not ouly without authority. but in open viola Of law.
Happy is for the country, that the close Of this reign is

gang have been there long and have become much
accustomed sucking noidnaely the Treasury nipple,
that they look upon these flchng tricks, only with
" eomposure," but with appreciation.
The country and the people require change Of their

The Nedgp.--ln our last we made few ohscr-
vations relating 10 this affair, which it will now be
seen by the admission of MIR. Walsh (Which we
publish to day one Of the witnesses were correct.
That is to say, Mr.. Adams made bargain with
Mr.. Webster for the Federal votes in Congress-
1t is material to keep this in mind, as it affords the
strongest possible inferenal proof of his bargain
with Clay 1t will occur to every mans understand
ing when the state Of the House of Representatives
at the time Of the Presidential election was going
on in it, is recoected, that one bargain, made the
other indispensable to Mr.. Adams. The Federal
votes bought of Mr.. Webster, would he of no use
to him, without etfectng the purchase from Mr..
Clay. as without Clay's votes he could not have
been elected. Of course then as soon as Webster
had made the transfer, and Mr. Adams had put
his hand writing to the promssory condition, be set
about completing the speculation, and this could
only be done by securing the Western votes,
and these Mr.. Clay had at command.--We think
this bargain is now so fully sustained BY the ap
paaranccs, the result, and the proof, that it will
not longer be denied The contract with v ebstcr
was denied as bitterly by the Adams presses, as
the one with Clay But Daniel could not be
brought to deny it himself, ant in this respect be
differs from Mir. Clay The latter probably had
no instrument Of writing. and has therefore de-
clarcd by construction, that there was no bargain
This however may be aimltted hereafter for it has
heen lonp time since the Webster contract was
known and often have the witnesses been called up
on by name to speak out, but until now not word
has escaped them. We shall expect some one to
blah the other story vet and if Gen. Macarthur had
uot his land business settled and out Of the way,
we should think he would be the very mas, who,
for conscience sake, would tell what little OF the
affair he was permitted to know.-But there is
yet another quarter from which the truth may
