The Coalition prints bave trumpetcd forth with
a great air Of triumph, the substance Of a letter
which Mr. Crawford is said to have recently ad-
dressed TO Mr.. Clay-Gn the interval between
Mr.. Clay's pamphlet and the kentucky Ipvestiea-
tion.)-Its precise contents arc not developed; but
Mr.. Crawford is made 10 acquit Mr. Clay ofanv
sin in voting for Mr.. Adams; that he would have
done the same thing himself &C. SC Now, in
what words Mr.. Crawford says this II he saws il
% an; whether nc goes on tOsay, that though ne
might have voted for Mr.. a. yet be would not az

not t0to, Mr.. Clay's partizsns are not good O.

enough; that Mr.. Crawford does not nom prefer

P0ice of Pennsylvania. The General Commit
tee OF Correspondence appointed at the Democrat
&c Convention oil Pennsylvania, on the Sth Janua-
ry, have been at great pains to collect informa-
ton from the best sources, and they have submit
ted an estimate Of the maiorities expected TO be
given al each c0is,,Y, at the general election in
October next. Their calculation is that Mr. Ad-
ans will obtain majority i'm counties out of 81
and that the majority for Jackson will be about
43, 400.
OF .NelD YOrk--We have received the most au-
thentlc accounts OF this great State The prospects
are most promising. There are strong reasons to
believe, that the friends of Jackson will be able 10
rout their opponents In every district probably in
all but few Of the old federal counties-The
friends of the Coalition have sou yit for consolation
in the death OF Mr.. Clinton They deceive them
selves. Mr.. Clinton Wasindeed tine friend of Cen
Jackson, rs much as he was the opponent of the
Administration. We know, that he pronounced il
one ot the most impure Administrations which had
ever existed-prostit1ting their power and patron
age to the sole purpose OF keeping themselves in
oihce-the travelling Cabinet as an abuse unparal-
eled n.the history of our Countrywide w India
commerce lost by them-tie Panama Mission, A
wretchSd abOrtion.-Therc was no doubt of his
anxiety for Gen Jackson's success; but his lament
ed death VIII, IN no respect, paraZe the cause in
which he had zcalouely embarked. A II his warm
friends will perseveTe in the course which they
were pursuing. The same interests will more
hrinjy consolidate men of the same principles
Both sections OF the Republican party will unite,
aud cooperate in the same cause All the little
prejudices which existed in the mind of Mr. Gin
ton or against him; all the little collisions which
they might have generated will be buried in the
grave with hm.-We strongly suspect the card
which the Administration mean to play in New
YORK; but 1t - desperate game and il will surely
fail them. The moment they are seen al it, n deem
er disgrace will be their bitter portion An envoy
is said to have been two months in the City of
Washington, seeking succour for himself and his
cause-who is the party that he represents We
warn Mr.. Clay 10 beware Of all communion with
him.

not know Gen, Jackson from any other

he was only doing his duty, in conformity

"FREDERIcK, July II, 1928


Sn-Your communication of this day
has iust been handed me. With respect
to the anecdote related by Mr.. McIlhenny,
so far as l was reported to have had an IN
teryiew with General Jackson, it is not
accurate. / never saw General Jackson
in the Choctaw nation but once, about the
18th or Both of March 1913, when he and
a number ofhis officers supped with me at
the agency house. With the exception
above, believe the statement of Major
Mcllhenny substantially correct. ! had
left a young man in charge Of the agency
house, and directed him, though not en-
ployed IN the public service, to receive
passports from travellers, and to record
them in a book kept for that purpose. He
reported an interview between General
jackson end himself, corresponding in the
features to that contained in Major Neil.
henny's publication, with a change of name
only. l undoubtedly repeated the report
of the young man, and very probably in
the presence of Major NJ. which may read
lily account for the mistake. Had the IN
terview taken place between the General
and myself, / am under the impression
that the result would have been different"
