MORTGAGES.

A lis, OF Mortgages on Mr.. CIay's property,
was lately published by the friends Of Mr.. Bar
ry. The object of the publication WIS not So
much to injure Mr.. Clay's credit or TO produce
a belief of his insolvency, as to justify by his
example the practice Of covering estates by
Mortgages and Deeds of Trust, TO secure them
agains, the claims of just creditors, which GER
tair unfortunate gentlemen of the Jackson par
" in this nrighbonrhood are supposed to have
adopted. This practice it is believed has be-
come so common, that suspicion Of fraud gem

property, however honest his intensions. But
it is one thing TO convey awaylo keep off ones

DEAR SIR:
The variety in their modes Of attack, s
the industry of my enemies are remarkable, il
not s,ways c0mmendable. ] observe that some
of Them about Lexington have carefully search
ed The records OF Fayette, and extracted from
them most formidable list Of mortgages which
are paraGed as evidence OF my bankruptcy
The fairness Of this proceeding, in my absence,
on arduous public service, and without enquiry
into the fact whether the mortgages be exIln-
guishpd or not, is submitted to my fellow citl-
Zens Of Fayette. do not consider that man
who honestly fu6ls his pecuniarye engagements,
as entitled TO any special praise, or would not
observe, that can confidently appeal 10 all
with whom ever had pecuniary transactions,
to bear testimony to the fidelity with which |
have discharged mine invite the severes,
scrutiny into my conduct, in that respect, and
request a comparison of il with that Of any one
of those who now assail me. | never was sued
in my life for an uno ontes;ed debt-indeed
have no recollection, a: this time, of having ever
been sued for any ascertaineG debt, con>
tested or uncontested, and whether was prin
ci2a or endorser.
Mr. CLAY then speaks OF heavy response

er for his friends-& proceeds TO :ha, cause
is 10 be attributed my temporary retirement
from public life, and the renewal Of my profess
sional labors. then resol, ed not to endorse
for others, except in extraordinary cases, and
not to ask others to endorse for me, and that,
when it became necc ssary for ME give secusi-
ty,to pledge in the form Of mortgages, that Es.
tatewhich was the ultimate resource Of my cre-
ditors. Hence the greater number Of the mort-
cages which have been recently so Indignantly
exposed to the public observation. Mos: oil
them have been long since satisfied. Among
this number is one for debt of $4,000, for
