Proof Qf Negatre-The Editor of the Tele graph charged the President with requiring certain members of his late cabinet, through member oi Congress, to associate with the family of another member of the cabinet, as the conditition on which he would retain them in office.
 We denied the charge so far as the president was concerned.
 It was repeated
 We again denied it, and further denied that the member of Congress supposed to be referred to, had ever borne such a message.
 It was again repeated.
 Having ascertaned the member of Congress al- luded to, and having obtained assurance from him that the statement false. we contradicted the story peremptorily, and called for proof. Had we not right then, if the Telegraph still insisted on is affirmation, insist part that it should pro- duce the proof of the oitness referred to having borne the message from the President? Col. John son is the individual whom the Telegraph has point. ed out the witness connusant of the whole matter and communicating between the President and the cabinet It was certainly the business of the party making the charge to call out the facts from Col Johnson, to establish his affirmative position. In stead of doing this the Editor of the Telegraph re- qures us to prove that his charge not true.
 At this point should have dropped the con troversy, but we have understood that it is reported to give countenance to the contradiced statement o the Telegraph that Mir Berrien has received letter from Col. Johnson, which shews that had nc warrant for the denial we made as to him. We take the liberty therefore of quoting from the letter of Col Johnson which we have, his express declaration that the President did not make the exaction of the mem bers of his cabinet charged by the Telegraph. The Col says:
 "He" (GeneraiJackson) "neoer authorized me tc require social intercourse, &c. Sc. He afeays dis claimed it. Itoid the parties sO." These are the words of the Col to the word, point, and letter. Il this does not satisfy, must refer the parties mak ing the charge, to the witness called by hem- Globe
 The United States Teiegraph-For the informa ton of our readers, we copy the following from ar article in the Telegraph of Friday lest purporting tc detail conversation between the Editor and Will liam Smith Esq. of Virginia: .4
 We further stated, that great injustice was done us by those who attributed the course of the Tele graph to the establishment of the Globe. The esta bishment of dt paper had only prccipitaied he mea SureS ehich had caied forth the animadrerson of his press That those measures having been resolved upon the establishment of the Globe became par of them, because the actors knew that they would be condemned by the Telegraph. We further told MT Smith, that in one respect, the establishment o the Globe relieved us. It being avowedly under the patronage, and the creation oithe administration its attacks upon us made free, and that, being free we were resolved to be that we wished it to be distinctly understood that henceorh we mustered ir no mans livery. To the question, of whether we preferred Mir Clay to Gen. Jackson, we replied that we were opposed to the election of Mir Clay and that we never could support it. That we hac been sincerely and ardenty desirous to unite the party in support of the reelection of General Jack but that such had been the conduct those abou him that we believed that to be impossibe; that al though we preferred Gen. Jackson to MT Clay, we greatly preferred Mir Clay to Amos Kendall & Co.,. and could support the election of neither, if Gen Jackson continued to yield his confidence and the controll of public affairs to Kendall & Company"
 Remarks-Here are two important admissions
 I. That the course of the Telegraph would have been precisely it is had the Globe been es tabshed
 ?. That MT Green "greatly prefers NR CLAY, with Daniel Webster, Tristan Burgess Ambrose Spencer, the United States Bank and tn, "Ameri can System," to ANDREW JACKSON, with Amos Ken dall and w. B. Lewis as Auditors, and r P. Bla as Printer of few Executive jobs The republican party will now see, tht we have not misrepresented the purposes or the principles ? the Telegraph Edtor.-Giobe.
