entered my mind, that he believed me to have
been the agent Of Mr.. Clay or Of his friends,
or that had intended TO propose 10 him terms
OF any kind from them, or that he could have
supposed me to be capable of expressing the
"opinion that it was right to fight such intrigu-
ers with their own weapons" Such suppo-
si,ion, had entertained it, would have render
ed me exceedingly unhappy, as there is no man
upon earth whose good opinion more valued
than that of General Jackson. He could not,
think, have received this impression, until at
ter Mr.. Clay and his friends had actually elect
ed Mr. Adams president, and Mr.. Adams had
appointed Mr.. Clay secretary of state. After
these events had transpired, i, may be readily

should have Immediately corrected his errone-
Gus impression, and thus prevented the neces-
sity for this most unpleasant explanation
When the editor Of the United States Telegraph
on the 18th of October last, asked me by letter
for information upon this subject, promptly
informed him by the returning mail, on the 10th
of that month, that had no authority from Mr..
Clay, or his friends, to propose any terms TO
General Jackson in relation TO their votes, nor
did ever make any such proposition; and that

With another remark / shall close this COM
municalion. Before l held the conversation
with General Jackson, which Ihave detailed, l
called upon Major Eaton: and requested him 10
ask General Jackson, whether he had ever de-
clared or intimaied, that he would appoint Mr.
Adams Secretary of State, and expressed de-
sire, that the General should say, If consistent
with the TRUTH that he did not intend to appoint
him 10 that Office. believed that such de
clara,ion would have happy influence upon
the election. and endeavored to convince him
that such would be its effect The converse
ZION between us was not so full, as that with
General Jackson. The Major politely declined
to comply with my request, and advised me to
PROFOUND the question to the General myseH

"TuE TRUTH Is MIGHTY AND SHALL PREVAIL"

From the Richllond Enquirer Of Aug Sd.

that the communication was made to Gen. Jackson
that he speaks Of"
.7fashould turn out that such Communication, as
General Jackson speaks 9 ,cas made to nm LIEN
HE WILL STAND DISHoNoRED AND DlSGRaC-
ED IN THE-OPINION OF ALL"
Mr.. BUCHANAN has made his statement in
reply TO that of General Jackson 1t is, what
we never doubted it would be, manly exposi-
lion Of facts, and those facts are Of the charac-
Ter we expected they would be. They shew
the intense anxiety of'Mr Buchanan TO pro-
mote the elevation of Gen Jackson TO The Pres
,dency:-,ha, every step he took to effect this
object, s, in particular, as he assures US his com
implication TO General Jackson was of his own
mere mo,ion-on his own "indivdual response
bili,y; and not as "the agent o. Mr. Clay, OR ANY
OTHER PERSON" The intense anxiety OF Mr.
Buchanan, and his friendship for Gen Jackson
was ",he ONLY MOTIVE" which urged him
10 have "the only conversation" he ever had
with Gen Jackson on the Presidential Election
and this he TOLD Gen, Jackson. What shall we
offer, what CAN we offer, in excuse for Gen
Jackson.
The editor of the United States Telegraph,
the official organ Of Gen, Jackson, was in reply
written to, by Mr. Buchanan, so early as the
| 18th of October; and, we shall now use the very
words of Mr. Buchanan-"I promptly inform.
ed him that 81 had no authority from Mr.. Clay,
or his friends TO propose ANY TERMS TO General
Jackson, in relation TO their votes, NOR DID
EVER MAKE SUCH PROPOSITION.
That a copy Of this letter was forwarded to
Gen Jackson cannot be doubted nat foLy'
what infatuation! what deprivation OF under
standing could, with this letter before them,
tempt the Telegraph and Gen. Jackson and the
Nashville Committee, to rush upon inevitable
ruin, by giving up Mr.. Buchanan as the author
ofthat which he, in writing, ten months ago had
assured them he had never uttered nor ever
would countenance.
We feelconcerned that man whom we have
delighted to honor, whom his country had de
lighted TO honor; and who, in the tented helc,
has honored himself and his country; we feel
Inundated that his love Of power, his warnings

John Quincy ADAMS from his first entrance In

ted the attention of all parties, by the display OF
abilities which only found IN the ablest states
man. Not "a few, at an early day, saw the germs OF
talents which ould IN time elevate him to the high
est Office in his country's gift. Hear WAsHlNeToN,

cared it as his opinion that he would become one OF

spake of him as an able, honest, and learned man,
and one who would make a sale Chief Magistrate tor
the Union. MADISON had high opinion OF his d-
plonatic skill, and in this line believed he had NO
superior. MONROE praised him an able assistant
in his administration, and said whatever success 1t
had obtained from the People, was greatly to be at
tributed to Mr. ApAMs's counsels.
Not only did these men speak in this manner OF
MIR. ADAMS, but he enjoyed their confidence, and
was employed in distngul shed public capacity by
each. Now call JACKSON forth, and where will you
