In this posture of affairs, it was evident that uponthe course which should be pursued by Mr. Clay, and his friends in theHouse, depended the question who should be elected President. As Mr. Crawford, on account of the critical state of his health, was consideredout of the question, Mr. Clay was left to choose between Mr. Adams andGen. Jackson. In this posture of affairs, Mr. Clay saw, that however patriotic theprinciples on which he acted, and however pure the motives by which hemight be gover...ned in making his selection, he must inevitably exposehimself to the severest animadversions from the defeated party. But he didnot hesitate, in the discharge of what he believed to be a solemn duty heowed his country, to throw his influence in behalf of the man whom hebelieved the best fitted to serve that country in the responsible officeof the presidency. Long before it had been foreseen such a contingencywould occur, he had expressed his want of confidence in the ability andfitness of Gen. Jackson for the executive chair.
