Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1831-01-04

Extract from the Washington Correspondent
of he United States Gazette:
lyon and your readers have heard great
deal concerning the approach OF rupture be-
tween General Jackson and Mr.. Calhoun, or be-
tween the friends of those individuals. But you
NAV not vet have been enlightened as to the
around on which these statements have been made.
Very recently. the facts have leaked out from so
many quarters, that it can be no oager consider
ed as any secret of gentlemanly confidence or
courtesy to put them more prominently before
tie world. During the last winter. there was
GOODNESS on the part Of General Jackson towards
MIR. Calhoun, which was traced to an impression
un the mind Of the former, that the latter. while
a member of Mr.. Monroe's Cabinet, had actively
and euergeticallv labored to induce the rest OF
the cabinet TO acQuiesce in proposition to bring
General Jackson TO answer before Court Mar
tial for his conduct in the Seminole War. AS
soon as it was discovered that this circumstance
had reached General jackson, the friends of Mr.
Calhoun busted themselves IN remoyingit to the
best of their ability. 1t is said that correspon-
dence was opened. perhaps by MIR. calhoun him-
self. with MIR Monroe, with view to explain
aw " the impression, either by directly contra
dieting the statement. or puttingit In some torn
winch would exhonerate Mr.. Calhoun. who Is
was thus drawn frum Mr.. Monroe. which. for
the time satisfied General Jackson. But after the
close IF the session. something occurred to revive
the suspicions of the General, and cOrrespon-
dence with Mr.. Crawford took place, and alsO,'
as far AN informed, with Mr.. Calhoun. The
result of this correspondence has been the estab-
l,nmen1 to Gen is entire conviction, of the fact
that Mr.. C did urge upon Mr.. Monroe, the course
with which he had been charged. 1t the fact had not
beendenied by Mr. Calhoun, l 10 not know tlIatany
censure would have been properly cast upon him;
because the reasonable Inference must be that he
acted under solemn sense OF duty. and with a
view to the public interest. But it is tbs denia,
of the fact, which must, it proved before the
world, place Mr.. Calhoun in an unenviable atti-
tutle; because it must present him as Wiling
for the sake of retaining the influence of one whose
might and his political views, to surrender his
character for honor frmness, and veracity.-
NJ. Calhoun has always enjoyed the reputation
Of high minded man, who would not stoop to
meanness; but let this statement. which Is now
undermining his fame, and working his destruc-
tion. be borne out and do not think that he
could ever rise again in the public estimation-
u is probable that the facts will soon escape in
more formal and authentic shape.
If Mr., Calhoun be wronged. it is due to his
character and standing. that he set himself right
before the people. OD the other hand, 1t Gener-
>, Jackson feels that he has cherished an enemy,
he will probably bring forth the facts; unless he
may be restrained bv fear OF the consequences
of a separation, to his own views. To secure
his own reelection, he may consent to smother
the lurking fire in his bosom; but that will ONLY
he for time; it must, sooner or later, Weak
forth. At present, the impression Of the best in
fornedis, that separation Of the party is inevi.
