1t is most probable that those statements are found
ed on Gen. Jackson's interpretation of the object OF
! Mr. Buchanan'a interview How did he obtain the
information which communicated TO th e Columbian
Observer? Upon the supposition that the letter was
prepared by Mr. Eaton, we can at once comprehend
Il. He perfectly appraised OF all that had passed
| between Mr.. buchanan and General Jack son. The
coincidence of the language employed in the letter
