FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST "a, 1927.

The Tallahassee Advocate OF the 4lh inst
says tina, Judge MacomAbas prepared for the
press, an interesting work, in answer 10 several
Queries made by General La Fayetle, to Gov
DLvaI, respecting the resources of Florida
The editor remarks that it faithfully deiineates
the advantages Of the soil and climate OF the
Territory. Such work will be valuable, and
we sneak with confidence when we say, that
many copies may be sold in this neishoorhood'
The same paper speaks in the following sa-
,isfac,ory terms of our much esteemed friend
aud late neighbor, now Secretary OF the ierrl-
tory.
mGoy. Duval will leave here in few days
for Washington. He goes, we are informed
on public business. During his absence, Inc
duties of the Executive will devoive on the Sc
rrerary. MIR. McCarty is comparatively stran-
Ger in the Territory, having been among us
but few weeks-consequcn:ly Is measuraoiy
unacouainted with the manners and habits OF
The country. I'he short acquaintance we have
had with him, has, however, produced The most
favorable impression. Since his arrival he
has devoted himself TO acquiring information
rasDec ling the Territory, and has already prov
ID himself an active aud valuable officer. The
ao,oin,mert OF Mr.. McCarty, we consider as
one Of tAe best that has been made Tor Florida,
since its cession to The United States.

From the Pittsburg Gazette. I

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
Gen. Iaskson and NJ. Buchanan 1T must be
evident To the most careless reader, that since
the publication Of Mr. Buchanan's letter, the
charge made BY the General against Mr.. Clay
is entirely dissipa'eG.
Mr.. Buchanan says, / called upon Gen. jack
son. on the occasion which have mentioned,
soIely as his friend, upon my individual respon-
sbili,y, and mol as the agent of Mr. Clay or any
other psrson. never have been the POLITICAL
friend of Mr. Clay" sc. SO shat Mr. Clay,
npon the testimony Of Gen. Jackson's own wit
ness, might rest the case here; but his friends
will not be satisfied with mere verdict Of ae-
oui,,al They do and will insist that Gen. jack
SON, upon his o,cn saecing has issued from {" the
! saloons of the Hermitage" with malice and
without probable cause, vile calamnics against
the reputation Of one Of our most meritorious
and yirtuous citizens.
What is the charge contained in the Gere-
rails letter? the following are the words: VT
| would say, or permit aaysof my confidential
friends to say, that if was elected President,
Mr. Adams should not be continued Secretary
of State, 6y a complete uni0n Of Mr.. Gay
and his friends, they ,0ould put an end TO
The presidential contest in one hour.
Again, the General says, The evening before,
he had communicated substantially, the ame
proposition tc Major Eaton
Again, he repeats, "upon certain terms and
conditions being assented to on my part, then,
BY union Of MIR. Clay aud his friends, they
would put an end to the Presidential contest in
one hour."~
And again, "The character Of Mr.. Buchanan
with me, forbids the idea thai he was acting on
his own responsibility" or that, "under any
circumstances, he could have been induced TO
propose an arrangement, unless possessed OF sa-
tisfactory assurances, that, If accepted, itwould
be carried into effect" 80
Thus repeating, over and over again, that a
proposition was made to him, upon certain con-
ditions, ato put an end to the presidential con-
test in one hour that san arrangement soas
proposed In every line almost Of his second letter
he insists and re insists that proposition" was
made to him. This, now is matter OF fact, no:
of inference-he asserts i, in every variety OF
shape. :.
What does Mr.. Buchanan. his own witness,
saw? Does he say that he made any PROPOSE
ton to the General On the contrary, ne de-
MES it over and over again. In the first place
he saws, shat he acted solely as General Jac6sons

trinds,' and not 'tas The agent of Mr.. Clay

.jrinds, and not 'sas the agent Of Mr.. Clay
or any other person.
Further, he says thai until he "saw the Gen
erals letter Of the 5th df June, TO Mr.. Beverly,
the conception never entered his mind that the
General supposed he meant 10 propose TO him
terms of any Kind" And he states that in his
letter of the 10th Of October, to the editor of
the Telegraph, he informed him that he had no
authority from Mr. Clay or his friends, to pro-
pose any terms to- General Jackson, in relation
to their votes, nor did Ieucr make any such pro.
position"
Now here is direct and unequivoca issue,
upon matter Of fact, beiwecu the General and
bis own witness. The General asserting, over
and over again, that Mr.. Buchanan made a
and Mr.. B. directly and pointed
ly denying it. Mr.. b. is the Generals own
Witnessed course he will be believed until
some other evidence is produced. The Gener-
al says Major Eaton viii confirm his statement.
If Major Eaton les,i6es contrary to Mr.. the
country must decide between them. If he does
not TESTIFY, the presumption will be, tina, his
recollection is different from the Generals. Let
this, however result as il may, Mr.. Clay mus,
be acquitted of the charge Of corruption; the in
dictment by the General must be returned ig.
nor4nus, and the prosecutor sentenced to pay
the costs Of prosecution, by the loss OF reputa-
ton.
! wish the readers ofshe Gazette would pre-
serve the papers containing the letters Of Gen
eral Jackson and Mr.. Buchanan, they will az
ford ground for much Comment hereafter. ID.
