Upon the representatives, not only of his

Mr. Clay accepts of the office of prime minister under the imn whom he had actually made President. Yes, mv felloe citizens, it is a melancholy fac ,that Mr. lay has made Ivfr Adams President, in direct opposi tio.i to the known will ofthe American People an act of danog and desperate Uso p t":oo which is orrly exceeded by the yicldi compliance who which he received the reward of his trcachciy to his own princi Vcs, and abandonment of duty to his constituents.

which lias consigned his name to infamy. What are the conceded and undisputed facts ofthe case? If Mr. Clay had not been a candidate if he had not divided and distracted the West General Jackson; to say the least, would have received the electoral votes of Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri, thirtythree in number, making his entire vote one hundred and thirty-two, being one more than the majority ofthe whole number It is thus incontroveitiblc, that a majority of the People of the United States, and the people of fourteen states out of twenty. four which compose the Union, prcft red Gen. Jackson, not only to Mr. Adams, but to either Mr. Crawford or Mr. Adams; and that Mr. Clav with no possible hope of successs, was aow cdly the instiumcnt of preventing an election by the People, and of bringing the question into the House of Rcpiesentativts. This fact cannot be too deeply impressed. The fact is no less true, that in a single contest with Mr. Adams bc-

j lore the People of the United States, Gen

Jackson would have obtained, at least two-thirds of the electoral votes, and the vote of more than two-thirds ofthe states composing the Union. With these palpable and undeniable facts staring him in face, and a lull knowledge, that he had prevented the will of the nation from being canied into effect, Mr. Clay induceel a majority of the representatives 6l five states, against the known will of two-thirds of the People of the United States, and more than two-thirds ofthe states, to vote for John Quincy Adams.

the axe at the very root of the treee of

libertxj? What was there in the famous Burt conspiracy to equal the daring attrocity? In the case of Burr it was not pretended, that in Congress, moie than two states voted against the will of their constituents. But in this case the representatives o! 5ve states, to say nothing of Maryland, voted evidently against the

will o their constituents. In the case of Burr, he was sustained by party feelings, and a majority of the members- who voted for him went in accordmce with th st tes they represented In this case there

was no pat ty feeling to which Mr. Clay

opposition to Gen Jackson could be a3ctib d; at.d we must, therefore, set it down to his own selfish and ambitious

views, which he has suffered to prevail over the wi'l of the nconle and the honor.
