In .fecting the election OF the younger Adams 10
the Presidency, and through that cleo into
power the men Of the Hartford Convention, an open
Goa iuon was formed with di,ingushe politician Of
the West whose exertons and whose emiDen, talents
up to that PERIOD had m HE main heen directed 10 The
support OF democratic principles. Mr.. Clay made Mr..
Adams President agains, the express instructions If
his own constituents; and Mr.. Adams reward for
this breach OF good faith, in contempt OF the people,
presented Mr.. Clay with The office Of Secretary OF
State.
We have seen the same Mr.. Clay ever since aching

we have seen Mr. Clay, as its head and leader ime-
aely declaring war against the administrations and
following up that declaration by travel ing through the
western county, attending barbecues and delivering i'm
FASHIONED dinner speeches, intended to create a Shirt
OF opposition and array the worst passions of the COM
munity against the administration.
we have seen the same ultra party denouncng eve

as cruel anu mercess tyrant, nsdious and over
reaching, and wickad-at another time as imbeciIe
incapable OF doing any thing himself and only of NOV

the best interests of the country-a another as being
incapable OF marking out and pursuing any settled

cared war against him eat the thrsshold;" il Is true
hat Congress has not backed up 10 the that the
