always fearful that he will TO some imprudent
thing, that will throw them into turmoil and con-

course, between them settled political dislike, that
tered deeply into their feelings, as TO forbid all sort of

1t must be remembered also, that at the time Mr. Clay

TArd-That by pnning Mr. Clay to his sleeve, he would
arrive at the object stated in first position, and avoid
