The friends of Henry Clay have at Length
published his celebrated Blair letters. Afleral
they agree substantially with the version of them
given from memory by MIR. Kendall, and cons
quently still leave MIR. Clay as deep in The mud
as he was in the mire. We have neither time nor
room TO devote to them now A few questions
will suffice for this week. Mr. Clay says of Mr.
Adams: (" What has great weight with me, is
the decided preference which majority Of The
delegation from Ohio has for him over General
Jackson" But, MIR. Clay, what had you to do
with the "prefcrences of the Ohio delegation
You we're the representative of Kentucky; and
how DOES ii happen that you thought so much
the opinions of Ohio, whtn IN yOur o~" SIaE
Mr.. Adams did not get single cote?


Again. Mr.. Clay represents himself as per-
fectly passive in the matter, and alndcs to the
manner in which he was approached by the friend
of Messrs. Jackson, Adams, and Crawford2 b"
if he was indeed so-if be was actuated by pure
motives, and desired 10 make no bargain, but OIL!
why did he ask Mr.. Blair to write TO the Key
rrscntatlvr Of his district and "srCngtnrn n"I
in his " inrlinltion " 10 vote for MIR. AdamsY


Again. MIR. Clay says the friends Of MI
Crawford appealed to him in one way and D0s
of Gen. Jackson in another, but that the tneO"
of Mr.. Adams asked him TO &c consider serlou'g
whether the public good and his O'on future ~
terssts did not point most distinctly to the chO"
which he ought to make" How did he haPpu
to follow in the lead of his T" future Interests
voting for one who had been his bitter enemy ~
then taking Office under him?


Again He says one of his reasons for VO'D'
against Gen Jackson was, that he might by%
ing for him, give stimulus " to a "mIDD1
spirit which would " lead to the most pernI'U%
results" Why, then, did he cote for GFH""
