From the Lancaster Mtelligencer.

Mr. Buchanan's letter states, in clear and con-
else manner, what his object was in calling on Gen.
eral Jackson. The enemies of the General had
raised report calculated to injurc his election,
viz that if he were made President, ne would APP
point his chief competitor, MIR. Adams secretary

General Jackson thought this SHOULD be contradict

General, and after stating the object OF his visit,

moment, suppose that he has not distinct reccl-
lection of all that was said; and that he, on tins

comparing Of notes without previously UNDER
standing each other comes before the public, sta
tins what he believes to be the truth. That Gen
eral Jackson il the more likely OF the two to be mis-
taken, and that he is honestly mistaken. Is evident
from what we have already stated. When we
say this we must not be misunderstood. Our opln-
ion in the inicxlble integrity, and incorruphble
heart Of General Jackson is not to be shaken or
disturbed but, in his situation, surrounded by
friends --bprne down with correspendence--hea

character Of MIR. Buchanan If he believed him ca

other man, corrupt proposition. Gen. Jackson
we have reason to believe, has from that time to
this, entertained the same exalted opinion of Mr..
Buchanan which he ever dd--and he must know,
as well as we do--as every citizen OF this District
does, that he is incapable Ct telling o fasehood-
