Weak in defence against the charge of bargain and corruption,' upon which the people have long since tried and condemned Alr. Clay, the whgs are now seeking to avoid the force of the charge, sus- tained, as it is, by facts and circumstances which have become part of the established history of the country, by the most eentemptible subter4uges. When the charge was first revived against Mir Clay, which only slept while he claimed nothing from the people, the only reply vouchsafed by the whigs, was, that of ''sale slander;' until each day began to bring forth damnng proofs of this foul trans- action and forgotten events grew bright in the memories of men. Then, to silence all clamor and suspicion upon the subject, t broadly asserted by the Whig prints, that Gen. Jackson had written to Gen. Hamilton, withdrawal of these charges against MT. Clay and, by that evidence alone they willing to test MT. Clay's innocence. Resting their cause then upon such defence, they had no right to retreat from it, and the people will force them to abide the issue which they have made for themselves What is their situation under such cir cumstances? Gen. Jackson disayows having written such letter, and they left in the deplorabe di- lemma either of acknowledging MT Clay's guilt or of inventng, as usual, some new story with which to blind the people, the falsites of which, if possi- be, cannot be exposed until after the election. The following .'card'' from Cen. Jackson, published in the Nashville Union is conclusive upon this subject, so far as he is concerned:

 GENTLEMEN: My attention has been called to various newspaper articles referring to d let- ter said to have been written by me to Gen. Hamilton, recanting the charge made against Mr. Clay when he voted for Mr Adams in 1925.

 To put an end 10 all such rumors, feel it to be due to myself to state, that have nore- collection of ever having written such let ter, and do not believe there is letter from me to Gen. Hamilton, or any one else, that will bear such construction Of the charges brought against Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay at that time, formed my opinion as the coun- try atlarge did-from facts and circumstances that were indispuable and conclusive; and, may add, that this opinion has undergone no change.

 if Gen. Hamilton, or any one else, has letter from me on this subject, which the friends of Mr. Clay desire to be made public, all they have 10 do Is to apply to him for it. As for myself, have no secrets, and do not fear the publication of all that l have ever written on this or any other subject.

 Signed, ANDREW JACKSON.
