MR BRANCH AND THE LATE SECRETARY
OF WAR.
we have already published the article from the Globe,
which authorised by Major Eaton challenges Governor
Branch to the production of the testimony which he in
tated he could adduce to establish tine existence OF the
malipn influence which drove him and Mr.. Ingham
from the Cabinet requiring sacrifices at their hands,
which as men of honor, they could not make But as
the controversy evidently has not terminated, this
caIlenge of Major Eaton further disclosures
i1iI probability, from Mr. Branch and Others and a.
subject is curious as well as important lVovng
as It does the secret history of Administration
whose rule constitutes memorable, as well as mean
choly epoch in American history we are induced to re-
publish it second tmc to put our readers IN nun pos
session of its nature and afford them the benefit of
reading the text the commentaries OF the Telegraph
simultaneously. ,;:,o, ..
ton We beg them to remember who Duff Green Is
that he is the who perhaps w2s more instrumental
than any other in making Gen. Jackson Presden-that
he was the confidential Editor of the Party, who when
the was assaed by the friends of Mr. Adams, sustan
ed him against all attacks, placed him in situation OF
distinguished elevation and eolument and overwheim-
ed him with caresses, and patronage we oeileve al
together unexampled in this country OF unquesloned
talents possessed of all the to secret and con-
dental intelligence interested obviously, to preserve
the Jackson party its integrity his character and Gre
dbility vouched by that party tsewe again invoke,
undivided and attention. to what this former
Atlas ofthe Jackson party, THIS ITS CONFIDEN-
TfAL ORGAN AND INSTRUMENT, SAYS OF
GEN. JACKSON.
What is it? That Gen. Jackson ''IIAS BEEN IN
DUCED TO YIELD HIS OWN JUDGEMENT:
AND PUT HIS OWN FAME, THE INTERESTS 7 crest
OF THE COUNTRY, AND OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY, UPON A DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO CONTROUL THE PRIVATE INTERCOURSE
OF SOCIETY"
Had we alledged this, alledge it we did three
months ago, the allegation would now have been pro
nounced, it was then pronounced "a coalition lie.
Emanatng from a Jackson man, inmate with all the
parties familiar with all the circumstances, what can
be, what ,oiU be said to lit That it is not true? We
again reerae, that its truth is notorious at Washing
ton-that it has been for eighteen months the theme
of general conversation of indignant amazement and
of painful regret in all the circles OF that city-that
Jackson Members of Congress have openly proclaimed
It, and stiematized it-that the delicacy thrown over
the subject by the of of the parties has alone
prevented it from being made topic IN the pubic
r;nts II bas come out ut last, roporly and
shall see how the partizans OF the PRESIDENT WIZ
or evade, charge which they can neitheF repe
admit.
If it be rue-if it be made out to the satisfaction OF
the American Public, that the PRESIDENT has made
sesperate attempt conroul the private intercourse
eff society bv forcing upon it whom it was unwil
ling to receivef be made manifest, tnat TINS was
the hinge upon which the whole cabinet machinery re-
votyed-that those who aided and countenancea the
desperate attempt" loaded with favor ana patron
age while those who opposed 1t, orfeltea tne grace
t6e Chief MAGISTRATE, and expelled from his CONN.,
dence and the public councs-if these extraordinary
facts be made manifest, how will the force OF the dis
graceful truth be broken, how will it be extenuatcd

dare to press his aelection upon tho AMERICAN Peope

Injurious intmaons, intended TO reach the character
of an unnamed individual whom ne ventures not 10 s-

ticar bearing, and used by the humble
Who act in concert with him. to produce political results
from assaults on private character. Mr. Branch cauti-
rsI,, sbrods himself under nuendoes, and leaves to
srise the facts which he says ought to be laid before
the public. Why does he not act like a man? lie has
been called upon to come out openiy-to speclfy-and'

REMARKs-This publication is perfectly in character
with the blind infatuation which prcsumos upon the

To vent her prowcss in storm of words
And to the valiant actions speak alone" And
There is courage but in innocence"
