We refused to read the correspondence be.

most against hope. even up to the last moment
that the eyes Of the President would be opened
and that a reconciliation would take place

We (oresaw that, as Mr.. Calhoun had been the
most efficient member OF the Jackson party; that
as the press was already organised in support, or

III. The following Letter from Commodore
Tucker was received this morning, September
Sd, 1882.
BREMEN. sept. ISL, loo@.
Mr. HEwEs-I have Just perused the follow
Ing statement of the LINCOLN INTEfLI-
GENCER, which pronounce to be ENTIRE.
LY and TOTALLY FALSE. 1t reads thus:--
"CoMMoDoRE TUCKER, We learn. from
what we consider sufficient authority for stating
the fact that this aged Ueteraa OF the Revolution
has. since the Veto Message appeared, came our
the decided Friend aud supporter Ut the Old HE-
RIO at the head of our Government. One such
accession as this is worth speaking of. The old
Commodore. as well as old Hickory. has fought
the battles Of his Country, and he can duly APP
prec,ate the Roman hrmnees and independence
Of him who dares do what is right, regardless Of
his own popularity"
| say again, that the foregoing from the Intel
Iigencer, isa FALSE and UNPRlNCIPLED
FABRICATION. have never thought that
Andrew Jackson had those civil qual,ic atoms
requisite for Chief Magistrate Of the w. Safes.
And every day tends more and more convince
me of his total un fitness to be the President of
this Republic.
| To mention one out Of the innumerabe in
stances where he has exhibited most Iupardon,
able violation of his durv. as we'll as of tn Con-,
stituuon, Is enough to convince ever, rehrcins
man, that the stability and perpetuity Of this
Government ARE ENDANGERED. / al'nde
to the case Of GwiN. After he had been
jected by the S nate Of the U States, the Pee
sident still continues him in Office. Such wan.
ton and un,heard-of violation off hs COnsfi.uton
has never been known since the existence If nur
Government. Under snch circumstances, IN
stead o. wishing to see Gen. jackson reelected
to the Presidency. should deprrcate it as one
ofihe greatest erits that couli befH our Couniry
But do hope aud trust that the good sense and
wisdom of the people of the U States wilt ee-
vate to the highest office ia their power that dis
tinguished Statesman and Patriot HENRY
CLAY, whose splendid talents and liberal views
of national policy have shed SO much lustre on
the reputation Of his country. and entitle him to
the lasting gratitude ofevery American.
When was fighting the battles of My Coun
try for Liberty and Independence against the
proud Lords Of GIea, Britain, little thought
that Governor Of any of the United States
would basely sell part Of his State. and ION!
dssraceiuD a part Of our citizens to these same
Brtish!!! The Jackson party have done this
in our own State. and il the people vote for such
officers, then farewell to that Liberty and indie
