The following extracts frox letter OF Mr..
PoFNpExTEs IN reply to note OF invitation
to dinner given in honor Of Mr. CLAY at Cha 4

satisfactory evidence of the relation in which
those gentlemen stand 10 each other.

ity aud integrity Of the great and good men
then at the head Of our affairs, and upon
whom fssehood, salumny, and bitterness,
have been exhausted; but who have come
forth from The trial with new claims to the re-
spest, tho Conscience, and the gratitude Of
their ceuntry.
