But - had promised AIr. q. a copy before had
an ilea that il wovli be objected to, & he had LEFT
my house under an expectation that il wonld b,

mise 1T the letter had related to family or pri-
waite concefns, Just cenSuie would have attached 10
me tor permitting copy TO be taken under any
circuins,ances but az MIR Beverley treated il i'm the
light o! public document, inv diving the honor and
Character OF the government and country, and on
y waited the denial of MIR. Clay when the
whole sublsct viii be brought to ISSUE before the
public how could otherwise thsn infer his de-
sire hat Mr.. Clay should be fully possessed of the
contents OF the =itet previously to his ccfession
or denial OF the charges ii contained and how was
he TO be 80 pressed without being furnished with
copy! After copies had been taken of both letters
they were compared, and the gentlsm.n who had
Transcribed BeyeTey's letter to me, appended GER
nhcate that II was true copy, and 1 subscribed
1t, under the impression that IT barely certified a.
10 the he ity oil The copy. My Intention was to
certify at to the truth of the copy taken and wh.-
'her General jackson's leurI was stated t. have
neen enclosed IN, or announced by Beverley's Lett
tel To me, Is surely matter OF no conse,,.e,ce
MIR Beverley in his letter published in the Tel
graph, before alluded to, complains that te con-
iidence he fepossd IN me abused and asserts
that my age and intirmiiy prevented him IRON,
advancing further ioith h.sn IN the business

my senior by many years advanced further with
me, II Is unnecessary Doyv TO say would ask
not Mr.. Bevsiiey, but any gentlemen who THINKS
correctly, and judges apart from prejudice and
par,iaiiy, IN what particular have abused Mr.
! DeveIiey's confidence! All who will take the
trouble 10 read Mr. Beveiiey's letter TO me- before
referred TO, will perceive that he voluntarily made
tender OF General jsckson's letter, and mus,
nave calculated that would submit il L. Mr.
Clay foI the purpose of obtaining his sentiments
upon 1t, and AZ II Z" was oil public NATTER did
not proPrety and fair dealing require that Mr.. C.
should have copy OF the charges which ..await ed
hs deais.' 10 addition TO his written accusa
lions, Mr.. Beverly asserts that I committed =
breach y! confidence By permitting Mr. CLAW even
10 bee the Generals letter The sbsurdi,y of ,iis
IL 30 garinS that il requires no comi,ert TO reo.
Ger 1t more so. MIR. Beverles fu Their complains
That Cen Jacksons letter was at once piven ~, nv

many oyeI'eres which he fGRcieS were made TO
him, 10 induce complete reconciliation with Mr.
Zane This Is mentioned for the purpose of sus-
tanning ridiculous ssss ton, that was wtoupb.
upon most ins'diCusiy TO do what am now ex-
uemely sorry Tor. That ~ sorry for having sub
united The letter 10 Mr.. Clay, and giyer him
cvPy OF H. DIS statement has not the shadow of
ruin or PROBABILITY 10 support it, 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 commencement tn ,hr
termination, was my own act, and I am alone res.
possible for 1t. So far from being sorry for " a,
did, my mos, deliberate Judgment approves of !,
ana undef the same circumstances, would do the
like again. and confidently appeal TO the public for
the correctness OF my conduct
But Mr.. beverley has obtained some new Iiobt-
as 20 NY conduct III this Transaction How else
can account Tor his change of language in regard
10 my agency in this matter? The following err
