Harrison received the nomination at Harrisburg,
that fellow was busy in defaming Mr. Clay, and
charging him with being an AbOlitionist, in the
face of his celebrated speech delivered in the
Senate Now, forsooth, he turns to eulogise him.
Kendall charge Mr.. Clay with abolition! and
then have the impudence to compliment hint
The public have not forgotten that this startling
made his way to Kentucky, where the family of
Mr. Clay warmed and fed him, and nursed him
in sickness. Yet the first act of this black in
CRATE, was to turn and sting his benefactors.-
The calumny of such creature was harmless,
but the friends of Mr. Clay feel the insult of
his praise.
Is it not strange that any son Of Kentucky
should have recommended such a man to office,
yet so it was. Some of the delegation did so
for a chief clerk or auditor, with his own hand
he struck out the clerkship with pen, and he
and Lewis were the two first appointments made.
So odious was he at that time, that he was ins
debted to Mr.. Calhoun for the casting vote,
which saved his office, and yet he was scarcely
secure, before he exhibited the native infamy Of
his character, by turning upon Mr.. Calhoun
apropos, find in one of your recent numbers,
that Messrs Blair and Kendall would not dare
to defend Gen. jackson against your charge
for fear of offending their new patron and friend
Mr.. Calhoun.
have reason to believe that Mr.. Kendalps
attention has been drawn to this matter within
the last few days, by friend of Gen. jackson,
when he remarked g that it would not be prudent
or polite at this time to revive the controversy
between Gen. jackson and Mr. Calhoun, but
that he was now engaged in writing the life of
the General, which he hoped to have ready for
the press by next winter, when the friends of the
old Hero, would find, that he had not only de-
Tended him against every suggestion contained
in Duff Green's numbers, but that he has car
ried the war into Africa, and if after reading his
exposition of that controversy, MIR. Calhoun did
not stink in the nostrils of every honest and
candid man, he (KendalD should conclude that
the hard cider fever had completely blunted the
senses of the American people,"
But said this friend of the Generals, would
you thus treat Mr.. Calhoun, after he had been
so active and efficient in your cause. eyes"
said Mr.. Kendall, S'we understand him perfect
ly well. He wishes to use us and we are
solved to use him first-and when have
further use for him. we'll use him up" FFHow-
ever, of this conversation say nothing till after
the November election. Gen. jackson and MIR.

money Consul, whose fslabor of love" has so
often been quoted as evidence, by Benton, of the
of the fiscal arrangements of Cuba
over the United States. The committee asked
to be discharged on the ground that the Senate
may be called on to act judicially, and therefore
ought not to enter into any examination, and
ask to be discharged from its further considera-
ton, which was agreed to.
A very furious debate ensued ON a question of
a grant of land to the Rock river and Mississip-
pi land company, in which MIR. Allen denounced

most interesting points of the Union, it probably
will not be unacceptable to you, to receive occa-

their own city, the vast trade she has heretofore
njoyed, and still extensively possesses; and
which is of the grand sources of her support
and prosperity.
That trade, by its own imperative laws, will
leave untouched the diyerging avenues leading
to that city; and following the nearest and cheap

Intelligent men of that city, are rapidly en-

pairing themselves, in mind at least, to locate
themselves here, and establish at once, the bush

great mart of the vast countries connected with
it.
Some people may blink the subject as much as
they please; they cannot alter the fact-that here
