Delaware gazette and American watchman. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1828-1837, 1831-06-21
From the Baltimore Republican.

The Globe of yesterday published a letter from
ADAM HUNTsMAN, a Senator in the state legisa-
ture of Tennessee, correcting misrepresentation,
which has been current in the opposition papers,
in relation to an alleged letter written to him by
the President, covering Prospectus of the Globe.
That part of the letter of Mr.. Huntsnan which re.
lates to General Jackson, we publish below; the
part omitted contains structures upon the course of
the Telegraph, which not being material to the
question, 1t Is unnecessary to reprint them. It is
sufficient TO dsprove conclusively the title tattle
scandle of the Journal writer in relation to this
subject.
General Jackson's letter is now before the peo-
pie, brief, Enthusiastically prompt and republican
indicating in his private correspondence, the
same views feelings and principles which his
friends have uniformly been proud to claim for
him. The opposition are welcome to all they can
make of it. The allusion to nultifcation in the
Postscript, is explained by Mr.. Huntsman, as refer
ring to sentiments of his own in opposition to that
doctrine, which he had previously expressed to
General Jackson.
