sequence Of the opinions and feelings engendered
by recent local controversies; but in the approach

Jackson in that county voted for Mctcafc.
a gentleman from Nicholas says, that more than
200 Jackson men in that county voted for him. In
almost every county, ho or 100 Old Cour, jackson
men either did not vote at all voted for Met
cafe. Only 40 in county, would make more than
1900 in the State. no
MORE FALSEuOoDS.
The National Journal gives General Jackson's
accounts while Commissioner to receive possession
OF Florida and asserts that at the same time he was
receiving salary Of $4,000 Governor of that
province. This is utterly false His salary Gov
crnor did not commence until his duties as Com
mi> soner CcascH.
On receiving possession of Pensacola, he rave
mn EN- tertanment TO the Spanish officers as is the
custom in such cases, all which the Editors of the
Journal well knew; yet they represented the wine
and other articles procured for that entertainment,
IA purchased for the Generals own table!
Moreover, these accounts all passed the inspec-
ton oil MIR. Adams himself while Secretary of
State, were approved by him and upon his approval
paid! et, Mr.. Adams friends now attempting
10 use them against the General. If they were
wrong, or exorbitant, how came Mr. Adams TO al
4, low them? The money was not going into his own
pocket, like the double outfits, salaries, contingent
cles & expenses OF constructive journeys upon the
Client Mission. There is no doubt, that he cheat
I'd the government for his own benefit; hut would
ne do it for the benefit of General Jackson when
1t was to bring nothing into his own pocket,
The friends Of Mr.. Adams are as iinpudent as
old Ebony, or they would not dare to present
r..
adams, to disparage the old soldier before the PEG i
pie. Tfb
CLAY AND HIS COMMITTEE.
II will be recollected, that Mr.. Clays Commit
Zee in Frankfort refused to furnish copy Of his
iirst letter to Mr.. Blair for publication, on the
ground that they were not authorised 10 give CO.
pies. We learn, that copies have been refused
10 other Jackson men who requested leave to take
them.
We hope that every man TO Whatever party he
may belong will, lift be in his power obtain sight
OF that letter. a copy is in the hands of Col. Da
wilson, Treasurer of Kentucky, or it may be seen
by application TO MIR. Clay himself We assure the
public, that the expressions contained in the letter
are stronger than we have represented. 1t carries
on its face proof that Mr. Clay acting IN refer
ence to his own aggi andizement. 1t proves an in
terview or interviews between Mr.. Clay and Mr. |
Adams friend of his "with tears in his
eyes 1t proves, that Mr.. Clay had not made up
his mind to vote for Mr.. Adams against General
Jackson until about the time the letter was writ
tcn Ii proves that Mr.. Adams friends were the !
only men who attempted 10 influence his vote by |
appealing to his future interests. IL proves |
by Mr.. Clay's own admission, that his friends |,
were actuated ir their vote by their kind wish |
es towards him. II proves Mr.. Clay guilty OF |
low intrigue in endeavoring TO influence by secret
means, the vote of one OF the peoples represen-
'aves. In fine, il proves all that has been sus-
pccted or charged relative to its contents SO clear
manner that the people need only 10 see it to |
return against Mr.. Clay verdict OF GUILTY |
there is nothng IN It's language not decoIous to-
wards the public, and il is withheld from public
inspection only because Mr.. Clay is afraid to let
The people see it. (Ib.
