APPENDIX
In submitting the mass of testimony collected
mo this Appendix, the Committee deem it proper
10 say, that the principal object of their RepIy has
been to establish the understanding upon which
Mr. Clay voted for Mr.. Adams. Uron this point.
they are Of opinion, the evidence Is conclusive
They have not followed MIR. Clay through his in.
situations against Gen. Jackson. They have care
fully abstained from any disputation which NAV
lead TO false issue. The question is, Did Mr. C.
vote for Mr.. Adams under an understanding that
lie was TO be appointed Secretary OF State: The
reader viii, however, find in the Appendix the
violence OF disinerested and respectable witnesses
'fPr0viny almost every assertion and nsnuation
winch Mr. Clay has attempted TO make against
zen Jackson. Thus, the statement of Mr.. Eaton
~ the Senate, relating TO the authorship of Mr..
Areners letter; the letters Of Messrs. Eaton and
White OF the Senate. and those of Messrs Blair g.
sacks OF the House OF Representatives relative to
The statement of Mr.. Clay, that the Tennessee
delegation in Congress had given dinner for the
purpose of procuring reconciliation between Mr.
Clay and Gen. Jackson, which Mr.. c. insinuates
was sought with view TO obtain his vote for the
latter, prove that MIR. Clay's charges are without
shadow OF truth. The Committee have preferred
70 publish the testimony, and leave the public 10
HfaW tneir own inference, rather than enter into
an argument upon immatcria points; for Mr. C's
tact consists in his ability 20 make up false issues
selves.
Here comes the Extracts from the Western
Argus of the Evidence submitted during the In
@Festigaon in the Legislature of entucky; and the
Certificates respecting the declarations OF Mcssrs
1rimble, r. johnson and others of the Kentucky
delegation, which it is unnec cssary TO republish
But we think tit 10 lay before our readers the fol-
lowing proceedings of the Legislature Of Kentuc-
Ky IN December, Just before the election OF presi-
dent by the III. OF Representatives.
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
- FRIDAY, Dec. 49, 1924.
he resolution requesting the members of the
tiousc oil Representatives in Congress from t,
state, to vote for Gen. Andrew Jackson as Presi-
kert OF the United States &c. were taken up Mr.
y. Robertson moved 10 lay the whole subject on
the table, until the ist of June next. His reasons
were, that it would be unjust 10 our members of
Congress, who knew the will Of their constitu-
cnts better than we do; that il would be indicate
TO MIR. Clay, that ii would lessen the weight of
kentucky in the next Administration; that il WAS
better 10 leave our members OF Congress to act ac
cordlns TO contingencies; that the weight and i'm
portance Of the State and the western country
could in that manner, be best secured; that our
members on the spot would be the best Judges Of
what was just and expcdent &c. Mr.. Il. Har-
tlin avowed his preference for Mr. Crawford so
long as he had any chance, and his dislike to Mr.
Adams ION account of his original federal prnci-
pies, and his evident hostility TO the growth of the
West, as cyinccd by his votes in Congress on the
acquisition OF Louisiana, and his conduct else
where upon the navigation of the Mississippi and
The Missouri question He still entertained the
highest respect for Mr.. Crawford; but he had no
doubt a majority of the people of Kentucky were
IN favour OF jackson, and he wished to express that
preference decidedly. lie considered the contest
hptween Adams and Jackson, and he could have
40 hesitation in preferriDg the latter both because
nc thought it was best for the general interest and
TIC interest O.! the West. Mr.. Ciit,cndon offered
few remarks the eXpediency Of adopting the
resolutions, because the people Of Kentucky pre-
Ierred General Jackson, and because il was moi
known to the people when our members Of Con-
eTess left here, that Mr.. Clay would be excluded
from the House. Mr.. Robertson made few fur
'her remarks to prove the inexpediency OF acting
members in Congress 10 act according TO contin.
gencics Mr.. Shepherd had always been in favor
of General Jackson; some of the friends Of Mr. C..
lac had-no doubt, wished to defeat the resolution
and leave that gentleman TO make the best bargain
no could But he did not wish the vote Of Kcntuc-
KY 10 be bartered away, that Mr. Clay should be
Secretary OF State TO the exclusion Of Jackson as
President Mr.. Davies had been in favor of Mr.
Clay until lac had failed, and his second choice was
General Jackson. fit was thought by gentlemen
men that our members would vote for Mr. Adams
u was the more necessary that resolutions should
pass-tbat public opinion in Kentucky Inay be
known to them; and if il be supposed that they
will vote for Jackson, they can do no harm lie
was opposed 10 suffering any man to barter away
The vote of Kentucky; and he believed that Mr.
Clay himselfn, Rowing the will Of his State would
yoe Tor Jackson ia opposition to Adams, who in his
section OF country would not get one vote TO City
IN opposition to General Jackson. AS he had no
doubt OF the will Of the people, he must vote
jor the resolutions. MIR. Breck should vote for
laying the resolutions on the table, because he
knew no reason for acting Oh them. He had voted
for Mr.. Clay, but he would not disguise the fact
That he preferred any man VITO was, or had been a
cthdidate, 10 Gen. Jackson. We had elected MEM
bcrs Of Congress, and vas their business TO know
and perform the public will In his county he be.
jieyed that few would vote for Jackson against
Crawford; but he did not know how Il would be be-
tween Jackson aod Adams. lie thought if we act
cd at all, it ought to be BY the members ndividu-
ely, In private meeting, and not in Legislative Or
oticial capacity. Mr.. Chapeze would prefer Jack
son to any man except Mr.. Clay, and was indiffe-
