After waiting several weeks, to see what the in
genuty of the combination presses could devise to
shield Gen. jackson, from the effects Of his late |
terrible discontinue, the REPUBLICAN at length VEN
lures forth.
Having taken SO long time to consider the sub |
ject, and prepare his essav it is presumed that the
defence is made up with all possible care, and is the
best the case will admit Of.
Four points are made, two of which are primarily
lmportant-the others consequential. The two
first we propose to consider; Whether Gen. Jack
son is not the public accuser of Mr.. Clay.
That Cen Jackson's statements are substantiated
by Mr.. Buchanan.
the first And here we beg leave to ask what
would amount to public accusation, on the part Of
Gen. Jackson Is it necessary to bring the matter
home to him, that we should prove that the General
himself on the highest of the Appalachian mountains
in the voice OF Boanerges proclaimed the guilty pro-
position made to him. Common sense must decide
this matter. What did Gen. Jackson do First
the first publication of the charge must have come
from him.-From whom else could it come The
story was in circulation-wdely spread. The po.
son was working in the public veins, that corrupt
proposition for bargain had been made by Mr. Clay
to Gen. Jackson. 1t was wide and broadly spread.
The difficulty was to bring it home to Gen. Jackson.
