supposed TO be the certificate which the brother Of
Col. Woolley gave to Mr.. Clay, and which was pub

Another circumstance which has excited much
feeling and conversation i'll political circles is the
unceremonous removal Of Dr. Jones late of your

Jones given away By Gen. Jackson to DIR. Crair
without any consultation with MIR. Van Buren, in
whose department the Patent Office is. Mr.. Van
Buren, on learning the fact, addressed General Jack
