Ten jackson has found il necessary in order
20 counteract The powerful impression made
oy Judge Whites testimony before the Sc
iect Committee Of tho House of Representa-,
lives TO investigate the Executive Depart.
ments. to come out in a card over his own
signature in the Nashville Union. That
card we publish, that our readers may see
what The old man has TO say for himself The
point at issue between Judge White nnd the
tx PRESIDENT is this Judge White stated
before the COMMITTEE, that he had received
proposition from Gen. Jackson, through Or
Vile bradley, Esq. to permit his name TO be
run Tor Vice Presidency, upon the tickle.
win MIR. Van Buren, for the Presidency.
Zen. jackson denies having made the COM
munication but. no man, we presume, will
pretend TO say that Judge While has fabrica-
ted The charge. The communication WAS
undoubtedly made 10 the Judge, and, IL n,ov
De, without any agency Of Gen. Jackson.
But, at any rate. issue being joined between
Inc parties, We may expect some dew lop-
meht shortly IN relation TO the matter:
TOTHE PUBLIC.
My attention having been drawn Nv
ir'ena 10 certain comments, in the Nashville
Republican and IN the WING and Banner,

Deg leave TO state TO the public, that in due
time, when / receive the Journal of these
proceedings, and as soon as the state of nv
health permits, j shall expose The Injustice
done 70 me by Judge White, and those he
has used to excuse his attempt 10 connect INV
name with dishonorable overtures, in the 10.
ii'icai contest which has resulted in the cleo.
lion OF MIR. Van Buren TO the Presidency.

him To take seat in my Carriage. He ace
copied the invitation about sevea miles from
his fathers, and rode with US, my hoy riding

statement made by me, coming from that
good old siaunch Republican, Governor

Convention then sitting at Nashville, at

Republican party might make at The Con-

views Of the Wings and NulIifiers No

closed or conveyed any other sentiment than
| that OF concurrence in the wisdom of the
counsel which Gov. Blouni had given.
As SHALL h ny ever, neiic. this co, versa
tim more particularly hereafter j, is on ~ ne
cessary for me to aid here, that the statement
made by Mr.. Bradley, as appended to Tie
testimony OF Judge White, before the Com
mitlee, OF a proposition Of mine, to run Air,
Van Buren, for the Presidency and judge
White for the Vice Presidency, is ufterIv
.fIise. No such proposition was ever made
by me to him, or 10 any one else nor was
there any pretext furnished in any part of
that conversation, for the tissue Of rnsrep-
resenialion and false coloring which charsc-
ierises the whole of MIR. BradIey's narrative
on this subject.
