Iiis vote in the House, individually, could not affect the vote of his State, but his personal influence in the House might bo of much consequence.—At this crisis, Webster was waited upon by Bailey, the same who, it was said, interfered in the Vermont election for Senator, anti sounded as to his determina tion. In the course of conversation between them. Webster avowed his Federal prediltc• lions, and said IICQIU IIUI ititiiiv ine rtutratoui) if they gave their support to Adams, could cal culate upon any consideration in the distribu tion of the Government offices. Bailey having thus ascertained Webster’s principal objections to Adams, left him, and next day ho addressed a letter to Webster, stating, that after a conver sation with Mr, Adams, he was authorised to say that Mr. Webster's doubts regarding the Federalists were unfounded, and that if Mr. Adams was made President the claims of that party to office should have all and every pro per consideration. Webster met Bailey afior the receipt of this letter, and told him his loi ter was a very satisfactory one, but that it would hare been more so Ind Mrs Adams writ ten it or would confirm it—for aftcY ho (Web ster) might act upon such pledges, it tqjghi turn out that Mr. Bailey’s authority to make them would be denied; and Mr. riot be bound bv them. To this Bailey replied, that Mr. Webster must see the manifest indelicacy there would have been in asking Mr. Adams to write such a letter, and how improper it would now he to ask a formal acknowledgement of it —but that Mr. Webster was intimately ac quainted with the h ind writing of Mr. Ad ams, and if he would examine his letterf Bai ley's) to him, he would see parts, of it in Mr. Bailey's hand writing which were scratched out, and much stronger terms than those used by Bailey interlined and in mr. adams’ own band-writing. Webster, on referring to the letter, discovered this to be tho case and be came fully satisfied. • He (Webster) after this, read the letter to a distinguished federal mem ber of Congress, who, af.er hearing it read, ob served that if he had no other objection to Mr. Adams, that letter would form an insuperable one—when he found him tamperin'’ with a par ty and seeking to obtain Ilieir support by pro mises of office—a course he neither expected nor wculd countenance.—Webster shewed the letter aftetwards to a member of Congress from New York, whose vote it is believed caused that statefor Adams, and again shewed it to a mem ber from Maryland. Webster may not have tho courage to produce this letter, but that there was such a letter, there is no doubt Thus xvhile Clay was intriguing with one par ty to secure Adams' election^ Adams himself was intriguing with the other—and if the fede ralists could by their influence have secured his election, John Sergeant was to have boen Se cretary of State. But Clay brought tho lar gest force into tho fluid, consummated the plot and got the greatest honor. Sergcaut was con soled by the Tacubaya Mission. The names of the two gentlemen, Members of Congress, are left with us as a warrant for the above statements.—Philadelphia Nat, Palladium. into action, and. to give them such protection as cirs cumatances might suggest, was one of the principal for the abolishment of the confederation sys- reason* tem, which wa* found inadequate for that purpose, and the adoption of the Federal Constitution—and that the resolution passed by the last Legislature In relation to this subject, was extremely unwise and impolitic. Here, then, is a man everlastingly quoted by the inartexts of the Constitution in this State, who assisted to trame this instrument, and who was one of its earliest and ablest cotemporaneous expounders, und who, in the exercise of his Executive duties, at a latter day, was called on to construe its provisions, who says, that he is erroneously thus quoted—and that William B. Giles, that dog in ‘.ho raaugcr, Is fast harryiug hi* hglnyed Virginia to^ruin and contempt, own knowledge, and cannot be contra*tl(c(^j) fc '' f ‘" ,r Without being aware of the ground on which the statement is alleged to bo within the per* zonal knwledge of the Editors, I think it prop er to observe that, ns often happens in the report of conversations, there must have beon soran degree of misapprehension, or misrecolletlion. It is true that I have not npproved the pro ceedings of the General Assembly of the State, which would limit tho power of Congress over trade, to regulations having revenue alone for their object; thtit I have, in occasional conver sations, been led to observe that a contrary doctrine had been entertained and acted on, from tho commencement of tho Constitution of the U. States, by the several branches of o»- vety administration under it; and that I regret ted tho courso pursued by the General Assem bly, as tending to impair tho confidence and cordiality of other parts of the Union, agree ing with Virginia in her exposition of tho con stitution, on other points. In expressing those ideas, however, more respect h is been felt for patriotic sensibilities of the Legislative body, and for the talents and good intentions of mem bers, personally or otherwise known to mo to be particularly entitled to it, than might bo in ferred from the tono of tho publication. I must observe, also, that tho* it is true, that I have spoken of tho power of Congress in its enlarged seuse, over commerce, as a primary anti known object in forming tho constitution, tho language of the statement is inaccurate, at least as being susceptible of a construction em bracing indefinite powers over the entire re sources of tho country. I must presume that the expressions whieh refer, by name, to the Governor of the State, were not meant to bo ascribed to mo; being ve ry sure that I could never have so fur forgotten what I owed to myself, or the respect doe to him. It is with much reluctance, sirs, that 1 have had recottrso to these explanatory remarks,' withdrawn as I am from scenes of political agi tation, by my ago, anti pursuits more congenial with it, It is the single instanco of a commu nication from me to the press, on any subject connected with the existing state of parties.

October 29——3tp——63 TO THE PUBLIC. I Itavo seen, iu tho New York Evening Post, of tlm 9th inst. a paragraph extracted front tho Philadelphia Palladium, of tho 6th, alleging, in express terms, that in the winter of 1824—5, ponding the Presidential election, I hud conversations with Mr. Webster and Mr. Adams, on the consideration which the federal party would have in the distribution of tho government offices, if Mr. A should ho made President; and that a letter was written by me to Mr. Webster ou the subject, as tho result of a conversatiori with Mr. Adams, aud on his authority. Every particle of these ollegntions is a gross fabrication, utterly destitute of tho shadow of truth. I never had a tittle of any such conver sation with either Mr. A. or Mr. W. nor did any letter ever pass from him or through me, having the most remote resemblance to the one alleged. It is stated that “the names of two gentle men, members of Corigross, are left with us, [the Palladiumjas a warrant for the abovo state ment.” It is not possible that this assertion is true. It cannot bo that a single member should bo found, so profligato and base, as to givo his name os a voucher for such unblushing false hood. From the date of the publication, lthree days before the Pennsylvania election,) and from the conspicuous use of tho name of Mr. Sergeant, who was a candidate at tho elec tion, the conclusion is inevitable, that tho para graph is tho fabrication of somo unprincipled partisan, for the purpose of giving a temporary success to his party. Comment on such pro fligacy is unnecessary. b } JOHN BAILEY. Dorchostcr, Mass. Oct. 11,1827. BLANKS . FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE. MR. MADISON’S LETTER. Montpellier, Oet. 10, 1827. Sm—I have just seen in another Gazette tho following paragraph, noted ns an extract from tho “Lyuchburg Virginian;” viz: . “We state, as a fact within our own knowledge, that very recently, the sage and patriot ofMontpsl- Jier expressed his deep regret at ute courso now pur- . 1 | f, ■ * 1 The following is extracted from an address to the public, on the presidential question, re cently adopted nt a meeting of tho friends of General Jackson in the county of Jefferson, V.t. The facts diselosod, aro entitled to ma ture consideration, and if (as wo deubt not) they can be sustained, are deserving of moro serious treatment than a passing newspaper comment.—Virginia Advocate. “When wo stated that Mr. Adams had di rected money to be paid out of the public trea sury, without the authority of law, wo had no ullusion to the trifling item of tho billiard ta ttle, but to a much larger sum. This charge we know is a very serioui one, an impeachable offence; and, therefore, ought ttot to bo lightly or incautiously made. It certainly would not have beon made, unless there had boon evi dence to substantial it; evidence which Mr. Adams cannot object to, bocause it has been furnished by himself, or through his direction, from the Department of -Stato. Among tho public documents sent to Con gress during the list session, in consequence of calls from ono or the other house, was on» [No. 73) on “Foreign Missions.” By this do cument it appears, that Mr. Adams had di rected to he paid to John A. King, son of Mr. Rufus King, lute minister to London, tho sum offour thousand five hundred dollars, by way of an “outfit” to the said John A. Kmg, who was left by his father as ch trgo dcs affaires at London. Ho ulso, it appears, was paid for his services, sixty days, ns charge dos affaires, the furfhor sum of seven hundred and fifty-eight dollars and fifteen cents, making altogether, five thousand two hundred and fifty-eight dol lars nud fifteen conts. Now, wo say, and will proceed to prove unequ-vocally, that both these allowances and payment* made by Mr. Ad ams, were directly contrary to law: and first, tvs to the outfit—Wh it says tho law on that subject?
