Ny DEAR Sir:
by the last mail had the pleasure
! Of receiving a letter from you. II understand
your letter, YOU appear think DubIic ex.
preston of my opinion the approaching election to
be proper | cannot think measure of this nature
necessary proper. In other words, it appears to
I me highly improper, and could hardly fail to stamp
the charge of intoerahle arrogance upon me in inGc
hhie characters. But few men expect 10 ar
rive a. that height that would justify step of tina:
kind, much less individual who lives in the most
absolute retirement, and who has ambition to EN-
orge from It. AN perfectly reconcilcd TO my si,ua-
ton. and would nos willingly eyclianoe IL with Mr.
Adams. But my opinions upon the next Preside n
tial election generally known. When MIR Van
Buren, and Mr. CamberlenS made me visit lsst Aprll
authorized them upon every proper occasion 70
make those opinion, known. Ths vote Of the Stale
OF Georgia will, certainly as that of Tennessee
be given to Gen Jackson in opposition to Mr. Ad-
ans. Tho only difficulty that this STATE has npou
tina, subject, Is that, Jackson should b. elected
Calhoun will come mo power | confess am n
, opprehenEivc of such result For write. II
me- Jackson ought 10 know and, if he does not he
7 shall know, that, at the Calhoun in Columbis
the term "Ailitary Cheftain" was banded about more
tippanty than by Cayi and that the family friend,
OF Mr. Calhoun were most active in giving it currency
and know personally that Mr. Calhoun favored NJ,
Adams's preten,ions until Mr. Clay declared for him
Tie we'll kne" that Clay would have declared fo,
Adams without it was well understood that he Cal
hotn, was to be put down if Adams's influence could
effect IT. 1t he was not friendly to his election WHY
did he suffer his paper to be purchased up by Adam
printer, without making stipulation in favor O
Jacksonf If you ascertain that Calhoun will mi
be benefited by Jscksons election, you will do him
benefit by commune ting the Information To me MI
wha, you please of this letter. and show il to whom
You please.
i am, dear sir, your friend
