a nocturnal visit was there any thing ex-
sting that should have denied me this pri-
riisgs ?"
As. mr.. Kremer asserted that he did noe
write the letter to the Columbian Observer,
and ss Mr.. Eaton does not deny that he
wrote the Card, published in mr.. Kremer's
name, the inference is mol unfair that hav-
ing been mr.. kremer's adviser and sman-
uensls on one occasion, he acted in Tho
same character on the o,ker. Il is quite
clear that the statements in the letter to thc
Columbian Observer are not made upon mr..
kremer's own knowledge. lie speaks OF
reports, ruufors, &C. Overtures we're sold
to have been made, &C."
Ii is NEST probable that those statements
are founded on Gen. Jsckson's interpreta-
ton Of the object Of mr.. Buc hansh's inier-
view. How did, he obtain the iaiosnstiorS
which was commune ated to the Colum-
bian Observer Upon the suppositioh that
the letter was prepared by mr.. Eaton. We
can at once comprehend it--He VAS per.
fcctly spprised of all that bad passed be-
tween mr.. Buchspsn and Gea Jackson.
The coincidence Of the language em.
ployed in the letter to the Columbian Obs
server, with that Of General Jackson to mfs
Carter Beverly 10 very striking, and proves
that II has common origin. hr. kIemer
says, F" Overtures were ssId 10 have BEEN
made to the friends Of Clay, oesunS hisa
the appointment Of Secretary Of Sts,s fof
his aid TO elect mr. Adams" Gen. Jacks
son says lie fmr. Ruchsnsn) ssid he had
been informed by the friends Of mr.. Clay
that the friends ot mr.. Adsms had made
oyertures 10 them, saying Il mr.. Clay and
his friends would unite IN aid Of the elecs
ion If mr.. Adams, mr. Clay should be Se!
cretary OF State" The variations betwt eri
other parts ofthe two letters are not great
or than often occur in different narrativoS
Of tho same conversation. They are noe
70 greet as those which exist in the acs
couu,s which Gen. Jackson has himself gis.

parison of mr.. Bevosly's report Of the con4
versutlop, at the Hermitage, contaipsds in
his Fayetteville letter Of the 9th OF klavch
Inst, with Gen. Jackson's statement Of The
same conversation. in bis letter 10 mr. bev-
erly OF The 9th Of June. Speaking Of thie
letter MIR Beverly says IN his letter 10 W.
Zane, Esq. that Gen Jackson asserts q
great deal more than he ever told me"
From the intimacy which existed be-.
tween General Jac kson and mr.. Ealon and
iron, the fact, stated by them both, VI tho
knowledge which each possessed Of mr..
Buchanan's communication, il cannot .b0
reasonably doubted, If mr.. Eaton prepared
mr.. Kremer's letter. that Gen. Jack ckson was
acquainted with this fact. il 10 worthy Of
partic olar observation that up TO this dayS
us far a. am informed, mr.. KfemeT has
most carefully concealed the source wbencS
famous letter.
