Trend Mr. GeoFge Kremer, in his letter to a.,
Columbian Observer, bearing date the o5ti,
January, has, according to my recollection Of

the ilrsf, or among the first, to announce to the
public my intended vote. That letter was frst
published at Philadelphia and returned in the
columbian Observer to Washington Citv on
me 5lst January. How long before it's date
that letter was written for Mr.. Kremer, it loss
not appear Whether there be any conuexion

a! -" End Of more than two years after a
corrupt overture Is made to Gen jackson. he
now ior the first time openly proclans it. It
tIne' as have ascertained since the publ
cation OF Mr.. Beverly's Fayetteville letter the
General has been for long time secretly cir
culating the charge. Immediately on the an
Pearance OF Washington of that letter in tie
pubic prints, the editor of the Telegraph as
serted, IN his paper, that Gen. Jackson had
communicated the overture to him about the
period Of the election, not as he now states
but according to MIR. BeTerlys version of the
tale. Since left Washington, on the 10Th nj
last month, have understood that Gen. Jack
son had made a similar communication TO sey-
59rsf tire rrsurr ri,vu
destinely circulated? Was it that, through
the medium of the Telegraph, the leading pd-
per supporting the interest of Gen. Jackson
and throug h his other Repositories, the belief
of the charge should be daily and gradually in
fused into the public mind, and thus contribute
to the support of his cause The zeal and in
dustry with which it has been propogated, the
caily columns of certain newspapers can testi-
fy. Finding the public still unconyincet, has
the General found it TO be necessary to come
out IN proper person, through the thin veil OF
Alr. Carter Beverlys agency?
When the alleged overture was made the.
election renained undecided. EYhv did NOV
| Gen. Jackson then hold up to universal scor,
and indignation the infamous bearer Of the nro-
posals and those who dared to Insult his bono-
and tamper with his integrity ? If he had, a.
Iha' time, denounced all the infamous parties

ON the 7th Of that month, two 6ays before The,

must have u more than an ordinary share OF

son labors under some extraordinary delusionr
1t is possible that he may urge, by way of
excuse for what must be deemed his culpable
concealment of meditated corruption, that he
did not like to volunteer as a witness before
the committee, or to transmit to it the name OF
his friend, the distinguished Member of the
House of Representatives,, although it is not
very easy 80 discern any just reason for his
volunteering now, which would not have APP
piled with more force at that time But what
apology can be made for his failure to discharge
his sacred duty as am American Senator ?
. More than two months after the alledged over
Z ture, my nomination to the office which now

States, Of which General jackson was then
sworn member. On that nomination. he had
