FROM THE KENTUCKY REPORTER.
TO TIE PUBLIC.
On nv arrival at Wheeling, on the esd instant.
! was informed that Mr.. Carter Beverley, then az
that place, had received the preceding night by
mail, letter from General Jackson. which he Fad
exhibited to several persons. and left with ms
friend Col Noah Zane fur my perusal aud which
was todd formed a subj ect of general conversation,
and had produced much excitement in the town.
The Captain q the Reindeer having kindly detaiT-
cd his steamboat for my accommodation. aud rs
was unwilling longer TO delay his departure. lad
only time to obtain hasty but believe correct
copy of the letter, and now seize the first mo-
ment after my arrival at home. to present it TO
the public. together with copy of another letter
addressed by Mr.. Beverley to Col. Zane.
purposely forbear. at this time, to make sever
al comments which these documents authorize. and
conhne myself to notice Of the charges which
General Jackson has brought forward in his letter.
These charges are, lst. That my friends IN
Congress. early in January. 1825, proposed to him
that. il he would say. or permit any OF hi, conf
dental friends to say. that, in he was elected
President. Mr.. Adams should not BE- continued
Secretary of s.1te, by complete union Of my
self and my friends, we would put an end 10 the
Presidential contest in one hour and
2dly. That the above proposal was made 10
General Jackson, through distinguished member
Of Congress, Of high standing, acith my prirty and
consent
To The latter charge. oppose direct. unqua'i-
fled and indignant denial | neither made, nor
authorized, nor knew Of any proposition whatever
to either of the three Candidates who were return-
ed to the House Of Representatives at The last
Presidential election, or to the friends OF either Of
them for the purpose Of influencing the result Of
the election, or for any other purpose. And al,
allegations, Etimatons and inaendoes that my
vote, on that occasion, was offered to be given, Or
was IN fact given, III consider alton OF any stlpua-
ton or understanding, express or implied, direct
or indirect, written or verbal, that was or that
any other person was not, to be appointed Serree
tary Of State or that | was, in any other manner,
to be personally benefited are devoid Of all truth,
and destitute of any foundation whatever. And
firmly and solemnly believe, that the first Of the
two above mentioned charges is alike untrue and
groundless. Bat II CONTRARY to my full belief) my
friends or any OF them made any such proposition
or Offer as is asserted in that first charge. it was
without my knowl ledge and without my authority.
The letter Of Gen. Jackson insnuates. rather
than directly makes. the further charge, that an
arrangement was proposed and made between MIR,
Adams's friends aud mine, BY which, in the event
Of his election was to be appointed Secretary Of
State. | pronounce that charge also, ~ far as I
knowor believe to be untrue and without the least
foundation.
Gen. Jackson having at last Voluntarily placed
himself in the attitude of my public accuscr, we
are now fairly at issue. rejoice that a specific
accusation by a responsible aecnser, has at length
appeared, though at the distance Of near two and
a half wears since the charge was first put forth,
through Mr.. George kremer. 1t will be univer-
sally admitted. that the accusation is OF the most
serious nature. Hardly any mere atrocons could
be preferred against representative Of the people
in his official character. The charge in substance is
that deliberate propositions of barsain were
made by my Congressional friends collectively,
through an authorized and distinguished member VI
Congress, to Gen. jackson: til, their object was.
by these "means of bargain and Corruption 10
excladc MIR, Adams from the Department OF State,
or to secure my promotion to office; and that
was priyy and assentcd to those propositions and
to the employment Of those means.
Such being the accusation and the prosecutor,
and the issue betweenus. Ihase now a t5ht To eX
pect that he will substantiate his charges Oy the
lihition Of satisfactory evidence. In that event.
here is no punishment which would exceed the
measure Of my offence. In the opposite event,
what ought to be the judgment Of the American
public is cheeifuily submitted to their wisdom anu
