Here is a plain, direct and POSITIVE contradic-
tion @General Jackson, to conveyto the pubic
the idea that Mr.. Buchanan was acting as the
Agent Of MIR. CLAW, says, |, Gen. Jackson, "up

be The familiar. friend of Mr., Clay. Mr., Blu

this assertion of the General and represents II

Here we have the account of Gen. Jackson
and Of MIR Buchanan, Of what was said by Mr.
Buchanan when he made the communication to
Gen Jackson.
MIR Buchanan asserts that the communica.
ton was made by him son the SOth of Dscena-
Der 1924" Gen. Jackson says it was made Gin
January 1925
Gen. Jackson says, that Mr. Buchanan said
/" he had been informed By the friends Of Mr.
Clay, Sc" Mr. Buchanan himself SAYS, 81
stated to him Gen. Jackson there was re
port in circulation SIC. never saying that he
came from any body, much less from Mr.. Clay
or his friends.
Gen. jackson goes on TO saw that Mr. Buc

son three several times puts into Mr.. Buchan-
ans mouth the phra e "the friends of MIR. |
Clay" and once he makes him "Mr. Clay |

hanan with the robe OF an ambassador and he 4
puts into his mouth the language which would
have been becoming in that capacity, but as
Mr.. Buchanan did not go in that character, he
assures US he did not use the language imputed
to him. He not only never said or intimated /
that he had come from, or been authorized by
Mr.. Clay, or MIR. Clay and his friends, Or Mr..
Clay's friends, or friend, or by any individual
whatever, but expressly said, he came "sokiy"
