tee Mr.. Blair had also been Republican, and mas
constantly proiessed his adherence to Republican
PRINCIPLES ever since he came TO Washington. Mr.
Adams, and his father befo.e him, had uniformly ad-
hered 10 the Federal faith; and not only had MIR.
Clay combatted the Federal notions of both the
Adsmses but had just been engaged IN The most Dill
ter controversy with the younger, for whom he most
cast his vote and the vote OF hs State
That Mr. Clay acted "with view 10 the Presiden-
cy,n we have no doubt. We think his letters are a
confession Of the fact
We have waited 10 see the commentaries OF the
Globe on these letters Mr.. Blair has chosen To 70
main silent on the subject Mr. Leigh, who caused
them TO be published, is assured that their genuine
ness will not be disputed 1t cannot be alleged that
any thing has been added or omitted save the names
of certain individuals. Whether Mr.. Blair has re-
tain,d the originals, or not, We are not apprsed'
But there are other important letters behind,
which Mr. Blair should now publish, both IN justice
to himself and the Republican party. We aliude 10
the letters referred 10 in the following statements
j. DUDLEY's STATEMENT
]. Dudley Esq, a Senator from Franklin and
Owen counties, being called upon, made the fol-
lowing statement on the floor Of the Senate One
day, in January 1926, +. 7. Blair came into
the Senate Chamber, seated himself near me, and
inquired my opinion the resolution passed request

Jackson as President OF the United States. Mr.. b.
desired that would write letters requesting the MEM
bers and particularly ID. White from this district to
consult with Mr.. Clay and vote as he might desire
TO this | objected, and gave my reasons therefor
Mr. b. appeared surprised that ! should raise any
objections, particularly as was opposed to the reso
lutions. He said that number Of members OF both
houses who voted for the resolutions, had writer
such letters, and that could do it with more propr
civ He said if Mr.. White could be induced I,
vote for Mr. Adams he would obtain the vote OF hen

Washington city, containing such information that
might rely with confidence on that statement. re-
