Nor is it forgotten that MIR. Clay in re.
| ply. and just prior to the Presidential
election OF 1894, in substance said, that
the attitude in which himself and Mr..
Adams then stood Before the country
being both candidates for the Presiden-
cy.) farbade an exposition Of the Client
affair. but that at more 'auspicious' pc
Rod he would unveil tie mystery. and
show that Mr.. Adams had either not &C
ted in good faith towards the country, or
was grossly ignorant of its true inter-
ests'
That 'auspiclous period' has not yet ar
rived--no exposition has been made, him
and Mr.. Adams are or terms. personal
ly and politically, the most intimate. 1t
must be, then, that reconciliation took
place. When did it transpire? And
how was it brought about? These are
questions which the history Of the coun
try automatically answer. At the Pres
identlal election Of 1924, no choice was
made by the electoral college aud the
election deyolved on the House of Rep
resentatives. Mr. Clay was member
from Kentucky, and not only had uote
but much Influence to WELD. That vote
ana influence were thrown into the
scale OF Mr.. Adams. Notwithstanding
he had 6een requested, by a resolution
sot the Legislature of his State, to sup
port General jackson, which caused it
to preponderate in his fayor,and Mr.. All
ans forthwith appointed Mr.. Clay Sc
cretary OF State. of the q. S. The rea
der may draw his own conclusion from
The facts presented. -Lomseihe Stan,

MIR. CLAY.

Since this distinguished statesman a.
postatized and united his political for
tunes with the wing party he has been
unable to regain the confidence of the
people. He now has many jealous, en-
thusiastic and active friends promlscu-
ous,y located throughout the whole H.
mon who would make any reasonable sa
crlhce of money and labor co promote
his success in the approaching contest FOR
the Presidency; but they are as a drop to
the ocean in comparison with the whole
people. His name, though it may stand
conspicuous in the history of the nation,
is shrouded in odiam. The charge OF
bargain, intrigue, and coriuption,' pre-
ferred by the lion. Geo. Kremer, will
stick to him like Nessus' shirt. Nel-
Their himself nor his 2evotees can wipe
away the stigma Of the unnatural eooh-
tion bet geen him and Mr.. Adams
The circumstances connected with the
hole transaction, the prediction OF Mr..
Kremer and its verifca:ion, with Mr.
Claws subsequent conduct in reference
thereto. all go to rivet upon HIM the
charge as effectually as though it were
admitted by himself, and every attempt
TO extricate him from the dilema will but
serve to bury him more deeply in the
great four tain Of corruption
It has net been forgotten by the coun'
try, that Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Adams re.
turned from Client, after the treaty Of
1915. on terms the NEST forbldding, and
nersonally very hostile. And too, it i
vet green in The recollection of the peo'
! nle, that MIR. Adams wrote a book II
yindieatiea of himselfparrying the blows
aimed at him by Mr. Clay, ia which he
triumphsntly exclaimed, that his con

BANK OF THE U. STATES.

Such an institution, in the hands OF a
bold and INSCRIPTIONS political leader.
sustained by well organized political
party-by the great manufacturing inter-
est, secured in its allegiance by the boun-
ties of Protective Tariff, and even by
sovereign States, seduced by the misera
BILE delusion of giving them the proceeds
of the sales of the public lands, and as
Stunning their debts-would be literally
'more terrible than an army With BAN
ners.' dc not believe the public liberty
would long survive such combination
Mr.. .NcDu6se's Letter, Feb, 1914.
The above graphic paragraph is the
caption of one of a series of eloquent ar
ticles in the Richmond Enquirer, OH the
history of the establishment Of the u. S.
Bank, and the first formation thereupon
Of the Federal and Republican parties in
the Union. Briefas the extract is, it is
pregnant with meaning.
Ihe question of a United States Bank
is not dead nor sleeping. However much
our opponents may seek to Withdraw an
issue ON this question from the people, no
man can doubt that the establishment OF
such an institution, with an enlarged cap
ital and increased powers, and fortified
and strengthened against future contests
with the people, would be the first ACT OF
Wing ascendency. MIR. Clay has new
er ceased Tor the last thirty years to a
vow himself in favor Of such an instltu.
ton. The papers which represent his
opinions, are unhes!ating in their advo-
cacy of it. The more courageous and
the more conscientious of his followers
invite the party to take open issue upor
| it.
During the Election of 1910, with a
Presidential candidate whose opinions
were concealed from the public eye, but
whose committee when interrosatet
by the people, gave ont vague limitations
of hostility to such an institution, with :
Vice President placed in nomination be
cause he was known to the people to be
distinctly opposed to such tneasure;ane
with the concealments and denials OF tiit
y hig press, the Wing party succeeded
in dece;ying the people into the 6efie
that the Bank question was in fact with
drawn from the issues Of the contest. -
Yet the first actef that party, when j
had obtained aseendancy, in the Ma
tional Legislature, was to force through
Congress at a session called,foF that pur
pose, two consecutive bills for the es
/ Enlistment OF National Bank, the pro
visions of which were framed under tn
eye of the present Wing Candidate
Henry Clay.

Great Britain contends that, with The
rights of Spain on the northwest coast.
the United States necessarily succeeded
tc the limitations by which those rights
were defined, and the obligations under
which thew were exercised; and that. by
the above convention, all parts of the
northwestern coast of America, not al
ready occupied at that time by either of
the contracting parties. should thencefor
ward be open TO the subjects Of both, for
all purposes of commerce and settlement,
the sovereignty remaining in obeysance;
and that the convention, establishing a
new state Of things by compact, abro-
gates the pre-existing Fights if any, ap-
pertaining to Spain.
The United States have constantly
denied all this. They say that, if the
British construction of the Nootka con-
vention and of its effects were correct, it
would avail nothing; because, though
the United States might not in other re-
spects have a good title as against Spain,
they have as against Great Britain;--
which title cannot be weakened in the
hands Of the United States by the Flori-
la treaty, which quiets that of Spain.
But they deny the correctness of the
British construction. The Nootka con-
vention is, on The face of it, CONNER
clal treaty merely, wholly aside from the
question OF sovereignty and distinct ju-
risliction. 1t has definite general OBJ
ject-the regulation of the fisheries in
the Pacific and South seas. so as neither
ito exclude England nor iniure Spain. -
Ihat was the point of controversy be-
tween the two governments. The enc
mes OF peace have lnaustrlOusly cIrcu!a-
ted,' says the Count OF Florida Blanca,
That Spain extends pretensons and
rights of sovereignty over The achole Of
the South sea, as far as China;' whereas,
on the contrary, her sole aim was to vim
dictate hef sovereignty on parts of the
coast to which, by the law OF nations and
the recognition of all Europe, she had the
established possession, or right of pos

on the contrary, submitted to restrictions
of sea-rights, which existed before unre-
stricted. In answer to this Mr.. Pitt
maintained (Pml. Hist. vol xviii 100D

Report on The Oregon Question.
thanks are due Hon. VIM. TAYLOR for a
copy CT the report Of tie committee on
territories, to whom was referred the bill
'to organise Territorial Government, in
the Oregon Territory, and for other pur-
poses
Every American citizen must feel p
'ieeP interest in the termination of the
long standing and vexatious controversy
between this country and Great Britain.
upon the question of right or proprietor
ship to the Oregon Territory. This in
ferest becomes more absorbing, upos, a
review Of the history of the question:
Every intelligent observer of events must
see. that the lapse Of every succeeding
year, since the commencement of the
Joint occupancy, has Only served to aug
ment the difficulties surrounding it,
and strengthen the arm OF our opponent,
. who up to the present time, has enjoyed
an exclusive monopoly of the vast trade
of that region. 1t is true that occasion
ally some of our enterprising citizens
have gone thither to trade, but have been
compelled to abandon the enterprise by
the powerful influence Of the Hudson's
Bay Company; not being able to COM
pete with the immenee capital of that
concern. We are told by Mr.. Townsend,
who visited the Columbia valley some
two or three years ago, that when an A
merican attempted to purchase furs, buff
falo robes Or other articles, the British
company Immediately raised the prices
to twice their true value, and continued
them until the Americans could stand it
no longer and were forced to retire. -
The prices then were brought down, and
an exclusive monopoly thus secured to
the company. We mention this fact to
show that the joint occupancy. so far as
this country is concerned, is only nomi-
nal; while the other party to the con
tract are in fact enjoying exclusive oe'
eupancy.
Tie report Of Tie committee referred
to, unqualifediy asserts the exclusive
right Of the United States to the Oregon
Territory. Alter quoting the opinions
of Mr.. Monroe and Mr.. Adams, recon-
mending no. only the establishment o
a military post at or near the mouth o
the ColHmbia, bat the equipment Of ;
public ship for the exploration of thu
whole northwestern coast Of this cont
nent,' the committee say:
In the bill which we have reported, i
will be found that we have responded no
oaIy to the opinions of Mr.. Monroe ant
Mr.. Adams in relation 20 the establish
ment OF military posts, but we have adol
ted the just and proper sentiments o

PROSPECTUS
YPSlLANTI SENTINEL.

In soliciting the patronage of the public for
the proposed publication, it is due to that pub
Nc to give an outline of the views and princi-
pies by which we shall be governed. and this
duty we proceed to discharge. While we
shall endeayor to make our sheet the channel
for communicating to our readers, the intelii-
Rence usually given in public Journal, Its
character will be essentially political; and ac-
cording to tn original sense of the term, as
applicable to this government; strictly demo
cratic. We have lived sufficiently long, how.
ever. TO learn. that names are but TOO often
ilusory and deceptive, and that the arts of
impostors are seldom put in practice, except
under cover of some specions and imposing
appeIlaIion. We shall not therefore rest our
claims upon name, but invite the seyerest
scrutiny of our readers to the fidelity with
which our professions as al editor are main
tanned and practised.
AS the only legitimate object of republic
can or democratic government is the equal
protection Of the rights, and promotion of the
welfare and happiness of all ; it follows as an
irresisiable conclusion, that that administra-
ton, or system of measures which is most
conducive TO these ends, is best entitled to the
appellation of democratic. And as the only
true test, of the merit of measures or admins
teations, is 10 be found in the effects produced
On the interests and moral character of soci-
ETY., il is by this standard alone that we snail
aim to be governed in passing judgment upon
them.
