"RnrYnin and SnIe.n

onr readers will remember that Gen. Leslie
Coombs, IN his spec ch, in the Court House in this
place, during the last campaign declared that Gen.
Cass had written a letter to Mr.. Clay, in which
he congratulated him upon the able and trium-
phant vindcatiOn of himself in his address to his
constituents, from the false and malicious charges
Of his enemies That letter. now the campaign
is over, has been given up to Independent" the
Washington correspondent oitheNorth American,
for publication. Here it is:
DETRoT, April IA, 1925.
Dear Sir: l have jUst finished the Pc
rusal of your mastery address to your
late constituents, and | cannot refrain
from expressing to you the high satisfac-
ton it has afforded me. 1t is trium-
Phant fefutation ofthe vile SANDERS which
have beer Propa gated respecting the mo-
tives of your conduct in the peculiar cir
cumstances in which you were recently
placed. You may safely commit your
character TO the Judgment of your coun-
trymen and Of posterity. They will not
fail to- award you full justice.
81 must ask your indulgence for this
almost involuntary tribute to your claims
and services. So strong is the Impress
ion which your appeal has made upon me,
that could not restrain this expressions
ofmy feelings.
with warm regard, I am, dear sir,
sincerely yours. LEW. CASS.
"HoN. H. Clay"
The letter. it will be seen, was written soon aEL
ter MIR. Clay had made his address. We have
nothing TO say, at this time, of the motives which
influenced the writer Old Democrats and Whigs
well remember how each campaign since thas
time has been marked with charges, Rosl and
false, against the character and fame of Mr. CLAY.
How the hired editors ofthe Locoioco party have
slandered and vliiied him. Yet amid all this, he
awaited calmly the judgment of posterity, and
who dare say now that the truth of history will
not fully vindicate him2
Those ofour democratic friends, who denied
that Gen. Cass ever wrote such letter, can now
see it for themselves Not one Of the old men Of
that party can lay bis hand upon his heart and
say-"I have not done Mr.. Clay rank injustice."-
Yet how few there are, who will come ont like
men, and say-"I have been deceived by my par
ty leaders; will though late even now do Mr..
Clay Justice
But such men have sinned through ignorance.
We do not say that they are guiItess. They blind
y placed confidence in the miserable and corrupt
leaders OF their party and assisted them in SANDER
ing one of the best men of the country.
But what shall we say of the leaders themselves
the foul-mouthed prapogators of infamous slam
ders-the wful delamers of the patriots of the
country-men. who under the garb of an homes.
democracy, mslead the men OF the country and
abuse their confdencel Such men talk about
"traitors' and "treasou" They could not be
traitors without pretending to be patriots; they
could not be dishonest without pretending to be
honest they could not by any possible means, act
as they think, for deceit and treachery have full
possession and entire control of their hearts.
Posterity, too, will do them justice.
