Whatever We may think 01 the un

Mr. C. has been sometimes Spoken uf
in termt, which his bitterest enemies

hot be put to rest has there been an
intricue with Mr. A. or his friends, by
which Mr.. A. trao lobe mode President.

C's ignorance of ' any propositions to
Gen Jackson iloes not imply that he
did not bavean undmtarujiin with
the successful candidate and alter all,
that is the nam point, upon which we
haveiaa yet, but circumstantial evl
dence. This circumstantial evidence
is satisfactory to the minds of many:
nut there are others who require other
circumstances to make the chain com
plete, or the disclosure of more positive'
teatttnouy. Mr. Clay himself ought to
desire the most complete investigation
of this branch of the subject And that
it mawfjbe bad, let him sea

without the aid of personal imputations.
