says Mr.. McDulIie, "and am willing to
stake my humble stack of political repu-
tation upon the truth of the assertion, that
the circumstances of ihe extraordinary
coalition between Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay. furnish a strong evidence of the
abandonment Of political principle. on the
part Of Mr.. Clay. and corrupt political
bargain between him and Mr.. Adams, as
is ordinarily required in courts of Justice
10 establish the guilt of those who are
charged with the highest crime known to
the law" We can prove these charges
by the argument of Mr.. Clay's own
friends in North Carolina. Mr.. Badger,
the ex-Secretary of the Navy, and Mr..
Clsy's file leader in North Carolina. pro-
we'd them most conclusively IN the cam
pagn of 1928, and he, like Mr.. McDuflie,
then saw no way in which Mr.. Clay
could relieve himself from the condemna-
ton he so justly meriled.
We oppose Henry Clay, because he is
still the advocate of splendid govern
ment, and the most corrupt and pronigale
among all modern fcderaIisls because he
has given practical denias OF the righ. Of
the constituent body to instruct its Repre-
sentalives, because,he loves the rich, and
a! the same time notices the poor man on
ly when he wants his vote; because he
is desperate political gambler, thrice
rejected candidate for The Presidency, a
leader of factions, and a controller Of I'M
patriotic and disconnected minorties.; and
we honestly believe his election would do
more to change the true character Of our
government, then all the ,riumphs won
by federalism since that government! was
created and established.
For want Of room wAstop here. We
might go on for hours; indeed il would
take almost as much time to array al
length the various charges that might be
brought aHins, Henry Clay, as it would
to enuih vVale the languages syilabed al
Babel.-Let the people ponder these
things, and decide for themselves, for
their country, and for posterlty.
