principal agent, the establishment of this
paper uhe Globe) would have been dis
couraged, and it is presumed would new
or have taken place"
The Globe was established on account
of inrgues of which it is said ! was the
principal agent! What were those i'll
trigucs? and what was the agency which
had in thcm' iorcsaw, and ioretold
to Gen. jackson, and to Major Eaton,
himself, the consequences of ma or "a
tons appointment Was that an intrigue
hostile to Gen. Jackson? If so, it was an
intrigue common to his best friends, in
which many Of them participated; which
Gen. jackson, himself, at the time, yea,
ana ma or Eaton, too, approved; for it
was not until the "ANARICE" OF Amos
Kendall, and thc spell of the magician,
broodng over "tho circumstances of
l829," hatchcd the base calumny, that
! was suspected othostility to Gen. Jack
son. Then major Lewis visited New
Nork, and raised mr.. Forsyth's letter
from its depository, the desk Of maj
Hamilton. But mr.. Kendall, after ad-
miting that the Globe was established on
account of the part which had taken i'll
this matter, says "we need not dwell up
on the condition Gen. Jackson would
have been in on recent occasion, had
he been obliged to rely Oh such friends
as the Telegraph"
Here is AN admission that the estab-
lishmcnt the Globe was precipitated by
the espondence. That was not pub
lishcd until the 18th of February, the
Globe was established in December. |
need not bring better letter Of credit to
the public, than the single fact, that those
who established it, knew, that before |
would become party to the "plot," ]
would cheerlully iorego the patronage,
worth at least three thousand dollars per
annum, which they withdrew from me
Tor its support. Could | adduce better
proof Of the honesty Of my purposes: |
had fought through the conflict; my yes
sci was safely in port; ] was reaping the
profits Of my voyage; and the consplra-
tors knew that before | would become
one Of the band, would again put to sea
on short allowance. Is not this compli-
ment, coming from the quarter it does,
worth boastng of?
1t has fallen to my lot to bear an i'm
portant part in the political conflicts of the
last six years. My pen, my purse, and
my health have been devoted to ad-
vance what | conceive to be the oest
interests of my country, with an ardor
seldom equalled, and an industry which
never tired. My motto is, "Ihe truth
is the best remedy in desperate cases."
and upon that / place my reliance. To
verify what | have said, | refer to the
internal evidence apparent in the face Of
my statement, and to the candor ofthose
to whom much that | now repeat, is a
thrice told tale. | might moralze upon
my position. | might say to my readers,
that not content with depriving me of the
patronage of the public Offices, the
agents of the Globe are engaged in
hunting up my subscribers, and persuad-
ing thcmi 10 substitute that paper for this.
A government paper got up and main

conicsscdly controlled by Government
officers, in the place of ono whose fault
is, that it will not become prostitute to
an influence, which, if exposed to the
American people in all its deformity,
whilst it mantled the check of modest
virtue, would call forth, to my support,
the united appreciation and influence Of
all those who bplipyp that

that this publication will be cited rs
proof. 1t is not so. My desire is to
save him. He is on a precipice, and if
he does not cast off those who have
abused his confidence, his fame, which
! have cherished as IA bright inheritance
for his country, will be shipwrcckcd,
and with it the fuircst hopes of the re-
publican party. hope that that party
will speak, and that he will hear; that
there is enough of talent and virtue a
