ded by his hearers. Intending to say something
offensive to MIR. Clay, lie began by speaking of
him as intending to he the Viceroy OF Gen. Harf-

Gus. lie was in 10 such position, and sought not
TO be in one. lie had neither written to General

tered one sentiment that could be construed into
any action in reference to the forthcoming admin
ist ration.
