WAeteT IL was more utSHOH0TdOfe to nave written the Nashville letter, than to have excited Ninian Ed. Yards to conspire with him to blast my reputation fJr ever, and fix stigma upon my innocent and nnoffending chldren2 The foregoing questions are submitted with the fullest confidence that the answers will be such as vrtuous community ought to give; IL the dishOaOrdJe conduct rises in regular grada tiPn, and teammates in climax The Vice Pres- don't is liberal in his charges of my enmity against hipi, l represented by him as his bitterest hls most inveterate enemy. 1t IS true, feel no friendship for him, and have not since the pubca- tiOn of the Nashville letter, and have never made declarations of friendship for him since that period What is the evidence which he produces of my en: mty to biml 1st. My letter to Alfred Bach, Esqr. 2d My letter to MT Barry respecting the election of Vcc President Tie reader is requested to compare thIs evidence with the charges which have just been es Eablshed by legal evidence, against the Vice Pre- si lent, and decide between us, which has furnished lhe most evidence ol enmity and resentment Some hesh author, l do not Iecollect which at this mo- lent, says that man who has been injured by an- olher, may forgive the injury. and even become the fiend of the person who inflicted the injury but that the person wEo inflicted the injury, can never be leeonced 10, or be the friend Of the person injured. If this reasoning is applied to the Vice President and myself, 1t must be evident that he can never become my friend, but that it is possible that should become his. But what does the Vice President mean, when he charges me with being his bnterest enemy' Does he mean that would do him an act of niustce of

If were to do it, l should render myself the accomplice of the injury which he might, and probably would inhict upon the community.
 As the Vice President in his notes to my letter, insists upon Mir M Dullies evidence and that evil dence is the foundation of almost all his reasoning, and of almost all the nerences drawn in lis eabo- rate letter of the Both of May 1890, is proper at for to say tLere is no truth in any part of Mir M Dulhes statement, except that passed thro' the village of Edge field the summerof and was at the house of Col. Simpkins. Every thing beyond that in Mir M Duilies statement is the fiction of his brain, (see Judge Moore's letter.N*) After reading that letter, the reader is informed that 1 passed through the village of Edgefed OH Friday morning; and arrived at Lexington Sunday 10 dinner. Col. Simpkins and Mir M'DuIie neither possessed Or merited my confidence. Messrs Moore, Cobb and Dudley Dunn,were my personal and political friends and neiehbors. Can any man in his senses believe would have made the disclosures attributed to me by Mir M'Duife on Friday morning and on Sunday should have cautiously refused all such communica- tions to my personal tonfdentia and political friendsi But in the Presdetial canvass of 1923 and 1924, every thing was wielded by MT Calhoun and his friends to inlure me, and none of those friends was more active than Mir Al'Dufhe. remember in one of his dinner speeches. at Cambridge think, he designated me the radical chief a term at that time, in the estimation of MT 'Duffe and his pat ron. Mir Calhoun, of the bterest reproach. If the facts contained in Mir M'Duife's letter to the Vice | President had been known, they would have been proclaimed al every cross roads, muster ground and even upon the house tops not only in South Caroli- na, but throughout he United States. Not wbIs per- however, was heard of them during that period of excitement, because they had not been hatched and were conceived and brought forth only when it was believed to be necessary for the Vice Presidents defence. Judge Moore, whose letter is herewith published, has been for npany years judge of the inferior court df Ogethoip county, and very exten- sively known in this Slate, and where he Is known enjoys the reputation off of honor, honesty, and veracy equal to that of Gsny man in the, State United States. His statements are therefore enti- tied to full credit. Dr Dunn, who now resides in West Tennessee no doubt recollects the same facts, and will doubtless confirm thsm when required. It may be right to state that my visit to Col. Smpkins' house was confined to the time which elapsed be-
 tween the breakfast of the passengers and the start
 ing of the stage. Every person who has travelled in
 the stage knows that it generally ready to start be- fore the passengers have finished their meals. My visit to Colonel Simpkins, ther tfoe, have been | for Il very few minutes, yet Mr M'Duffe has far nshed hls friend with materialA for hours con- | versaton at least. The reasons contained in my letter of the 2d of October, were sufficient to have convinced any truth-speakng man, of the falsehood of Mir DuiIies statement, but nm not at all sur prized that the Vice President did not feel their force as his own conduct did not enable him to appreciate | them.
 The Vice Presidents pamphlet disclose piece of evidence that had not before seen. It is the let ter of Robert s. Garnett, late member of Congress from Virginia. Mir Garnett in his letter, seems to be in haste to make the important communication. | To use the huntsmans phrase le seems to have gone off at ha!f bent. In his letter to the Vice Pres dent he makes me say aat General Jackson ought to be condemncd, and the extract from his diary which immediately follows (and which it is presumed before him when he wrote his letter,) makes me say thatthe General ought to De censured Now, it is se rously submitted to every rational and reflecting person, whether the diary of is entitled any credit who cannot distinguish between the words condemned and censured. l conscentiously believe that never used either of the words ascribed to by Mir Garnettl My conduct towards Mir Cobb up- on the subject of his resolutions contradcs Mir Gar netl's diary. tt So does Judge Moores letter. So does my recollection of the sentiments entertained of the propriety, or rather of the mproprety of a legislative inquiry into the subject But will not press this subject further, for really have no unkind
 feelings towirds MT Garnett and had rather be sub- Il ected the slight shade of inconsistency his da- ry may cast upon me, than that he should be sub. jected to much grayer imputaton.
 The Vice President in one of his notes says that a very material part of Mir Adams letter to me has been withheld by me- That material part is mega. tlVeWnOHy hnu II VIII pe sten ny uo dnneAeu eAtfact f of my letter to MT Adams. tt l did not expect he remembered any thing about the confidential letter, and assigned my reasons for it. MT Calhoun has doubtless received copy of my letter from MT Ad- ans asI have authorized him tofurnishit. If there is any thing in that letter which in his opinion tends to contradict or weaken the force of that extract he can expose it by publishing the whole letter. MT

 to bring General Jackson to trial but does not state t by whom it was urged. Ih my letter of the 2d of | 6- I sl.
