You have already injured II. Clay enough by
writing his lite your maudn attempt at u de-
fence, will hardly atone for the past

unhappy le refer him to the Campaign Demo-
crat OF May lst lnst. He has turned my indlg-
nadon into pity which causes me more in sor-
ROW than in anger to commend you 10 pint Of
