and those of MIR. Clay. Now if Gen Jackson did
not lnslIuate this charge, what did he mean, after
describing the intrigue going on between the friends
OF Nlr. Adams and those of Mr.. Clay, and avowing
his preference Of being swallowed up, with MIR.
Clay, 10 being officially in his company we
ask, did he mean by the nnuendo" that :" the sec
!" ond day after the communication and reply, twas
announced in the newspapers that Mr.. Clay had
. come out openly and avowedly in favor of Mr..
8 Adams y In short, what does his 9rhole letter
mean, II it does not mean what Mr.. Clay and the
public assert that il means? 1t either that or
nothing. And if it means nothing, why was Bevcr-
leys Fayetteville letter trumpeted about the country
rs an instrument which, when Cen Jackson should
afx his seal TO twas to consign Mr. Clay TO political
damnaon
1t is somewhat remarkable that Gen. Jackson
should censure NJ Clay for giving TO his letter TO
Beverly stronger Specification than it deserved, and
at the same time give new point TO his "innuendoes.
He now says, g The character of Mr.. Buchanan
" with me, forbids the idea that he was acting his
g own responsibility, that, under any clrcuH
g stances he could have been induced TO propose an
6 arrangement, unless possessed of satisfactory as
surances that, ifacceped, it would be carried fully
Into effect"
Mr. Buchanan then did "propose an arrange
ment' to General jackson. Yes he actually 'pro-
posed an arrangement" coming, as General Jack
son believed from Mr.. Clay to this proposal an
answer was directed 10 be given TO Mr.. Clay Gen
eral Jackson states all this over his own name,
and vet risun. tcneatis omic?) his letter contains
no charge against Mr.. Clay In that letter he says,
10 be sure, = ,nay have done injustice to- Mr..
Clay. In his present publication, that probability
dwndles into possibility g / may possibly have
done injustice 10 Mr.. Clay This remark, too, is
preceded by the declaration, that g the conclusion
. and Inference from that convcrsation---the time
sthe manncr-and all the circumstances, satisfied

thought, and 60 still think"
| These, and other features, TO which we shall
OF future occasions do full Justice, of the Bulletin
now under rcyicv ni,cste General ,Iackson's full
consciousness of the awkwardness nf TIE situation
into which he has been thrown by his own dlsinge-
, nuous and crooked conduct, and by the vanity OF
poor Beverly. At one moment receding from an ac-
cusation which, in an evil hour, he has lent his
name to, and at another, returning to them with the
convulusivc grasp ofdesperatIon he exhibits mel
ancholy example ofthe neglect Of the maxim, that
honesty is the best policy" Endeayoring TO shake
of the difficulties of his defence, by resumng his
quality of prosecutor, he assas Mr. Clay a new
ground. As his tone on this subject is afectedly
] bold. we shall besow on it an immediate, though
passing notice.
