they have not changed. The PerPe

the Colonization Of the Colored Pc

liz the District Of Columbia, over which
Congress has exclusive legislative pow

to the whole Union, are amongst
those that are near to nv heart. The
completion Of the Cumberland Road
thro' our State, and the Construction
Of a great leading Road from the
Lake to the Ohio River, are subjects
more local in their character, but eqal-
" entitled to the attention Of the re-
preventative,
am conscious that during the an
cry and exciting political contests
which have existed in the country for
some years past, have acquired ma
ny political enemies amongst those
who have differed from me in opinion.
Yet, such has been, and still is, my
conviction Of the truth and corree tness
of the principles for which lhave con-
tended, and the integrity Of those
whom ] hive supported for President.
that, notwithstanding defeat has been
the result Of the exertions in their be-
half, could not hesitate to pursue the
same course again, under similar cir
we're ! permitted to d. SO.
lhave nothing to conceal on this, or
any other subject, of interest to the
people. At the recent election for the
Presidency, ! supported Henry Clay,
and although he was rejected BY a
of the people, regard the
day that had it in my power. to evil
1ence BY my vote the bigh -st,mation
in which ! held his principles, talents,
patriotism and integrity, as one Of the
nappiest days Of my lie, and SO far
rom having changed my opinion ofthat
llustrious statesman, am, if possible,
more fully than ever convinced. that
he people will yet do justice to his
and character. Vet, as the
representative Of the people, ! would
discard in my votes, all personal Predi-
ec,icns for men, when principles are
involved. Men pass away like sum-
ner days, but principles are eternal.
The strong manifestation which
eceived at two former elections, Of the
friendship aud regard Of my fellow
itizens, and the repeated solicitations
f my friends that 4 should again De a
inspire me with full conf
encc, that, the present occasion,
hall not be forgotten at the polls.
Itis highly probably that efforts vii
,c made to induce my friends to be-
eve, that should MIR. Kar.den and my
elf both be in the field, in comPeti-
ion with Gen'l McCar,y, inasmuch as
re were both supporters Of Mr.. Clay,
nd Genl McCarty a Jacksonian, l
rust inevitably be defeated, ny a d.
ision Of the Clay party on one side,
nd the union Of the jackson party on
he other. Should All effort be made
D produce this impression, to my
'ieuds would say-that l attn not
1illing to believe, that all who sup
orted GenI jackson, in tins Congress
onal District, will feel disposed to
raw the line against me. But should
be mistaken in this, and should they
link proper to prescribe me for hon.
