Excerpt from A Supplement to the Address of Henry Clay to the Public, Which Was Published in December, 1827: Exhibiting Further Evidence in Refutation of the Charges Against Him, Touching the Last Presidential Election Made by Gen. Andrew Jackson In my Address of December last to the Public, in relation to the charges against me, concerning the last Presidential Election, which originated with General Andrew Jackson and some of his friends, I stated that I had been disappointed in the receipt of some testimony which I had expected; and that, if I should subsequently obtain it, I would present it to the Public. I accordingly received several statements from different gentlemen, some of which were communicated without solicitation. Deeming them highly important, I present them to the Public in this Supplement, without a single comment. I offer only the following explanation: Part I. Exhibits the statements of Messrs. William Sample, Isaac Bennett, the Rev. A. Wylie, John Keel, Cuthbert T. Jones, and J. U. Waring. Upon perusing them, in connexion with statements on the same subject which I formerly published, the Public will be able to judge of the accuracy of General Jackson´s assertion, that "the origin - the beginning of this matter," [the charge of bargain,] "was at my own house and fireside, where surely a freeman may be permitted to speak on public topics, without having ascribed to him improper designs." Part II. Consists of the statements of Messrs. George Robertson and Charles S. Todd, of Kentucky, and Daniel Vertner and A. W. Wooley, of Mississippi, and B. S. Forrest, of Maryland; the four former narrating conversations between other gentlemen and me, long antecedent to the late Presidential Election, in which I freely expressed my opinion respecting Mr. Adams and General Jackson.
