The National Republican And Ohio Political Register

More Comfort for the "Ohio Federalist."

Adams, Clay & Co. versus Charles Hammond. The following rebuke of the celebrated manufacturer of letters from Washington, appears in the Steubenville Herald of the 15th instant, where we presume it is inserted "advisedly," and "by authority," as that paper supported the pretensions of Henry Clay to the Presidency, and is one of the publishers of the U. S. laws in Ohio:

A letter, purporting to have been written by a gentleman in Washington City, to his friend in Cincinnati, dated Feb. 20, in which several of the old and prominent members of the republican party are vilified and abused, has been copied from the Cincinnati Gazette into several other newspapers. The writer, no doubt, supposed that it would be pleasing to the administration to have such men as the postmaster general, J. B. Thomas, R. M. Johnston, Col. Benton, &c. exhibited in a ridiculous light to the people. In this the writer has found himself mistaken, as appears by the following paragraph from the National Journal of the 28th ultimo:

"Not doubting the malignity of the famous manufacturer of a certain letter from this place to the west, so far as it is pointed against the Postmaster General, an extract of which is given in the Telegraph, as in some way connected with the Nashville appointment, [of a postmaster] we had resolved to let it pass into that speedy oblivion to which it is destined. We speak ADVISEDLY on this subject, when we say, that the administration stands in no need of the efforts of this masked enemy. If he be sincere, his hostility is less to be dreaded than his friendship."
