The Globe Of Saturday evening contains long
of the elections. We shall not undertake to re-
ply to the many stale caumnies it reiterates
against Mr. Clay !; but we cannot forego the re-
mark that the Globe, edited by Francis P. Blair,
should charge Mr.. Clay with forming coalition
with Mr.. Adams. After the publication of Mr.
Cay's letters to Mr.. Blair, we thought that the
most uncharitable would have been convinced OF
its utter falsity; and, indeed, candid men have
long since ceased to entertain thought SO dis
reputable to Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Adams.


But the evidence which has been produced pro
and con in the case, proves clearly that if there
was coalition, or any thing like one, that Fran
els P. Blair was principal abettor in it. The
evidence before the public proves that Mr.. Clay
was ready to sacrifice every personal considera-
tion for the good of the country but it shows at
the same time that Mr.. Blair did whatever lay in
his power to induce Mr.. Clay's friends to vote
for Mr.. Admins, and assured them at the same
time that they would thereby promote Mr.. Clay $
future prospects. 1t rests in the bosom If Mr..
Blair to say whether ne on hs individual account
approved any terms of bargain to the friends Of
Mr.. Adams-the evidence is that Mr.. Clay did not.


We repeat, therefore, that Mr.. Clay and Mr..
Adams made no bargain, as IS shown by the iden-
tical letters of Mr.. Clay to Mr.. Blar, WHICH the
propagators Of the charge had relied upon to es-
tablish it; and if any bargain was made, Mr..
Blair was principal negotiator in if.
