Mr.. Adams. The assertion imputed to Gen.
Jackson is ridiculous on tho face oft Admit
ting that Mr.. Clay and his friends we're oscil-
Iaiinp. previous to the charges made against
Mr.. Clay, Of which MIR. Kremer afterwards as
sumed to be the author, those charges must
have separated them from General Jackson and
hi. friends: but, as between Mr.. Adams aud
Gen. Jackson, neither Mr.. Clay nor his friends
doubted for moment whom to support, and II
i, had been known on the day that Congress met
tina, MIR. Clay would not be returned, and the
vote ,ba, had then been taken, considering Mr.
Cra.ford's illness,) the result would have been
the same as when the election was held. II
Mr.. Claws friends were hating between two
opinions, on the morning of the election no"
happens i, the charges OF fraud, corruption
bargain, auG sale, were made ten days or fort
nigh, b, fore tina, time? IfGeneral Jackson has
any evidence in his possession TO sustain his
declaration. why does he withhold it from the
pubic?

MANSFIELD, .. May Gath, 1927.
Dear Sir: Your favor OF the 2nd instan, was
just received, giving statement OF The con-
tents of a letter said TO have been written by a
highly respectable Virginian, relative 10
statement SAID To have been made by General
Jackson, on the subject of the la:e Presidential
Election.
Before proceed, in justice to The General, I
will say that do not believe chat he ever made
the declaration alluded to by the writer OF said
letter, for the General was there when the E
lection took place, and must inevitably have
known that such statement would carry false
hoos on the very face Of it. II was we'll known
that some Of the friends Of Mr.. Clay, from 0.
hio, would not, in any event, give their sup
port to Cen JAG kson, bee ause Mr.. Adams was
their second choice, and believed to be the Sc
cond choice Of majority Of the people of this
State: and further, General Jackson must know
that two weeks previous 10 the election, Mr
Claw and his friends were assailed in a vulgar
and uncen,lemanly manner for declaring their
intention to vote for the present Executive; yet
this PROPOSITION is said to have been made TO
The friends of General Jackson, that on certain
conditions, "the General should be President
in one hour" which, If true, must have been
made only one hour before the Canvass took
,lace in the House This statement OF itself
needs no refu,a,ion cxcep, for the respectable
source from which il is said to have emaneted,
was in the House, believe, every day OF that
Session at which the President was elected;
have no hesitation in saying, that so lar from
making any proposition, or overture, were the
friends Of Mr. Clay, in favor OF the Genera,
that had The friends Of the General made such
a proposition, we would have considered It as
an indigu,y offered TO our integrity and UNDER
standing. I could not have voted Tor the Ge-
neral, in any event, for many reasons-!wo OF
which viii mention: First, believe him FAR
sssenissssan! - ether Candidates ~ point q
friend to the Tariff to protect the ma. Ifac,ures
OF our own country. will also mention that
! had entertained doubts of his being friendly
TO i.derna improvement unde. the direction Of
the General Government. These opinions
have been, within The presen, year, verified by
declarations, and the course pursued by the
Generals leading friends, and his silence on
the subject. after being solicited 10 come out.

concern as 20 who he nigh; have appointed
members of his cabihel and, as To- Mr. Gays
accepting an appointment undcr him, they
would 10 a man, have most certainly opposed
it. I Judge If this from The opinion which
know they entertained Of General Jacksun's
want OF capacI'y, and the TACT that il was not
until some :ime after the choice of Mr.. Adj
ans thai they agreed 10 advise Mr.. Clay TO &C

acceptance has always been regarded by them
as favor done 10 the country, and not as one

have supposed that proposition of The kind
would have been Instantly closed |
with: but no such propositions were ever made
