Yours, respectfully,


We give this letter at length, because it is
defence of Gen. jackson by one of his friends,
and identifies Mr.. Van Buren, with the intrigue.
This letter was published in September, 1882.
and its truth has not been denied by Mr. Balch.
1t proves that Mr.. Van Buren's purpose was, to
produce rupture between Gen. jackson and
Mr.. Calhoun; and it may be that he hoped to
accomplish it by bringing Mr.. Calhoun and Mr..
Clinton in collision; although we know that in
stead of Mr. Clinton, the intrigue, on the part of
Mr.. Van Buren's friends, was to substitute Mr..
Van Buren's name instead of Mr.. Calhour's. on
the electoral ticket with Gen. Jackson That in
trigue having failed, Mr.. Van Buren, came into
the support of the ticket. General jackson and
Mr.. Calhoun Were elected. Mr.. Van Buren, was
appointed Secretary of State and before the
Presidents Inauguration, it was arranged in
caucus of his partizans, that he was to succeed
Gen. Jackson at the end of the first term; and.
under the apprehension that would not lend
the influence of my press to sustain him, Mr.
Kendall, who had come on to Washington for
the purpose Of being an assistant editor in nv
office, with salary of $500 per annum, was
appointed Fouth Auditor; that, to use Mr. Ken
dall's own remark upon another occasion, he
might be upon the spot to establish another press
to sshold me in check He did attempt during
the summer to establish another press, which
was only abandoned upon being told that should
open the war upon him upon the appearance of
the first number. ~ s8,g
! 1t was true that General jackson had been in
duced to take very active part IN the attempt
to force Mrs. Eaton upon society. His feelings
had been, by artful and repeated insinuation,
much alienated from Mr.. Calhoun. But he was
mot yet prepared to break with me nor with Mr..
Calhoun; because Mr.. Van Buren, had not vet
taught him to believe that MIR. Calhoun was to
stand in the way Of General Jackson's re-elec-
ton. Those who know General jackson well,
know that he never can be induced to quarrel
with any one, SO long as he expects to profit by
their friendship Thus, In 1928, when he was
told that Mr. Calhoun (shom he always con-
sidered his friend) and not Mr.. Crawford, had
been his enemy; when Mr.. Crawford's letter b
MIR. Balch, and, as every man must believe, Mr..
Forsytb's letter to MIR. Hamilton, charging that

IN consequence of Gen Jackson's proceedings in
Florida during the Seminole war, Mr. Calhoun
the Secretary of the War Department submitted
to and urged upon the President the proprietv and
NECESSITY Of arresting and trying Gen jackson.
NIL Monroe was very much annoyed by it; ex-
pressed a oeilef that such step would not meet
the public APPRECIATION; that Gen jackson had
performed too much public service to be treated
as younger OF. subaltern officer might. without
shocking public opinion Mr.. Adams spoke with
great violence against the proposed arrest. and
JusSihed the General throughout, vehemently
urging the President to make the cause of The
General that of the administration. m
In consequence of the strong exc;tene,, ,,,r,,-
duced by the Presidents obvious embarrassn,rfnt
Mr. Crawford interpreted in the discussion and
suggest that there was no necessity for deciding
upon the course To be pursued towards the Gene
rai, as the question for which the cabinet was
convened did not require it; they were called to
aetermine how Spain was to be treated in rela-

Now l beg the reader, in perusing these let
tiers, to bear in mind, that Mr.. Hamilton saws
that MIR. Calhoun, in conversation with him had
declared that such measure. as the ar,est &c
General Jackson was not thought of, much less
discussed, in the Cabinet, and that MIR. Hamilton
had in his possession Mr.. Forsytl's letter Of tbe
9Th of February, charging that Mr. Calhoun had
submitted and urged upon the President mr..
Monroe) the propriety, and necessity Of arrest
ing and trying General Jackson That he al
mits that became from New Orleans by Georgia
Eat the request of Major Lewis to see and GAS
certain from Mr.. Crawford what had occurred in
Mr. Monroe's cabinet deliberation, in relation to
q proposition supposed to have been made to ar
rest General jackson for his conduct in the war.
and to inform him major Lewis Of the result, p
and no one can doubt that Mr. Forsyth's let.
tiers of the 9Th Of February, making the charge
against MIR. Calhoun, as well as Mr. Calhoun's
denial, had been communicated by Mr.. Hamilton
to Major Lewis. Indeed, his letters Of the 10Th
q March, quoted above, admits the full commu-
niea1lon with Mr.. Lewis. Why then should Mr..
Hamilton refuse to communicate to Mr.. Calhoun
q copy Of Mr. Forsyth's letter, containing a
charge SO deeply affecting his character, il it had
BEEN, as as he supposed, true? In the sequel, il

MIR. BEAR-the Ohio Blacksmith, address
ed meeting at Ellicett's Mills. We regret to
be compelled to say, that there were several per-
sons who were designated as office-holders under
the state and federal government, who behaved
in a most disorderly manner. One of them, in
the service of the federal government, made him
self conspicuous by parading on the outskirts of
the crowd with knife in his hand, using insult
ing language, and disturbing the meeting while
MIR. Bear was speaking. Another, attached to
the Penitentiary, was pointed out to us. 1t is
such conduct as this that should be noted and re-
ported to the proper department at Washington,
and we call upon the Wings every where, to no
tifying such men the ground and at the time,
that they will be reported, and that If Mr. Van
Buren, does not remove them from Office, General
Harrison will. Put the proof on record-furnish
the department at Washington with the proof,
and hold MIR. Van Buren, responsible for the con-
duct Of his mercenary f'hirelings. I've quote

wrote to MIR. Hamilton the following letter:
Mr.. Calhoun TO mr.. Hamilton
WAsHINGToN, 18th March, 1923.
Dear Sir:-Oh reflection, it has appeared to
me desirable, on several acceunts that, if an at
| tack on Gen. Jackson is meditated in the manner
supposed, I should be put in possession of the
facts from which it is inferred. My knowledge
of the facts, might enable me to ascertain, from
what quarter the blow might be expected, and to
take measures to parry it.
| If you should concur in this view, and should
feel yourself at liberty to make communication
of what you know, it might prove ultimately
ser siceabie to the cause. Whatever YOU NAV
communicate, will be received in strict conf
dence. With great respect, &c. SC. &c.

To the editors of'the Globe and Richmond En-

Having noticed my name in the Globe and
Richmond enquirer, giving description by some
letter-writters, charging me being the author
and getter up of the odious hard cider negro pro-
cession of GEORGETOWN, ID. c., and hiring the
black marshal to insult the administration party
only have to say, as far as the publication re-
Iates 10 me, pronounce the author foul sland-
erer and liar, gotten up for political effect. l
am Virginian, and the holder of slaves, and
never could advocate principle teaching insub-
ordination to that class of our population. On
the day of the procession, which is an annual
custom of the cartmen, few moments before
they formed, l was passing by the door OF MIR
J. n. Pearson, one of the administration party,
IA real locofoeo, not hard ciderite0 he banter
ed me to furnish barrel of hard cider, and he
would furnish half-barrel Of old Monongahela
HhislSey. l told him it was bargain-to roll
it out; he said it should be DONE furnished
the cider accordingly, but the half-barrel OF old
rye was not forthcoming, but, to my astonlsh-
ment in lieu thereof the gentleman IN
few moments thereafter, produced large flag
with Martin Van Buren, on one side, and Martin
Van Buren,, 1871 on the other, which he gave
to his cartman, which gave to the procession the
political complexion, and insulted the high-nind-
ed gentry of the Hickory Club, whose nerves
are more easily affected than their regard for
truth about negro procession: o,.
