judges apart from prejudice and Partially, in what
pa rticuiar have abused Mr.. Beveriy's confidence!
All who will take the trouble to read Mr. Bever-
Tvs letter to me, before referred to, will perceive
that he voluntarily made tender of General Jack
sons letter, and must have calculated that would
submit it to Mr. Clay for the purpose of obtaining
his sentiments upon it, and as it g was public mat.
tcr,s' did not pTopriety and fair dealing require
that Mr.. Clay should have copy of the charges
which " awaited his denia.' In addition to his
written accusations, Mr.. Beverly asserts that |
committed a breach of confidence by permitting
Mr.. Clay even to see the General, letter. The
absurdty of this is so glarrs that it requires no
comment to render it more 50. MIR. Beverly fur
Their complains that Gen. Jackson's letter was at
once given up by me to the unlimited use and a.
buse of MIR. Clay and his partisans." This is a
sheer Misrepresentation. The letter was given up
to Mr.. Clay alone, and read by no one else, until
it was given to my relation to be copied MIR. Be-
verify speaks of the many over lures which he fan
cies made to him, to induce complete re-
Cancellation with MIR. Zane. This ls mentioned
for TIE purpose Of sustaining ridiculous assertion.

what am now extremely sorry for. That is. sor-
ry for having submitted the letter to Mr.. Clay.
and given him copy of it. This statement has
not the shadow Of truth or probability to support il
From the time received Gen. Jackson's letter,
up to the moment Of sending the copy to Mr.. Clay,
| had consulted no person. nor had received the
advice of any one All did from the commence
ment to the termination, was my own act, and am
alone responsible for it. 80 lar from beng sorry
for what did, my most deliberate Judgment ap
proves of il, and under the same circumstances,
would do the like again, and confidently appeal to
the public for the correctness OF ms conduct.
But MIR. Beverly has obtained some new lights
as to my conduct in this transaction. How else
can account for his change Of language in regard
to my agency il this matter? The following GER
ticaes shew, that after he had been fully appised
Df what occurred at my house, he expressed his
satisfaction with the course had pursued; yet in
4 few days after, he writes the letter to General |
Green which have been reviewing. In one par
cular, am aware, that in the eyes ot the u0riia4

ented Cen Jackson's letter to Mr. Clay. Had
his gossip been present, peradventure, We should |
