the gentleman attempted some thing like an ernln

privilege OF drying fish and other privileges within
the British possessions in North America that he
learnt his political c. in and how to despse Mr.
Adams know, sir that the Jackson version of this

gentleman ought not so to have forgotten that
Amos Kendall and not Mr.. Clay, sehooed him into
these revolving feelings against Mr. Adams Has

the story of Mr. Adams hostility TO the West with
out seeing or consulting Mr.. Clay t:lat on Mr.
