"ln regard 10 the charge Of 'bargsin, intrigue
and corruption" between Clay and Adams in
1928, we do not remember to have ever seen any
defence against i, more than the mere assertion Of
its lalsehood, or the idle gra;uity Of an opinion
such as the contribution OF Garter Beverly, given
in the Times"
We extract the above from an article on
the first page of the last Democrat, which
was printed before our last paper was is.
sued. We presume after &C" read our pa.
per of Saturday, he came TO the conclusion
that this, like most of questions, has t,oo
sides, and that Carter Beverly really knew
what he was about, and that his statement
was no "idle gratuity," but that he was
moved to make it from conscientious con-
victions. Having given the origin, and
the disclaimers of the originators, of this
charge in our last, we drop the subject.
The letter of Col. Boyd was read by
the editors soon after it made its appear
ance in the Richmond Enquirer, and the
statements it contains many years since,
and we understand why il appeared in the
Richmond Enquirer, at the time it did,
Mr.. Clay was about to visit the State of
Virginia, and the election was coming on,
and this letter was prepared for the pur-
pose of operating to his prejudice and in
favor of the locofocos at the election
IOPCol. Boyd, himself, does not believe
the charge, and has, in effect said so, over
his own signature, since the publication Of
his letter.: nor does, nor can, any sensible
man, familiar with the facts, believe it.
WESTERN MANUFACTURES notice
with pleasure the establishment of Manu-
factories of different kinds in the Western
country. The Hannibal Journal of late
date notices the establishment of two Jag
ging and bale rope manufactures in the
vicinity of that place, on an extensive scale.
We are glad to see this, as it affords home
market for the labor of the farmer, and he
can convert the products of his labor into
cash on the spot, without running the risk
of shipping, with all its contingent expen-
SEES, and can attend to his business himself,
and know il is we'll done.
Mr.. w. P. Withers has recently estab.
lished bale rope mandatory in the i'm
mediate vicinity of this place, which is in
complete operation, giving the farmers of
the county market on the spot for their
hemp, at as good price as any market in
the country. There are other establish
ments of the kind in the county, which we
are glad to understand are doing fair
business.
The Cincinnati Atlas, speaking Of the
establishment Of manufactures of differ
ent kinds in the western country, very SEN
sibly remarks, "such establishments will be
very common in the West, if our Free
Trade politicians do not ruin the business
by reducing the duty on Foreign bagging
and cordage, and letting in the hemp raised
by the serfs of Russia: in that event the
business would be killed."
Will the Farmers of this country sustain
the present tariff, which, by its beneficial
operations, is giving them ready market
for their labor, and reviving the dropping
energies of the country in every branch of
trade-or will they 60 with the Free Trade
ties, and put themselves on an equal footing
with the serfs and paupers of Europe?-
These issues are now before the country,
and they will be called upon to decide be-
tween them soon. Look we'll into the
matter before you decide.
