The Washington correspondent fthc Phila-

en,itlrd to weight, from their general accuracy,
gives the following version of the rumors in
that city
During the last winter, there was colt

satisfied Genplal Jackson. Bot after the close
Of tie session, something occurred 10 revive
the suspicious Of the General aud n correspon-
dence with Mr. Crawford took place. and also,
A. far asI am informed, with Mr.. Calhoun.
The ;e.uIt OF this correspondence has been the
establishment, TO Gen Jackson's entire convic-
non. OF the fact that Mr.. Calhoun did urge IA
the Cabinet of MIR. Monroe, thp course Wi h
which he hal been charged. II The fact had
not been DENIED by Mr.. Calhoun, do not
know that any censure would have beeen pro
n rly cast upon BIN because the reasonable
lnlt renee must be that be acted under IA solemn
sense of duty, and with view to the public
interest But il is the denial of the fact,
which must, If proved before the world, place
Or Calhoun in an unenviabe attitude be
cause il must present him as willing, for the
sake OF retaining the influence OF one who
might aid his political yirws II surrender his
character for honor, 6rmness, and veTacl

A third history of the affair is 6 ven in the
