less responsible, because another approved

his flatterers TO quiet his approximations OF

since 1898 She will follow New York, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana and Louisiana, in giving
her entire electoral vote, against Andrew
Jackson and Martin Van Buren.
MIR. Clay has declined the invitation to the
public dinner rendered him by the citizens oil

that he was unwilling 10 break in upon the
rule which he had laid down for himself
"not to accept of any invitation TO public

he continues before the public in the attitude
