tiol, another instance of the oupuurngs Of that dis,
appointed ambition prejudice, and envious niaignty
which have been bountifuliy bestowed on Mr. CLAY
and some Of his friends, for the last two Years and
bali; and such II seemed to il ought have been
esteemed so long it rested alone on the authority
OF an anonymous writer. For several reasons do not
think we ought to give crcdence To General Jacks0n'
having made such statement, without good proof Of
the tat. Viewing The publication in the light have
mentioned, had not supposed any notice Of il couiA
be called for expected.
have no hesitation, however, in answering your in.
qu'Ties hfer rcclting the above extract Won say 10
me- off such proposition ever made by the
friends OF hir Clay to those Of General Jackson It must
have been known To many persons, and the fact there

to inform me whether you know or believe ANY sucf,
proposition was ever made? Or whether conditions
of any sort, made by the friends Of Mr. CLAW 10
any person, on a compliance With which their votes
made to dcpend?'
TO The first branch Of the inquiry, my answer is ,,qt
have no knowledge Of any such propositions nor do
believe any such was ever made.

VINO were members of congress ut the time of tn.

saying That never heard the dist ant insinat;on

Is neither BY marriage nor partnership, nor

property capable OF transfer, it would provoke
