NEW YoRK, Oct. "a, 1914.
Hon. HENRY CLAY, ASHLAND, XVI


On the fourth and fifth page Of the accompanying
pamphlet, have stated the period, and related the
circumstances under which first had the honor
OF becoming personally acquainted with you. My
name and person, no doubt, have long since passed
from your remembrance: you have, nevertheless,
long had an ardent, but unknown, adrnirer in me,
and have thought that this the fitting period
for me TO give evidence OF it.. by advocating your
elevation to the Presidency OF the Union.


The press OF the country generally, and more es.
pecisy that Of this city, has set forth that the
solution of the Presidential question, at present,
depends entirely upon this State, and copsrqutntly,
upon The result in the city Of New York Hencef
have concluded, that, as there are many Thousands
of adopted citizens in tins city. whose suffrages
may cause the balance 10 turn In favor OF your
holy cause, and whose creduliy has heretofore
been successfully practised upon by your uncon-
scientious .adversaries, a saluta'y lesson admins.
tered at this critical moment might grove beneficial
70 your cause, and consequently Of service to the
Union


Aciuated by these considerations, have pub
lished this pamphlet and distribute it gratuitousy
from my own house, In accordance with advertise
ments to that affect inserted in various American,
French and German newspapers; hundreds OF CO.
pies, indeed. have already been put in circulation
amongst those, whose cry was "folk and Dallas"
and have learned from many sources, with some
pride but more pleasure, that very many Of them
have changed their watchword to "Clay and FREE
linghuysen"


My work, certainly, is hardly worthy Of your at
tentlon; but after residence OF twenty one years
in this country, almost always 10 sorrow and dis-
gust, could not refrain from allowing myself the
pleasure, en- my seventy-frst birth day, Of telling
some bitter but wholesome truths to the people !;
and thus taking the noblest revenge on that prover
bial republican ingratitude, which is the distin-
gushing trait Of those who have basey attempted
to blacken the character of the only American, in
whom | have found all the qualities necessary to
make the Great Chief of Great Nation.
ask indulgence for the liberty l have taken,
and subscribe myself, sir,


Your most obedient
and respectful servant,
O. DE A. SAINT ANGELO.
