"a Commodore Decatur and myself having
such cJauefSaiion as stated TO have taken place
in the apt-chamber Of the Senate, we never
had such q conversation there or elsewhere.
The natural inference from this choice and re-
petition Of the phrase "Such conrerSafson, Is,
that they had conversation on the SUBJECT, Dull
it was no, "such conversation as has been
reported.
Recent disclosures must have satisfied every
one that tie memory OF General Jackson is not
ALWAYS faithful. We state this, not as an I'M
putation on his character, but as fact growing
out of the in6rmi,ies Of age. If time has lett
untouched the ,ivacity Of his ambition, and
The ardor Of his passions, il has manliestlV I'M
paired his faculty Of recollection. or this the
Editors of The Enquirer show themselves to be
aware, when they admit the necessity al cor
robora,ins letter from GENERAL Call, TO sustain
the "reminiscences Of tho General. The iacts
which have lately transpired from the letters OF
Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Eaton, Mr.. Markley, and
the General, are conclusive on this point--ihal
General Jackson's memory does not retain the
important points in colloquial intercourse, 1t
i, failed TO retain many Of these in converse
tons scarcely three years old, how can 1t be
expected faithfully TO retain all the points IN
conversations which took place so long ago as
1919? When, therefore, Gen. Jatkson's I'M
piled admission, that some conversation did
lake place, is coupled with the known inhd"li-
~ Of his memory, his denial tba, il was "such
a conversation a, stated to have taken place,
will, as the Editors Of the Enquirer pre-sup-
pose, REQUIRE collateral evidence 10 supper: II.
The Editors Of the Enquirer ask, ''what were
the friends Of General Jackson to Go unde,
these circumstances? Were they to let the Ca
lumny sweep over the country uncontradictcd
or we're they to seek the truth where it was
TO I've found?' We will answer She question
If they knew Gen. Jackson to be innocent, II
was their dury to arrest The calumny al once
and effectively. They should have sought
"the truth where ii Wa. TO be found" viz: ol
Mr. Tazewell and Mr.. lyle, who were rcfrr-
red to. 1t is true the Enquirer says that Mr.
Tyler "dcnrs all personal knowledge OF the
transaction" This is as cquivocal denial as
lha, of General Jackson himself. Will MI
Tylar and Mr.. Tazewel say that the menace
was not matter of uotoricty in Washing ton, and
that The feeling it excited was not general!
viii they say that ii is not wei known that
the execution OF the mcuauce was prevented by
the interference of Commodore Decatur? As
to The clubbing abou, tie precise ter";s of O
conversation, and thr place where it was held
