MT Van Buren was accused, without shadow of proof, of having procured the submission of MT Craw- ford's letter to the President to excite his hostility against the Vice President. MT Van Buren has solemnly declared that he knew nothing of the circumstances which produc- ed this result, and has given the most positive assurance that he had not the least knowledge of the efforts made by the friends of General Jackson to obtain information in relation to the proceedings of MT Monroe's Cabinet, or any subsequent participation in the matter.- He appeals fearlessly to the President-to MT Hamilton-to MT Forsyth-to MT Lew is-"to all who have been actors in the ad- mitted transactions" for the correctness of his declarations; and he is sustained in his statement by every man connected with the affair." Does MT Calhoun come out then with proof to meet a declaration so explicit, so un- reserved, and so sustained? Not an atom. He comes out with nothing but hardihood and bold assertion, pronouncing authoritatively that "the disapo4vai Of 11r Yan Buren can De considered in TO other Hght rhon on ac- knoauiedgemem oof the constiracy.

Msy we not be per- mitted to ask MT Calhoun to explain how the ignorance of Mir Van Buren of the affair in question, and his declaration of that fact, can nave the effect to make the transaction an odious one," or otherwise, Or how does MT rF that the inquiries were not made with a view to defend General Jackson, or to reconcile him to MT Crawford? elf that were the view, (says the Telegraph) there is no ncces- sity for the dsavowal." Called on as MT Van Buren has been, there was a necessity that he should tell the truth; and this state ment of facts on the part of Mir Van Buren averring that he had no knowledge of the transaction alluded to, is called "disapozvQl, by MT Calhoun--is made to infer guilt upon nocent inquiries prompted by the solicitude
