Yet he, with his name on the im- print of the Courier and Enquirer, permits the publication of paragraph proposing the return to me of certain letters in supp port of the Administration, upon the con- dition of my paying postage! At the time that paragraph was published, the gentle man to whom allude, knew full wei! that had voted for Gen. Jackson twice, when he had voted for him only once and that my then friendly letters proceeded from the most sincere desire to sustain my oIG friend, the pupil of my father but when all hope was extinguished of rescnIng n'm from the malign counsels of his Poiignac Minister and his minions, l pursued the obligations of every good citizen to his country and denounced the administration of Gen.
