Clay's s Bargain with Adams.
icolartiliv FROM tan i'AGE.3
• µWaserawrox, Jan. 2b,1826.
"Dear sir :—I take r up_iny g pen to inform
you of one of the most disgraceful transactions
that ever emitted• with infamy the republican
ranks. 'Weald you believe that men professing
denwen z eY Pallid be found base enough to lay
the axe at the very root of the teee of liberty
Yet. stomp as it is, it is not less true: To
giie you a full historyofthistransaction would
far exceed the limits of a letter. I shall, there
fore, at once proceed to give rim abrief account
of such a bargain ss can only be equalled by
the famous Burr conspiracy •of ISOFor
some time past the - friends of (lay have hinted
that they, like the Swiss, would fight for those
who would pay best. Overtures were said-te
hive been made by the friends of Adatns to the
friends of Clay, offering him the appointment
of Secretary of State for his aid to elect Adams.
And the friends of Clay gave this information
to the friends of Jackson, and hinted that if the
friends of Jackson road offer the same price,
they would 'lose with them. But none of the
fnends of Jackson would descend to 'such mean
barter and sale. It was not believed by any of
the friends of Jackson that this contract would
be ratified by the members from the states why
have voted for Mr. I was or opinion,
when I fast lieardnf this transaction, that men
professing any honorable principle could not,
nor would not be transferred like the planter
does his negroes, or the farmer his team and
horses. No alarm wars, axciisd—we believed
the republic was safe. The nation having de
livered Jackson into the hands of Congress,
backed by a large majority of their votes, there
was, en my mind,no doubt that congress would
respond to the will of the nation, by electing
the individual they had declared to be their
choice. Contrary to this expectation, it is now
ascertained to a certainty that Henry Clay has
transferred his interest to John Quincy Adams.
Ass consideration of this abandonment of duty
to his constituents, it is said and believed,
should this unholy coalition prevail, Clay is to
be appointed Secrdary of State. I have no
fears on my mind—l am clearly of opinion we
•shalldefeat every combination. The force of
public opinion must prevail, or theme is an end
to LIBTATT:'
Ir. Clay's Card.
It was impossible for Mr. Clay to
remain silent under a public accusation
like this. The , notice which he chose
to take of it was every way character
istic of the man. On Monday, Jan. 31-.
1825, he sent the Nationakintelligen
cer, the following card: .
"A Csan.—l have seen, without any other
emotion than that of ineffable contempt, the
abuse, which has been poured upon me by a
scurrilous paper, iasueri in this city, and .by
other kindred prints and persons; in regard to
the Presidential - election. The editor of one of
those prints, ushered forth in Philadelphia,!
called the Columbian Observer, for which I do
not subscribe, and which.' have not ordered,
has had the impudence to transmit to me. his
vile paper of the 25th instant. In that num
ber is insetted a letter purpOrting to have been
written from this city, an the 28th inst., by a
*member of the House of Representatives, be
longing to the Pennsylvania delegation.

• Mr. Kremer's Card,
In response to Mr. Clay's card, the
'Hon. George Kremer, of the Pennsyl
vania delegation, avowed himself as the
author of the letter to the Columbian
Observer. His card was published in'
the National Intelligencer, on the 3d of
February, es follows :
- AivoTass-CAno.---Geerge Kremer, of the
House of Representatives, tenders his respects
to the honorable " H. Clay," and informs him
by a reference to the editor of the, Columbian
Observer, he may ascertain the name of the
writer of a letter of the 25th nit., which, it
seems has afforded so much concern to " Clay."
In the mean time, George Kremer - bolds him-
self ready to prove to the 'satisfaction of Imre.*
judiced minds, enough to satisfy them of the
statements which are contained in that% letter,
to the extent that they concern the course of
"H.. Clay.". Being a •Representative of the
people, he will not fear to " cry aloud and spare
not, when their rights and privileges are at
stake."-
Clay's Appeal to the .Iloau.
Did Mr. Clay abide by his own card?
Did he attempt to call Mr. Kremer to
that account which be had said he wo'd?
Did he continue to think that his duel
ling pistols Were the best means by
which he could establish his innocence?
No. A House of Representatives was
. then in session, of which Mr. Clay
was speaker—a house which was pre
pared to make Mr. Adams President—
s Rouse which, did make Mr. Adams
President on the ensuing 9th of Febru
sly, and' which, on the 21st of Februa
ry, by a vote of more than two tootle,
appointed Gales Sr. Seaton, the•editors
of the National Intelligencer, and the
friends of Mr. Clay, to be their print
ers. This was the tribunal to which
Mr. Clay• chose now to carry the affair.
After the morning business was trans
acted, on the 3d of February,,,Mr. Clay
rose from his place in the 'Speaker's
chair, and called the attention of the
House to the note of. Mr. Kremer, in
the morning's Intelligencer, and' after
- some grave observations about the se
rious character of the 'charges which
bad been made egitinst him, he demand
. ed with the earnest air of offended in
,nocence that the House should appoint
a committee to investigate the truth of
those eberges. - That is. be asked the

A etamosietee was moved tor, to,wbieli
should be referred Mr. Clay's appeal.
sod Mr. Kremer's letter.
. A minority, of the Rouse resisted the
appointment of such a conunittes, on
the potted that the Roues would there
by erect itself into a tribunal Unknown'
to the constitution, and dangerous 'to
the freedom of the press;' that. the af
fair between Mr. Kremer and Mr. Clay
was purely a personal matter • that
Mr.`Clay himself had contemplated it
as a personal matter, and had declared
in his card that he would hold the wri
ter of the letter, a , whoever hemightbe,
responsible, not to the House .over
which he presided, but to the laws of
HOSOF! ; that there had been - no breach
of the privileges of the Houie, or, if,
there had , been; as was said" by. Mr.
McDuffie, of South Carolina. -it was
not by Mr. Kremer's letter, but by the
card of Mr. Clay, which was a public
challenge, by the Speaker, to a mem
ber of the House.
When the minority saw that. Mr.
Clay's friends had determined to ap
point a committee, in order, if' possible,
to prevent its proceeding from being
Mere mockery, they moved that the
corommittee, should be instructed to
inquire into the truth of each specific
charge in Kremer's letter, and ehOuld
be authorized to send for persona and
papers. The friends of Clay showed
that they: were opposed to 'a thorn'-in
vestigation, by refusing to adopt this
proposition. They simply referred
the matter to a partizan committee,
without authority and without instruc
tions, and at full liberty to pursue such
course as should seem to them most
likely
,to. promote the interests of Mr.
Clay. ' ,
'
Mr. Kremer, of course, refused to
appear before this one-sided commit
tee. The committee so reported, and
the House let the matter drop.
The Consummation.
The election came on, on the 9th of
February, twelve days after Mr. ISTe
mer's letter was published in the Ca
lumbian Observer ; and, precisely as
that letter had predicted, Mr, Clay and
his friends gave their votes to Mr. Ad
ams. To use'again the eloquent lan
guage of another, he broke the, Cripple
cord of honor, principle, and duty.—
Ile abandoned his principles, deceived
Ohio, betrayed Kentucky; and sold the
West to her ancient enemy. He voted
for one whom be denounced as one of
the basest of his race, a dangerous pol
itician, and a -vindictive man. He vo
ted for one, of the cabinet, whom it
was 'avowed to be thefirst object of his
friends to defeat. He voted for one
whom he had taught Kentucky to hate,
and against one whom she bad called
on him, almost by acclamation, to sup
port.
In the election by the House, Mr.
Adams, in addition to the votes of the
seven-Stateawhich had originally sup
ported him, received the votes of Mary
land; Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Louisiania. The votes
of the last five of these States were in
the hands of Mr. Clay, because they
were represented in the , House by his
personal friends. Illinois had but one
Representative ; Missouri but one; and,
of the Lonisiania delegation, but two
out of the three were friendly to Clay.
Thus is happened that FOUR MEN,
following the dictates of Henry Clay,
disposed of the votes of THREE
STATES, which, in the election by
the House, balanced the votes of the
great States of Pennsylvania, Virginia
and' North Carolina, each of which
voted against Mr. Adams. Truly did
Mr. Kremer announce 4 , that men pro
fessing democracy, could be found base
enough to lay the axe at the very root
of the tree of liberty !"
As - soon as Mr. Adams was inaugur
ated, he appointed Clay his Secretary
Of State, and thus was completed every
reenisition of the foul bargain with
which he stood charged.
Proceeding of the Senate on Clay's itemi
sation.
The appointment of Mr. Clay was
not confirmed by tae Senate without a
strenuous opposition on r the part of
those Senators Who best understood
the means by which that appointment
had been obtained. The followiog is
an extract from a speech made upon
that aecason by Gov. Branch of North
Carolina :—See Niles'„Register, vol:
33, p. 22. •
"Has it come to this, that nothing but proof
positive of corruption will justify the Senate in
arresting an appointment! If so, we are more
degenerate than I had imagined. What are
the facts of this case, as generally admitted to
be true, to which we are not at liberty to turn
ft deaf earl We see two political opponents,
neither having confidence in the other, at a crit
ical- moment, when the loaves and fishes am
to be divided. the one, in opposition to the well
ascertained wishes of the people of his state,

the one is enabled to grasp the Presidential
chair, in violation of the sovereignty of the pea
pie, with a salary of 1625,000 per year, and the
Senate of the United States is called upon to
aid this President, thus msde,,to confer on the
other State department, with sidle", of saooo,
and thereby making him heir apparent to
the Presidency."
The vote - upon the confirmation
stood 27 for it, to 14 against it. This
was an opposition. at that time. entire

The excuse Which Clay. first laid be
fore the public; for his' bold and sheltie
less coalition with Adams, app eared in
the form of a letter to one of his friends
in Virginia. This letter was written
twelve days before the election, but was
not published until idler the election.—
By a singular coincidence, it is dated on
the very day on 'which the publication
of Mr. Kremer's letter first published
the coalition to the world' It has every
appearance of having been written, just
after the bargain was concluded, and
While Clay was yet agitated by those
fears likely to beset_a man about to en
ter upon a dark career of treachery and
allame. We give the letter entire, as
found in the 27th volume of Niles' Re
gister, at the - 886th page :
"Wainmerron, 28th Jan., 1825.
"My dear sir—My positionsin regard to the
Presidential contest is highly critical, and such
as to leave me no path on which I' an move
without censure. I have pursued, in regard to
it, the rule which I always observe in the die-
charge of my duty : . I have interrogated my
:conscience as to what I ought to do, and that
faithful guide tells me that I ought
vote for Mr. Adams. I shall fulfil its in
junctions. Mr. Crawford's state of health, and
the circumstances. under which he presents
himself to the house, appear to me to be con
clusive against him. Asa friend of liberty and
the permanence of our free institutions, I can
not consent at this early stage of their existence
by contributing to the election of a military
cheiflain, to give the' strongest guaranty that
this' epublic will march in the fatal road which
had conducted every other republic to ruin.—
I owe to our friendship this frank exposition, of
my intentions. I am, and shall continue to be
assailed by all the abuse which partizan zeal,
malignity 'and rivalry can invent. I shall
view,
without emotien, these effusions of ma
lice, and remain unshaken in my my purpose.
Whatis a public man worth, if he will not ex
pose Idinself, on fit occasions, for the good of
his country ?
As to the result of the election, I cannot
speak with absolute certainty ; but there is eve
ry reason to believe that we shall avoid the
dangerous precedent to which I allude.
Be pleased to give my respects to Mr —,
and believe me always your cordial friend.
H. CLAY.
The honorable P. Brooks."
Yes, it is ;here shown that Clay al
ready felt the premonitory admonitions
of conscious guilt. He anticipates the
indignation of an insulted people, and he
calls the assaults which he so naturally
expected, the "effusions of malice."—
He Adds, ,that he " shall view " these
effusions " without emotion ;" yet as we
have, only. three days after viting this
letter, on the 41st of the month, he sent
a card to the National Intelligencer, la
den with the emotions of a bully and a
duellist 1
Clay's horror of Military Chieftain.
The sole season which he assigns to
Judge Brooke, for his contemplated vote
is, that Jackson was a "'military chief
tain in this early state of its existence."
W,hat miserable hypocrisy, and ohl
wretched folly was this ? Had Mr.
Clay, in this moment of madness, for
gotten the immortal name of Washing.
ton ? Did he imagine that the American
people had ceased to remember that it
that it was a brave and successful " mi
litaiy chieftain•" who had been their
first President ? Did he vainly hope
that he could make any free born citi
zen believe that it was a stain upon a
man's character, and _a disqualification
for office, that he had perilled his life in
defence of his country, and had led bis
countrymen to victory and to glory ?
Clay's allusion to his andante.
Mr. Clay pretends to the Judge Brooke
that he had " interrogated his con
science " as to what he " ought to do,"
and that, that told him he " ought to
vote for Wt. Adams." Did it all tell,
him, that he ought to set the will of the
the people at defiance, ?abandon his re
publican associations, give the lie to all
his past professions, strike hands with
his bitter enemy, and betray the west to
an apostate eastern federalist, who had
offered to barter 4s dearest interest to
the British d This tale about his con
science was monstrous for belief, even
at that day ; and certainly, it will do at
this day, to talk about the conscience of
that man who penned the challenge that
brought the lamented Cilley to an un
timely grave.
Clay's pretended patriotism.
Affecting a spirit of self sacrifice, of
whichle has never yet given a single
example; Mr. Clay ,asps, .« what is a
public man worth, if he will not expose
himself on fit occasions, for the , good of
his country V' 'When, we ask, has Mr.
Clay ever exposed himself for the good
of /his country? Had he, like Andrew
Jackson, bared his breast to the deadly
battle field ? Had he ventured his for
tune ? Had he submitted to the least
degree of privation and hardship ? No,
his life had been whiled away, amid the
luxuries of office. He had - ever reclin
ed -Upon the silken couch of political
power, and the ver act which he was
then endeavoring to. excuse, , was but a,
selfish attempt to trim his sails, s od
as to catch the breeze which might waft
him onward to the goat of his ambition.
Clay's Address to his continents.
The awakening wrath of au offended
people, beginning to. press-heavily upon
him. Clay eavr fit, on this 26th March,
1825, to issue, in his own defence, an
" Address. to his cOnstituente." ' The
address occupies 16 printed columns of
Niles' Register. In all the wordy length
of this slabsrgipdormrneM, strange as it
may appear, he gives but two reasons
for his vote against Jackson : Ist, that
Jackson, 1131 ainire military chieftain,
wainafinavemitatentinailebtittelbei
Various. 'nitric' atnand:conitilez OA* of
the office - of Chief ''Magaitratii la his
competitor;" and 24, that, by voilegfor
Adams, he would conform 'to the Wishes
of the Ohio delegation. The first rea
son given in the letter to Brooke : the .
last, though it was all he hail been able
to add ~,to his .defence, in the space of
two months, is too palpably Woe to
have the weight of a-feather in Mr. C.'s
favor, for, as wall we have before shown.
Mi. Clay's friends in Ohio, in the ad
dress of their State . Convention, in July,
1824, had .solemnly declared that the
election of Mr. Adams was the "event
which it was the first object of the
friends of Mr Clay .PR:gPENT.'!--
Any man who knows John Stone, John
C. Wright. Joseph ranee and Morde
cai Bartley, the men who were then
the leaders of "the Ohio delegation,".
knows that Clay never conformed- to
their wishls, but that they conformed to
the wishes of Clay. If the wings of
this day can believe that Henry Clay
followed the lead of John Sloane, upon
the most important question be was ever
celled upon ,to decide, and that, in viola
tion of the instructions, almost unani
mously given him by the Legislature of
Kentucky, it is plain That they must be
lieve Sloane the greater man of the two.
and.we would humbly advise them,fin that
case, to drop Clay and take up Sloane as
the candidate under whom they will
meet defeat in the ensuing election.,
Thi object of thecoatitton•
Even of there was not one particle of
pdsitive testimony upon the subject, it
would still remain as clear as the noon
day sun, that Mr. Clay made Adams
President for the sake of obtaining the
office of Secretary of State, and securing
the succession to theeresidency. The
ease proves itself. " Am I asked for
the proof?" said Mr. McDuffie, in the
House . of Representatives. "I answer,
that if circumstantial evidence be not re
'ected as inadmissible, it is full and stis-
factory. Hear it ! He gives the vote
of his State in opposition to his own
principles--against the will of that State
—and thereby make's the President;—
and then has the frontless, shameless
audacity, to set public opinion at defi
ance, by instantly obi openly receiving,
as the highest reward of his treachery to
the people, and to his own principles,
the highest office that President could
confer. upon him ! Can any thing be
more plain ? - It is the commofrcase, of
a sale in the market overt; and none but
a man of most consumate boldness and
effrontery could hold up his head in so
ciety after such a transaction."
Them is abundant evidence, however,
of the most positive character, to show
why the vote of Kentucky was given to
Adams.
Gen. Metcalf, one of the members
from Kentucky, when he returned to his
constituency, after the election,
.stated
as an excuse for voting for Adams, ••We
could not possibly get Clay into the ca
binet without voting for and electing
Adams."
Francis Johnson, another Kentucky.
member, said, after his return from
Washington, "that he voted for Adams
to get Clay made Secretary of State."
David Trimble, another. Kentucky
member, apologized for his vote b) say
ing, " We ascertained that Adams would
make Clay Secretary of State, and Jack
son would not."
" David White, another of the Me. ,
gation, declared " I voted for Adams to
promote Cla i 's future prospects for the
Presidency .
John J. Crittenden, the same who is
now in the Senate of the United States,
was then, as now, probably the most in
timate of Clay's friends. The following
is an,extract from a letter, from Crittent
den to David White at ashington, da
ted
"FRANKFORT, Jan. 19, 1825."
Extrad. 'Under all present circumstan
ces, my first wish in regard to this subject (and
it is one dictated both by personal partialities
and considerations of the public good,) would
be that JACKSON should be President, and
Clay his Secretary of/State: and I really do be
lieve that the common good is more concerned
in Clay's being Secretary of State, than it is in
the question whether Jackson or Adams should
be President.'
' We append another extract from this
same letter, to show the political mor-
als of that time, as Well as the slavish
devotion to the interests of Mr:
which was then inculcated upon the
Kentucky members.
“ I voted for him, [Calhoun,] it, is true, as
Vice President, but I did it because I thought
he was the abler man. If I had thought Clay's
interest would have been advanced a hair's
breadth by voting against Calhoun, it would
have been done.”
This letter was published ►n the Ken
tucky papers in 1828, and its authenti
city has never been denied. When it
was written. Crittenden had not vet
earned that Jackson had refused to liar
gain for the Presidency, and he there
tore expressed his honest preferences
for Jackson as President.
The line of "Sate Precedents."
But Mr. Clay has indiscreetly given
us evidence upon this subject, from his
own pen. - •
In his letter to Judge Brooke, he
says there is every reason to believe
that we shall avoid the dangerous pre
cedent to which I allude That 'lire
cedent" ,was ,the election of Andiew
Jackson..';
In his address to his coUstituents, or
March 20th, 1825, he says : ' , ln his
