MR.. CLAY'S VINDICATION-Mr Clay
has just published a pamphlet of GO pages,
containing his address to the people of the
u. s. and documentary evidence clearly es-
tablishing his innocence of the charges pre-
ferred agairst him Its extreme length will
prevent US from presenting it to our readers
We have read it attentively, and are con-
vinced that il will satisfy even the enemies Of
the Secretary that his political conduct is
without a stain. Twenty members of Con-
gress were said to have voted for Mr. Adams,
under the corrupted influence of Mr. Clay.
The testimony of these gentlemen, and Of
others equally respectable, is now given TO
the world. 1t completely exculpates Mr.
Clay from all improper motives in promoting
the success of Mr. Adams, and clearly csta-
blishes tho fact that he declared his dctermi-
nation in case the contest should be between
Mr.. Adams and Gen. jackson, to give to the
former his support Among these documents,
so important not only to individual character,

Gen Jackson shonld DO the only candidates
for the Presidency. The address and its con

aud Secretary, and exhibit Gen. Jackson, no
only as silently suffering many misrepresen.
tatlons to be circulated, knowing they were
unfouuded, but as having, both at home and
abroad, aided in giving currency to these un
jus. and libellpus mputations. This complete
vsndcation will restrain the repetition o
SANDERS, which can no longer be believed
and that unieeling spirit Of defamation which
has so long, and 50 mpuden,ly trampled upon
truth, will shrink with shame from this de
lection Of its ialsehood this naked exposurr
Of It's disg gusting detormity.
