NE JUSTICE in the expose he then made,
and, l am sure, about that time did belieoe
there was = perfect understanding between
Adams aud Clay about the Presidency aud
the Secretary Of State. This / am sure
Of But whether ne viewed that there
was any corruption in the case or not, I
know not, but one thing l do know, that
he icished me to CONDUIT them rih their
oson ,eeapoa-tha. was, to let my friends
say If ,cas elected, uouM make Mr. Clay
.Secretary Of State This appeared to me
DEEP CoRguPTIoy, aud repelled it With
that honest Indignation as thOus ht such
corruption deserved Mr. Buchanan is q
mau of fine talents, and if he comes into
the Department Of State, will execute the
duties with ability.
l was truly astonished at some informa-
tion brough, by Mr.. A. Jackson, Jr., from
Nashville, the other day. 1t was this, that
Col Iaughlin bad vent on to Washington
bad bought an interest in the Madiso-
man, and expected to make it the organ
of the administration. This, if true, would
be one Of the most fatal steps for Col. Polk
that could be taken-it would be placing
him in the shoes Of Mr.. Tyler, and Laugh
lin travelling on with the Colonel to Wash
ington, would place Col. Polk under the
implication of takiEg him on there for
case. Common sense will at once show
the evil consequences; that must ensu-
to Col. Polk, to put himself in the At
titude of favoring Mr. yler for the success
sion. 1t would split the Democracy to
pieces, and rebound to the great injury Of
Folks administration. l have, from the
moment heard it, put my face againstis,
and hope l have checked this ineonsider-
ate movement. l hope there is no truth
in the rumor. If there is, there is less
common sense in the movers than | cal
culated upon. Let me hear from you.

Reader, here you have the whole truth
out at last, Maj. Lewis and Gen. Jackson
testifyiug. Pray, what do you now think
Of the alien squatter sovereignty candidate
"a man who caused a dark cloud to hang
over the immortal Clay until he closed his
eyes is death? Can you vote for him,
Never.
A Clay on Buchanan.
The Loco papers have been gloating
over report that = weak-headed son Of
the gallant Henry Clay was insulting tho
memory Of bis father BY supporting Buc-
hanan. THOMAS II. CLAY, the favorits
sou Of the great Statesman, has come out
in letter in which he handles the slam
derers of his father without gloves. Thos
II. Clay says:
"My father thought Buchanan ,ceak and
corrupt: wanting, as General Jackson has
it, in morui irmness. have seen no rea-
son to vary my opinion from his. Mixed
up, as be Is, in the old bargain and cor
ruption' plot, his card to the Telegraph
Newspaper in July, 1927, in which he saws
Il attempt not to give TIE words, out the
substanee,) d" Mr.. Adams has been elected
to the Presidency by Mr. Ciay's agency;
Mr.. Clay has been appointed Secretary of
State BY Mr.Adams; the people will draw
their own inferences his attempts to
prove in public speeches in 1874, in
Pennsylvania, that Mr. Polk was a better
Tariff man than Mr.. Clay, furnish such .
ddmning record of ,ceakness and corrup-
tion, that can not conceive how even any
Democrat Of the Old Line, mean jack
son Democrats, could give his support.
Who could believe, then, that any old line
Wing, any friend OF my fassr, would bs
found enlisted in his causef
Whether as author or signer of the
Ostend Manifesto, he has shown an utter
want of those statesman-like qualities which
are requisite in President Of the Uaited
States.
Look at Kansas what has produced
the state of things, now being enacted,
| there? Is not the weak and imbecile ad-
ministraticn Of Frank Pierce? Has not
James Buchanan adopted the acts of this
administration as part of his PLATFORM:
And can our abused country submit to
another such administration for four years
longer2'

HAND" What friend Of Henry Chg will
