That Mr.. Buchanan Vas the author Of the
/" Bargain and Corruption" stigma upon the
public character Of Henry Clay, il . thing
now beyond denial or dispate. Instead Of >
bargain between the friends Of Clay and
Adams, the only bargain attempted was one
which Mr.. Buchanan offered to make with
Mr.. Clay on behalf Of Gen. Jackson, and
which Mr.. Clay rejected with scorn. Mr..
Buchanan went to Mr.. Clay's boarding
place, and in the presence Of Mr.. Lstcher
suggested to Dir. Clay that II he would vote
and use his influence for Gen. jackson, Gen.
Jackson would make him Secretary Of State.
This Mr.. Clay asserted, and Mr.. Letcher oar
tiled to. Mr.. Buchasan never denied it, and
dared not.
Now the fact WAS, At the same time he had
been cheating Gen. Jackson. He desired
the General to authorize him to make such .
proposal to Mr.. Clay, representing to hin
and causing him to believe that there was nm
understanding between Clay and tAdans,
which could be defeated BY the bargain
which no proposed, - the agent Of Con.
jackson, to make between him and Clay
30 perfectly did be deceive Gen. Jackson,
that to the last the Gen. thought Mr.. BE-
chansa himself believed the charge hs nads
to him. Mr.. Clay made bic statement Of ths
real character OF the affair, which was in.

for il will be seen from the following lette'
that Buchanan mAdo . proposition 70 him

Jen. Jsckson wrote letter, from which thu
following is an extract:
"Your observation with regard to Mr.
Buchanan ars cosrect. HE SHOWED A

Bssidcs this, il 10 we'll known that Gen
Jackson appointed him Minister 70 Russia Z
got him out Of the way; and that hs wasnst
Mr.. Polk not to take him into his cabinet
for he Vas an unsound and trsachsroos man
and the result would be the overthrow .
the Democratic party and the ruin Of hi
