caargc against AIR. Adams and AIR. Ciayas ground
less, and noforfousiy disproved by the ample tee
UHa0Ry which has been laid before the
world" The reader will know how to Judge OF
tas conclusive and overw heniug testimony when
n Is told thal the pamphlet contains some ~ pa
ses-- the LIST part, COUGHING Gea. Jackson's re-
marks exhibiting the statements OF Messrs. w
Sample, J. Bennett, the Rev. A. " vile, J. keerl
L. Jones & j. U Warngihe I'd part relates To
the opinions expressed by Mr.. Clay, and consists
OF statements from Messrs u. Robertson aud L

Forres---and MIR. Clay ekes out his pamphlet with
statements from Col Benton, Nv Plumer, Mr..
Robertson OF Ohio, ID. White, aud two old letters
Of his own to gentlemen in Virginia, which last
statements had all been previously published
his is the whole Supplementary evidence, which
IS deemed so " conclusive" We shall lay il be-
lore our readers---and let them Judge for them
selves.
1t has left very different impression upon our
minds. Its silence is most significant Its omis-
sons are fatal to the OF MIR. Clay--ior, the
friends OF open and fair dealing, will at look
TO The manner in which Mr.. Clay met the strong
charges that have been b:ough, against him since
December last-They will demand, how Mr.. e..
mas rebutted the testimony that has gone forth i'll
the Investigations before the Senate Of Kentucky,
and in the address ofthe Washington jackson Com
mittee. They will know how to appreciate his
defence, when they are told, that not one word,
one solitary whisper, has escaped him in reply to
these weighty documents Not one word OF Blair
mot one word of his letters TO Bair-not one
word from Trimble or F. johnson, about the de-
lciarations which they had made OF its being ascer-
taiiiSd thatn Adams made President, Clay
trouid DC made Secretary OF State Not word
from Clay about the pamphlet OF Kendall the
T. says oil Wayne'-not word In reply 10 Gen
Floyd or Moore, Wicklifie or Carneal-(an
swhy, may be asked, does he now hunt up for
! proofs OF what h. may have said in favor of Mr..
Adams, when Gen. Floyd comes forward to tell
nun that he (AIr Clay informed him how doubt
iul he was about the vote he should give, and that
he never was much puzzled in all his lile-and
when Il. Moore declares that Mr.. &. recommend
ed 1t to The Delegation of Kentucky to hold them
selves 'uncommitted:) Not word DOES the
supplement urge in contradiction Of these weishty
docunenis--and therefore il is, we consider this
last stepof Mr.. Clay as the most fatal that he has
yet taken, and his supplement- far more calcula-
led 10 inJure him ny what it does not say, than to
serve him by what it does say.
| Mr.. Clay well knows the cloud of suspicion
whch has been cast upon hiin by the silence OF
MI. BLAIR. He knows that the public has called
Tor his letters TO Mr. Blair; ha called him to I'M
seal the lips of Mr. Blair and that his silence had
gwen rise TO the strongest impuatiors of his guilt
Is TINS silence now broken? Does this meagre body
oil supplementary evidence supply the ominous o.
| mission! No-hlr. &. still skrnks from the devel-
lopement OF his own ietters-& he compels the world
10 conclude, that he dares luce them because
they carry with them the proofs of his conviction
Ii would have been infinitely better for Mr.. Clay
to have thrown this miserable pamphie, into the
flames, than TO afford such fearful evidence against
himself.-He cannot be inscnsihJe TO the dilemma
| IN which he stands His clear understanding can
not be drugged by the loyal panegyrcs of the Off
ciai organs at Washington. SycOphants may seek
to abuse his ear-but Henry CLAW well knows that
public man must clear himself of every appear
ance OF suspicion-and that his letters TO Mr. Blai
| ought TO be produced.
