there may have been something which, wi,tou, expla-

pie, have been placed the head Of any committee.
This could hardly have occurred by accident. The
votes which Mr.. Clay received for the post OF Chair
man Of the Committee Of Manufactures. proba-

for Mr. Freliagbuysen, but by their adsersaries Mr..
Clay, and those who acted with him. had il in ,i.er

not opposed to the Naoaa Convention about to be
convened for his nomination the Presidency the
successor Of the Gneral,hai he is soikh the admin

were year ago. the N. Y. Evening Star publishes a
long LETTER from him, dated previously the late Pre-
sidenial election, FROM which VIC make number Of
exiracts:-

Dear Sir 81 have read with feelings oi peculiar

contempi and isgus, the and decla, atoms
which you ailudedesigned 70 cseaie belief that
the Presidential Electors nominated ON tbs 9th OF
March last, would, if elected, for Mr.. Van Buren,
as Vice President. will not believe, that any honesl
and iniegen friend Of Gen. Jackson be guilty Of
such gross temer,y. Should even wel-grouuded
suspicion prevail, that such would be uli-
maiely pursued BY any portion ol the electors
sicketiaoueands Of Gen. Jackson's sincere friends
would be deferred from supporting il; and f the
Tnpt empts induce this persisted IN TO
