 THE BARGAIN BETWEEN CLAY AND AD- AMs.-The Nashville Union makes the fol- lowing brief statement, establishing conch- siYely the fact of a corrupt coalition between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, where by the former was made President and the latter obtained as a reward for his influence in bringing about such result, the appoint ment of Secretary of State
 l. "1hey who were before bitter personal and political enemies, suddenly became bosom friends. By the vote and influence of Clay, Adams was made President, and Mr. Adams, in turn, made Clay Secretary of State
 ,. The people of Kentucky were for any person but Adams, and lIr. Clay knew it. As anhonestnnan and their representative, he was bound to vote for General Jackson. What induced him to disregard these obligations Must there not have been a consideration
 }. Gen. Matcalf, one of the members from Kentucky, when he returned home to an ill., dignant constituency, stated as an excuse for voting for Adams We could not possibly get Mr. Clay in the Cabinet without voting for and electing Mr. Adams''
 4. Francis Johnson, another member, who had made speeches against Adams, said 1t was < to make Henry Clay Secretary of State"
 ,. David Trimbe--a man who had de- nounced. Adams, as an "apostate federaist. and an enemy to the West, who had offered to barter away the navigation of the Missis- sppi river to the British for mess of cod ishn-apologised for this vote, {; follows :: '' Ue distinctly ascertaiaed that 1Tr.

 6. Before the fact stated by Tfimble was '' distinctly aseertalned,o Henry Clay and all his friends professed to be < uncommitted,o D and on one occasion Gen. Metcalf remarked, "we must know somthing about how the Cabinet is to be filed" But when il was '' distinctly ascertaiaed that MT.

 :. MT. Clay was duly installed in the office of Secretary of State, an office which he termed < the line of safe precedents He regarded his succession to the Presidency after Adams, as certain; bat he was a second time dsap- pointed. He and Adams were driven from the stations which the people never intended they should occupy. The State of Kentucky, by whose vote they had acquired power, gave lorge majority against them, and the verdict of the nation was-guilty.
 .sEver since Clay's ejectment from the line of safe precedents, he has kept the country in ferment, drawing pictures of distress, and offering various schemes for relief He is still bidding-appealing, through his projects, to the yenality and selishness of voters His ambition is sleepless, and we find nothing ill his eareersince 1895 to weaken in the slight est degree the proofs of the notorious bar gain.D

THE BIBLE-NEW TESTIMONY FOR IT

THE BIBLE-NEW TESTIMONY FOR IT.
 The Rev. Charles Foster, we'll known as a writer upon ecclesiastical history and criti- cism, and who is now publishing a volume of researches made in Arabia, has recently communicated most interesting discovery in letter to Bishop Doane, of New Jersey The Bishop publishes the following extract from Mir. Fosters letter:

 The contention by which we were chosen as delegates to represent the democracy of Mississippi at Baltimore on the 27th of May, expressed by Majority of voices, their pref erence of q candidate for the Presidency of the Union. Those who composed this con- ventioa united, in sgbsebuent meeting, in favor of the immediate annexation of Texas 10 the United States. Still later, the legisla- ture of the Slate adopted resolutions of in- sttuction in favor of the immediate anneXa- tlon; and the measure was declared to be of paramount importance. This legislature was composed 10 a great extent, of the members ot the convention by which we were chosen as delegates. These resolutions passed the Senate unanimusly andthe House with butten dissenting voices; receiving the votes of all the Democratic members. The democratic press of the State has also declared in favor oi the measure with perfect unanimity; and we believe Il has not single opponent in the ranks of our democracy, whilst 1t is also sup ported by very many of the whigs. We are conscious that no one now opposed to this great measure, or who would peril its success by delay or otherwise, would receive the support of the democracy of Ms Ss 'ppi |; and under this conviction We shall act as delegates, and endcavor faithfully to carry out the will of our constituents.
 We will represent the democracy of the State in the convention. To them only are We responsible. Nor shall we be deterred from the discharge of our duty by open or secret assaults; by threats and dictation how ever bold and arrogant; Or by an unwarrant- able and presumptous interference by others out of the State between Us and our constit- uents. The great emergency requires Us fur ther to state, that we shall continue to rest the question of the remuneration of Texas upon grounds which are truly national, and we desire to select the democratic candidate for the Presidency from that section of the Union which will be asked, in a spirit of pat riotism, to unite with the South in promoting the success of this great measure. The re- annexation of Texas is not a sectional ques- ton. To tle South 1t gives peace and se- curity; to the N orth and West new and ever augmeniing home markets; whilst it appeals to the patriotism and philanthropy of the people of the whole Union; and this great national and truly American measure, and those only who sustain 1t, shall receive our cordial and undivided support
