between Mr.. Eaten and myself, IN tn

composition or publication of that card,
No occasion can be conceived more 6s-

the transaction referred to. 1t was the
subject of the correspondence between
US, and ] purposly afforded bin an hon.
orable opportunity OF avowing or di.a.
vowing any CO operation with Mr. Krs.
mer. Instead OF embracing it, he does
not deny the visit, nor my Inference
from it. On the contrary. he SAYS in
bis letter Of the Slst March, 1895: "Sue.
pose the fact to be that did visit him.
(Mr. kremer) and suppose, too, that il
was, as, you have termed it, nocturnal
visit; was there and thing existing that
should have denied me this priyiiegspo
As Mr.. Kremer asserted that he did
not write the lettei to the Columbian
Observer, and as MIR. Eaton does not
deny that be wrote the Card published
in Mr.. Kremer's name, the inference is
not unfair that, having been Mr.. Kre.
mer's adviser and amanuensis on ous
occasion, be acted in the same charao-
ter on the other. II is quite clear that
the statements in the letter to the CO.
lumbar Observer are not made upon
Mr.. Kremer's own knowledge. lie
speaks of reports, rumors. sc. Over
lures were said to have been madc.n
SC.
1t is most probable that those state.
ments are founded on Gen. Jackson,s
Interpretation of the object Of Mr.. Buc-
hanau's interview. How did be OBJ.
tain the information which was commu-
nIcafed to the Columbian Obserysr?--
Upon the supposition that the letter was
prepared by Mr.. Eaton. we can a. once
comprehend it. He was perfectly az.
prised Of all that had passed betwesa
Fir. Buchanan and General JACKSON
The coincidence of language employed
IN the letter to the Columbian Observ.
er with that of Gen. jackson to DIR.
Carter Beverly, is very striking, and
proves that It has common origin. Mr..
kremersays: 'Oyertures were said to
have been made 10 the friends Of Mr..
Clay, offering him the appointmen t Of
Secretary Of State for bis aid ito elect
Mr.. Adams" Gen, Jacksons says: "He
Mr. Buchanan said be had been in
formed by the friends of Mr.. Clay that
the friends OF MJ. Adams had made
overtures to them, saying il Mr.. Clay
and his friends would unite in aid of the
election of Mr. Adams, Mr.. Clay should
be Secretary OF State" The other vasi-
alton. between other parts Of the tive
letters are no greater than often occur
IN different narratives of the same con.
versatlon. They are not so great as
those which exist in the accounts which
Zen. jackson has himself given at diff
ferent times, of the same transaction.--
This will be manifest from a compare
son of Mr.. Beverly's report of the con-
veFsation, a. the Hermitage, contained
in bis fayetteville letter of the sth 81
March last, with Gen. Jackson's state
ment Of the same conversation, in bis
letter to Mr. Beverly, of the 9th If
June, Speaking of this letter, MIR.
Beverly says, lin bis letter 10 n Zane,
esq that Gen. jackson "asserts great
deal more than he ever told me-"
From the intimacy which existed be-
tween General jackson and Mr. Eaton,
and from the fact, stated by them boths
OF the knowledge which each possessed
of Mr.. Buchanan's communication, is
cannot be reasonably doubted, if Mr..
Eaton prepared Mr.. Kremer's letter
hat General jackson was acquainted
with this fact Il is worthy of PARTICULAR
observation, that, up TO this day. as far
as am informed Mr.. Kremer has most
concealed the source whence
