70 10 eyilianation on the part OF Eneisnd.--
But The rlalter does not depend on inference
]. appeals to demonstration contained In the
leitcritsclf.A
i sad above that Jackson took this offen-
siye grouRd of argument, and attempted to
make 1t out by chain OF circums,ances--
Let us sec what those circumstances were,
and particularly what were his differences
from them, and then let inidelity itself doubt,
ii 1t can, Of the insult.
He begins with the circumstances, that
previous TO the letter Of Mr. Smith, which he
was answering, hc had not heard lisp Of
complaint as to the disavowal, on the part of
the American government, that no trace of
any cause could be found on the records
kept by Mr. Ersklne, that mono had been in
timatcd even verbally to him in his conieren-
ces with our government. Here he pauses
% notify Mr.. Smith Of the inference he de-
duces from this circumstance. 1t is,--that
Mr.. Smith must have thought it unreasona-
bile 10 complain of the disavowal. Why
Because Mr.. Smith must have known the
disasowal would take place. How know
that Because he knew that the circum-
stances were such as must produce that re-
suit. Then 10 shew that he had right To
make this inference from this silence ON this
subject, he goes on TO shew what these cir
cumstances were. 1t is not material TO no.
,ticc but two OF them, as these two form. the
basis oil his conclusion. The first is, that
the conditions prescribed TO Mr. Erskine,
were Communicated to our government,
though the despatch containing them was
not, which latter circumstance, however, he
considers as making no difference, as we
shall presently see. The other essential cir
cumstance is that Mr.. Smith himself subsfi-
tuted the arrangement that was madc for
tire one that Mr.. Lrskine was authorized to
make. Substitution implies knowledge of
the thing for which the substitution was
made, GO Mr.. Jackson understood it, for
he says, I" the very act of substitution evident
ly shcws that those original conditions were
in fact very explicitly communicated to you,
and by you OF course laid before the Prcsi-
dent for his consideration" Indeed in this
case it implied more, it implied that Smith
colludcd with or duped Mr.. Erskine, unless
we admit jackson's contemptuous apology
for them, that thcys might have concluded,
that there was no essential difference between
the substitute and the conditions prescrib-s
ed ;--though in the next breath, he tells Mr..
Saith thatthc difference is so glaring as to
admit of no elucidation. These are his pre-
misses; now attcndto his conclusions. From
these circumstance NC irfcrs, that Mr.. Smith
must have thought its unreasonable to COM
plain of the Edisavowal, because from the
same circumstances he mustShave knQ@n it
would take place. Aud -&renas fhis abseHse of
complaint, nc iafcrs an almissien by our GOV
crnrhent that the same circumstances gave
