returned Ill the Columbian Observer TO Washing |
ton City the 3ist January. How long before |
ils date that letter written for NJ. Kremer il
does not appear. Whether thea he ANY connexion
between the commune alton made by the dislin- !
rvshsd member oil Congress, and that letter perhaps
Gen. Jackson can explain.
AT the end of more Ihln two year. after C. corr !
iUpt overture is made TO Gen JscEson, lie now Tor |
the first time, openly prOclaims it. IL lie true as
have asceEtained since the publication of Mr.. Bev |
eIeys Fayetteville letter, the General has been for
g long time secretly circulating the charge. Inme- !
dstsiy on the Appearance at Washington of that !
letter in the public prints the Elitor Of The Tele-
EraIh asserted, Ia his paper, thai Gen. Jackson had
communicated the overture to him about the period
OF the election, not as lac states, bat according
10 Mr.. Beyeleys version Of the ,aie. Since lefI
Washington on the 10Th OF last month, have un- |
Gsrstood that Gen. Jackson has made a similar |
communication to several oihct persons, at different
and distant poin,s. Why has the overture been |
'nus clsndestiney circulated? Was it that through !
the medium OF he Telegraph. tie leading paper |
support ting the inefcst OF General Jackson, an !
though his Other repositories, the belief of the |
charge ehoud be daily AID gradually infused into |
the public mind, and bud contribute 10 tie support
Uf his cause? The Zeal aud industry with which |
II has been prUpsgaed, the daily columns OF certain |
newspapers testify. FiDd.ng The public still un-
convinced, has the General fouad to be necessary
to COME out IN proper person, through the thin veil
vi Mir. Carter Beyerey's agency?
When tue ailedsed overture was made, the 9.
lection remained undecided. Why did not Gen
Jackson then ibid up to universal scotn and indig
haIion tie Infamous bearer OF the proposal and
those who dared 10 insult bis honor, and tamper
with his integrity: II he had, that time, denounc
cd ell the Infamous parties concerned, demanded
an inquiry in the House of Representatives. and
established, By satisfactory proof the truth of his
accusation, there might, and probably would have

not having themselves any such knowledge, they
have felt to be their duy oaly to lay before the
