Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1828-10-10

We have waited for some time, in the hope
of obtsining a confederation Of the statements
made by Mr.. Green IN the letter we insert IN
our columns Of to-day, before we give 1t pub
lici,y; not that either the character OF Mr.
Green or Of MIR. Moore was such as to cast any
reasonable doubt on the accuracy OF the details,
but that we were des,rous :hat the facts should
go forth to our readers so strongly fortified as.
20 be invulnerablr 10 scepticism or nisrepre>
senta,ion. The allegation Of Mr. Green is, In
substance, that Major 1. P. Moore. a Repre-
sentative in Congress from Kentuckv, and a
very sctiv. partisan of Gen. Jackson, commu.
nicateG to ano,h-r representative from the same
State, that il Gen Jackson was elected. Colonel
Richard NJ. Johnson would be Secretary oil
War, aud Intimated that his colleague, 20 whom
he made the statement, might, by voting ior
Jackson, obtain the vacant sea, In the Oni'eG
States Senate. This was previous TO the 'as'
election; and The fact is quoted TO show how
pure is the source from which has come The
charge of bargain and corruption against The
present Administration
While the letter Of Mr.. Green lay on our
desk, we received a copy of an address recently
published by David Trimblr, lately a represent
tali,e from Kentucky, which throws a strong
light on the charge Of Mr.. Green. Our read
ers will, un a perusai of the subJoined extract,
from a reply, made by Mr.. Mricalfe, the pre-
sen, Governor Of kentucky, under date Of DC.
tober 6, 1926, 10 a letter from Mr.. David Trim
BILE, perceive that il succinctly corroborates the
whole statement Of Mr., Green:-
at was no, long after The meeting OF Con
gres SIS, and | think about The time, or a little al
Ter, The news reached US al the city, OF Gen,
Jsckson's journey through this StaIe, and oil
the dinners given him., sc. that I. Z. Moore
made to me, in substance, the following com
munication:
ale stated that he had jus, receIred a letter
from Col. M'Afee, informing hlm-and ! think
he said requesting him 10 inform me-that In
The event Of Jarkson's election To- the PresiGen.
ey, l nigh, be elected to the Senaie, and that !
would in that case receive the votes OF my
friends. was at q loss TO perceive how The
election of Jackson could bring me SO near thr
Sena e! and l asked him how such an event
could happen, as no vacancy could occur Tor
several years in Kentuckv? His answer was
"lf Jackson is elected, Col. Johnson will re-
Ceive the appointment Of Secretary OF War"
| then a,krd him how il could be so under
stood? He replied, with 4 significant nod, that
IN passing through Kentucky, the friends oil
he General, or the General himself-1 am not
certain which-had given the inlinarion 10 the
friends. of Col. Johnson.
"These are the facts in the case-facts which
| made known TO some of my friends INN d.
a'ely after the commune alton vas made To me,
and TO Others with but little reserve, since that
time. And if circumstances should hereaf' er
make il necessary, the foregoing statements,
and something more on the same subject. shall go
forth TO he world-for in The face Of all the
world, and Of Him sha!- mses il. !smaa j, wiling
ceny them. If he does, however painful the
issue, 'he world must Judge between US; and if
the decision is against me, I will TAKE ap an.
peal, with he most perfect Certainty Of 81. :
cess, 10 that unerrlng tribunal which is beyond
the verge of this fee,ing existence /.
THOMAS ME rCALFE."
1t thus appears that the charge Of Mr.. Green
is borne out in every particular, and that MIR.
Mctca'fe was himself he Representative 10
whom the communication Of Mr.. Moore was
made. With his hands unwashed Of this barge.
think Major Moore will BIZ discreet enough
to say no more respecting bargain and corrup.
