MR. CLAY.
The following correspondence between
the Editors and Judge Brooke, will ex
plain the occasion of publishing the let
ter of February 4th, 1825, fron. Mr. Clay
’o that genil«‘man. Mr. Randolph re
cently alluded to the letter of ihe 28th
Jan., (and which was published at the
timt) in such a manner, as possibly to
leave the inference with many, that the
letter to which he alluded was one not
published—and as the contents of the let
ter of 28th Jan. were in a great degree
lorgotten, we publish that to prove the
unwarrantable nature of his deductions
from it. Learning there was a subse
quent letter, in which Mr. Clay yet more
fully described the motives that had de
termined hitn to vote for Mr. Adams,
we asked and obtained the consent of his
correapondent to publish that also. Mr.
Clay’s and Judge Brooke's Iriendship, is
e>f more than 30 yeais standing, and of
the most intimate character. During
I his long period, the most unreserved
correspondence has been kept up between

We invite tlie particular attention to
Mr. Clay’s letter of February 4th, 1825.
It satisfactorily explains his reasons fot
preferring Mr. Adams—it elucidates
the causes cf the general assitult upon
him Ijy the friends of Crawford, .lackson,
Calhoun, atid (’linton,— panics which
d isagreeing in all else—in principles and
in ulterior views, united in the single
purpose of breaking him down—an as
sault unprecedented for its virulence and
duration. Tor three years, tlic^c parties
havitiij two hundred and fifty j>resses at
( onimand, have poured upon Mr. Clay
from every town ol‘ the Union, an uninter

Dear Sir: Mr. Randolph in his speech
on Retrenchment (so called) having refer
red to Mr. Clay’s letter to you of January
28th, 1825, in the way to leave the im-
pressioo, that it was another letter that
the public harf never seen—and as that
letter, has in some degree drifted out of
public recollection, we have determined
to republish it. It is said that there was
a subsec]uent letter from Mr. Clay to you
on the same subject. If this be true,
and there is nothing in it to render its
publication indclicate, have you any *b-
jection that it should be published at the
same with the letter of the 28th ? From
what we have heard of the first letter, we
are persuaded it furnishes material proof
of the purity with which Mr, Clay
acted in the Presidential election ; and
viewing him as the most traduced and
persecuted of men, we should be happy
lo act as the humble insirumtnts of re-
t'^oving some of the prejudice of liis coun
trymen.
With great respcct,

Gentlemen : I have this moment re
ceived your note, and wish I had more
lime to answer it. As I am sure Mr.

which I never have kept a secret, and to
whie'h you allude.

Mv Dt.AU SiK : My position in regard
Presiiientiu! contest is hitdiU cii-
to il
tical, and such as to leave me ne> path on
w hich I can move without reiisuie. I have
pursued, in regard to it, the rule which
I always observe in ihe discharge of my
public duty. I have inierrogatrd mv
( onscierce as to w hat I ought to lo, and
that faithful guide tells me that I ought
lo vote for Mr. Adams. I shall fulfil its
injunctions. Mr. Crawford’s slate of
health, Sc the circumstances under which
he presents himself in the House, apj)ear
to me to be conclusive against him. A-
afiiend oflibcrty and to the permaneiir- j
of our institutions, I cannot ropscni m j
this early stage of their existence, byron-
iril)uiing to the election ol' a nii|iturv •
chieftain, to give the strongest puirar-|
ty that this Republic will m; rch in Hiej
fatal road which has cotiducu il every ()»h-

Z'-al,malignity and rivalry can invent. 1,

my purpose. What is a publicman w orth,

As to the result of the election 1 can
not speak with absolute certainly, but
there is every reason to believe that we

which 1 allude.

The Hon. F. T. Brooke.
JVa&hivglcn, 4//j Feb. 1S25.
Mv Dear Sih : I received your oblig-
injf letter of the 1st inst. Alihough my
letter, to which il is an answer, was not
intende d for publication, I would rather
lhat it sheiuld l)e published and speak for
itself, than that its conlents slif)uld appear
through the medium of Mr. liilchie’s re-
i)reseritation ejf them. W'ith regard to
its publication, you will be plej.sed to do
as you may think proper. All that 1 feel
anxious about is, that the jitiblic should
not re ceive an impression lhat it was my
inienlion that it slu>uld be published. j
My conelition at this Jiujinent is most
peculiar. 'I'he batteries of tome of the j
friends of every man who would now bi*
President, or who four or fi;dit yearh
hence would be President, are elire':te(l
against me, with only the exception of
those of Mr. Adams. Someol tlu: friends
of CJen. Jackson, Mt. Crawforei, .Mr. Cal
houn and .Mr. Clinton, with ver) dtnerent
ultimale ends, agree for the present, to
unite in assailing me. The ohjcct now
is, on the part of Mr. Crawford anel Gen.
Jackson, to drive me from the course
which my deliberate judgment points
our, and, for the future, on the part of
Mr. Calhoun, to remove me, ar> an ob
stacle to their elevation. 'I'hey all have
yet to learn my character, if they stij)-
posc it possible to make me svtrerve from
my duty by auy specics of intimidation
I or denunciation.—But I did not expect
lhat my old I'riend Ritchie would join in
the general cry. He ought to recollect
that he is struggliiig for a mar.. I lor
tl«j-counli)—he to elevate an unlortu-
natc gen'lojnan wo»-n down by disease, I
I to preserve our youthfulinstitutions frora
i the bane which has destroyed all the Re
publics of the old v^orld. I might have
I expected from the patriotism of Thomas
Ritchie that he would have sut ten
dered his personal predilections, and
joined with me in the eflort lo saveusfrum
a precedent fraught with the most perni
cious consequences. I am so far disap
pointed, I say it with moriificatton and
regret. But all attemj.'s to make me u-
nite with him—to induce ine to give up
thedcfenceofourinstitu'iotisthdt wc may
elcct a sick gentleman, who has also
been rejected by the great bejdv of tho
nation, are vain and utterly fruuless. Mr.
Ritchie ought to awake, should be him
self again, and love Rome more than
Caisar.
I observe what you kindly tell me about
the future Cabinet. Mv dear sir, I want
no office. When have I showed an avid
ity for office ? In rejecting the mission
to Russia, and the Department of W ar
under one Administration ? In reject
ing the same department, tlic mission
to England or any other foreign mission
under the succeeding Admuiistraiion ?
If Mr. Adams is elected, I know not who
will be his Cabinet. I know not wheth
er I shall be offered a place in it or not.
If there should be any oft’er, I shall de
cide upon it when it may be made accord
ing to my sense of duty. But do you not
perceive that this denunciation of me by
anticipation is a part of the common sy.s-
tem between the discordant confederates
which I have above described ? Most
certainly if an office should be oflere d to
me, under the new Administration, and
I should be induced to think that I ought
to accept It, I shall not bedeleired fi>.in
accepting it either by the denunciations
of open or secret enemies, or the hypo
crisy of pretended friends.
W'lth gn at respect,
I am failhf’y your friend,
H. CLAY.
