with some of the particulars, but choose to wait
while. Mr.. Eaton is disposed to show hight
Mr.. Insham is not belligerent. Perhaps Mr..
Berrien's mettle will be tried. Mr.. Branch is
too far off or else he would be called upon to toe

The Globe talks of :. Holy Alliance" against
General Jackson. True, there is a Holy Ali

I'm the year 1897, Amos Kendall in his evil
deuce before the Senate of Kentucky, gave the
following testimony. 1t has been recently cited
BY the Telegraph:
{" Witness replied that he came to Kentucky
early in the year 1914, while MIR. Clay was in
Europe; that it so happened that Mrs. Clay en-
ployed him 10 live Ill her family one year and
teach her children; that he remained there
about year, and then settled in Georgetown;
that shortly afterwards he went to Lexington on
business, and was takn sick in boarding house;
that Mrs. Clay hearing of it, sent her carriage
for him, and as soon as he could be removed, had
him carried to her house, where she nursed him
with the utmost kindness until he was able to re-
turn to to Georgetown; that Mr. Clay had
not vet come home, and witness had never seen
him; that this kindness of Mrs. Clay laid him un-
der a weight of obligation to her which he always
felt and acknowledged; that when Mr.. Clay
came home. he received very cordial letter
from him for his services in his family, &c. that
an acquaintance was formed shortly after. which
was kept up with the most friendly feelings un-
Ill since the late presidential election; that he
had been stimulated in his exertIons to promote
Me- Clay's views by lis obligations to Mrs.

man is the bosom friend of the President, and
exercises as great an ina unece perhaps as any
other person in the affairs of the Government.

pies its columns with the Telegraphs old g Black
List" pennedby Mister Amos Kendall. Prob

to the black catalogue" Doubtless the Globe

forget particularly to enumerate the cases OF

ministration. If these fellows are dealt with IN
Kendall's best style, the list will be BLACK G.
