 charge first put forth, through Mr. Geo. Krcmer. I will be universally admitted that the accusation is of serious nature. Hardly any atrocious could be preferred against representative Of the peo pie in his official character The charge in substance Is, that deliberate propositions of bargain were made by my Congressional friends collectively through authorised and distinguished member of Congress, to Gen. Jackson; that their object was, by these "means of bargain and corruption" to exclude Mir. Adams from the Department of State, secure my promotion to office; and that privy and asented to these propositions, and o the employment of those means.

 Such being the accusation and the prosecutor, and the issue between us, have now right to expect that he will substantae his charges by the exhibition of satisfactory evidence. In that event. there is no punishment which would exceed the measure of my offence. In the opposite event. what ought to be the Judgment of the Amerlcan public, is cheerfuly sub mitted to their wisdom and justice. H. CLAY.

 Lexington, 29th June, 1897.

 Some few ofour readers nave expressed little dis satisfaction at publishing much upon the Presi- dentia Question; but if must publish, they have expressed desire know what is said by the or position prints upon the subject. For the benefit of those who may have curiosity enough to read the spir ited productions of Jackson editorial friends we l this week copy from the National Inteigencer tho following article, copied into that paper with suita- bic remarks, from the Baltimore Republican, a lead- ing paper in opposition to the Administration. Our friend of the Hartford Times begins to speak out like man and when he shall have attained to the full stature of an opposition editor, like his Baltimore brother we will copy certain of his spirited pieces - until then he excuse us for passing them by in | apparent silence.

 As some little excuse,f indeed to offer any excuse for would not be insulting to our readers for occasionally occupying column of our paper up- on the subject of the presidency, offer the follow ing letter from the venerable Wm. Plumer formerly | the republican Governor of New Hamsphre, address sed to the editor of paper, lately established in Portsmouth, N. H. However our readers may feel relative to National politics, cannot calmly view the political "signs of the tmes without attempting to add mite to the of National peace and pros- perity--we cannot look upon the course which the opposition prints have recently taken, without feelings of alarm well as of abhor renee. We have leading politicians in this state, many of them sharing in the honors and emoluments of office, who, we know, are violent enemies to the administration, and who have even predicted that Jackson will get at least half of
