One of the first steps, upon Mr.. Van Buren's
coming to Washington, was, to extend this or
oan;zatien to the several States, and many APP
continents were made to important public Of
fees at Washington, with a view to building up
, central power at Washington, through which
each State might be organized in like manner,
and through whom the plans and wishes Of the
central iunto could be carried into effect. Mr.
Kendall became very active as a correspondent
for the principal papers selected as the organs OF
Mr. Van Buren's party. Failing in his attempt
to use the Telegraph, it became necessary for
Mr.. Kendall to do, by private correspondence,
what would have been done, with more effect,
perhaps through a central organ. But, the New
Hamp. hire Patriot, the Ohio Monitor, at Column
bus ,Ithe Kentucky Argus, and the Richmond En-
quirer, were willing instruments in carrying out
Mr.. Van Buren's purposes. Knowing that these
papers received their que from MIR. Kendall,
whenever saw them leading of in the same Iii
rection, as if by common impulse, was at no
loss to ascertain the prompter
As before said, instead of fixing the charge
of duphcity upon Mr.. Calhoun, the correspond
ence convicted General jackson, of both dupli-
city and falsehood. Under this aspect of the
case, many of General Jackson's friends were
very much opposed to its publication. They saw
that it would seriously affect his reputation, and
great efforts were made to suppress it, and, ii
possible, reconcile the parties.
Among these whe dissuaded Mr.. Calhoun from
publishing the correspondence, were Mr.. fancy,
the present Chief Justice of the United States,
and Governor Poindexter But some of MIR.
Van Buren's friends had obtained a copy of part,
at least, of the correspondence, together with Il
letter from Mr.. Crawford, which was extensive
" circulated; and, to correct the insidious mis-
representations which were deeply affecting his
character, Mr.. Calhoun believed it necessa-
ry to make publication. Although | well
knew that General jackson had established the
Globe under the expectation that would be de-
TERED, by the apprehension that might lose the
patronage of the government, if l took part
against him; and although I well knew that l
should incur his lasting displeasure by doing so,
L did not hesitate to give Mr.. Calhoun the use Of
my paper. More; when assailed by the Globe,
1 not only defended Mr. Calhoun against the at
tacks prompted by Gen. jackson, but ''carried
the war into Africa" and exposed the intrigues
and the agency of Mr.. Van Buren, in getting up
the conspiracy.
That the reader may understand the issue
which it was the object ef Mr.. Van Buren, to
present, we make the following extract from the
Albany August
From. the .4I5a,lY .4,gus of March 4th, 1881.
