 how paler that is designed to carry on concefleo

 So farl then, every thing is public, nothing IS se- cret no ber object but to detect, what would be called ahong farmers and plain people, t'c' put which inthe courtly style the higher circles would he vcleDad an act of duplicity The agents too all stand faI But the next idea that forces itself upon inc mint is where is the fasity of this statement l Can fruL be so managed to be worked up into plot, ani made to have the appearance oi fraud Have wj got back to the old English doctrine, that the "grelter the truth, the greater the lbeli II we have. tban Mir Calhoun has proved his plot And II the Amefican people are prepared for such Prlncr ple. tbeyshall not enjoy it without proper view o | it's absurAty. Ifthey can wrap such monster to their bosom, they shall not close their eyes to its de- formity We will present the case ialrly before them, and divested otits proxity and ambdexterlty Ii is simply this, MT Calhoun moves in the council to nunsh General Jackson for dsonedlence of or ders fails in his object reres from the council, aud says to Gen. Jackson, and th" nnrld was "11s 1ss fieeRH itfsd sdttdaa thf in ten days after tells the truth of the case to Mir Calhoun's own friends. The matter rests twelve years, much to the injury of that same individual, and perfectly unknown to General Jackson. Finally, he gets hint ofthe fraud-pro- cures from the injured individual statement of the | fct--presents it to MT Cahoun-he equivocates but cbnfesses the fact charges base plot and intrigue to ruinhim and wonderful to tell there people found weak enough to believe it! Thereafter the detection of fasehood and it's consequences are to be evaded by inc charge of conspiracy and intrigue, what viii liany is not safe from the scrutiny of virtue or the | wholesome scourge Of justice!
 The plot has now to be examined Tn other hands. Ihas got safely by three of the principal agents, and 1t seems but too other persons can now be found up- on whom to cast it. These are Mir Van Buren and James A. Hamilton. The former no where appears in the remotest degree connected with the affair." by any of the documents, and comes in for share of this dreadful conspiracy first because he is Secrea- | ryof State secondly, because he is among some of the fortunate individuals who spoken of for Pre- stent: thirdly, because he is intimate friend of | Mi Hamilton If there is any other proof we aver, | in he most solemn manner, our ignorance of save pchaps fact which will be presently mentioned. | Ndw ask candid men. men who would like to be judged by the golden rule of doing unto others as they would others should do unto them, whether if | political conspiracy was d crime punishable with death they would consent to take the life of MT Van Bren, upon the foregoing testimony? Ifthey would. then he il guilty of the plot If they would not, then let the whole community rise with one voice to pro- tect his REPUTATION, dearer to him than LIFE. | But Gtn. Jackson tells Mir Calhoun, (who charges Mir Van Buren with intrigue) sir you are mistaken; he has ndhng to do with the affair Is Gen Jackson to be belitvedl But, says Mir Calhoun, you are the dupe of his artful management: he has secret agents at work, 10 make you the 'Dictim of political in- trigue" Who does not perceisethe drift of such an insinuaton, that the very man supported by Mir Cal houn himself for the high office which he now holds, and which he has so ably filled, is old senseless dotard with so little discernment as to be played up on and deceived by every intriguant who wishes to use him as an instrumentl Mons:rous! Can the people cansent to think thus lightly, nay mean | ly, of man whose services have been of such character, that fthey bespeak trait of mind more than another, is great strength of intellect prompt to dscern ready to seize, readier to execute, and decided to fault, merely for the purpose of reliev ing Mir Calhoun from dilemma produced by his own folly and insncerity We are aware of an gument made use of by one of Mir Calhoun's prin- ters, which is Heterogeneous it was unfairly ob taned, and which fully shows the shifts to which skulking meanness is often driven for shelter from infany. This printer charges foul plot, base in trigue and shameful conspiracy against his friend Mir Calhoun-says Mir Van Buren has an agency in it, and calls upon him to clear himself of the charge When, upon these serious accusations, he openly comes out with prompt denial with any concern in the affair, because forsooth ho does not enter into long discussion to show that there is plot in trigue against Mir Calhoun, matter with which he had nothing to do and with which, it would have been folly in the extreme to have connected hmself behold his statement is q eutnal acknowledgment of the charges! Mir Van Buren has one consolation in this matter, which must and will protect him from the effect of such argument. GJ H comes from DUFF GREENE! A name that carries its own cure: for having long lost the merit of being believ ed, it has lost the power to deceive.
 | We come to the last person concerned in this vile plot, to wit: Mir Hamilton and if we have been so fortunate as to convince readers that all the other agents innocent, he might safely look for an acquital upon the force of that fact For pre- sume Mir Calhoun does not consider Mir Hamilton in his way, and trying to rob him of the Presidency much less can he suppose one man guilty of con spiracy But if we not greatly mistaken, in our viewof the correspondence betweenC Calhoun and Ha- milton-if we have moi most deusively overraed the character of some facts which we will exhibit-in- deed if we are not the dupes of miserable nfatua- tion we will not barely discharge Mir Hamilton from his indictment but incontestably prove MT Cal houn guilty of dupcity, to give it no worse name, as it is possible to establish fact by the agency of human language. This is bold averment but we stand pledged to make 1t true
 It is unnecessary to go through the whole pondence between these two gentlemen. Mir Cal houn complains in his supplemental that he was | oveneached by MT Hamilton! Rather a bad showing for of his high taents and character for pene-
 ation and if not greatly beed, for little circum venon himself! Be this as it may, Mir Hamilton has private interview with Mir Calhoun, and asks him certain question, to which he receives quivocal answer He tells him his object for the enquiry, and requests to know if he is to consider MT Calhoun's reply as confidential. By no means They part-Mr Hamilton goes on to NewYork; but, influenced by prudence which certainly indicates any thing but intrigue, he writes back to MT Cal houn to know if he understood him correctly in their previous conversation. This is the letter: "TO avoid
