Kincaid in the Congressional District recently req
resented by Mr. Moore minister to Colombia) has
drawn from the Washington Telegraph te following
contradictions:

We believe that more ~hardihood uf affirmation and
DENIAL was never known in any country, than
Jackschism has given rise 10 in this. What are
tile circumstances attending this transaction?-
Mr. kncaid and Mr.. Booker, both Jacksonians.

Iemnly states, that Mr.. Tanner, Editor of a violent
Jackson paper, publicly observed, that Mr.. Van
Buren, had written to hun (Tanner) expressing a wish
that Mr.. Booker might succeed. The fact that Tan
hcr SAID so, l. proved by four or five DISTINGUISHED
witnesses, and the observation beng reducedly them
Or Mr.. Kincnid, TO writing, Tanner c~onfesses that il
contained what he said. The statement reaches r
Van Buron's ears, and he denies all knowledge Of
Tanner, or having written any such letter. VINO arc

unquestionably declared that Mr.. Van Buren, had V rt.
ten hin such a letter. Is it possible that he would
