Macon. May 7, 1814. 32
Coalition between CIny and Adams, in 1S25.
We publish in to-day's paper, the letter of the
Hon. Linn Boyd, which we recommend to the pe
rusal of those who wish more light 00 the causes
which led Mr. Clay to vote for John Quincy Ad-
a:ns, in 1825. against the known wishes of his con
stituents. His conduct, on that occasion, bore, in
titis section of the country, at that time, the appel
lation of “nr bargain and sale,” a “nefarious
transaction,” and many others, of a like nature, in
dicative of the belief in its fraud ; and wascltatac-
teriz'tl by John Randolph, as “ a coalition between
tie Puritan and the Black-leg.”
In Ms Macon speech. Mr. Clay alluded to Ids
rote on that occasion, but failed to leave on the
mind, any satisfactory evidences of the injustice of
fbe charges against him. His only excuse, on
which he dwelt with an excruciating detail, was the
imbecility of Mr. Crawford. And wirh that con-
vrnient treachery of memory, which marked his
allusion, on that occasion, to Mr. Van Buren, he
forgot entirely to (ell us of the resolutions of the Le
gislature of Kentucky, in 1825. requesting her Rep
resentatives in Congress to vote for Gen. Jackson
over Adams, and which he contemptuously refused
to obey. His subsequent appointment by Mr. Ad-
sms, to the office of Secretary of State, seems to ex
plain his patriotic motives, in disregarding the voice
of the people of Kentucky, as he was thereby pla
ced, in his own expressive phrase, in the line of
"safe precedents.'
It seems, while these negotiations for Mr. Clay’s
appointment were going on, certain procurator}
letters were written front Washington City, to Ken
lucky, with the view of obtaining requests to her
Representatives in Congress, to disregard the reso
lutions of the Legislature. Of this, Mr. Boyd says-’
“In the developeinents of 1827 and 1828, this ru
mor was traced directly to a letter or letters, written
early in January, by Mr. Clay himself, to some of
his friends in Kentucky, not, perhaps, using the very
tcords, but certainly conveying the idea.”
Several witnesses testify to the substantial fact,
that there was “a bargain and sale.” Among oth
ers will be found, a certificate, under oath, signed
by twelve citizens of Kentucky, who heard David
Trimble, one of Mr. Clay's colleagues in Congress,
from Kentucky, who voted with him for Adams,
•ay, in a public speech.—•• We ascertained, that,
under no circumstances, would Gen. Jackson ap
point our friend, Henry Clay, Secretary of State.
Knowing this, then, fellow-citizens, that Gen. Jack-
son would not, and Mr. Adams would, ap|tointour
friend, Henry Clay, Secretary of State, if you ex
pected me to vote for Gen. Jackson, you expected
me 10 do that which I could not anti would not do.”
Il this is not the language of one who was up to ma
king a good bargain, it would be bard to find words
more expressive of a trading propensity.
The remainder of Mr Boyd's letter, goes to shew
the reverence of Mr. Clay for the instructions of
his constituents, either “express or implied,” to
use his own words. But that regard for their wish
es, ia an abstract faith, that is practised, only when
tho opinions of his constituents do not come in con
flict with his own desires.
Mr. Clay’s contempt for the wishes of his consu
me:!!-. very easily implied, nnd tolerably fairly ex-
1 ressftl too, for the repeal of the Bankrupt law", be
fore i: !in<! gone into operation, is given at length in
the letter.
We solicit an attentive reading of Mr Boyd’s
latter, from r very Democrat; the Whigs will read
il,ofcoutse, ns the onus falls on them, ofdefending
Mr. Clay against Mr. Boyd's charges.

Houston Democratic circling.
At a Meeting of the Democratic.Association of
Houston County, on Wednesday, the 24th April,
the following preamble and resolutions were a-
dopfed.
The Democratic Party of Houston County feel
sensible of adopting in common, with their breth
ren of other Counties, suitable means, for the pur
pose of ensuring union and zeal in the struggle for
supremacy in the approaching elections—a suprem
acy which has been only temporarily lost by su
pineness and inactivity; which has been produced
mainly by a difference of opinion amongst them
selves, “as to who should be'their candidates.”
But in principle the Democracy are and have al
ways been the same—-‘one and indivisible.” Con
tending as a partv, “for the integrity of the Consti
tution, interpreted by the rule of strict construction.”
As a consequence of this tule, and which origi
nated with the formation of the General Govern
ment, our Republican Fathers held that the Gov
ernment of the United States was one of limited
and specified powers, emanating from, and defined
in the Constitut.on. Tt was never supposed by the
framers of that instrument, that Congress in the
subordinate Legislation assigned it in the passing of
Laws necessary and proper to carry into effect the
delegated powers, would attempt tocxercise “other
sovereign powers” that had not only been withheld
from it because they had not been delegated, but
had been “reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people.”
But notwithstanding the strong guards thus
thrown around the rights of the States, and of the
people, by the wisdom and patriotism of our re
publican ancestors, there is, and has been a party
in these United States, co-existent with the Gov
ernment itself, who have ever been struggling by
continued encroachments upon those rights, to a-
bolish these land marks of the Constitution.
That party is now, lor the first time, io power in
this State, and is commending and urging Federal
measures, which have hitherto received the cen
sure and condemnation of the people of Georgia—
both C.ark and Troup men—Nullifiers and Union
men. And although its elevation to power was in
some degree accidental and attributable to the re
missness and supinenessof the Republican Party,
yet we cannot shut our eyes, to the fact that tlu-y
are making a formidable organization—they are
uniting themselves into Clay Clubs in every Coun
ty, enrolling the names of their dupes and partizans
—seeking to obtain by falsehood and misreptesen-
tation, what they would never hope to achieve by
reason and fair argument.
When we consider how unscrupulous they are,
and have ever been, as to the means used in ob
taining converts to their odious and unct.nstitutional
doctrines, shall we remain idle and disunited ?
“Shade of Jefferson forbid it.”
We cheerfully unite with our Democratic friends
of other counties, in promoting the policy offotming
Democratic Associations, as the means of securing
Union and Harmony in our ranks, and with a view
to obtain and dispense among the people political
information, so that the least informed amongst us,
can be enabled to understand the principles of our
Government; and we recommend it as the most
efficient means of obtaining the ends desired.
The Constitution as it is, (and not as tortured by
the latitudinous construction of the Federal Party,)
is the point around which wc rally. It is the text
book of our faith—the polar star of our political sal
vation.
Let tho people understand its principles aod De
mocracy will triumph.
Resolved, That the Democratic Party of Hous
ton celebrate the approaching Anniversary of A-
merican Independence, on the 4th dayof July next,
and that trie Chair appoint a Committee of Arrange
ments to consist of three Democrats from each Mi
litia District in the County, to make the necessary
arrangements for said celebrat on.
Resolved, That the Chair appoint a Committee
of Correspondence, who are requested to conduct
the- Correspondence of the Association, and to in
vite such distinguished Republicans as 1 hey may
think proper, to attend our proposed-celebration on
the 4th of July.
Resolved, Thar the foregoing proceedings be
signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and pub
lished in the Democratic papers.
