tho Consultation. d~svelyed upon the House OF
Representatives, OF which Mr.. Clay was not
only q member, but tho Speaker, and, as
such, naturally possessed Of great influence.
Clay. himself. could not be q candidate,
since, under the Constitution, only the
three highest, jackson, Adams, md Crawford,
could DO voted for. Between jackson and Clay,
as We have said, the relations had been strained
ever since the speech on the Seminole war. Mr..
Reed goes on to say that Clay thought Gen.
Jackson . dangerous man. and had taken
occasion, even before he left Kentucky,
to express his determination to vote for
Mr.. Adams. should the rumor prove true
that Mr.. Crawford was By illness incapa-
BILE Of performing the duties OF the great
Office for which no was q candidate. Mr.. Clay
ascertnined by n personal visit that this rumor

that the result Of the election in the House
would turn upon tho votcs Of Mr.. Clay and his
frienda He and they werc, therefore,, the subjects
of very much Interested courtesy and expressed
esteem. To use Mr.. Cfay's own words. he was
enjoying while alivo the posthumous honors
which are usually awarded to the venerated
dead or course, Mr., Clay's intentions and
those Of his friends in a short time became
known, TO the disappointment of the jackson
