The election approached and the rumor prevailed
That you aud your friends were 10 elect Mr.. Adams

MI hTerpers letter 1t found its way into The news
papers. With Characteristic boldneos, YOU deter
mined TO meet il and bully it uiij of cuuntenancc
Hence your Cad, in which you pronounced the
charge false and promised 10 fl .h' the author. But
Mr.. KIemer too plain mln to be treated III

YOU demanded an inv estiga alton Leiore the House
The bargain not then executed; Mr.. Adams
was elected aud you had not receiv ed the pro-
missed office; the principal evidences of The or
arrangement were In your own bosom and among
your own friends, Inaccessible 10 your sccuser.-
lie therefore prudeniy declined the investigation
fcaving you TO execute your bargain and trusting
TO lime aud circumstances to Disclose the truth To
the people. On your part, this was a piece o.
that bold management OF which you perfect
master.
Tbs charge was measuTably put down, and you
were left in the quiet enjoyment Of the Object Of
your ambition. Blu, time has discl. sed many cir
cumsiances, and conviction was extending in the
country, that The election OF Mr.. Adams had been
carried by means approaching to corruption. o..
your way to kentucky lat summer, you found &C.
CASTOR for another piece OF management. All
Wheeling you learnt that letter was in town
from General jackson detailing An interview be-
tween him and Mr.. Bu hsnan, and drawing tie in
ference that Mr. Buchanan hsd acted with dHec
authority from you or your friends You knew
the whole history OF the transaction better ihan
General Jackson DID, aud you knew, that Nh. Blu
chanan would not support that inference. You
therefore lie ermined make desperate effort 60
TEST the controversy on that single point. Eog
took 20 procure a copy of General Jack on's
letter without the leave OF writer receiver,
threw it before the public, asserted that Jackson
had charged you with being privy TO the cowmuni-
cation from Buchanan, which he never dill, called
him your public accuser, which be never was, and
den.el The whole bargain il phrase a. c0mPrehsn-
s.ve as ingenuity could frame You turned pubic
accuser srd public sbuserol the General and IN ade
liim the burden Of many dinner speeches, violent
enough TO shame The most indiscreet act ever at
tfibnted 10 HIM.
To al this, ue Gene . replied with as much
cnolness as be would have done a summons tor
the surrender oi New Orleans. h1r. Buchanan inn
az sdlaely Tejoined and although he substantially
confirmed every material point v, hich Jackson had
ASSERTED fsc' he negalyed his Inference precise
iy as you anticipated. instantly, as If bY precOn

your scQUittsl and declare, the authority ol this
slight circumstance, that you are proved 20 be IN
nocent, not ocly Of making proposition TO Cen
Jackson, but Of making a bargain with Mr.. Ad-
ans! admit, that it proves you did not make
direct proposition to General Jackson through Mr..
buchanan; bu, it no more eXculPates you from
king di eet bargain with MIR. Adams than il
proves rhom,s JeGssson TO have been friendly TO
your administration.
Your boil denial and curft'ng effort to rest the
whole cause Gen. JACKSON Inference was, 3D.

very holiness of your denial and your notorious
ihilstics to the General, have excited spirit OF
