and circumstances, that Gen. Cali wrote the letter in

any other friend of the General had tn ,,,mo,n
that gave my vote under the influence OF Mr. CLAW
have as much reason to infer that Con. Jackson
attempted TO influence my vote secretly, through the
agency OF his friends, for the purpose of alvanc-
