81. DUDLEY'S STATEMENT.
]. Dudley, Esq, a Senator, from Franklin and
Owen countless being called upon, made the io'iow
ing statement on the floor of the Senate One Gay
in January 1926, r. z. Blair came into the SENATE
Chamber, seated himself near me, and inquired my
opinion on the resolutions passed requesting our men'
bes Of Congress 10 vote for General jackson as rre
ident Of the United States Mr.. Is. desired 'ha'
would write letters requesting the members ana par
ticuary ID. White from this district, to consult w',h
Mr. Clay and vote as he might desire 10 this 20
iected and gave my reasons therefor Mr. d. APP
peared surprised that | should raise any oDJecuons,
particularly as was opposed to the resolutions nc
said that a number Of members OF both houses, VINO
voted for the resolutions had written such letters ana
that | could do il with more proprely. lie saiu u
Mr. White could be induced to vote for Mr. Adams,
he would obtain the vote Of Kentucky, and WIN u
The votes Of most of The Western States, which would
elect him. in which case Mr. Clay would obtain the
appointment of Secretary Of State then inquired
how that fact had been ascertained! HIS answer
was that letters had been received from gentlemen o
undoubed veracty at Washington city, containing
such information that might rely with confidence
on that statement replied that, although was OPP
posed TO the resolutions, had no DOUBT 'ney
contained the truth, aud therefore could not say
one word to induce our members oil Congress 70 uc-
lieve otherwise. further protested against mr..
Claws accepting any Office under Mr.. Adams, whom
considered Federalist of the Boston stamp, ~
1898 and 1900 and thencelorward an enemy OF tne
West and gave it as my opinion that II they were
united, they would sink together"
Now we ask our readers if the editor OF the
Globe is the proper man to hold up the "coai-
ton" Of Adams and Clay to public indignat'on'
and for the purpose of incensing The country
against President Tyler, who is falsely charged
with similar political ofence7
And The Innocent and immaculate Mr. Blair
occasionally assails the Postmaster General on
the same ground, while he is aware that Mr.
Wick!ine was, at the time alluded TO, member
of Congress from Kentucky, and did all IN his
power 10 cast the vote OF the State for General
Jackson But majority of the delegation were
induced by Blair and others to close the "bar-
gain" with Mr. Adams, who, according 10 con-
tract, made Mr. Clay Secretary OF, Slate
The Mr.. White spoken of in the documents
from which we copy, was Democratic mem
Der Of Congress from Kentucky but Mr.. Blair
induced him TO support Mr.. Adams, that Mr..
Clay might, be made Secretary of State. Mr..
White has since acknowledged that he acted in
| accordance with the advice of Mr.. Blair.
Is Mr.. Blair playing the same game now?
The Clay presses have, without cause, calied
Mr.. Tyler a "traitor 10 the Wings; y and now
we the Globe daily echong the Fed raj
cry against the President, "a ii Mr.. BLAIR felt as
eager to secure the elevation OF MIR. Clay IN
1914, as he was when Mr.. C.. was conlending
against General Jackson. With the design of
going beyond the Federal Wings in vil'fcalion
of Republican President who has dared to
veto MIR. Clay's Bank bills, The Globe is now
laborng TO show that he is worse man than
ever Aaron Burr was.
Mr. Blair asserts positively, aud without re-
servaion or qualification, that President Tyler's
a. ella ms to Tie support of the Demo :racy were
never as wefounded as Burr's." 1t is true
Mr.. Tyler had no share in the "bargain and
sale" effected by Mr.. Blair, and, according TO
the Globs's id of whai Institutes mans
'claims 10 the support OF the Democracy" he
may fall below The prescribed standard Of me-
rt But his grandfather and father were Demo
Gratis, aud he was himself taught in Mr.. Jefier-
sons school of politics. We are willing 10
admit that, in 1899 and 1910, when Mr.. Clay
convinced Mr.. Wise and other friends Of Mr.,
Tyler that he would thencelorN ard be Safe
Rights -Anti-Prolective- Tariff JEFF RS MAN Re-
publican, Mr.. Tyler became his friend: but
Mr.. Tyler never abandoned Democratic prn-
ciple-snd, as soon as Mr.. Clay's dupliciiy was
discovered, he turned away from him in dis
gust
But Mr.. Blair was "a Clay man from the
start" DISAPPOINTED in getting the reward he
anticipated for cheating Gtn' raj Jackson out Of
the Presidency, he turned Jack, on man for pay,
and TO revenge himself on Mr.. Clay, who had
neglected him, and not from principle.
Add is he not now seeking TO ruin the De
mocracy, and turning to hi. first love, Mr.. Clay,
who, having received lesson at hi, hands,
will pay him better next time2 1t is uue, Mr..
Blair commences The Article from which we
have quoted, by denouncing the corrupt ''coali-
rionn between Messrs. Adams and Clay: and
that he pou,ly eYclaims " honesty is The be. I
policy, as well in public as in private sffiirs."
But now that bis agency and guilt in thai
coalition" are made manifest, we fancy hi,
over-righteous words will have but little fleet
on the community. When be uttered them, he
did not think this g n, ration would be reminded
Of his guilt.
| Mr.. Blair is the proper man-yes, Of all man
kind, he is the most proper Individual TO blacken
the character of President Tyler, by holding
up n contrast, and for the admiration of the
world, the exalted virtues and pure democracy
| Of Aaron Burr.
