These facts We're Communicated 10 MI. Gay IN
the most authentic form, and several months
subsequently, AT u party given by Mr. Forsyth,
Scott and lay met, Tor ihe hrst time since tue M
tervlvw referred 10. The lormer advanced IN his
usual gracious style 10 salute Mr.. Clay, who with
us much indignation as dISury, asked hliii,
80 If he had thu assurance speak him after his
infamous conduct" Tue timely presence OF MIR.
Fofsyth prevented even a more vexattous rupture.
Through the Intervention oil nut ua friends, terms
of soclal intercourse were restored between them.
On another occasion, they met under similar CIR
cumsiances at fashionable entertainment. In
stroillng through the apartments MI. Clay entered
the card Ioom, where Scout was engaged AT whist,
III his usual iovIal and frank manner he slapped
hum pleasantly on the b tck and inquired into the
state of the game. Scott, with that atieciat'on
winch is his worst aiiicton, shrugged his Shout
ders and SAID, You hurt, Mr. Clay" An,
Scott" I'll cd Clay, - ways thought there was
-pt aboa you" dr. Clay never forgive SCOTS

, nee The bfgdAlug up OI The sell constituted
SC dynasty the elements have been al a Ioai
not knowing where 10 turn their ingenuity. Some
OF them have attempted To Seize upon Mr. Crit
tendcn's name as rasyins point, but his good
srnee has prevented any sort OF success in that
movement lis Is not, and tiI,dsr no circumstances
w'll be an aspirant To the presidency. As Mr..
Clay Will not be b ought forwa again, Mr.. Crit
tenden Drilt'ves the candidate should be taken
from somewhere else than kentucky which
State nah sutiic emily absorbed the devotion and
efforts OF tn Wing party. HIS judsm is en-
urely inclined 10 selection from the Free States,
ana lie regards Mclean the safest and most
avulable nomination He held this language at
the opening OF the session, and experience has
only confirmed his position A decided attempt
was niads TO enlist hln IN the Scout intrigue, 10

he would not snfier himself 10 be committed in
nay shape or form. Indeed, ms whole conduct
has been singulary uneXcepuonabie throughout
al thssc movements.
Another faction OF the disbanded Scott interest
inclnes 10 General Taylor, because he hap sens
10 De on Tue top-waVe OF popularity. They care
nothing a bout The man, only SO far rs he would
protpcte their personal Obj cts. But, believe,
they have got Il .shenrteneu at the impression lett
here by OIL Taylor, the Generals brother, who
married Judg; McLeau's daughter. He SAID lie
Could not be induced To allow his name TO be used
in connection with the Presidency and, at the
proper tune, would make public declaration TO
that effect, and exercise Whatever influence he
had IN iivor OF John Mclean, for he had often
heard INN say, " he would give his right hand TO
see that pure and great man President OF the
United States.''
These few struggling Scott men don't like to fall
IN with any other candidate than they can
uSe, and hence their difficulty in taking up Me Lean
ana Mangum. whose names are now spreading
like wildfre all over the country. But they will
have 10 come to II, for the people are already
forming on this organic alton. They are empha-
ticaliy the candidates OF the people and not OF the
politicans; hence their strength above all others
Mclean will so into the canvass, backed by Mr.
Clay's influence, by that of Gen. Taylor, and his
own extensive popularity and purity Of character
1t Is known IN all the political walks here that he
travelled from Michigan to his own homestead,
during the last Presidential canvass, for no other
purpose than 10 show his regard for Wing prlnci-
piles, and TO prove his devotion TO Henry Clay
Such acts will be remembered and appreciaIed
% al the Southern men there is not one who has
the same degree of WEI ht and influence with all
Sections oil the country as Mr.. Mangum of North
Carolina-honorable, liberal, tolerant and eo-
quent, he is the same man under all circum-
stances. This is the winning ticket for lS4S; so
prepare your bets. LookER-oS.
