ing the session of Congress at which the
debate on the Seminole War took place.
he arrived in the midst OF the debate,
and after l had pronounced, but before
the publication of the first speech winch

Kentucky by General Jackson. When
they were at Lexington, the place of my
residence, l was absent on my return from
Louisiana, They called, as l afterw nlds
learned, on Mrs. Clay, at my house, and
