As Mr. hreIner asserted that he did not write
tne letter to the Colum ban Observer, and as Mr.
Eaten does not deny that he wrote the Card pub
hshed IN Mr.. kremer's name, the inference i moi
Unfair that having been MIR. Krcmer's adviser and
ainanuensis ON one occasion, he acted in the same
character on the other. 1t is quite clear that fbe
statements in the letter TO the Columbian Observer
arc not made upon Mr.. KS own knowledge He
speaks oTeports, rumoTs &c. "Oyertures were sgjd
10 nave been made, &C."
1t Is most probable that those statements are
rounded on Gen. Jackson's Interpretation of the OBJ
Jcct OF Mr.. Buchanan's interview. How did he
OBTAIN the information which communicated 70
the Columbian Observer? Upon the supposition
that the letter prepared by MIR. Eaton, we can
at once comprehend it. He Was perfectly appris-
cd OF all that had passed between MIR. buchanan
and Gen. jackson. The coincidence of the Ian
guage employed in the letter 10 the c. Observer
WIN that OF General Jackson 10 Mr.. Carter Be-
very IS very striking, and proves that it has COM
