Extraordinary Births. A la

now residing in Wolf creek town

cently from Ireland, has had five
little children at one birth! They
all died shortly after. Previous
to her leaving Ireland, this same

Seme important (and to us novel)
facts were stated. The "brown
population" (i. e. free colored
people) of Jamaica alone, are
worth property to the amount of
823,000,000. They are said to
consist of 30,000 souls. One of
them, a Dr. Dickenson, left at his

Fevers. We regret to state, that ma

vicinity are suffering under the debili
tating effects of bilious fevers, some of
which appear uider a typhus character,
and often terminate fatally in a few
days within a week, two of the white

place, have been consigned to prema

Law. The Superior Court of Law
for this county, commenced its sittings
in this placti on Monday last, Judge

saults and batteries, thefts, &.c.

conduct and opinions. We are desirous
that they should understand this subject

Gen. Jackson and Mr. Clay. Our
readers are presented in this parser with
the substance of Mr. Clay's speech at
Lexington, in reference to the proposi
tion made to Gen. Jackson. The com
ments on the specific terms of the pro
position we have omitted, n no positive
proof has appeared that Mr. Clay sanc
tioned them this must be decided be
fore a Committee of Congress, as it is
evident that the "whole truth" can only
become at in that manner Mr. Clay's
friends will not testify against him un
less upon compulsion; and there are but
few of his opponents who would volun
tarily encounter, the denunciations utter
ed in advance by Mr. Clay. There are
three other prominent features in Mr.
Clay's speech, which we will notice in
the Older in which they stand: 1st. Mr.
Clay says it can be "proved" that before
leaving Kentucky the preceding fall, he
expressed his "fixed determination not
to vote for Gen. Jackson;" hence he
could not have authorised any proposi
tions which might have been made to
him. In an address to his constituents
after the Presidential election, Mr. Clay
in attempting to justify his conduct on
that occasion, observed:
(:l found myself transformed
from a candidate before the peo
ple to an elector for the people; I
deliberate! examined the duties
incident to this new attitude, and
weighed all the facts before me
upon which my judgment was to
bo formed or reviewed. If the
eagerness of any of the heated
partisans of the respective candi
dates suggested a tardiuess in the
declaration of my intention, I be
lieved that the 'new relation in
which 1 was placed to the subject,
imposed on me an additional ob
ligation to pay some respect to
ddtcaai and decorum"
;Vn J3v uid not know tliat U,
1 "transformed," until after his arrival a
Washington City -consequently Ulert
is an evident contradiction between thjs
statement of Mr. Clay, and his asscrtio-,
that he expressed his "fixed determine
lion" previous to leaving Kentucky. Ir
addition to this, the Telegraph gives tl,
following account of Mr. Clay's conduct
nt Wochinortnn . nrPVintlS to the eleP.firm.
" ' O I "
"We state as facts, which can
be proved if Mr. Clay appeals t0
the House, that in the fall of 1C il
Tf P'.-ir n'rntn n lo.tter to Gun
Jackrori inviting him to pass ihif;
Lexington, on his way to Wash,
ington, and proposing that they
should travel together. Mr. Clay
did wait several days, expecting
Gen. Jackson's arrival atLexiiig!
ton, and expressed himself tuv
some of the General's friends to
ho tmirdi flisfinnninted that tin.
General had not arrived before he,
(Mr. C.) left there. This fact, it
is proper to state, is not derived
from Gen. Jackson himself, but it.,
icci unnn t tr i ! r i" r o t Vl O f I'O.' 1 ) I i ll: 'v.
ty of which Mr. Clay himself can-j,
not impeach. It is a fact, that
iur. Jiay, alter lie nau ascertained '
that he was net returned to the
House, did walk across Pennsyl
vania Avenue to salute Gen.
Jackson congratulated him on,
the vote which he had received,
and said that he had no doubt
that Gen. Jackson would be elec
ted by the House. It is a fact,
that Gen. Jackson, instead of invi
ting Mr. Clay to participate with
him in the cares of State, said, that
he would endeavor faithfully to
discharge the duties which would,
in that event, devolve upon him.
It is a fact, which can be proved
by witnesses now in this city,
that Mr. Clay did, afterwards call
at Gadsby's, where Gen. Jackson
then boarded; that he enquired
whether Gen. Jackson was in;
that the bar keeper went up to ;
Gen. Jackson's room to ascertain 6
whether Mr. Clay could be admit
ted; that Mr. Clay remained below
until the barkeeper returned with
an invitation from Gen. Jackson,
and then spent some time, tete-a-tete,
with the dangerous military
chieftain. It is a fact, that, in the
uicu oi luesu liiuis, nil . vyiay an- ;
thoriscd the Journal to say that
he did not call on Gen. Jackson,
exceot to leave his formal card."
With these extracts before them, our
readers will doubtless he convinced, that
Mr. Clay "labors under some extraordi- 1
nary delusion," in reference to this fact. t
Tvu r- 1 . t
sents itself, if Mr. Clay's declaration
that Gen. Jackson has been "faithless;! t
a Senator of the U. Slates," in not onuo- '
sing his nomination as Secretary eii :

present," suffering it to pass in silence, j

vainly thought he had placed Gen. j.
has been removed by Gov. Branch's
speech, published in our last paper, from
the shoulders of Gen. J. to thoe of Mr.
C. or his informant, a Senator from an
other State.
The third proposition embraces Mr.
C.'s reasons why he "did not and could
not vote. for Gen. J." these are, that
Gen. J. is "incompetent," "devoid oi
civil talents," has "trampled on the con
stitution of his country," and "violated
the principles of humanity." If Gen.
J. has in some instances trampled on the
constitution of his country and violated
the principles of humanity, which wean
not prepared to admit, his acts wen
sanctioned by the government, and par
ticularly by Mr. Adams, who not only
approved but publicly vindicated them;
consequently this objection would apply
with equal iorce to 'Mr. A. The asscr-
I"
