| Though we discover nothing material IN General
Jackson's letter, which we publish to day. that is
not generally known, we will not SO far initiate the
conduct of the Combination" as to excu''e it, as
they very wisely excluded Mr.. Clay's speech at
Lexington on the 18th Of July. We, therefore.
publish it in extent that the General and his friends
may have all the benefit which they can derive from

The General, it seems, says that his letter to Car

or wish" We have no doubt Of this, and believe
that he will have yet more cause to resretit.

they on seeing the original, took copy Of it. Tn
der the same circumstances. the Generals friends,
without doubt, would have acted otherwise THEY
would have seen the "chefialn," year after year,
accused of corruption, and when letter was pre-
scented to their inspection, entering into some par
ticulars, giving names, and circumstances, would
not, for the universe, have taken copy OF such
letter This is all likely aud natural
Mr.. Buchanan, it appears was the man who adj
yised the General to to as he is made to say others
we're doing. This gentleman, who voted tor Gene
raj Jackson in the House OF Representatives and
was a partisan of his at the time, will speak Tor
himselfi in few days. He will either not conrin
the Generals statement or, confirming it, must
be as completely Frustrated as the Combination
wish to see Messrs Adams and Clay.
The General, itseens, forgot or did not choose 10
