MORE BARGAIN INTRIGUE SALE
AND CORRUPTION.

Our ocofoco friends IN their utter despair
of success by an open fair and honest appeal
10 the sober judgement of the Country, are
trying to revive the thrice exploded
SANDER against MIR. Clay about the bargain
and intrigue with Mr.. Adams ia 1928. II
the country felt suficien, interest IN any
thing connected with Mr.. Polk to institute
a strict inquiry into all The facts attending
his mysterious nomination Tor The Presidcn'
cy, there is good reason to believe tina, al
series Of bargains and intrigues would be
brought to light, far overshadowing anything
ever alledgcd against Mr.. Clay by the
widest vagaries of locofocoism. What Sc.
ere, pledges were made to the friends Of
Van Buren,, Johnson and Cass to secure
their unanimously! support Of Mr.. Polk?
What "Jargain'' was made with the fanatic
opponents of Texas annexation a. the north
to secure their jealous support of immediate
