the body polite brought into the management of pub
lie affairs, and that Mr. Blars disquisitions upon IN,
"cosruption" Of Adams and Clay, in his Rcpor, ,s
Congress ut the Session preceding the last may b,
duly appreciated. Col. John Williams was fo, merl,
senator from Worcestershire same who, when in
sUsS, ne was discarded TO make way for Gen. Jack

the moro he is whipped the more he fondles on his
master. Some years since, when Ma. BLAIR was
mcmoer OF our State Legislature he voted for the
system OF relief measures which was atopted -
General Jackson, who opposed to those mea
sures. came to Murfreesborough as il was said and
published at the time, and publicly proclaimed sub

that "PoLrTfcALLY," not the least confidence il To
be rcposed in him-that he will resort to the mos,

proceed to sew that he ia scarcely to be trusted in

In the political, us in the natural world a whirl

other evidences, this IS manifested by the that
Mr.. BLAIR ~ member OF Congress. For ONLY
lew years since, he was the acceptable companion of
Inc otachtegs OF the country; & on one occasion dis
graced even his associates by successfully resisipr
recovery on his note in the hands of an innocent as

tracts from the records Of WASHINGTON county Aud

Aside from hisate publication and his late ,uov,
