You may see the whole transaction eX-
posed in the United States Telegraph, I
and "a confirmation of the fact IN the col
umns Of the paper alluded to-I meda
that Purchased. 1t would be extremely
idle, therefore, to communicate To MAJOR
Lewis, a fact which he well knows | am
perfectly familiar with. In truth, the I'M
blushing corruptions oithis administration
have long formed theme of my ami
madversions with the President HIMSELF
and at last, as reelection approached,
have become so hagraut aud open, that
no man can shut his eyes to the glare of
pollution, whose beams penetrate every
nook and corner of the Union, and flash
upon every observer the conviction of Il
Walpolo ministry, having the patronage
of government now IN their hands, which
they abuse for the special purpose Of Sc
curing IA recollection Docs this, sir,
meet with your appreciation;
Time, as it rolls on, gives birth to the
most unexpected revolutions, and reals-
es the most incredible predictions. TO
you belongs the peculiar sagacity of hay-
inc forseen, and announced in antclpa-
ton to the world, that Jackson's election
would ''prore q c,T&e 10 ihe coadW'-
and to myself attaches the djsc.cdt of
having been originally instrumental in
producing the revolution, which eYcntu-
stcd in his success. We are both to
Llame-you for having supported ii man
whose election you thought would bring
curse on the republic, and for having
been so grossly dcludcd, rs to Imagine
that mere military act in haitian W0.jHe
and Md;1a nceciiaij.H, formed IA QuaIii-
cation for the high functions Of supreme
govcrnmcnt,-in It's civil duties, requir-
ing enlarged science, profound lurlspru-
dencc, and practical and refined states
manship.
Ofthe purity of the Presidents mo-
tives, have little to say, and il as little
concerns the people to know, or to be-
lieve that good intentions will never atone
for actions, or paiiate rlnouN measures; !;
and all the patriotism Of all the Romans
could not Justify him in sacrificing the
country; its moral sense, it, unsuIicdhon-
or-its yirtuous sympa'hles, aud Ms polu-
ical integrity, to the reputation of u polit-
ical chariGiWl-the vcracity Of IA luvorite,
without either principles or talcnts-or
the character of Il woman, OF at least du
bious prctcnsions to an equality with C@-
sar's wife.
For the first time in the history Of this
country, we behold the amazing spccta-
Gle of doUbic cqbiaet--a private irre-
sponsible onc-Eaton, Kendall, Lewis
& Co.---and nominal political one,
whose only qualification, is, ready &C.
quiesccnCc with the dccrecs OF the for
mer, aud non-rcsistancc to the caprice of
lady. Comment is supererogatory.-
This country has never before been visit
ed BY the degradation.
The original friends of Jackson nom-
mated him, and were pledged TO sustain
him only for ONE TERM Standing SOME
what conspicuous in that part, am bound
to the people, as well as to my principles,
to give hln no support for a reelection.
This | shall proclaim to the people, with
my reasons, for Il cause originally prompt
ed by Il desire to reform what ! conceiv-
ed TO be gross abuses, subsequently con-
tirmed BY his own declarations, and since
frequently attcstod by his avowals, his
conversations, and his messages to Con-

NoTE.-lt is impossible to conceive Of
more gross tel Ieiyersaions and more in
veterate ambition, than is shown in the
discrepancy between the professions and
actions of President Jackson, having a.
bandoned all his old positions, except that
relating to the Bank of the t. States, s
even this he is now willing to compro-
mise.
Such was the correspondence, which
has excited 50 violent an chusion of
wrath and dcnunciation on the part ofthc
venerable and consistent editor of the
Richmond lnquircr--Who, as ambitious
to emulate 'thc roaring ofthe Lion, has
so efectuaIIy lost sight of the dignity of
the man, aud the poIltoncss of the gentle
man. On future occasion, shall hold
up to this autocrat OF the press, mirror
that will reflect his real character, in col
ors calculated to disturb even his self
complaccncy. have compimentcd him
for his polite sn@oci'Y in respect to Cen
eral Jackson, but shall never fattcr him
for his honesty, his candor, his poiiencss,
or his principles, or envy him ior his wit,
temper, or bcneyolence.
