Editor. thank you. You will remem.
Der that, before your Inauguration, told
you that there was party organized for
the purpose OF using the patronage of the
Government in support OF Mr.. Van Buren,
as your successor--that they had then
made arrangements TO build Up press On
the patronage of the departments, under his
influence and that foreseelng the collisions
which were to grow up into power, was
DESTROYS of returning TO my PROFESSIONALISM
was then Printer Of both Houses Of Con.
gress-that had an extensive subscription,
and large balances due TO me IN the coun-
try-yet, as | was unwilling TO encounter
the difficulties foresaw must arise IN col
lision between your political friends, wish
ed you to select an Editor to whom | would
transfer my whole interest upon his assum-
ing my liabilities and repaying me my ad-
vances-that | asked and would accept Of
no office, my wish was to retire 10 my pro-
fession--that you assured me that my fears
were unfounded-that you bad pledged
Yourself, and notified all the members of
the your Cabinet, that neither of them
should be candidate for Office, and that
neither of them should use the patronage of
his department for electioneering purposes
that had fought my position, and was
entitled to the beneflts-that you preie rred
my retaining the press, and much insisted
on my doing SO. That in reply, | told you
that upon much reflection, that | did not
believe that was qualified TO be an Execu-
tive organ-that | could not defend inca.
sures which | did not understand and ap-
prove-that you replied, that fer that very
reason, YOU preferred | should remain; that
you would not require of me to support any
measure which my judgment did not APP
prove and that should be at perfect lib
erty to commend or censure, as in my opin-
ion public duty required. Now, sir, the
time has come when | must tell you that |
cannot unite IN war upen the Senate, and
feel bound to say that your ear is abused
by flatterers who are driving from you your
best friends. You know, sir, that your
confidence in me is shaken-ihat you no
longer communicate with me as you once
4 did-and how can you expect me or your
+ friends IN Congre 10 thrust ourselves for
ward, or to assume the responsibility of
your measures, when we see that your pri.
vate and confidential advisers are laborng
to msrepresenl all our motives and actions
The President, (rising and taking the
Editor BY the hsnd.) MIR. Green, do you
recoIlect the last word said to you at the
Hermitage "The truth is mighty, and
will prevail" | believe you are an honest
man. know you are my friend. Come
and see me often. | wish to consult with
you. Bring your wife and children TO see
me, and whenever | can serve you, let me
know it. | am engaged this morning. l
would be glad TO see you often. Come and
see me.
Now a word to the reader. He will see
that Gen. jackson used precisely the same
language to the Editor relative to Congress
that had been used by Mr.. Van Buren, to
Judge Rowan" Let Congress adjourn
and 60 home to the people, and they will
teach them their duly to the Executive
showing common purpose, aud previous
concert. Mr.. Van Buren's significant look
at the Editor was understood by the latter
TO say, 1.-The time has come, sir, when you
mus, choose between the Executive and the
Senate. If you unite with US in our war
upon the Senate, then you will suit my pur.
poses well, or better than any others; but
if YOU do not then we will soen get the Ed.
tor who will" So much for Mr.. Van Buren,.
As to Gen. jackson, ander the mask Of
candor and trankness he conceals the most
consummate hypocricy. He worked by in
timidation and seduction. His purpose TO
the interview Of which We have spoken was
TO use the press in humbling the Senate
He acted his par. well-he always does
bu, he was compelled To find other ins,ru.
ments to accomplish his object. When he
found tina, he could not intimdate, he tried
the other tact; but he had made up his
mind, and took good care that he was not
deceived in his next selection.
Going TO the Post Otfce.-25 cents.
" Can't take bills, sir; nothing but specie"
But havn't got it, and don't knew where
to get il; what shall | do? "Why, sir,
you may deposite FIRE dollars bill, and we
will give you credit for it, until it russ out.
Well, will leave this three dollar bill IN.
til get the change. Cant take il, sir
the Government does not allow US to receive
bills under five dollars" So you must eth.
er get specie where it is to be had depos,
lite five dollars to pay 25 cents or go with,
out your letters and papers. Heigho
