Ilk. Clay and the Cilley Duel.
The cruel butchery of Mr. Olney,
member of Coitgreis from Maine, and
the inhuman proceedings of those con
cerned in that fatal , duel, are yet , fresh
in the meinory of as all. The thrill of
horror which it occasioned has scarcely
subsided, and the blush of shame which
was the sensation of every American is
still mantling the cheek. - Thus coolly,
deliberately, and with malice afore
thought to shoot down a felloW-being,
thereby hurrying him' into the untried
realities of etdnity, leaving in hopeless
sorrow an. aflectionate wife, and orphan
children, wasindeedan instance q Cru
elty thatinight shock the heart even of
a savage. It was muder, foul and un
mitigated murder. !true •it_ is, that it
was by the band of Mr: Graves of Ken
tucky, that Mr. Cilley was shot, but
that others were equally implicated, has
never beenquestioned, and amobethem
is Mr. Clay. Mr. Wise of Virginia,
who was one of the seconds of MT.
Graves has never hesitated to 'say that
it was Mr. Clay'sladvice differing from
' his own, whiCh produced the duel. He
made a publication in 1842, in which
he makes the followilig distinct allega
tions when asked, why Mr: Graves re.
quired of Mr.. Cilley to put his verbal
recins for not accepting Webb's Chal
lenge in writing, he had invariably an
swered, that he ('Wise) "had diffgred
with Mr. Mr. Graves on.the point' s but
that he (Graves) was fortified in his
opinion on tilt point by the better-coun
sel of Mr. play." Again "Mr. Claj,"
says Mr. Wise, " drew the form ofthe
challengithith MI own hand." 0.1,"
says Mr.. Wise, "opposed,butlfr. Clay
AtTROVED of the ad:ption of the TERNS,
' that is to fight with rifles at ,eighty pa
ces. . Again Mr. Wise says, "In de
fence of the course pursued by Mr.
Graves, I neverfailed to quote the au
tholrity of the advice of his friend Mr.
Clay." Again,says Mr. W., " I have
said - that Mr.. "Graves Ought his (Mr.
Clay's) advice a/ the very beginningot
his Correspondence with Mr Cilley ;
that his (Mr. advicewas

John Quin'O,y Adams on the floor of
the flontic; : : called Mr. Wise a murder
er, more gttilty of the blood of Cilley,
"than the man who pulled the trigger."
it now appears. that the man who pulled
the trig,ger, *as acting according- to the
advice of Mr. Clay, and contrary to
that of Mr.' Wise. - Notwithstanding
the, in3plication of Mr. Wise in this
tragedy, a Whig Senate, has recently
confirmed his memination as Minister
to Brazil, the reward for conspiring to
produce the death of Cilley; a fearless
-champion of democracy. ,

dated Feb. 28th 1842, imkicates him

This proof is conclusive, that if he
who advises andmakes all preliminary
arrangements to shoot another, is worse
than he who pulls the trigger, then is
Mr. Clay as deeply implicated as Mr.
Graves in the murder of Mr. Citley.
Mr.. Graves relied almost entirely on
the advice of his colleague Mr. Clay.—

FRACAS IN CCNORESS:--4 most dis
crraceful scene occurred in the House of

The.federat papers are not Oiaposeti to
deny fact, milt the official returns
still s tring theinln the face, but they,
account . for Mr. , . Markle's defeat upon
the, ground that lie was only nominated
at the el&enth halo to " add strength to

lowest of all the 'Candidates in the coon
ty, but run considerably below the rest
of the Whig 'ticket in hie
_own town
ship ! , - •
It appears, however, that the election
- of 1838 was not the first demonstration
of Mr. Markle's local unpopularity.—
We observe by . the Greensburg Repub.
Heart and the Argus of last week, that
as early as 1820, Gen. ,Markle was a
candidate in Weitmorelan s d county for
the State" . Legislature, on a ticket with
lirca.tan COuvrna, in-opposition to the
regular nominees of the Democratic par-,
ty. Mr.' Coulter was elected, but Mar
kle running several hundred 'votes be
hind his ticket was defeated If the
services rendered by Mr. M. in behalf
of his country were of the resplendent
character represented by the federal
press now, it is a fair presumption, that
they would have met with a proper ap
preciation at. the hands of his fellow
citizens then, - when they would have
been fresh and vivid in their recollec
tion'. The unequivocal condemnation
pronounced by his immediate '46,0-
bort; upon his political aspirations at
that early period, and repeated with"ad
ditional emphasis since, affords strong
presumptive proof that these' services
are either.grossly exaggerated for poll-
tical effect, or were never rendered.— j
It is, at all events, pre-supposing a de
plorable deficiency of preceptive faculty
on the part of the people, to assume
that they will , elevate to the Chief Mag
istracy of the 'State an individual who
has been pronounced by' the recorded
verdict of his own county, unqualified
either for a seat in the State Legislature
or in Congress ! This would imply a,
t•retrogade . policy," to which theywill
1 1 never yield their assent." k
Aside.from these undeniable pioofs
Gen. Markle's want -of popularity at
home; we have, recently received letters
from the, most reliable sources, which
assure us that a similar sentence of
condemnation awaits his Gubernatorial
pretensions next October. Mr. Mun-
LEIVMMG will rally the entire strength
of the Democracy lot old Westmoreland,
and Mr..Markle,is destined to his usu
al home disaster."
