That during the Session OF Congress IN lS2i-3,

test as Mr.. Clay knew, and believe every body
else who was acquainted with me.
think this was in the month OF January OF
that year, or The latter part of the preceding
month, December. Mr. Clay, in the course of
conversation, said to me, that he had called on
Mr. Crawford, as soon as he arrived in the city,
TO satisfy himself and I've his own Judge as 10 the
state o. his health; and that he was thoroughly
convinced, from seeing him, that il would not do
10 elect him; that his health was so bad. he could
not discharge the duties of the office il he were
elected.
He then went on 10 state in the course of that
conversation. and think nearly in these words;

In October 1924, (Ne day is not recollected,
visited Frankfort, Kentucky, and was in attend,

dates Mr.. Clay replied, that his friends N that
State had il in contemplation, il il were praclea-
bic, 10 unite with the friends OF Mr.. Crawford,
and divide the votes between himself and Craw-
ford. OF The success of Ibis project he spoke

Sir Mr. Clay, in his address 10 the puJlic, has
done me the honor TO mention my name in The
following manner at can scarcely be doubted
that General Call was well acquainted with Gc-
neral Jacksons views and expectations At a
tavern at Rockville, in MARYLAND, about fifteen
miles from this city, during that same Journey,
General Call and several other gentlemen en-
gagged in conversation about the Presidential
election. John Braddock, Esq Ga gentleman not
known 10 me, but who, understand is a mer-
chant of great responsibility, was present; and
he states, that "when the vote which Mr. CLAY
would probably give was spoken of General
Call declared that the friends of General Jack
son did not expect Mr. Clay 10 vote for him. and
il he did so. il would be an act of dupcy on
his part"
have no knowledge OF the person on whose
authority Mr.. Clay has made this statement, nei-
Their do recolcct, or believe that ever made
the remark attributed 10 me, on that OCCASION; on
The contrary, am confident that The assertion is
without the least foundation. Rockville. under
stand. is the name Of The village at Montgomery
Courthouse. Maryland. My travelling compan-
ions, when arrived al that place, in 1921 were
Mcssrs. John T. Johnson, of Kentucky. Stewart,
of Pennsylvania. and Ninton, Of Ohio; the last
two gentlemen were, and, believe, are still. the
personal and political friends Of Mr. CLAY, and
call upon them 10 state, whether they heard me
at Rockville, or at any other place, make use of
the language mentioned By Mr. Clay. With
those gentlemen | associated on terms of intima-
cy; we had been travelling companions from
Cumberland, where I had left General Jackson,
and our conversations were INDUCED with unre-
served freedom. They had much better oppor-
tnnily of learning my opinions on any subject
than the strange gentleman on whose authority
Mr.. Clay had rested; aud am convinced that
neithc: of them will say The statement is true
In addition TO my wan, Of recollection of having
made the remarks ascribed TO me, l have other
and stronger reasons for believing that did not
do So
l arrived at Rockville on Sunday, the day pre-
cedinS the meeting OF Congress- at that time the
result Of the election in Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
sour, and Louisiana, where the friends of Mr..
Clay claimed majority, was unknown. and il

But "A her brow so r',e, 50 lar,

Her boy was standing by her Size,
And gaZing N her. wondered why
The tears she sought in vain TO hide,
Were gathering in ner dark blue eye.
.Mv ,a.l ne one at length she aid,
s'Oh kneel with me and pray, to Heaven,
Thy feet by angels may be led
In paths which lead TO sins forgiven
And when both strength and power are thine
Let no revenge thy bosom know;
Tor God hath said, 'reverge Is mine,
His Justice, sure, will strike the blow"
Her words were choked with scaldiDg tears,
Her bosom throbbed with wild despair;
Such wrongs as hers, the balm of years
Alone can learn the heart 10 bear.
That wretched one was once the bride
OF him, the noble and the brave;-
The murderer snatched him from her side,
And now she kneels on Cilleys grave
Blu. lei those men whose hands are red
With Cilley's blood pause ere they dare
With their unhallowed feet 10 tread
New England's soil, or breathe her air.
