Bibb County, Jan. 0th, 1814.
Ties may certify that my wife has been afflicted with
■ pvspepsia and Liver complaint for twelve years, and
j j :1 - taken a variety of medicines without apparent beue-
I even the justly celebrated Dr. Durham, of Clark
I county, (ailed to benefit her. She suffered much from
I jj, r. ous irritability, palpitation of the heart and extreme
I m akocss so as to he confined almost entirely to her bed.
] In this situation I applied to Dr. M. S. Thomson ofMa-
I under whose directions and applications I am hap-
T to say she soon was restored to comfortable health,
| 1 is now able to attend to ail the usual business of her
Uine and family. .
My daughter was also afflicted with convulsive fits,
,m which Dr. Durham failed to relieve her. I applied
,ii Dr. Thomson also in her case, and 1 am persuaded he
. a ally cured her; she has had no symptom of them
in six months.
liuttiie.se though certainly of their kind very eminent,
cannot be compared fora moment with the case of one
of oiv sons, who has been afflicted with palsy to such a
coerce as to have become perfectly helpless, he first lost
I f,o use of Ins limbs then of his body and finally his hear-
9 r and kyesight, so that he might be said to be in a
9 manner dead only he breathed, and even that at one time
■ was so nearly gone, that his clothes were prepared inan-
I tcijiation of his final exit We had made use of the usu-
9 : rein'-dies in such cases, and even had applied to Dr. I
I siriiurfellow, a root doctor, but without benefit. In this 1
_ stnation. Dr. Thomson was called in, who I am happy j
I to sat lias restored him not only to the full and free use j
ol all Ins limbs, hut also to the use of his eyes and ears, j
without w hich creation were a blank and life itself a bur- J
den. The change is so great Isom absolute helplessness

THE OWL’S SOLILOQUY.
BY T. WESTWOOD.
’Twas (he twilight hour. “ Tuwhit tuwhoo!”
Said the owl, as he peered the branches through,
Of the grim old churchyard tree,
“ Tuwit tuwhoo!”—as he plumed his wing—
“They are silent now—they shall hear me sing,
That will gladden their hearts,” quoth lie.
’I’m the king of birds, and t’would ill agree
With my royal state and my dignity,
To mix with die vulgar throng ;
So I wait till the shades begin to fall,
And the earth is hushed—then I charm them all
With my soft melodious song.
If I were to sing in the broad daylight,
I'\e not the least doubt they all be quite
As pleased and as mute as now ;
Biit I’ve been told—and l think they're right,
That my voice has a grander sound by night,
And my notes a richer How.
—Aha ! there’s that silly young bird again—
The nightingale with his tedious strain—
Now really it’s very wrong;—
lie listened to me, one summer’s eve,
And ever since then, without my leave,
lie has tried to learn my song.
Tuwhit tuwhoo, tuwhoo tuwhoo—
lie’ll be sensible soon, what a vain to do
He has made, with liis rivalry ;
Indeed, I’ve a mind myself to teach
The bird now completely beyond his reach
Is the tune of my ministrelsy.
So now for a stave!—“tuwhit tuwhoo,”
Said the owl,as he fiuttered the branches through,
Of the grim, dark churchyard tree ?
And a proud old fellow as he, that hour,
As, perched on the top of the belfry tower,
He hooted right dismally.
EULOGY ON WASHINGTON.
BY PHILLIPS, THE CELEBRATED IRISH ORATOR.
No matter what may be the birth-place of
such a man as Washington. No climate
can claim, no country can appropriate him—
the boon of Providence to the human race—
his fame is eternity—his residence creation.
I hough it was the defeat of our arms ; and
the disgrace of our policy, I almost bless the
convulsion in which he had his origin. If the
heavens thundered, and the earth rocked, yet,
when the storm passed, how pure was the
■climate that it cleared—how bright in the brow
of the firmanant was the planet it revealed to
us 1 In the production of Washington, it
■does really appear, thatnatuie was endeavor
ing to improve upon himself, and that all the
virtues of the ancient world, were but so
many studies preparatory to the patriot of the
new. Individual instances, no doubt there
were; splendid exemplifications of some sin
gle qualification—Ciesar was merciful—Scipio
was continent—Hannibal was patient,—but
it was reserved for Wasningtonto blend them
all in one, and like the lovely master piece of
the Grecian artist, to exhibit in one glow of
associated beauty, the pride of every model,
and the perfection of every master. As a
general, he marshalled the peasant into a vete
ran, and supplied by discipline the absence of
experience. 1 ^ o _.,
policy of the cabinet into the most compre
hensive system of general advantage : and
such was the wisdom of his views, and the
philosophy of his counsels, that to the soldier
and the statesman, he almost added the char
acter of the sage. A conqueror, he was un
tainted with the crime of blood—a revolution
ist, he was free from any stain of treason : for
aggression commenced the contest, and a
country called him to the command—liberty
unsheathed his sword—necessity stained, vic
tory returne 1 it. If he had paused here, his
tory might doubt what station to assign him :
whether at the head of her citizens or her sol
diers—her heroes or her patriots. But the
last glorious act crowned his career, aud ban
ishes hesitation. Who, like Washington, af
ter havingfreed a country, resigned her crown,
and retired to a cottage rather than reign in a
capitol! Immortal man ! He took from the
battle its crime, and from the conquest its
chains—he left the victorious the glory of his
self-denial, and turned upon the vanquished
only the retribution of his mercy. Happy,
proud America ! The temptations of earth
could not seduce your patriotism.
From the Shores of the Rhine, hy Dumas.
NAPOLEON BEFORE AND AFTER
WATERLOO.
GOING TO WATERLOO.
We saw two carriages approaching, gallop
ing, each with six horses. They disappeared
for an instant in a valley, then rose again at a
quarter of a league’s distance from us. Then
we set off, running towards the town, crying
L’Ernpercur ! IAEmpercur ! We arrived
breathless, and only preceding the Emperor
by some five hundred paces. I thought he
would not stop, whatever might be the crowd
awaiting him, and so made for the post house,
when I sunk down half dead with the running,
hut at any rate I was there. In a moment ap
peared, turning the corner of the street, the
foaming horses; then the postilions all cover
ed with ribbons: then the carriages them
selves, then the people following the carriages.
The carriages stopped at the post. I saw Na
poleon ! he was dressed in a green coat, with
little epaulets, and wore the officer’s cross of
the legion of honor. I only saw his bust fram
ed in square of the carriage window. His
head fell upon his chest—the famous medallic
head of the old Roman Emperor. His fore
head fell forward; his features immoveable,
were of the yellowish collor of wax, only his
eyes appeared to be alive. Next him, on his
left, was Prince Jerome, a king without a king
dom, but a faithful brother. He was at that
period, a fine young man of six and twenty, or
thirty years of age, his features regular and
well formed, his beard black, liis hair elegant
ly arranged. He saluted in place of his broth
er, whose vague glance seemed lost in the fu
ture—perhaps in the past. Opposite the Em
peror was Letort, his aid-de-camp, an ardent
soldier, who seemed already to snuff the air
of battle, he was smiling too, the poor fellow,
as if he had long days to live! All this lasted
fur about a minute. Then the whip cracked,
the horses neighed, and all disappeared like a
vision.
RETURNING FROM WATERLOO.
Three days afterwards, towards evening,
some people arrived from St. Quentin : they
said that as they came away they had heard
cannon. 'The morning of the 17th, a courier
arrived, who scattered all along the road the
news of the victory. The ISth, nothing. The
19th nothing; only vague rumors were abroad,
coming no one knew whence. It was said that
the Emperor was at Brussels.—The 20th,
three men in rags, two wounded, and riding
jaded horses all covered with foam, entered
the town, and were instantly surrounded by
the whole population ; and pushed into the
court yard of the town-house. These men
hardly spoke French. They were, I believe,
Westphalians, belonging somehow toourarmy.
To all our questions, they only shook their
heads sadly, and ending by confessing that
they had quitted the field of battle at Water
loo, at eight o’clock, and that the battle was
lost when they came away. It was the advan
ced guard of the fugitives. We would not
believe them. We said the?j men were Prus
sian spies. Napoleon could not be beaten.
The fine army which we had seen pass could
not be destroyed. We -vani-^d to put the poor
fellows in prison, so quickly had we forgotten
’13 and ’14, to remember only the years which
had gone before. My mother ran to the fort,
where she passed the whole dav, knowing it
was there the news must arrive, whatever it
was. During this time I looked out in the
maps for Waterloo, the name of which even
I could not find, and began to think the place
was imaginary as was the men’s account of the
battle.
At four o’clock more fugitives arrived, who
confirmed the news of the first comers. These
were French, and could give all the details
which we asked for. They repeated what the
others had said, only adding that Napoleon
and his brother were killed. This we could
not believe. Napoleon might not be invinci
ble, invulnerable he certainly was. Fresh
news more terrible and disastrous continued
to come in until ten o’clock at night. At ten
o’clock at night, we heard the noise of a car
riage. It stopped, and the post master went
out with a light. We followed him as he ran
to the door to ask for news. Then he started
a step back, and cried “It’s the Emperor.” I
got on a stone bench, and looked over my
mother’s shoulder. It was indeed Napoleon,
seated in the same corner in the same uniform,
his head on his breast as before. Perhaps it
was bent a little lower; but there was not a
line in his countenance, not an altered feature,
to mark what were the feelings of the great
gambler who badjust staked and lostthe world.
Jerome and Letort were not with him now to
bow and smile in his place. Jerome was gath
ering together the remnants of the army—
Letort had been cut in two by a cannon ball.
Napoleon lifted his head slowly, looked around
as if rousing from a dream and then with his
brief striden voice. “What place is this I”
he said, “ Fillers Cutret, sire.” “ How many
leagues from Soissons 1” “ Six, sire.” “From
Paris!” “Nineteen.” “Tell the postboys
to go quick ;” and he once more flung him
self back into the corner of his carriage, his
head falling on his chest. Tho horses carried
him as if they had wings. The world knows
what had taken place between the two appari
tions of Napolean.
John Randolph,.—Burgess & Stringer, have
just published a “Life of John Randolph, of
Roanoke, with a selection from his speeches,”
hy Lemuel Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer was many
years Randolph’s associate in Congress. In
tliis volume he has given rather an entertain
ing account of this most singular and extraor
dinary man. We take from it an anecdote or
two.
Randolph’s personal appearance.—“He used

to the fact of his presence. In the winter he
was enveloped in a long lion-skin surtout, and
on entering the hall his face was nearly buried
in a fur cap. He would some;imes stop short
in the middle aisle, and if he found anyone
up he did not care to listen to, he would abrupt
ly turn on his heel and go out. The reporter
of the Intelligencer in the winter of 1820, took
a sketch of him in that uncouth and ludicrous
figure, with nothing vissible but his two legs
protruding out below, with his mouth, nose,
and eyes, and with head erect, a3 if reconnoit-
eririg. It was one of the best likenesses ever
hit off. He had a vast number of them prin
ted, and kept beside him in his seat, to dis
pose of to the members, and although he sold
scores of them daily for the balance of the ses
sion, the fact was kept a secret from the origi
nal, while the members enjoyed the joke oc
casioned by this carricature.”
Randolph's Affectation.—“His great failing
was affectation. He had two kinds of address.
One stiff and formal, with a long running bow,
and touch of the hat, and an artificial smile,
for mere acquaintance, for those former friends
towards whom he had grown cool, and a warm,
cordial and long-continued shake of the hands
for his few bosom friends. He had been seen
to walk up to Mr. Macon, while the House
was in session, in the most ostentatious man
ner, and seizing his hand, would shake it so
long and forcibly, that the old gentleman
would appear confused. On another occasion,
upon the eve of adjournment, he went up to
Mr. Quincy to take his farewell. While he
shook his hand, he had his face in his hand
kerchief, and held his head aside as if in the
act of shedding tears. Mr. Quincy looked as
if he did not know what to make of it; and if
there were any tears spent, it must have been
those of merriment at such a lu licrous scene,
by the spectators. In passing out of the Hall
with his friend Garnet, he encountered near
the door, a Lyon (Matthew, of Kentucky,)
and offered him his hand. Mr. Lyon drew
back, and observed that he could not find it in
his heart to shake hands with Mr. Randolph,
because he called him a “d—d old rascal.”—
Mr. Randolph appealed to Mr. Garnet, who
confirmed Mr. Lyon’s statement, and Mr. Ran
dolph replying, ‘it cant’t be helped,’ departed
without exchanging the farewell with him.”

“THOU SHALT NOT KILL.”
Dialogue between a Deacon and his Minister, on
the subject of the Presidential Election.
Deacon—I come to advise with you as to
the course which, as a Christ'an,- I ought to
pursue in the next presidential election.
Minister—Well, what are your difficulties!
D.—l am a true Whig, and I hope a true
Christian. In 182S I was much inclined to
x 7 0te for Gen. Jackson on account of the great
services he had rendered the country, but you
advised me that, as a true Christian, I could
not do so, because he had set at defiance the
laws of God and man, hy fighting a duel.—
The Whigs now present us a candidate for
the Presidency who has fought two duels, and
been an accomplice in a third. What am I to
do!
31.—l have heard that Clay was a duelist,
hut have never inquired into the particulars.
D.—I have, for I thought it my duty to do
so when called on to put him at the head of
the nation to see the laws faithfully executed.
Shall I give you the particulars.
M.—Go on.
D.—Here is a “ Biography of Henry Clay,”
written by his particular friend, George D.
Prentice. At page 30, we are told he accept
ed a challenge from Col. Daviess, but it was
adjusted. At page 45, is an account of his
first duel. Here are the words of the Biogra
pher, viz :
“ Mr. Clay brought a resolution before the
House [the Kentucky House of Representa
tives,] that each member, for the purpose of
encouraging the industry of the country,
should clothe himself in garments of domestic
manufacture. This resolution called into ex
ercise all Mr. Marshall’s talents of vitupera
tion. He denounced it as the project of a
demagogue, and applied a variety of epithets
to its author which no parliamentary rules
could justify. Mr. Clay’s language in reply
was probably of a harsh character, and the
quarrel proceeded from one stage to another,
till according to the laws of honor, which eve
ry Kentuckian of that day was taught to reve
rence, no alternative remained to Mr. Clay,
and he was required to challenge his antago
nist. The challenge was accepted. The par
ties met, and the first shot was exchanged
without other effect than a slight wound to
Mr. Marshall. On the second or third trial,
Mr. Marshall’s ball gave Mr. Clay a slight flesh
wound in the leg, and the seconds now inter
fered and prevented a continuance of the com
bat.”
This account is given by a friend and apolo
gist. But it shows that Mr. Clay was the ihal-
lenger and that twice or thrice he deliberately
attempted to take away tho life of a fellow-
man.
M.—But does not the Historian say Mr.
Clay has repented this early crime !
D.—He says, “we have no doubt that Mr.
Clay erred in this affair with Mr. Marshall,
incident with disapprobation and regret.” If
there had been any sincere repentance it would
have shown itself in his subsequent conduit.
So far from that, some seventeen years after
wards, he publicly proclaimed his determina
tion to commit the same crime if he could find
an antagonist, and the next year did commit it!
31.— Let us have the particulars.
D.—Prior to the election of President hy
the House of Representatives in 1825, it was
charged in a letter published iu Philadelphia,
purporting.to be written by a member of the
House, that Mr. Clay had bargained to make
Mr. Adams President, on condition of receiv
ing preferment at his hands, whereupon Mr.
Clay published a card in the newspapers
which concluded as follows, viz :
“ I pronounce the member, whoever he may
he, a BASE and INFAMOUS CALUMNIA
TOR, A DASTARD AND A LIAR; and
if lie dire unveil himself and avow his name,
I will hold him responsible, as I here admit
myself to he, to all the laws which govern and
regulate the conduct of men of honor.
H. CLAY.”
Mr. Clay was then Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and it was from that high sta
tion that he thus hurled defiance at the laws of
God and man, shocking all the moral and re
ligious feelings of this great nation.
31.—But no duel grew out of that, I believe.
D.—No ; hut it was not in consequence of
any retraction or repentance on the part of
Mr. Clay, as the events of the next year am
ply demonstrate.
31.—Go on.
D.—Mr. Adams was elected President by
the aid of Mr. Clay’s vote and influence, and
appointed Mr. Clay Secretary of State. In a
speech in the Senate at the next session of
Congress, John Randolph characterised this
coalition of known political enemies, as the
union of the “ Eastern Puritan with the Wes
tern Blackleg.” Mr. Clay immediately sent a
challenge. Mr. Clay’s Biographer has not
thought proper, in the text of his work, to give
us any account of this duel, but in the news
papers of the day, I find the following official
account of the meeting, viz :
“ On Saturday, the Sth April, at half past
four o’clock, a meeting took place between
Mr. Clay and Mr. Randolph, upon a call of
the former, in consequence of certain expres
sions used by the latter in a recent debate in
the Senate, which Mr. Clay considered offen
sive, and applied personally to him.
“ Mr. Randolph was attended by Col. Tat-
nall, of Georgia, and Major Hamilton of South
Carolina, Mr. Clay, by Gen. Jessup of the
Army, and Mr. Johnson of Louisiana.
“ The parties met on the ground—exchang
ed salutations, and took their stations.
“ The Pistol of Mr. Randolph, which was
suspended by his side, went off. It was per
ceived to be an accident, and so pronounced
by Mr. Clay; immediately, however, upon
the report of the pistol, Mr. R. turned to Col.
T. and said, “ I told you so.” Col. T. then
turning to Gen. J. observed, “ Sir, the fault is
mine—Mr. R. protested against the use of the
hair trigger—it was at my express instance the
hair was sprung.” Another pistol was hand
ed to Mr. R. The parties resumed their sta
tions and exchanged shots without effect.
“ Immediately after the report of the pis
tols, while Col. T. and Gen. J. were reloading,
Col. Benton, of Mo. rode up, and united with
Mr. Johnson and Col. Hamilton in an effort to
stop the affair, which proved ineffectual. The
parties again took their stations, and the word
being given, Mr. Clay raised his pistol and
fired, and the hall passed through Mr. R’s
clothes. Mr. R. reserved bis fire—holding his
pistol perpendicularly up—said, “ I do not
fire at you, Mr. Clay.” and discharged his pis-
ol in the air. He added, “it was not my in-
eution to have fired at you at all; the unfor
tunate circumstance of my pistol going off ac
cidentally, changed my determination.” At
this instant Col. Benton came up and said,
“ Yes, Mr. R. told me so expressly, 8 days
ago.” The parties simultaneously approach
ed towards each other, both with extended
hands, Mr. R. remarking, “ Sir, I give you
my hand,” which was received by Mr. Clay,
and the affair thus happily closed.”
31.—But look here; Mr. Clay’s Bioqraphe r
in his Appendix, page 292, n itices this duel,
and says Mr. Clay “regrets this incident.”—
He gives an extract from Mr. Clay’s address
to his fellow-citizens soon alter the duel, in
which he says, “ l owe it to the community
to say, that whatever heretofore I may have
done, or, by inevitable circumstances, may he
forced to do, no man holds in deeper abhor
rence than I do, the pernicious practice of du
elling. Condemned as it must he, hy the judg
ment and philosophy, to say nothing of the re
ligion, of every thinking man, it is an affair of
feeling, about which we cannot, although we
should, reason. The true corrective will be
found, when all shall unite, as all ought to
unite, in its unqualified proscription.”
D.—I had observed that passage and re
flected upon it. I will endeavot to give the
views it suggests.
1. To kill in a duel is MURDER, hy the
laws of God and man.
2. According to Mr. Clay’s reasoning, mur
der of this sort, is to he excused because it is
“ an affair off feeling." Otherwise he is with
out excuse.
3. All malicious murder is “ an affair of feel
ing,” and is excused on the same ground.
4. How can all unite “in its unqualified
proscription,” when men like Mr. Clay, whom
society recognizes as its leaders, apologize for
the crime and persist in committing it !
5. So far from promising reformation in this
address, Mr. Clay avows that he "maybeforc-
cd” to fight again. What is his “deeper ab
horrence” worth, with this avowal on his lips !
6. Is it not the surest way to arrive at that
“ unqualified proscription” which Mr. Clay
says is “the true corrective,” for “all” to
unite in the unqualified proscription” from the
high offices of the country, of all who are guil
ty of this awful crime !
31.—I believe the blood of no murdered
man is upon Mr. Clay’s head.
D.—I am not certain of that. But he that
as it may, it is no apology for Mr. Clay that he
did not succeed in his murderous design.—
The reason why the blood of Randolph does
not rest on his head, is thus lightly given hy
his Biographer, pages 299, 3.10, viz: “ In
due time, the parties fired and luckily for both
of them, or at least for Mr. Clay, Mr. Ran
dolph’s life was’ saved by his gown. The un
seemly garment constituted such a vast cir
cumference, that the locality of ‘ the thin and
swarthy Senator was at least, a matter of ve
ry vague conjecture. Mr. C. might as well
have fired into the outspread top of an oak, in
the hope of hitting a bird he supposed to he
snugly perched somewhere among the branch
es. Mis ball hit the centre of the visible object,
but Randolph was not there—and of course
the shot did no harm and no good.”
This shows that if the blood of Randolph
does not rest on Mr. Clay’s head, it is not for
lack of malice or of deadly aim.
31.—But you say you are not sure that the
Klpurl of the murdered does not rest on Mr.
Clay s head : what dul you refer to a
i>—To the murder of Mr. Gilley in 1836.
31.—Why, Mr. Clay had nothing to do with
that.
D.—You are greatly mistaken. He was
Mr. Graves’ adviser from the beginning, until
he want out to fight, and was clearly an accom
plice in the murder.
31.—What authority have you for that ?
D.—The authority of Mr. Clay’s particular
friend, and of 3Ir. C’ay himself. You may
remember, that Mr. Graves of Kentucky was
the bearer of a challenge from James Wat
son Webb, to Mr. Cilley, for words spoken in
debate. Mr. Cilley verbally declined accept
ing the challenge for reasons which vvere en
tirely satisfactory to Mr. Graves. But upon
consultation with Mr. Clay, it was determin
ed to require Mr. Cilley lo put his reasons in
writing, and to state among other things that
he considered James Watson Webb a gentle
man. This he refused to do, because he
could not in conscience, and for not admitting
that to be true which he knew to be false, Mr.
Graves challenged and killed him. And this
he did under the advice of ILnry C!ay as I
shall show.
Here is a letter from Mr. Clay to Henry A.
Wise, dated February 28, 1842, in which Mr.
Clay says :
“Idid not know that Mr. Graves bore a
note from Col. Webb to Mr. Cilley until after
the delivery of the note and after Mr. Graves
received from him a verbal answer. In that
stage of the transaction, for the first time, Mr.
Graves communicated the matter to me, and I
congratulated him on the fact of that answer
being perfectly satisfactory and such as to ab
solve him from all obligation to pursue the af
fair further."—“On conversation together, we
both agreed that, to guard against future mis
understanding and misrepresentation, it was
desit able that Mr. Cilley should put it in writ
ing what he had verbally answered.”
Upon this advice Mr. Graves required a
written statement from Mr. Cilley, containing
a concession that Webb was a gentleman;
and not being able to obtain it, he returned to
Mr. Clay for further counsel. In reference to
what then pas-ed ; Mr. Clay says in the same
letter:—
“ When on the day preceding the duel,
Mr. Graves in company with you, came to my
room, I was informed that he had determined
to challenge Mr. Cilley, and he showed me
the challenge which he had drawn. Upon
reading it, I thought it closed the door to all
accommodation, stated that objection, and
sketched a draught in my own handwriting
which would admit of an amicable adjust
ment.”
This draught in Mr. Clay’s own handwrit
ing, was copied by Mr. Graves and sent to Mr.
Cilley. It was in the following words, viz :
Washington City, Feb. 23, 1S3S.
Hon. J. Cilley :
As you have declined accepting a commu
nication which I bore to Jrou from Col. Webb,
and as by your note of yesterday you have re
fused to decline on grounds which would ex
onerate me from all responsibility growing out
of this affair, l am left no other alternative hut
to ask that satisfaction which is recognized a-
mong gentlemen. My friend Hon. Henry A.
Wise, is authorized by the to make the ar
rangements suitable to the occasion,
Yourobedient servant,
W. J. GRAVES.
From a statement published by Messrs.
W ise and Jones (the seconds.) after the duel,
it appears that Mr. Jones stated to Mr. Wise
(when Cilley accepted the challenge,) that he
was authorized by Mr. Cilley to say, that in
declining to receive the note from Mr. Graves,
purporting to be from Col. Webb, he meant
no disrespect to Mr. Graves, because he en
tertained for him then, as he does now, the
highest respect and the most kind feeling;
but that he declined to receive the Dote be
cause he chose not to be drawn into any con
troversy with Col. Webb.”
Yet, after this second disavowal of any dis
respect to Mr. Graves, was this duel pushed,
under the advice of Mr. Clay, to a fatal ter
mination.
But this was not the last of Mr. Clay’s agen
cy.—He was duly informed of the acceptance
of the challenge written by him, and of the
arrangement to fight with the deadly rifle. In
the same letter he says :
“ My belief is, that I never saw the terms
according to which the combat was to be con
ducted, prior to the duel, although I think
they were stated and explained to me,'probably
by you” (Mr. Wise.)
That he was in possession of all the parti
culars, is proved by the statements of Charles
King and Reverdy Johnson, Esqr’s., published
by Mr. Clay himself, in which the former says:
“ At neither interview were we shown the
written challenge and acceptance or the terms
of the duel, but had them explained to us on
ly by Mr. Clay.”
By Mr. Clay’s own evidence, therefore, it
appears, that he advised the written corres
pondence which led to the duel, that he drew
the challenge, and that he knew the terms cn
which they were to fight.
31.—Well, when he knew that the parties
had arranged to commit mutual murder, did he
not invoke the power of the law toprevent it ?
D.—So far from that, he directly refused to
do so! In the letter already referred to, Mr.
Clay says:
“ Being the friend of 3Ir. Graves, I could
not invoke the authority of the police to prevent
the duel.”
His friends, Messrs. Chas. King and Rever
dy Johnson, concur in stating, that on their ur
gent appeal to Mr. Clay to aid in arresting the
duel, Clay replied in substance, “ that we
saw how he was situated. Mr. Graves had
consulted him. He ought not, he said, to
have been consulted ; but having been, the
honor of his friend who was the challenger,
might he compromised by any advance on I is
(Mr. Clay’s) part to arrest the progress of the
affair.” These gentlemen found Mr. Graves
with Mr. Clay on that occasion, it then being
. past six o’clock in the evening, and early the
next morning the awful murder was consumat-
ed almost in sight of the Capitol !
Mr. Clay says, he did not expect the duel to
be fought the next day, because Mr. Graves
had not at that time procured a rifle ; but Mr.
Clay’s colleague from Kentucky in the Senate,
and one of his particular friends in the House,
borrowed one about twelve o’clock at night
with which the fatal deed was consummated in
the. mornig.
3Ir. Wise, who was Mr. Graves’ second,
has declared that the duel was caused by Mr.
Clay’s advice which differed from his own ;
and Mr. Clay says in his letter:
“ I admit without any reservation whatever, that on all
the points of the controversy respecting which he (Graves)
asked my opinion. I gave it to him freely, according to the
best of my ju dgment .”
It thus appears:
That Mr. Clay helped to conre’t this murder. And:
Titat when tiie plan was all complete, he refused to
aid in rrresting it.
Does not t c blood of Cilley rest on Mr. Clay’s head l
M.— But .Mr Graves was Mr. Clay’s friend, he says
he was hound to give his advice when asked.
D.—That uny he ; but can any man lawfully advise
his friend to commit murder ? Can any man, knowing
that a murder was in contemplation, acquit himself of
liis duty to God and man, without taking efficient steps
to prevent it > With Mr. Clay, this was not “an affiir
ol feeling” like Ilia duel with Randolph; he at least
could “ reason ’ in this case.
M.—Is your case fully stated ?
D.—No ; I have one point more. The Constitution
of the U. States says;
“ For any speech or debate in either house, they (the
members of Congress) shall not be questioned in any
other place.”
When Henry Clay was appointed Secretary of State
in 13J5, lie took the following 01th prescribed by law, in
pursuance of the Constitution: viz.
‘ I HENRY CL\Y. do solemnly swear that 1 will sup
port the Constitution of the United States.
SO HECI* ME GOD ”
Yet, the words for which he challenged and attempted
to kill John Randolph were spoken in debate ia the Senate
of the United States. If Mr. Clay had been a private ciii-
zen, this challenge would h ive been a violation of the
constitution; being Secretary of State, and unJer oath
to support that instrument, it was not only a violation
of the constitution, hut of his SWORN COVENANT
WITH HI3 GOD.
How can I, as a Christian, or good citizen, support
for President a man who not only violates the most sawed
laics, human an Idivim, but sets at naught his SOLEMN
OATHS? Wh it will beconia of our laws, our conui-
titntion or our country, when a in in who is c ipahle of
becoming so excited by “ an affair of feeling.” that he
cannot reason though he should, shall hold in his hand the
Executive Power of this great Republic ? Graves, the
principal in this tragedy, is now spreading out his b'oody
hands to the people of Kentucky imploring them to vote
lor his principal! Is this fit comp my for Christians ?
M.—I confess you have mule out a stronger case
against Mr. Clay tlim I supposed oossible.
He has twice shown himself willing to commit murjtr
in due's, and twice attempted it.
He has aided and counselled another in pursuing un r o
Death, a fellow min, who hid repeatedly disavowed ill
personal disrespect or unkindness towards Ins pursuer,
simply because he refused to admit what he believed tu bs
untrue. For this cause only, a happy wife was in idea
widow, and little children mile fatherless.
He has viol itedat the same time, the constitution of his
country an l liis oath before his G id.
I h ive now to repeat the advice given you in 1323;
for in some respects, Mr. Clay’s crimes exceed those of
Gen. Jackson.
We of the Whig party profess tu be the friends of re
ligion, law and order. If true to this profession, we can
not vote for men who set at definance man's laws, and
God’s laws, aud rush to the commission of crime over
the constitution and their oaths.
Nay, I am not sure that we ought not, if our Whig
leaders persist in pressing on us sac/i a candidate, to tike
the most effectual way to prevent his election by v 'ting
for his opponent.

Tiie Hartford Times, in alluding to Henry
Clay’s celebrated “card,” issued when Kre-
mer cried aloud and spared not, sums up the
argument in the subjoined brief and emphatic
manner, which is worth whole volumes of de
nial from parties interested and criminated,
who of course say “ not guilty,” according to
the usual formulas on occasions of this sort.
Here are the facts, not to be evaded, misre
presented or denied. And yet the people are
asked to vote for a man whose political prin
ciples hang so loosely on him that, for an office
he betrayed his state and his party, and who,
after publicly declaring that the charge against
him was a lie, proved its truth by doing the
very thing with which he had been charged.
Is treachery of this sort a Presidential quali
fication?
“ Now we ask our readers to mark this point.
Henry Clay’s “card” denounced the author
of the letter in the Columbia Observer as *• a
base and infamous calumniator, a dastard and
liar.” The letter was written in January
1825, about four weeks previous to the elec
tion of John Quincy Adams, and stated that
there was evidence that Mr. Clay was about
to vote for John Quincy Adams, against the
special instructions of the Legislature of his
own State, and that Clay would be rewarded
by a high office for his treachery. This is the
substance of the letter which called out Clay’s
“card” of a general challenge—this is what
Clay pronounced to be a “ calumny” and a
“ lie.” In February about four weeks after
the publication of Clay’s card, the Presiden
tial election in the House of Representatives
took place. Clay voted for Adams, against
the instructions of Kentucky, as the letter
said he would. Shortly after that, Mr. Clay
was appointed Secretary of State, thus prov
ing tiie statement of the letter which Clay de
clared to be a “ lie.” How much reason had
he for the public challenge he put forth ?
Hartford Times.
“Mr. Clay, has long since forfeited all claims to the
suffrages of the South, by his zealous support of the Ta
riff; and his advocacy of the Force Bill, will afford an ad
ditional reason for his receiving the determined opposi
tion of the State Rights Party.”— Ga. Journal, Dec.
25, 1338.
•We can never support the distinguished Orator
whose powerful eloquence, has 11. so many instances
been directed against the interests of the South \Ve
can never support an advocate of the “Force Bill” we
cannot support ‘ Harry of the West.”—Georoia Journal,
Feb 26, 1839.
“We were among those who believed Mr. Clav was
wedded to a United States Bank, but events as they h u e
tran pired, convinces us that we were in error.’ “\Va
are pleased that he has abandoned the project, and sin
cerely hope that the energies of his great and powerful
mind, will be directed to the support of what we conceive
to be more beneficial to the country.—Ga. Journal, May
28,1839.
