CLAY AND HIS COMMITTEES.


1t will be recollected, that Mr.. Clay's Committee
in Frankfort, refused TO furnish US copy of his
first letter to Mr. Blair for publication, on tie
ground that they were not authorised to give co
pies. We learn that copies have been refused to
other Jackson men who requested leave TO take
them. 1t was not, therefore, without surprise, that
I'VE received intelligence Few days befoie the e.
lection, that copy had been sent tc leader Of the
coalition in distant country for the purpose Of
being shown TO such persons as in his discretion he
lmisht think proper. We have since learnt from
an unquestonabIc source, that many manuscript
copies have been sent out from this place for ST.
inar object.

land his friends do mt intend the people shall see
the ta;a letter. II is to be placed within the reach
lpuly OF his devoted partxans every where, who
are to tell the people they have seen it and it
mounts to nothing. in this manner it is ex.
pectcd to break the effect which a disclosure of
Is contents has already made upon the com.
nun;ty Those at least, who have been led into
!! he belief that the Argus ard the Jackson papers
icontaln nothing but lies, and that for them to
cad those papers would be as great crime as
