bic opportunity OF syowing or dlsavowln!5 any
CO. operation with Mr.. kremer. Instead ci en-
bracing it, he does not derry the visit, nor my

his letter of the Sis, March, 1925, suppose

termed il, nocturnal visit; was there any lhihg

As Mr.. Kremer asserted tina. he did not
write the letter to The Columbian Observer, *
as Mr.. Eaton does not deny that he wrote the
Card. published in Mr.. Kremer's name, the III"
ference is not unfair that having been Mr.. kre'
mer's adviser and amanaensis on one occasion,
! he acted in the same character on the other.
II is quite clear that the statements IL the let
Ter 10 he Columbian Observer are not made
upon Mr.Kremer's own knowledge. He speaks
| of reDorts runors, SC. "Overtures were said
|
| TO have been made, SC.
+, is mos, probable that those statements are
founded on Gen JackEon's Interpretation oil
the obirct of MI Buchanan's interview. How
did he obtain the information which was CONS
| rounIc a ed to the Columbian Observer! Upon
the suDDosition that the letter was prepared by
! Mr.. Eaton, we can al once comprehend II. He
was perfectly apprised of all that had passed
between Mr.. Buchanan and Cen Jackson. The
| coincidence of tne language employed IN the
| letter to the L. Observer, with that OF General
hs sa E M Ga5't B as ssFY o fief
| Mr. Kremer SAYS, "O,srtures were said 10
have been made 10 the friends Of Clay offering
him the appointment Of Secretary Of Stale for
his aid TO elect Mr. Adams" Gen. Jackson
formed by the friends Of Mr.. Clay that the
friends of Mr.. Adams had made oyerlures TO
them, saying if Mr.. Clay and his friends would
unite in aid of the election of Mr.. Adams, Mr..
Clay should be Secretary Of State" The va
rialions between other parts of the two letters
are not greater than often occur in different
mar, att, es Of the same conversation. They
arc no, so great as those which exist in the &C
counts which Gen Jackson has himself given,
at d, IF rent times, of the same transaction. This
will be m nifrs, from r comparison of Mr..
Brverly's report Of the conversation, at the
HERMITAGE, contained in his Fayetteville letter
Of the 9Th Of March last, with Gen. Jackson's
statement Of the same conversation, in his let
ter to Mr. Beverly Of the 9Th Of June Speak
ing Of this letter MIR. Beverly says (in his let
ter 10 n. Zane, Esq that Gen. Jackson 'as-
serts great deal more than he ever told me"
From the intimacy which existed between
Gen Jackson and Mr.. Eaton, and from the fact,
slated by them both, of The knowledge which
each possessed of Mr. Buchanan's commnnica-
ton, il cannot be reasonably dou hed, if MI. Ea
ton prepared Mr., Kremer's letter, thar General
Jackson was acquainted with this fact lis
worthy OF particular observation that up to this
day, as far as am Informed, Mr.. Kremer has
most carefully concealed the source whence he
derived the statements contained in his famous
letter.
The rancour Of party spirit spares nothing.
