is that Mr.. CLAW ~
his friends had their particular re,so..
for so doing, but not the reason ;mn,.nI
TO them generally. | think i, the nsv,
President, four years hence;-ib;s :
think IS the true secret; or | think tho.
could have made up a majority in e;,h..
state TO support Nr. Crawford. IN.
other excuse was given me BY Mr.. CJa,
himself, it was the state of Mr. Cr.r
ford's health. One thing l have fell con.
6dent of, ever since our meeting ,b.,
with the aid Of Mr., Clay and bis fr;e nd.
we could have elected Crawford ~
friends ofAdams and Jackson beipp rov
in open hostility, may have a result tb,,
neither of them anticipated: some Of
Jackson's friends already say, that the,
too can change, and that they prefsy,
Crawford to Adams. Much, nav evarv
thing for Crawford, depends on N. yo,I
jackson and Crawford's friends in that
delegation are the majority, and if those
four or 1--WE in favor of jackson nnils
with those for Crawford, Adams capno,
DE elected, without more of the state !,
favor of jackson Join him 1t is M,
worth while specializing: all signs failip
stormy times; and we can all tell howl
is when the matter is ended. But I Am
70 Prophet, or the son of a Prophet. and
am heartily sick of the Job before we
begin it. One thing l have always fss
confident of, that this Congress would
not choose Andrew jackson. In FIJI,
too, may be mistaken. My belief i
now that Adams will be the man. and
most likely be SO without the aid of Viz.

lDr. Cravens desires that It NAV be
expressly understood that no unfriendIy
feeling towards Gen. Mccoy prompted
him to furnish the above extract. He
always had been, and still is, the warm
personal and political friend of Gen.
Mccoy. DR.. Cravens, however. con.
siders Mr.. Clay's character public prom.
erty; and therefore entitled to the protec.
tion of every good citizen

Argus OF Wednesday last says: "Con.
siderable sensation was produced yes.
terday throughout the city, by the report
OF the assassination and death of our |
much respected friend and fellow. cit |
zen, Gen. John F.. Wool, Inspect.
or General Of the u. s. Army. We
are happy 10 be enabled TO slate, that,
although ne was shot and wounded, ou
Monday, whilst in his residence, he
was not seriously hurt. Gen. Wool re.
sides at Nassau, Rensselaer, county, IL
miles East of this city"
The Albany Daily Advertiser, says
General Wool was wounded by a ps'
to! ball, fired at him by a near relation,
in a moment of anger, produced bya
refusal to loan him money. The wound
is not mortal.
Perhaps Perhaps there never was
