his hand, and over which was flag with
the inscription
"Thc star s,anglcd banner, oh! long may it wave,
O'er the land Of the and the home Of The brave"
If the blush Of shame did not mantle the
cheek of the worshippers OF Mr. Clay, upon
seeing the patriotic lines which were used
as a motto, i, was because they had long
since passed the point where they could DO

beautiful of all our national melodies, the

called to various newspaper articles refer
mo to letter said to have been written by
me to Gen Hamilton, recan,lng the charge
of bargain made against Mr. Clay when he
voted for Mr. Adams in iH:!o
TO put an end to all such rumors, ieel
il to be due to myself to state, that nave
no recollection Of ever having written suc'
letter, and do not believe there Is letter
from me to Gen. Hamilton, or any one
else that will bear such a cons,rnc,lon.-
Of the charges brought against boih NJ
Adams and Mr. Clay at that time, l formed
my opinion as the country at large did
from flcts and circumstances that were
indsputabc and conclusive; and may
add that this opinion has undergone NJ
change.
If General Hamilton, or any one else
has letter from me Oh this subject" h'ci
the friends Of Mr. Clay desire TO be mad'

him for it. As for myself, | have no Sc

The Journal Of Commerce co.cudes an article on the

Some Of the measures adopted by Nr. Biliie were Of a

these, was the charter obtained from the State Of Pennsyl-
