STRANGE nEVEI 0pAdINTi

The Madisonan has raised thccur,ain at last;
and has brought very remarkable fact before us
in the double-dealing annals Of Mr. Clay In
the Madisonian of "Wednesday evening, we are
furnished with the copy Of paragraph, fnr-
niShed by MI. ID. Webster, in his own hand
writing to Mr.. Wise in 1872, To assist him
in the war he was then waging against
Mr.. Clay, on the Cilley duel. In this para
graph, MIR. Wise is authorized TO state 'by one,
lMr Webster of course,) who saw the MS.
drausht of the act of 1888, Qhe Compromise Act
OF course before il was offered, that when Nj
Clay drew the act of 1883, and showed i, 10 his
friends in ms own handwriting, after the clause
which provides that only such duties shall be laid
as are necessary for an economical administration
of the Government after the 10Th June, 1912 the

lent; were added, TO wit And suct duties shaR

abandoning the whole Protective System after
June, 1929 Mr.. Webster's MS. goes on TO say,
after stating this clause in H. Clay's handwriting
thus: "ltmay fairly therefore be claimed, that the
