MR. CLAY. -g-

 Two facts are established by the supple ment to MT. Clay's defence;- ;-l. That Gen. Jackson, notwithstanding his declaration. that he spoke of the charge of bargain no where else but at hls own fireside, did, in fact, from the time that he left Washington for Tennes- see, reproach the election of Mir. Adams,in all places and companies,as having been consum- mated by bargain and corruption. No man. however bgoted and case-hardened, can res ist the evidence upon this proposition. It re- suits from its establishment, that Gen. Jack son denied what he knew to be true, namely his having spoken of the bargain at other times and places: and that in making that de- nial, he must have been influenced to deviate from the fact, by the consciousness that his conducti in imputing corruption Gbargain to his antagonists (whatever may be said of that of others) was, to the last degree improper and indelcate.

 The second fact established is, that MT. C.. had, to numerous pels lsons in various parts of the Union, before and after the meeting of Congress, avowed, in the most unqualified terms. his determination to vote against Jack son, under all possible circumstances. Ifthis fact is supported by such weight of testimO- my land some of it the testimony of enemies, ) as to render it itindisputable, it results necessa' rily, that his vote for MT. Adams cannot plau- sibly be imputed to bad motives. lift is true that he declared his utter opposition to Jack son, it follows that he was even OBLIGED to vote for MT. Adams, as MT. Crawford's friends now admit, and then admitted, that the state of MT. Crawfords health rendered 1t out of the question to make him President. 1.-The had hundred times avowed his resolu- ton not to vote for Jackson in any possible 3uncture of circumstanccs---ifh he could not vote for Crawford for reasons SO strong, that his own friends confess their sufficiency-for whom WGs he to vote but Adams? for his dis cPetion was limited to these three. Is it not aperversion of all fair reasoning, as well as a disregard of all liberal and charitable feeling, to insist that vote thus plainly required by necessity was governed by corruption? Or is it mere affectation of belief, assumed for political effect, and designed to deceive and to mislead the less instructed and more credu- lous part of community?

 Amongst the papers which compose the supplement to the Address of Henry Clay to the public, and first among them we fad the following statement: ..t.. "..

 Statement cf Wm. Sample tn letter to H.

 Clay. ,,

 On Tuesday, the 22d day of March, 1895. when Gen. Andrew Jackson was on his way from Washington City to his residence in Tennessee, he with number of the citizens of Washington, Pennsylvania, ,and of the coun- tty, were in the publick house of MT. Cham bers. in the town of West Alexandria. for the cnaNioI Of IT. w1 E. MGlauphlin was introduced to the Gene ral and after the common salutation of fshak- ing hands, MT. M Glaughin said, "Well,gen- erai, we did all we could for you here. but the rascais at Washington cheated you out of t.' To this expression. Gen. Jackson made the following reply: Indeed.my old friend, there was cheate'y and corruption, and bribery too. The Editors ofthe National Intelligencer were brlbed to suppress the publication of honest George kremer's letter." Mr.M' 'Glahghlin's introduction was at his own solicitation, ia a public house, in the presence of large and promlscuous company. Samuel Workman, Thomas Morgan, Joseph Henderson, Josiah Trensdell, William Sample, and others, were present."

 We most sincerely regret that the publica- tion of the statement of MT. Sample should o0Nc ucCOHc, ucCcSSaTy IO prove, that GeOe- ral Jackson had been in the habit of freely spreading abroad the charge of corruption a. gainst the last election of President of the U- nited States. Opposed, upon every political prlnciple-opposed, if we may so speak, in- stinctively, to the election of General Jackson to the Presidency, flor which his warmest SUD- Porters do not maintain that he is at all fitted, we have had every disposition to treat him with personal respect. We have never, per mitfed ourselves to utter a word derogatory 10 ms character as man. We have cOnduc- ted our opposition to him decoro,,sly, and with delicate regard to those relations with which it is our opinion that mere political diff ferences ought never to interfere. If we had been informed. privately, that General Jack son had uttered the language ascribed to him, we should not (khowing him at once to be over confding and passionate) have ta- taken the least notice of it. We should have pitied his delusion and pardoned the asper- sion. Nay we do so still but we cannot al- low 1t to pass wholly without remark.

 To the imputation of "bribery," the, Edit Ors of the National Intelligencer disdain to re. ply. They have lived to little purpose, if such an idle suggestion to their prejudice finds cre- dit with any man of common sense or com mon information.

 But there runs through the whole of the language imputed to Gen. Jackson cOnfus- ion of facts which lessens O,lr snrnriaa that ht
