We have understood that it has been recently said of the Editor ofthis paper that he was Clay man in disguisc;" and that he would at once avow his sentiments did he not fear the consequence in the n jury to the paper that he only supported General Jackson through interest, &c. We can only say in reply to these charges, that they matter by whom made, or by whom repeated-TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY FALSE. The Editor of this paper has never been political friend of MT Clay-has no personal acquaintance with him; nor has he ever been politically opposed to Gen. Jack years of age) he did prefer Mir Crawford but it is also true that in 1928 (the only time he was en- titled to Presidential vote) he gave his suffrage openly and conscientiOusy to the present Chief Ma gistrate; and has uniformly since that time been his political supporter

 The politics of Mir Clay are diametricalIy oppos- ed in almost every particular to those which have uniformly been avowed and supported by the Edi- tor of this paper. On the great and leading ques- tons of the American System and Internal Improve ments by the General Government the politics of MT Clay are as different from ours as light is from darkness.

 Whilst upon this subject will once for all state, that the Editor of this paper is NO MANS His course as an Editor has never been, and will never be- that of PARTY MAN. So far this or that ad- minstration conducts itself to the honor and pros perty fthe government-so far will we support it's acts with all our humble efforts; but no farther We are not bound neck and heels to the car of any man or party; but have always advocated such measures as in our opinion would conduce to the honor and n tercst of our common country. Farther than this we will not go for any man. We have no Trea- sury pap to lose-we neither desire nor expect any office within the gift of the government we are therefore entirely disinterested, and can afford to praise where praise due or dare to censure fper- chance any thing censurable should appear. We claim to be (what we have, we trust ever been) the conductor ofan unshackled--an INDEPENDENT PRESS. Southern Adcocate
