answer to Wheeling, V*.
Your inquiries relative to the proposition of
bat gain made through Mr. Clay** friend* to
some of mine, concerning the then pending
prmidenfMf election, were answered frrrty
and frankly at the time; byt without any cal
culation thnt they were to be thrown into the
public journal*?but fact* cannot he altered
???and a*your letter* seem not to have been
written for public; I'M, 1 can assure you that,
having n6. 'incealment myself, n-?rany <trc<?d
a riling fi*>m what 1 may have said on the oc
casion and vibfect alluded to, my feeling*
towards you are not the least changed. 1
always intended,.should Mr. Clay come opt
over his own name, ami* deny haxing any
knowledge of the communication m ?de by
hU friend, to m)r friends ahd to me, .that 1
would give him th< name of the gentleman
through whom that communication came. 1
have not seen your U tter alluded to, ns hav
ing been mubluhcd in the Telegraph; al
though that paper, as I am informed, is re
rlarly mailed for me at Washington, still
rcecive it irregularly, and that containing
your letter, has not come to ban*'i of course 1
cannot say whether your statement it sub
stantially correct or not.'?I will repeat,
however, again, the occurrence, and to
which my reply to you must have con
formed, ahd fruu which, if there has
been any variation, you can correct it.
it it thin: , Burly in January, 1824, a
member of Congress of high respectability,

tives through which it waa made, he noped
%puM prevent any change of friendship or
feeling with regard to htm.?To which 1
repl'n-d, from his high standing as a gentle
man and member ofCongress, and from his
uniform friendly and rentllmanly conduct to
wards myself, I could not suppose he would
TMke any communication to me, which he
supposed was improper. Therefore, his
motives being pure, let mc think as | might
of the communication, my feelings towards
him would remain unaltered. The gentle
man proceeded. He. said he had been In
formed bv the friends of Mr. Clay, that tke
friends of Mr. Adams had laadei, overtures to
them, saying, ?f Mr. Clay and his friends
Would unite in aid of the election of Mr.
Adams, Mr. CUy 4honld be ttcretary of ?at*.
That the friends of Mr. Adkms Were urging,
as a reason to induce the friends of Mr. Clay
to accede to their proposition, that if I was

Canada.?'The Canadian paper* exhibit*
a state of feeling not leea agitated than for
some time previous. The opposition to'the
alien law appears na strong as when the
latter waa first protested against. The
Montreal Courant of Wednesday last, say*
that much excitement bad been created
by tke arrival of Col gaaon, brother'of
the governor in chief from England, with
despatches^. It sma rumored that they
contained instructions to his excellency to
take away the constitution hitherto enjoy
ed, by that country, and to place H under
the control of the governor and council,
which measure, R la mid, was occasional
by the diflkultie* which have distracted the
Provincial Parliament. From the remarks
of the Courant, we Infer that there I* no
mfBcient reason for crediting this rumor.
That paper suvd, "h i* certain that n
strong military force la coming out to this
country, for what purpoeo we cannot di
vine." MknrTork Strntcmim,
We confeaa that when we first met with
the statement, that Mr.Clay and hie friends,
on the eve of the late presidential decision by
the MwiSe nf Kepreaentatives, snbmkUMl n
MropoaKton to Oen. Jackaon, promising, pro
vided he would exclude Mr. Adam* from tke
office of Secretary of Htatf, to make him
(Con. J.) the president, we pamed It by as
one of the talea which the prooeut enntrovdr
ay has generated. But K now aseumss a new
shutHr) being supported by the explicit testi
mony of Gen. Jackson. How Car Mr. Clay
wa* privy to tke proposition, femahta to be
determined by future dlacbnures or denials.
Mr.Clay and hi* friend* owe H to themselves
to tnest K promptly. Oaleas thie shattln
