(The question was made, from whom these con fidential letters came?) Mr. Ken dall ascribes them to Mr. Clay which suggestion Mr. Blair did not deny, although he noticed it: the most he did say to the Senate was, that Mr. K.

It Mr. C. docs not call upon Mr. Blair to declare, that he had no hand in the letter or letters addressed to him, he cannot avoid being sus pected as the author, ana ot course as being acquainted with this un derstanding which his colleagues professed. This Mr. Blair is said to be the confidential friend and corres pondent of Mr. Clay. On being called upon to testify, however, he objected to being sworn on two grounds: 1st, that the Senate had no power to require it 2d, that the information he had received on the subject, and on which he made the statement to Mr. Ken dall, was contained in private communications and confidential correspondence, which the Sen ate had no right to extort from him. A majority was however obtained in favor of administering the oath to Mr. Blair, on which he peremptorily refused to be sworn, declaring that he would sooner "o to jail. He was then discharged by vote of the Senate.

Jackson by letter to join him at Lexington, and travel with him to Washington: That a few days before he set out for Washington, he told Mr. Carneal, he was wholly uncom mitted as to his vote, and wished to be left freeand a few days before the election, he told Mr. John T. Johnson that he thought the Kentucky Delegation might vote either way and Kentucky would be satisfied: That Mr. Blair declared to A mos Kendall and to Mr. J. Dud ley, that it was ascertained if Mr. A 1 1 r. . . iiaams was maue 1 resident, Mr. State; he particularly told Mr. D. that this fact had been made known by confidential letters from Washington; and that it was very desirable to prevail on Mr. White, member of Congress "to vote for invpsturntmn nm th. .ll : i i ,, . . UIIU iuuuwiug as lie lived." Jt also appears up- on the evidence of Mason, and M. Harrison, and Jesse Sumners, Ilalbert and llamrick, that on his return from Washington, Mr. T. attempted to justify his vote for Adams, upon the ground, that "we (the friends of Mr. Clay) had ascertained if Mr. Adams was made President, Mr. C. would be made Secretary of State, and that if Cen. J. was made President, Mr. C. would not be made Secre tary, and that it would be better for us to have A. with Mr. C. Sec retary, than Cen. J. without him." It appears, also, from the testi mony of James M'Millan of the II. of It. that Francis Johnson de clared that he voted for Mr. A. to get Mr. C. made Secretary of State and Mr. John Desha tes tifies, that Gen.

Ve are anxious to see the discussion on this subject com menced in Congress; from indications already siVCn, we are inclined to believe that tne bill will be totally defeated. In deed, the Washington Telegraph of the 2th ult. positively asserts that "The friends of the Administration wish to defeat the Tariff bill, and do secretly in tend, and have secretly determined to c o so." The people of the South, we doubt not, will fervently respond, "God grant us a safe deliverance" thr-v will not be displeased if thi is effected," whe ther it is done by friend or by foe, by hook or by crook.
