nr The Brooklyn Eagle does not pretend 70
sustain ;,s charge that Mr.. Clay, in voting ior Mr'
Adams, apo.tatizsd from the Democratic p1.'y'
nor care ii give ut,erance to the ihcohHoEsi''ois
;,.,. hv uh;cb we have disproved It. Afl the
..od;d.,es for President in 1924 were recognized
.od bo,o,ed members Of the old Republican par
tv.: aud The only one who had proposed to break
jorn the old party lines and appoint Federailsts
r. tho biohest stations was ANDREW JACKSON
On this Ground the Pennsy lyania and New.Jtr
sev Federal,sts headed by James Buchanan,
Gsr,;t D. Wal, Peter D. Vrooul, &c. went IN for
him almost en- ncSse. WM. II. CRAWFORD, who
was the regular Democratic Caucus candidate,
was a most strenuous National Bank man; had
voted 10 rechartcr the old Bank in 1911 and aided
~ create the second Bank in l5l6. His last pub
lie letter was an able argument for the constiiu-
tionslity and necessity OF such an institution.


But the Eagle now objects that Mr.. Clay voted
ior minority candidste-for Mr.. Adams, who
had but S4 votes while Gen. Jackson had 90, OF
about third OF the whole number Bet ii this
be an objection to Mr.. Clay, with how much
greater force does it apply 10 the Van Burcn PAL
ty in Congress, who voted for FIN. II. Crapfcrd,
,rdo had not half SO many rotes as Mr.. Adams !
Certainly il il were wrong to vote in the House
for candidate who had 81 Electoral Votes, Ii
was much more culpablc to vote for one who had
but Al! Yet so voted all the Van Buren men
from this State and from other States-so voted
VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA and GEORGIA, then
represented by the pure Jefersonian Democracy
Will the Eagle explain?
