tnree. hr. Beatty, an Administration
member, offered resolutions reprobating
the attack made on the regulations Of
Messrs Adams and Clay, and expires.
snug the confidence Of the LIE gisIature of
Kentucky in those gentlemen. By way
OF sett ofi, Gen. Allen, jackson mem
Der, moved to clothe the committee to
whom the above was referred, with the
power OF sending for persons and pa
pers, to investigate the transaction upon
which the charge of bargain againss
Messrs. Adams and Clay was founded.
fothis course the friends of the admi-
nistration assented - foreseeing that il
they rejected il as they had the power to
do, the rejection would be ascribed by
the Jacksonians with thtir usual liberal
ity, to fear of investigation--and be-
cause they were well satisfied 10 meet
the charge and challenge proof On
Thursday the slst of January, the in
vestigation commenced, and we refer to
an article from the Kentucky Reporter
tor its progress to the conclusion Of the
second dav.
From Kentucky we learn privately
that this proceeding is we'll understood to
be instigated bv the private enemies of
MIR CLAY, with John Pope at their head
--thatthe Jackson witnesses after brsg.
ging and bullying for IN anths-- driving
r Claws friends TO an investigation,
and affirming that proof was plenty and
complete were backing out on all sides.
The sum and substance of the evidence
in the Senate, is that Messrs. Il. John.
son, Tfimble. and ID White, late menu
bers OF Congress, avowed that they
voted for Mr. Adams with the expecsa-
ton that he would appoint Mr.. Clay
Secretary of State
The Frankfort Argus, edited by A
mos Kendall, a viper warmed in Mr..
CLAWS bosom, who has returned his ut
most paternaI kindness with the usual
gratitude of that -fouad. the
presumption of Mr. Ciay's guilt upon
the fact, that letters were written by
Mr.. Clay's friends, to the Kentucky
representation in Congress, urging them
to vote for Mr.. Adams in the ground
that he would associate Mr. Clay With
himself in the Executive. That such
letters were written is evdent--and hs
must be a very fastdious man, who
does not acknowledge that such letters
are entirely legitimate, nay further,
that the expectation that Mr.. Adams
would appoint Mr. Clay Secretary Of
State, was proper and legitimate
ground of preference for Nr. Adams by
the Kentucky delegation, over General
Jackson Ii they conceived the APP
pointmsnt OF Mr. Clay important for
the welfare of their State--and IL they
expected that this would be made by
Mr.. Adams and not by Gen Jaekson--it
was an honest and Sufficient ground Oh
preference between two men, holding
the same political tenets. Bur what will
the reader say to this deduction Of Viz. :
Kendall when he learns that Mr. ken-
dali himself. was by bis own admission,
one of the persons who wrote to the
Kentucky representation, urging them
10 vote for Mr. Adams. Oh the ground
that be would raiss ur. Clay to the De-
partment Of STATED II any disapproba.
ton is felt, il must be directed against
hr. henuaii, VINO urst urges 'uc az
pointment Of Mr.. Clay by Mr.. Adams,
and then cites this very appointment as
a proof OF bargain and corruption! We
have seldom known so fragrant an in
