 1 To the Editor ot'the Baltimore Patriot:
 [ NATcHEZ, Sept. 26, 1894. 1 Sir: have this moment read in the Ric'mOnd Whig letter addressed to you, dated Montpelier, Va. August 25ilI, 1884, which myself, and claims my attention. It is true l did not leave the stage GOrdOnsVitle, and it is also that knew inc President fthe United States be at the hotel at which the stage stopped to change horses, bUi the inierence that the presence Of inc President: oI ofaDy other person, influenced sond0ct that OccasO0, s",'erIy false. fe ndisposed from fatigue and loss or sleep, and preferred to remain quiet, while the OIh CT passengers were refreshing themselves. It may have Battered the vanity of President Jackson, amts doubtless did, to imagine himself bold 0n, tar feeble mortal like self would tren,hle in his aies- iy's presence. Irejoce then # ito any manner nnB have bee" the cause of imparting happiness tOths gust parsonage, in the midst of his aflictons uuLn and private. had the satisfaction for rather inc modification. regarding him the Chief Mag eis,rl.el to look upon him surrounded by s'agedri, and tiers, n the porticn of his Lo,e but confess ihs scene did not constitute any particular inlucemens with me iO form of the co+re. or his ibera of
 fer to pay Ie iaBGlady for my breakfast and the an- guase he used the occasion, it may be proper Gor at this time say only few words rese wing fr- ther developments until shall arrive at the City Ot Washington. So long as Gen. Jackson made the columns of his prosfIiuted organ the Globe" the mc- dium of Illuminating his vile caIumnies against me, |

 10 remain silent; but since he has dsrobed himself of this cunning, and fOrgeliu of the high station which unlappily for the country he occupies, has made ha- self the founder of personal islanders myself and ia. mi'y on his own responsibility" shall treat him as becomes man whose sensbility has been thus wan-
 only assailed. 1.-the assertion tahe by Mr. Jarkson was as true as it is rdic"ousIy false, that induced my wife to marry me iy promise of twenty thousand dollars as her dover, have least the consoIa m know that did nol seafhey from e ia.pfa oacner! -perhaps Mr. Jackson may understand the aIlusion. As'o the dover of which he speaks, think it wouM be more difficult for him io purchase ii, at five times
 the sum he has masi sined, ol Ihe lady who has attracts ed his sympathy, than he has found speculate on
 the choice cotton lands of the Mississippi at the mini- 1 mum price D! the Government. Bat his cup of mali- ci"us viinreration it would seem, coa.d not he filed
 by any thing short flhe foul caIun,ny that was pay-
 ing oil hs dover by st, ipes daily inflicted on the wife l whom lad thus purchased. This infamous libel on me, as private gentleman, calls for a reIy which cannot be made in this communication. Mr. Jackson l R4 l President of the United States, but plain Andrew Jackson-rObes off, and hands unfeitesed. He is welt aware o the real responsibility which he incurred. and must meet it, unless he recreant in chiva,v as he is in vesaciy.

 IL is lameniase spectacle and one sufficiently k"- initiating to Americana. when the President of the U. States and Senator from sovereig0 State become parties to such n controversy.
