4 TO THE EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER.
Being greatly troubled in mind, and considerably uD-
easy at the effects that said have been produce
by the great Clay meeting beg leave trouble YOU
with few lines for your advice After the awful note
OF preparation which preceded that meeting, the elo-
quent and emphatic appeals in the Wing, the numer-
handbs that used to stir the tagging zeal of
the party, and the ringing OF "the great be forwards
and sideways, and every other way, If there be any
but "6dckUaTds" flor as the bell rung shack
wards as am told, for the Anti Tariff meeting, the
Caymen scorned TO ring il in that for their
neeting0 had really supposed that the effect would
have been overwhelming the jackson party and that
such meeting would have presented the nation such
array OF facts and such powerful as would
not only have grai6ed" the friends of Mr.. Clay but
have secured the appreciation of the waverng and the
neual and siienced the conpainDgs of his opponents
and all this may have been done, and / am told has
been done, but alas! unlucky wight that am. cannot
perceive II: and earnestly beg, therefore, Me.srs
Editors that you will put right upon the subject as
have no doubt you understand the matter, and let
me know IL the Jackson party is really "kilt" I do
not DeIeve II 49, but greatly fear that am wrong,
take 1t for granted that when big Lawyer like him
who opened the meeting, and a distinguished public
officer like the Auditor OF Public Accounts who am
told wrote the preamble and resolutions put their
toge'ner, something serious must be the consequence
but men, again, have my doubts whether the Auditor
OF Public Accounts did write the preamble and resou
tons, because he not only was not OH the committee
appointed to prepare them, but am told actually de-
chned 10 serve upon IL when proposed he should
90 go How could he prepare the Report then? and vhy
should he decline TO be upon the committee n he had
sready prepared all the work that the commite. was
appointed 10 prepare! II IL was because he did not like
committees (Which am told sometimes very ,rou.
olesomel why didn't he get up and offer his preamble
ana resolutions at once to The meeting instead of send
ing II out 10 the committee TO bring back 10 bim1 for
