/. The General, in his Carter Beverly letter,
above quoted, makes it g early IN January 1895 !"
and in his Address to the Public, dated July, 10,
1927, he makes it in January 1885, rather more
safe period Of time, though not quite so precise.
g. Mr.. Buchanan, from letters which he wrote on
three days, Dec. 30, and 81 1924, and January 2,
1926, which letters he has probably since seen,
s' fixes the time" of his conversation on the Hirtleth
day Of December, 1924.
3. Mr.. Eatonsays that Mr. Buchanan talked with
him on the 9Th or 10Th Of Jam 1925, and then had
his interview with the General on the snext day
viz. on the 9th or Goth.
Now here seems to be some little difference be-
tween the " 30h December, 1894, early in JAN
uary," 'sn January" and the g 9th or Goth jan
uary 1926" Who's right and whose wrong
Mr.. Buchanan declares that he had but one con-
versation, prior to the election, and we have seen
three several periods mentioned at which it took
place, with difference of three weeks between the
time specified by Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Eaton
Both are quite sure as to the time, but both cannot
be right.
If there are such errors as to time, when one
fixes the precise day, another makes it early and
then sem January, and another the 18th OF goth
January, 1895, it is not difficult to believe that in
their statements there are
Some other differences.
Let us see. Mr. Eaton says BY the showing of
Mr.. lsaacks and Mr. Buchanan, it now appears, that
Mr.. Markley was the negociatvr." Let us hear Mr..
Buchanan :. ] called upon Gen. Jackson, on the
occasion which have mentioned, solely as has friend
upon my individual responsibility, and not as the
agent of MIR. Clay, or any OTHER PERSON"
Now if Mr.. Markley ncgocidted, he must have ne
gociated by Mr.. buchanan and yet Mr.. Buchanan
says he was neither the Agent Of Mr.. Clay, or
any other person. and that the conception never
entered his mind that he (Jackson) believed me to
have been the agent of Mr.. Clay, or his friends, or
that had intended to propose to him terms OF any
kind for them," and that had he 'ever known or
even suspected that Gen. Jackson believed he had
been sent to him by Mr.. Clay or his friends, he
:, should have Immediately corrected his erroneous
| impression !" and that he "had no authority from
Mr.. Clay or his friends to propose any terms in re-
lation to their votes, nor did he make any such
: proposition"
PRAY, reader, can you now tell me how this nego
i citation was carried on Mr.. Buchanan says he hat
r no hand in the matter. If Gen. Eaton to believed
It when he says that Mr.. Markey, negotiated he mus
# have negotiated the business between Messrs. Cla
and Buchanan, and the latter gentleman must hav
. laid the proposition before the Generel. Now, Mr.
. Buchanan, as we have seen, Denies over and owe
d again, that he was either the agent OF Mr.. Clay
any other person, or that he submitted to the Genera
# apy proposon on the behalf of MIR. Clay or hi
!, friends. Mr.. Eaton and MIR. Buchanan, therefore
E, are at points on this subject. Eaton says, virtually
v that Buchanan was, and that Buchanan says he wa
not an agent. So it goes.nd so let 1t go, 1t benz
!. purely Jackson affair altogether.
n We cannot however, refrain from making on
r more remark. It'll on record that DR.. Drake.
Of man of honour and high character, esttes that MI
III CLAW had determined to vote for Mr.. Adams severe
months before the election, and g that Mr.. Clay
as opinion has been coniided to several gentlemen
whose evidence when necessary, will leave no loo
at to hang doubt upon"
