CLAY. Robert "Wickliffe, Esq. i a One Hundred Dollars Premium for the best Butter. A number among the most respectable citizens of Boston and its vicinity having subscribed and paid over to the Treasury of the Massachusetts Society for promoting ministration, have invaded the territories of Mr. Clay's private affairs.

The able and conclusive defence of Clay to the charges of "bargain and corruption" bro't against him by Genera! Jackson and his partizans, and which are still fulminated through the kennels put in motion by the Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund has by no means abated the inveteracy of his enemies, who have sworn to put. him down. Having failed to establish a single fact derogatory to his pnblic character, they have entered the yestibule of his private affairs, 'and shamefully exhibited to the world a long and portentous list of what are said to be his personal debts, amounting in the wholo, according to our recollection, to more than seventy-five thousand dollars, and no security for the payment but repeated mortgages upon his estate. Among others mentioned as his creditors in very heavy sums is John Jacob New-York, to the a-mount of twenty thousand dollars. Mr.

Brattleboro, July 3, 1823. 23 HAHTPOUD ALB. HARTFORD ALE of prime quality, by the barrel or less, at the Brewery prices and freight, for salo by WILLISTON HUXT. June 5th, 1823. CwlO Agriculture, a sum of one hundred dollars, to encourage improvements in the quality of Butter offered for sale in the Boston market, the Trustees of the Society, in compliance with the request of the contributors, will award this liberal pre mium of one hundred dollars, to the person who shall exhibit the best butter, not far as it relates to himself he says Mr.

Clay does not owe him a single cent. Other gentlemen named in the list of creditors have made similar declarations. These charges, therefore, like those which have preceded them, are disappearing before the powerful light of truth, and will leave no.other impression on the public mind than disgust at the baseness of their authors. Mr. Clay has noticed these accusations in a letter to a friend, the Hon: Robert Wickliffe, of Lexington, Ken.

The letter was not intended for publication, but Mr. has taken upon himself the responsibility of laying some extracts from it before the public. These extracts are so creditable to the feelings and principles of the distinguished alike The Hero," and are encamped, in conside-ble force, upon the borders of the Hermitage. A convention of delegates from three counties, convened at Nashville, have resolved to support the re-election of President Adams, and have published an address to the, People. Among other things, they declare, that "our distinguished fellow citizen, Andrew Jackson, has not the qualifications indispensably necessary for a Chief Magistrate of this Union knowing, as we do, that his pursuits, his habits, and whole course of life, have been essentially different from what would be requisite to constitute a statesman, however much by nature It will be observed that they say they the man, and his "whole course of and that be cannot be 'a statesman." They further declare, if e-lected, he must be guided by others, and, most probably, by "obtruding sycophants, and pliant knaves, who hover round great men's skirts," to obtain an influence for their own purposes.

They draw a glowing picture of the ignorance, the imprudence, and the "fiery temperament' of the General, and conclude by asserting that, in supporting Adams and Rush, they "consult the best interests of the country, and strive to maintain the peace, happiness, and prosperity of the United States." Another public meeting, in Bedford county, Tennessee, have resolved, that they have objections to Adams, but much stronger ones to Jackfon. This meeting asserts that the friends oT Jackson have accused of "mutiny, desertion and cowardice, many of the brave defenders of our country in the Creek war," and among them several officers of high rank. They indignantly repel the "slander." and resolve, that they "repose entire confidence in the patriotism, zeal and integrity of Duct. James L. and will, support him as an elector of President and Vice President.

Dr. Armstrong is the gentlemau who has collected and published the evidence proving the falsehood of the assertions that John Woods had deserted and been pardoned, previous to the "mutiny" for which he was less than three hundred pounds weight, at the Society's Hall, in Brighton, on Tuesday the 14th day of October next, (the day previous to the Cattlc.Show.) The competition will not be confined to persons within this Commonwealth, but will be open to the citizens of all the New-England States. To entitle any parcel to the premium it must have been manufactured between the first day of June inst. and the fifteenth day of September, of which fact a written declaration, under oath, will be required. The preference will be given to that parcel which has been longest made, provided it is of a quality not inferior to any Other.

The judgment of the Committee in making their award will be influenced by any appearance of particular attention to cleanliness and nicety in the manner of putting up-the Butter. As a further encouragement to competitors, an opportunity will be afforded on Wednesday, the day of the Cattle Show, to sell their Butter at public auction at Brighton, without expence of Auctioneer's fees when the most liberal prices may be expected for good butter it being a subject of general complaint that prime butter, except in small quantities, is rare in Boston market, while it is well known that in other cities, and particularly. Philadelphia, the market is daily and abundantly supplied with butter of the finest flavour, put up in the nicest manner. The State premiums for the same article will be awarded as usual at the same time. Application to enter for the premium of one hundred dollars must be made to Jonathan Winship, Esq.

the State House to seek an asylum in some other place. Preferring quietJy to suffer the ungentlemanly abuse than to contend for a right which honourable gentlemen would have blushed to deny them, they repaired to the Court House; but finding that not one-fourth of the number could there be accommodated they repaired to the Meetinghouse, when it was ascertained, by calling the names of the Delegates that one hundred and seventy mem" hers of the Convention, friends and supporters of the administration, were present. The whole number of Delegates is 229. Thus did the boasted Jackson majority in the Convention, when brought to the test of truth, dwindle down to a puny and insignificant minority. Of this mi-irority it is ascertained that one half at least represented towns with large and decided majorities, in favor of the re-election of John Quincy Adams, the man of worth and talents and deservedly the popular, cardidate of the people of Vermont.

"It is a fact 'worthy of notice, that no Jess than four hundred and fifty freemen, friends of the administration, including the 170 delegates, attended at the Meetinghouse, and this, too, without previous concert, or any other notice thari was given from one to another in the space of an hour through our little village. The result of the two meetings on Friday last, tell well for the interests of our state and country, and for the prospects of the administration among the Green Mountains and fertile vales of Vermont. The assemblage, the proceedings, and the results at the Meetinghouse, were all that the friends of civil liberty and the most warm hearted friends of the administration could hope or desire. It was indeed, a' triumph of candour and principle, over intrigue and deception. While the Jack-sonians, with a zeal and confusion perfectly characteristic of their leaders and their cause, were thundering their anathemas from the place they had usurped in the hall of legislation, with a band of boys not yet in their teens, furnished with ammunition to echo their charges of corruption from the muzzle of an infant field piece the friends of the administration, assembled in the house of worship with the venerable republican, His Hon.

Lieut. Gov. Olin, in the chair, were invoking the blessing of Heaven upon their beloved country. While the Rev. and venerable Benjamin Wooster, with the holy fervour of piety and patriotism, was addressing the throne of grace, we could not but feel that his desires were the effusions of the same warm heart and patriotic soul that volunteered at the call of his country in the hour of its peril, and at the request of liis congregation placed himself at their head as commander, and led them to Plattsburgh to the enemy and to victory.

Every movement at the meeting was made with the utmost unanimity and cordial feeling. The resolutions are firm, yet. temperate; and their approval, though spontaneous and unanimous, was cool and deliberate. The. meeting was severally addressed, on the subject of the resolutions, by the Chairman, by Hon.

Robert Pierpoint, Hon. Hutchinson, Horace Everett, Hon. D. Azro A. Buck and William Jarvis, Esq.

We will not adopt the usual style of panegyric and say, "in an eloquent and impressive manner" the intense interest of a listening auditory is the best evidence of a speaker's success and the very unexpected number of the friends of freedom and of the administration that assembled on the occasion, considering the very short notice that was'given, "affords an unfailing pledge" that the triumph of correct principles, in Vermont at least, is certain. But let us not be inactive our enemies are "all eye, all ear, all attention." While we avoid their virulence let us imitate their vigilance and defeat their designs. Watchman.

It might never have been offered to the public, had hot this gentleman found that his own cure was not accidental, from tho fact that in the numerous cases in which ho recommended it to others, it never failed to give relief.

Washington, 24th May, 1S2S. Dear Sir 9 The variety in their modes of attack, and the industry of rrr enemies are 'remarkable, if not always commendable. I observe that some of them about Lex-Jngton have carefully searched the records of Fayette, and extracted from them a most formidable list of mortgages which are paraded as evidence of my bankruptcy. The fairness of this proceeding, in my absence, on arduous public service; and without enquiry into the fact whether the mortgages be extinguished or not, is submitted to my fellow citizens of Fayette. I do not consider that a man who honestly fulfils his pecuniary engagements, entitled to any special praise, or I would not observe, that I can confidently appeal to all with whom I ever had pecuniary transactions, to bear testimony to the fidelity with which I have discharged mine.

I invite the severest scrutiny into my conduct, in that respect, and request a comparison of it with that pf any one of those who now assail me. I never was sued in my life for an uncontested debt indeed I have no rocollection, at-this time, of having ever been sued for any ascertained debt, contested or uncontested, and whether I was principal or endorser. There is one important trait in the public character of General Jackson to which we have never before called the attention of our readers. By the treaty with the Indians at Fort Jackson, the General, who was the n-gociator on the part of the United States, reserved to himself yes, the Indians granted to himself, personally a fine tract of land of ten miles square. The Senate rejected this article in the treaty.

The ancient Cincinna-tus owned but four acres, and would not suffer-either the Senate or the People to add a sinsle rood to his little tenement. The mo-dern already possessing great plantations and many slaves, did not like it very well that the Spnate would not suffer him to add a neat little Indian farm of ten miles square to his already extensive and opulent possessions. A singular set of men inhabit the town ofPenn Yan in the interior of Nevy York.
