The vexed question is settled. The surmises,

friend and tavorlte, Francis Preston Blair-who
was the early friend OF Henry Clay, the present
friend of Colonel Thomas Hart Benton, and the
relation OF both Is, perhaps, the worst whipped and
the worst disappointed man that has ever been
known in this removed City of Washington.
