We do not appeal to MI. Ritchie's candor, for

MN BUCHANAN'S LETTER.

We have the pleasure of this day laying be-
fore our readers the letter of MIR. Buchanan. the
highly respectable member Of Congress IRON
Pennsylvania" the man whom Gen. Jackson IN
his address to the public says made the corrupt
overture 70 him in behalf OF Nr. Clay or his
friends, pending the late presidential election.
7, is such document as we had reason TO expect
from him, by all that we had previously heard
or his charac,er-it is frank and manly detail
of the onlu conversation he had sver held with
Gen. Jackson upon the election, and falls far,
very far, short Of supporting the allegations
made bv the General, and industrlously propa-
gated by his friends, for The purpose of injuring
Mr.. CLAW, and through him Mr.. Adams. 1t
will he seen that Mr. Buchanan declares cxpli-
culv. tina, the conversation was had upon his
own responsibility alone, and that he was NOV
ed 10 it by motives Of friendship for the Cen
eral and an anxious desire 20 promote his E.
lection.
After the charges thus made have been over
thrown by the authority quoted for their sup
port. we hope to hear no more about bribery
and corruption on the part Of Mr.. Adams, TO
secure his own election, or on that Of MIR. Clay,
to procure the office he now fills. These ca
lumnies are put to silence forever. The presses
strained TO admit that he has failed in making
out his case. TABany Daily advertiser.
If there be sublime spectacle on earth, it is
that Of great man rising superior to the ca
lumny and abuse of horde of conspirators,
who sough, to rob him of q 'ceH earned fame,
for purposes Of personal aggrandizement.-

Clay has passed through their furnace and
come out purer and brighter than ever; teach

that truth and virtue must ever prevail over the

his defalcation to the public, his corrupt bar

The Hon LEMuEL SAWYER has been re-eiect-
ed to Congress, In the Edenton District, in
North Carolina. His competitor, Mr. SbeP-

And now. having said thus much, we take

From the National Journal,

Mr.. Force: In common with every observer
Of passing events, have been struck with the
abuse which has been shOwered BY the Opposi-
ton presses on some Of The high officers ofGov-
ernmeni, because they have exercised the rights
of American freemen, to visit occasionally their
relations and friends, and TO bestow passing
notice on their private affairs. Surely the APP
pointments of these distinguished citizens to
Office, could no, have been expected to e1tin-
guish the affection Of their hearts, or their do
mes.ic interests. But have been particularly
struck with The fact that while the Secretary
Of State, the Secretary of War, and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, have been hunted down, as if
they had committed improbable Offences, Cor
seeking brief repose from heavy official la
bour, the Hermitage prints have passed by,
without censure, the recent visit Of the Post
master General.
What is the reason Of this silence? Is ii
that Gen. Jackson and his partzans consider the
Postmaster General as belonging to them, and
therefore trea, his misdeeds with gentleness?
II such lie their impression, ii must, should
think, be erroneous. For surely Mr.. MLean
has too high sense Of honor, 10 hold an ele
vated and highly responsible (and, indeed, in
popular opinion, semi Cdbiaef) situation un-
der any Administration, of whom he is Ike Sc
cret adversary. No man Of common honesty,
to say nothing Of Honorable feeling, would con-
sent, in political contest, to play the part Of
Of spy in the camp OF his enemy-a part
which even tine necessities Of national war have
proved insufficient to exempt altogether from
odium and adherence. HoNEsTUs

his object accomplished, in eIicing the remarks
of some members the conduct ofthe public journals
and Mr. Forsyth, who had probably not forgotten the
