Part of this letter is probably fanci!u' for however

Adams great experience, nobody can suppose that
the Illuminating confession would be- made to him.
But there has been correspondence without doubt,
and we imagine, IN reference 20 Mr.. Adams agency
in the transactions of 1915, with a view TO make 1t
part Of the reply which Gen Jackson meditatcs 10
Mr. Calhoun's Pamphlet.
THERE'S infinite satisfaction to we'll disposed mind
IN the reflection sustained by wha is even passing
before eyes in the moral world that retribut,on
oyertakcs every departure from truth and Justice,
sooner or later and hat very generally this retribu-
ton springs manifesy out OF the deviation ITSELF
We see nOto, beautiful moral proprety 10 Mr.. Ad-
ans being beaten by Gen Jackson--that the very
man whom he saved from punishment and disgrace,
when he had richly deserved both should in the
process of time become instrument in the hands OF
fato, to avenge upon him, his protection and defence
Of lawless and unconstitutional conduct.
To Dir Adams strenuous stand for him IN Mr. Mon
roe's cabinet Jackson is indebted for IMMUNITY in his
Florida conduct-conduci for which, MIR Adams him
self admitted, shooting in the case of a subordinate
officer, would have been too good. That impunty
in the elevation which it gave Jackson, above the
Constitution, the law, and accountability became The
fountain from which the waters Of bitterness have
since flowed Had he been tried and cashiered, he

that, snltten by late conjunction, aud the accumu

tunes, the Hero has sought n correspondence wit
