KREMER CHARGES REVIVED

peat, all the tales which party malice has suggest
led, respecting what they call the bargain and sale"
affair. The General himself has not sufficient me-
rt on which they can rely for his success They
know it and most sensibly feel it. TO make him
nay, even tolerable to large number
Iof persons, it is absolutely necessary TO impress
them with a belief that something really wrong took
place, when Mr.. Clay voted for Mr.. Adams. In re-
Iply, we ask
so tree from stain, upright, obseryant Of pro-
|prety and who is little practiced in any arts of
minor politicians for the purposes of his own adj
vancement For what one of the various stations
which he has held--so creditably TO himself and SO
advantageously to his countryside he ever make
even a request ? Fornone. Office has followed him,
because all know, (and few would hesitate to admit
it on other OCCASIONS he is admirably qualified for
those In which lie has been placed. The fathers of
the land--Washington aud Jefferson-early saw
and expressed their decided convictions ofhis fl:
ture eminrnce. The fathers of the land one after
another, appointed him to the most responsible
and important stations. And who has performed
the duties ofthem credtably and satisfactorily
to the nation? Let the man living be named, among
all his accusers, who has more honorably, more
faithfully, and more ably served his country. As
semble the whole host Of these precious patriots
|give them that which they have no-a conscience
not scared as with hot ron--select of the
worthiest of these worthies-and tell him, if you
have sinned less public man than tins whom you
have accused to throy the first stone. Now ask the
accused-Sir where now are thy accusers Where
the 800 Dollar Eatons The non-oou.mittlng Van
burens The "yaultlng" John {. Cahouns Your
Ridgelys, your M'Lanes, your Dckersons, your
Chambers, your Woodburys, and others who hold
their senatorial posts contrary TO the will of their
own states, when You resigned yours, not having
more evidence OF a difference in sentiment between
you and your constituents Where, Sir, are now
thy accuse1s? Gone--consclence stricken! Gor
they are necessarily supposed to have conscience
in this case.) They want thy post otherwise filled
for their own precious sakes, or to crafty some
feeling inconsistent with the best interest of the Ma
ton. They know that, unless the people can be
deceived in this matter, their projects will not only
not succecd-but that their advancement is at an
end--ther race is forever run
| No wonder that Chief Justice Marshall, who can.
not possibly be BIASED by any political hope,
there being nothing within the gift Of the President
10 tempt him. were It possible for him to be tempt
ed by any Office should feel constrained at his adj
vanced age to go to the polls, in consequence ofhe
gross injustice done by the accusers to that man, in
whose 4" life there is daily beauty that makes theirs
ugly"
| Yet, this man must have been like themselves
before their charge could be substantiated, admit
ting there were no other circumstances to disprove
lit.
2. Mr. Clay, by the testimony ofat least dozer
of the most respectable witnesses, made known hi:
determination not TO vote for General Jackson, Ions
before it was known that he himself would not be
among the number, out of which the house would
make choice He so declared himself more than {
months before the election in the House, and tina
declaration was put on record ; and this intention
was declared at various times, 10 different persons
for the space of half year. He knew Genera
Jackson too we'll to vote for him, under any circum
stances.
II Admitting, however, tnat TINS unanSWeraDle EVIL
dence did not exist, what proof there that there
must be bargain in this matter? What public man
SO suitable for the post of Secretary of State hao
more influence in the country than Henry Clay
What man could Mr.. Adams have appointed to tina
post, in the circumstances in which he placed
that would have gratitied larger portion of the
community in the different states Had therefore
Fl Mr.. Adams been like his accusers had the evi
I dence of Mr.. Cay's intention not to vote for Jack
son not existed at various times, more than 81,
months before the election; still, there was not the
least necessity for bargain with Mr.. Adams, mas
much MIR. Clay's talents, his standing Throughout
the country, and the large portion Of it which wa
