 & The Louisville Public Advertiser. after copying from the Baltimore Paifiof, all cx. ,ttact of a letter from Kentucky, some time pince published in our paper, giving an ac- count ofIGov. PopE's apostacy, follows il by the following extract from the Iaich. mond y hig. tie most violent 6a7ag paper ir the Union; and then proceeds to publish denial of the part which he Is said to have acted; we republish this denial, mere sy to show tho Editor of the Gazette that Ve are magnaaimous. It will be seen that Penn values the Richmond paragrapil high ly; because, although it is from Clau na. per, it contains a spice of Gattery for his ancient ally.
 Nfessfs.G Clay and Pope were long ri- yals, and at One time, we believe, per sonal antagonists, and much of the O. position which prevails in Kentucky to Mr. Clay, is to be traced to the un- friendly influence of Gov. Pope. UIl- der ti.eEe Circumstances, and holding
 moreover, an office under President Jackson, the Governor avowal of the opinions expressed above, is noble and magnanlnous. Punishment no doubt awaits hiln.--Riehmond JHhig.
 Whatever Gov. Pope may have said inthe presence of others, it is proper that ve should contradict the foregoing statement. [. Penn, p,eper dined af Mr. .ailan,s Ill company with Gov. Pope or een. iiinds-~por did Gov. Pope ever make such declarations to Penn as he lsrePresentdd to have made in the fore going article. The extract alluded to. l
 1t IS impossible for us to say what Gov. Pope did or did not say, at the pFvate dniaer party referred to-but we should hot think # strange if he did speak of Mir. Clay as a man above me- dleerlty in point of talents. He could Iat have si'okeTafiil ether terms Of air. Clay without lcsserliIg himself in the estlmatioa of those who heard him because in the political contests be- tween Mfr. c. and Gov. F. in carly years, 1t is known that the former tri- unphed. This single consideration has always been sufficient to restrain Gov. .opc from indulging in any thing like abuse Of Mir. Clay. I!aa he pronounc- Cd MT. Glaycorrupt, the assertion would nave been pronounced the offspring of personal hatred--had he underr.ted the talents Of Mir. Clay, he would have been reminded of their early contests, and h!s own discomiturc. Il is there !ore obvious that Gov. Pope mustalways 'cci delicately situated, when it be- comes necessary for him to speak of the character or conduct of Mir. Clay.
 When the conduct of gentleman is ,lils .n mlsrepresented, when tho Clay par Vhnd It necessary to bolster their lead erup, to distort what may have been uttered at private social party, the public will, we think, agree with US. mat their condition is desperate.
 It IS not our intention to enter into m agurnent, with respect to the morali- Wor depravity of this system of political paf'Fpsns on that point tine public arc $ eoiliprteat te decide as We can be. vur object, Tn noticing the article we aave quoted, was, simply to state, that ve ewere not one of the party referred 70, and heard no such declaration as it attributes t9 Gov. Pope.
 As the Editor of the Gazette has request en us to publishthe above article, provided ~e have sufficient smagnanimiiy," VIC pre- tune we can do it without much Of d tax apon what of that virtue we may possess. rem s denial of the precise conversation es the precise time stated, falls far short of convincing us that some such conversation as not held at some time or at some place. f's oenlal, couched in such ambiguous sFrms, and followed immediately by par Siai admission of the G Goyernor's sentiments Y expressed, would stamp upon our minds fsAss the assertions of our correspondent ~ahnot be discredited. Some of the Clau Papers claim the Governor as a genuine ."oers--othsrs disclaim him; some of the ssAson papers, or rather Gov. Popc's t'''ls' will have it, that he is good Jack ." uovernor, but little touched with s'0g's"' We mnst admit it is rather sssmall ! oosA to make such a fuss about G1ovornor 6 -1' as all of them will soon learn he s;a uoe stand long enough ca any one Ses to Do countea.s
