newspaper which. the second day after early in
January, sser,ed in its columns, that l had
come out Openly and avowedly in favor Of Mr..
Adams" challenge the production of such
paper do not believe my intention SO TO
vote for Mr.. Adams was announced in the
newspapers openly and avowedly during the
whole month of January, or at any rate until
late in the month. The only aro,oaI Of my in.
ten,ion to vote for him, which was made in the
newspapers prior to the election, is contained
in nv letter 10 Judge Brooke, which is dated
the esth January. 1t was first published in the
Enquirer at Richmond, some time in the ensa-
ing month go further; do not believe any
newspaper at Washington can be produced, an
nouncing, before the latter part OF January, the
fact, whether upon my avowal or not, OF my
intention to vote for Mr.. Adams. Ger. Jack

His friend, Mr.. George Kremer, in his letter to
the Columbian Observer, bearing date The 25ih
January, has, according 10 my recollection Of
the public prints, claim TO the merit Of being
the first, or among the FIRST, TO announce 10 the
public nv intended vote. That letter was hrst
published in Philadelphia, and returned in The
Columbian Observer 10 Washington City Oh
the 3lst January How long before its date
that letter was written for Mr.. Kremer, il does
not appear. Whelhe: there be any connection
between the communication made by the dis
tipguished member Of Congress, and that letter,
perhaps Gen Jackson can explain.
Atlhe end Of more than Two years alter 4

now, for the frs, time, openly proclaims il, 1t

lion Of Mr.. Beverley Fayetville letter, the &c.
neral has been for long time secretly circula-
ling the charge. Immediately on the appear.
ance at Washington Of that letter in the public
prints, the Editor ofthe Telegraph asserted, in
his paper, that General Jackson had communi-
Gated the overture 10 him about the period Of
the election, not as he now states, but according
TO Mr.. Beverley's version Of the tale. Since
left Washington on The 10th Of Iast month,
have understood that General Jackson has
made similar communication % several other
pei sons, at different and distant potsts. Why
has the overture been thus ClandestiHely circu-
lated? Was il that through the medium Of the
Telegraph, the leading paper supporting the
interest Of General Jackson, and through his
other repositories, the belief Of the charge
should be daily and gradually infused into the
public mind, and thus contribute TO the support
Of his cause? The zeal and industry with which
il has been propagated, the daily columns OF
certain newspapers can testify. Finding the
public still unconvinced, has the General found
it TO be necessary 10 come out in proper person
through the thin vel. Of Mr.. Carter Beverley's
agency?
When the alleged overture was made, the ell
ec,ion remained undecided. Why did NO, &c.
neral Jackson then hold up TO universal scorn
and indignation the infamous bearer of the pro.
posal, aud those who dared TO insult his honor,
and tamper with his integrity If he had
at that time denounced all the infamous parties
concerned, demanded an inquiry in the House
Of Representatives, and established, by salts.

not General Jackson authorize a motion 10 re-
commit the report, and manfuily come forwar
with all his information? The Congress of The
Nation is in session. An important, election
