In the House, the day was speiitaltriost en-

On Wednesday, Thursrlay, and Frida_v,the
Senate were engaged on the bill for the-.<up-

On Wednesday and Thursday the House
was occupied in considering the rules for the

A note had that rirririiing appeared in the Nat.

ted "his conduct, in regard to the pending
Presidential election; and the respectability
of the station which the inemberholtls, who
‘thus openly prefers them, and that oftlre peo-

be rvere capable, and base enough, to betray
the solemn trust which the Coirstittttion had
confided to him ; if. yielding to personal
views and consideratious,lre coultl coniprouiit
the highest interests of his countr_v,the House
would be scaud.'-ilizerl by his coritintlirig touc-
cupy the chair with which he had been so
long honored in presiding at its deliberations,
and he merited instantaneous expulsion.
Without, lrowever,presutiring toirulicate what
the House might conceive it ought to do, on
account of its own prrrity and lronoi-,lre hoped
that he slrorild be allowed respectfully to still-
cit, in hehalfof himself, an inquiry into the
truth of the cliarv_~r:s to which be referred.—
Standing iu.the rclatioris to the House, which
both tlrcnieniber lroru Pennsylvania 8:. liirn-
selfdid, it appeared to him that here was the
proper place to institute the inquiry, in order
that, if guilty, herctlie proper punishrnerit
rniglit be applied, and, ifiririoceiit, that here
his clfarracter and conduct may be vindicated.
Ile anxiously hoped, tliercforc,tlr:rt the House
uould be pleascrl to direct an investigation to

ating from the source wliicli they did,this was
, the only notice which he could take oftheni.

The Prcsidrancg/.—'Sor'ne articles that may
he found below will ‘give our readers to tiri-
derstaud that the Hon. Henry Clay has pub-
licly and very decirlerl-ly espoused the cause
of Mr.Adan‘.s, and will rise all his influence
in securing for lriui the Presidential Cliair.——
'I‘liis-urovernent on the part of Mr. Clay has
prodticed a high degree of excitenicut auiong
the partizans of the other cariditlates, and, as
was to have been expected, has brought down
upon his head the most bitter‘ reproaches.—
His conduct arirl motives have been arraign-
ed in l:-rnguagc the most i'eprr.-lieusible and
prrivolting; he has been accused of being
actuaterl by tiiere selfish corisitleratious, and
of tlesertiug and betraying his principles and
friends; and all this by those very persons
it-Ito have long been striviug,by adulation and
flattery, and every other means in their pt)\v-
er, ‘to gain him over to their party, and se-
r'Ul‘C his co-operation in their designs. To a
man offcelings less warm than Mr. Clay is
known to possess, such treatment must liave
seemed base and urigenerotls in the highest
tlegrce, and deserving oftbe severest rebuke:
tl()MwtJl’l(lel‘ then, that, in view of all the cir-
ctrriistarieesoftlie case, and gnarled on by the
notitirrrierl and repeated accusations ofhis ca-
lruriiiiators, “ the lion oftlie west”sliould have
risen iutlignantly from his lair,and with“ eyes
flaslririg‘ fir‘e”con.viirced his pursuers that be is
neither to be trifled witli rio_r insultt=d'witli im-
punity. But as we are not the advocates of
those pririciples which sonre rueii call thelaws
of/zonor, we ninst be permitted to say that
however just may be the cause ofMr. Clay at
this criticaljunctrirc, be has, in our view, a-
dopted the worst possible method ofdefend-
ing it ; and we know that otrr readers will ‘a-
gree with its when they have read arirl reflect-
ed upon the following paragrapli, which ap-
peared irithewaslririgtorr papers ofllre lst inst.
A CARD.-—-I have seen, without airy other
emotion than that of irieffalile "contempt, the
abuse which has been poured out upon me by
a scurrilous paper, isstretl in this city, and by
other kindred priritsand persons, in regard to
the Presirleiitial Itllection. The. editor‘ of one
of those prints. usliercd forth in Philadelpliia,
called the Colurubian Observer, for which I
do not stibscribe, and which I have not order-
ed, has had the irnptidcrrce to transniit to me
his vile paper of the 28th instant.‘ In that
number is inserted a letter, purporting to have
been written from this city, on the Q5lll inst.
by a meruber oftbe. Iltirtse ofRepresentatives,
bclongitig to the Pcnusylvariia delegation.—-
Ibelieve it to be a forgery ; btit, ifit be genu-
ine, I pronounce the member, whoever he
may be, a base and infamous calumnizitor,
dastard arirl a liar; and if he dare unveilliirn-
selfand avow his riatne, 1 will hold lritri re-
spousible, as I here admit niyselfto be, to all
the laws which govern and regulate the cou-
dnct of men ofliouour. H. CLAY.
The following is a copy oftlie letter from a
rneniber of the Ilorrsc ofRepreseutatives for.
Pennsylvania, addressed to the Editor of the
Cohrnibian Observer‘, to which the ‘ Card’ of
Mr. Clay alludes-
\VAsrii.\'c'roN, Jan. 9.5, 13%.’.
“Dear Sz'r———I take up my pen to inform
yoti ofoue,,oftlre most disgraceful transactions
that ever covered with infamy the Republican
Ranks. Vlfotrlrl you believe that men profes-
sing Democracy, could be found base enough
to lay the axe at the very root oftbe tree of
Liberty ? Yet stran_ge as it is, it is not less
true. To give you a full history ofthis traits-
action would far exceed the liruits ofa letter.
I shall, therefore, at once proceed to give you
a brief account ofstrcli a ha r'g.tin as can only
he equalled by the famous Burr conspiracy of
l30I. For some tirrie past, the friends of
Clay have hinted that they, like the Swiss,
would figlit for those who would pay best.-
Overtures were said to have been uiade by
the friends of Adams to the friends of Clay,
offering him the appoiutrucut of Secretary of
the State, for his aid to elect A:lauis. And the
friends ofClay gave this iriforrriation to the
friends of Jackson, and hinted that if the
friends ofJ-acksou would offer the satire price,
they would close with them. Brit none oftbe
friends of Jackson would descend to such
mean barter and sale. It was not believed
by any oftbe friends of Jackson, that this
contract would be ratified by the members ft‘.
the states who had voted for Mr. Clay.
I was ofopiirion when I first heard ofthis
transaction, that. men professing any honora-
ble priuciple, corild not, nor would not, be
transferred like th-.2 planter does his negroes,
or the farmer his team arirl horses. No alarm
was excited-——we believed the Republic was
sutfe. The nation having delivered Jackson
intr. the hands ofCongress, backed by a large
uiajority of their votes, there was on my rriirid
no doubt that Congress would respond to the
will of the Nation, by electing the individual
they had declared to be their choice. Con-
trary to this expectation, it is now ascertained
to a certainty, that Henry Clay has transfer-
red his interest to John Quincy Adams. As:
a consideration for this abztndouiiient ofdtity
to his constituents, it is said and believed,
should this unholy coalition prevail, Clay is
to be appointed Secretary of State. I have
no fears on my rnirid——l. arii clearly of 0-
piuiorr we shall defeat every corubiuatiori.—-
'I‘lre force of public opinion rnust prevail, or
there isan end of Liberty.”
F..'<tr:ict ofa letter from a YV:-tsliington cor-
respondent of the N. Y. Spectator written on
the ".17tlrofJ:rrrtiary, 3:15 :—“ It is now certrrin
that r\lr.Clay and all his friends /trzvc_/brutally
gone over lo the .drlrurrsslaru1arrl. Tire knowl-
edge ofthis event has produced a strong sen-
sation tlirougliout all the political circles. and
given intensity to the contest. ‘ The Jackson
interest begin to beslir themselves, and ad-
vauces are made between the General &3 the
Secretary oftbe Treasriry,--—tlius will person-
at and long cherished hatred borv itself to the
mandates of ambition. The Hall of Repre-
sentatives resembled a bechive,wlieu the bees
are preparing to swarm, the next morning
after the Cl:iy movement was known; the
lirini of voices ,couversiug in an under tone
was like the sound oftbe ocean before a garli-
ering storm. All the avenues and sofas were
filled with groups, telling or iuq_.uiring the
news, and calculating the coriseq;trerrc'es.
Some say all doubt is now over; others still
predict a long struggle. It is ctirious to ob-
serve the new grotipjng of faces : men who
were seldom seen together, are nbtv arrii-in- f
arm,or busily wh_i’s’pering over letters or news-
paper articles. M'r. Clay appears cheerful,
talks mucli,jand has the air ofa man relcived
from a— buiden. Mr. Crawford came this
morning to the Hall, 25: r’emain'ed there riiore
than an hour. He looks better thari was_ex-
pected by any one, and tho’ there is :1 slight
appearance of defect about his sight, and his
step is not firm and elaslic,_lie appears in per-
fcct health. His friends Jiocked about lirtn,
and there was a great shaking of hands. He
coriversed coristaiitly, and though grave-, ‘ap-
peared animated by the interview. Mr. Clay
came up to him and talked for some time.
_The National Journal, in defending Mr.
Clay from the aspersions cast upon him for
espousing the cause of M r. Adams, say_s—-
“ He owed it to the high standing which he
has so long and so houourably maintained a-
mong his fellow-citizens ; to that maply and
honest intrepidity of patriotism ‘Which has
characterized his whole political career; not
to remain silent, on a question which so deep-
ly involves the interests, the honour, and the
happiness of his country. ‘Too frank and
candid for conce:-rluient, too hottest for lry-
pocrisy, tVIr. Clay, when asked by ft‘len_d Of
foe, to declare his sentiments, has not lresilat-
ed to do so, with the openness and freedom
ofa rrian of honor. His seutirigerits, as avow-
ed, have shown him to be the same indepen-
dent, liberal, and enlightened politician, who
has so often "electrified us with his eloquence
‘on the greatquestiorrs of national interest, and
who has so often carried with birn the voice
oftbe people, even when the Government it-
self was opposed to lririi.”
Mr. Clay, it is said, has taken ground for
liimself,frorn independerit and national views,
without reference t-,o sectional clamors or par-
tialities, and for no selfish motive, or object
of self-aggrandizernent. In regard to Mr.
Crawfortl, without wishing to detract from
his merits in the smallest degree, it is urged
that he ‘has suffered so severely utrderthe dis-
pcnsations of Providerice as, at least, to reti-
tler it doribtftil whether those who wish well
to him or to the eotttitry, ought to desire to
see him placed in a situation which requires
the full-exercise of unimpaired faculties.’-
Of course it could not be expected ofMr. C.
to support him. The choice being thus lim-
ited to two-—the one a soldier, and the other a
Slatesmaiz-—-it became necessary for Mr. Clay
to ruuke his selection like a slalcsnirin. ‘Be-
sides, Mr. Clay had publicly, in the face of
the world, denounced this soldier as a military
despot, regardless alike oftlie sacred barriers
oflaw and litrrnaoity. He. owed it to his lrori-
our, to sirirzerity, and consistency ofcliaracter;
therefore, it is urged. not to be Illslflllllelllill
in raising a man, of vrliorn he Lari thus openly
spoken, to the highest office in the repub’l'rc.’
Hence, as a matter ofcotirse under strcli cir-
cririistarices, M r. Clay could do no otherwise
than support Mr. Adams, of whose talents,
experience, and._ other qualifications for the
exalted trust, there can be no doubt.
The mail nflist eveiiinglrrough't IN the fol-
lovririg. By our Congress news it will be seen
that Mr. Clay has laid the whole affair before
Congress; and from a passage in his remarks
it "appears that he does not consider the
source from whence the charges emarraterl, as
sufliciently honorable to be worthy of further
notice from him.
.0220!/zer Card.—George. Kramer, of the
House ofRepresentatives,tcntlers his respects
to the Honorable ‘ H. Clay.’ and informs him
that, by reference to the editor oftlie Colum-
bian Observer, he may ascertain the name of
the writer ofa letter of the 25th ult., which,
it seems, has afforded so rriticlr concern to ‘ H.
Clay :’ in the meantime Geo. Kreuier holds
liiriiself ready to prove, to the satisfaction of
unprejudiccd minds, enough to satisfy them
oftlre accuracy of the stateriicnts which are
contained in that letter,to the extent that they
concern the courseand corrdtict of‘ 1-]. Clay.’
Being :1 Representative oftlre People, he will
not fear to “cry aloud and spare not,” when
their privileges are at stake.
The rumorirs which have been in circula-
tiori of I\.lr..Clay’s being shot in :1 duel are
unfounded ‘
T0-lti‘t rrow will commence the mighty
struggle which is to decide the long debated
qtrestion of “ who shall be otir next Presi-
dent?” The rules which govern this election
are these : Upon the roll oftbe lrorise being
called, and it appearing that a member or
nterirbers frotn two thirds of_the states ‘are
present, the house will proceed to a ballot,
and if no person has a majority oftlie whole
riiuiiber ofvotes, the ballottiugs will continue,
without interruption of other business, until a
President be chosen. No motion to arljnurn,
or to alter the time ofnieetiug to be received,
trnless on the motion of one-state secoriderl by
another. A ballot box is to be provided for
each state. and after the vote ofeacli state is
ascertained,duplicates thereof are to be made
out, arirl the name oftlie person having a ma-
jor'ity oftlie votes endorsed upon each: ifno
person has a niajorityof the votes of any
state, their the word DIVIDED is to be written
on the (luplic-ates. After this is grlone the
Ser'gearit-at-Arnis is to present two ballot.
boxes to the delegation of each state, in each
of which one oftlrese duplicates is to be de-
posited, aud then these boxes are to be carri-
ed to different tables and there counted, by
tellers appointed for_the purpose, one teller
licirig appointed frotn each state. 'VVheu the
votes are counted the result is to be coriirrititi-
icated to the house, and if the "reports agree
they are to be accepted ; if not a new ballot
rirust be taken. "
In.’.crnpcrance.—'l‘lie last Bridgeport papers
give trs a most melancholy statement oftbe
effects ofiriteruperauc_e,iri the case ofa father
and his son in New Fairfreld, oftbe riarue of
Brush, who on the 18th tilt. had a very violent.
quarrel, while, asit would seerii fr. the state-
ments, under the influerice of the intoxicating
drauglit.- After some previous altercation it
is said the father armed liiriiself with a gun,
and stationing himself without the door sent
a tnessage to his son by his daughter, that he
was ready/for hiyn; ripon which the 50!] went
out, and was rriet by the old man who twice
snapped his gun at him, but without effect.-—
A, struggle then ensued, in which the son re-
ceived several wounds, some of which it was
feared would prove mortal : the father was
also much cut. After thefray, two butcher
knives and a pike were found where the quar-
rel took place. It is said the old man has
been committed to the jail in Daitbury.

On the éfitlr tilt. the Presirient, Sec’ry of
Navy, 3 or 4 naval officers, and several merri-
bers of Congress, paid it visit to the N. Caro-
lina, 74, lying in the Potomac. They were
rec’d on board in a very handsome manner,
and tlien proceeded to visit every part of that
very elegant ship, and were most agreeably‘
surprised at the order and ueatness which
prevailed in every part. After examining
every thing worthy of notice, (among the N35?
the library ofl I00, vols.purchased by the con-
tributiotis ofthe officers and crew,) witnessing
the adroitness oftbe seamen in manning llre
yards, and attending to an excellent sermon
from the chaplain, they sat down to a sump‘-
tuotis dinner. Al 5 o’clock they returned on
shore highly gratilirsd with their visit. The N.
Carolina is the finest ship of her class. She
mounts 90 guns, and is pierced for 109. The
uuniber of her officers and crew is 960.
