u Some months ago, story was put in
circulation that Gen. Jackson, in letter to
Mr.. Hamilton, Of S. C. had charged Mr.. Clay
with bargaining with Mr.. Adams for the Office
Of Secretary, whereupon the whig papers
-a.n.iagly called for the publication Of the
letter. Gen. Jackson learning II, caused tho
following note to be published:
A CARD.
To the Editors Of the Nashville Union:
GENTLEMEN-My attention has been
called to various newspaper articles refer
ring 10 a letter said 10 have been written
BY me to Gen. Hamilton, recanting the
the charge of bargain made against Mr..
CLAW when he voted for Mr.. Adams in
1925.
To put an end to all such rumors, /
feel ii 10 be due to myself to state that
have no recollection of ever having writ
ten such letter, and do not believe there
is letter from me to Gen. Hamilton, or
any one else. that will bear such con-
struction. Of the charges brought a.
gainst both M. Adams and MIR. Clay at
that time, l formed my opinions as the
country at large did-from facts and cir
cumstances that were indisputable and
conclusive and, may add, that this o.
pinion has undergone no change.
lfGen. Hamilton, or any one else, has
letter from me on this subject. which
the friends Of Mr.. Clay desire to be made
public, all they have to do is to apply TO
him for it. As for myself, nave no Sc
crets. and DO not fear the publication of all
tina, have ever written on this or any
other subject.
ANDREW JACKSON.
Hermitage, May 3, 1914.
To which Mr.. Hamilton gave the following
answer:
A CARD.
To Gen. .Andre,U Jackson:
| SIR-I have just this instant seen your
card. dated the Sd May, from the Her
| milage. IN
The call you make upon myself does
not permit me TO be silent. Yon are en-
| tirely correct in your statement. You
never wrote letter to me or even ver-
bally, in my hearing, made any statement,
in either the one or the other, of your
conviction Of the injustice of the charge
of bargain and corruption preferred a.
gainst Messrs. Adams and Clay. Nor
have ever stated TO any human being
tina. you had ever entertained such an o.
pinion.
presume that the mistake has grown
ont of the fact that at a time when went
through stitch for you and your prefer
ment. said without reserve 10 our friends
that did not think we could make much
gain aid Corruption, Because e 1 d did p noi
believe in its justice, and that we had
hundred better cows TO milk in our pen
than this accusation, hence we had as well
have done with it. But this was MY o.
pinion, pronounced ON no authority of
YOURS.
| can scarcely. however, quarrel with
the occasion which breaks the silence
which has so long closed our intercourse.
After painful separation of more than
ten years, | thank God. before we die,
that we are both again on the same side
of great American question. which is to
give empire to our confederacy and
Gibraltar TO the south.
Accept the assurances of the veneration
and respect with which
am your
Fellow Citizen.

cannot justify an act which sets aside for dollars

exercised, and expenses paid by the U. States, as

not content with thus triaing, they again met, and
'egisIated Legislature out of existence, or in effect
saying to Congress, !" Having made the laws of the

done, provided you consent to let us spend the same

Extract from letter to the Editor dated


SALISBURY, Oct. %, 1914.
"The Wing leaders here, alarmed at the apathy
pervading the ranks Of the Coons, doing all
they can animate them and to break the force of
the election returns from Georgia and Peunsylva-
MIA. They are also circulating slanders against
Col. Polk and the denocrats-one of which is,
that if Col. Polk is elected the militia 10iH be
called out to active service But all this will fail

and ready for the election-day We shall send
you good tidings from old Rowan"
More of the Secret Circular, threatening s0ar
and "reuolutiom" This, then, as we said last
week, is to be the batle-cry of the Coons on the
day of the election. In some states-perhaps in
certain sections of this-the bran-bread is to be
broken and exhibited-in other States the Roor-
back lie will be circulated, whilst here in North
Carolina, the people are to be menaced with ire

hear from various sections of the effects produced
by this Secret Circular. Democrats, be on your
guard! Watch these Coons, and denounce them

For Salt River.

The substantial packet Schooner Seavcngrr, will
sail By order of the people of the United States.
for the head waters of Salt River, during the
month of November. She carries out as pas
senger the Hon. HENRY CLAY who, after
having sought Office at the hands of the said peo-
pie for more than twenty years, has at length re-
ceived the appointment OF Collector of Customs
at the head waters of said riIer---zt which point
it is expected he will prove in his acioI capacity
that high tariffs make cheap goods. He will
carry out strong corps of Surveyors, tide-waiters
bum -baiif1s, &c. and as the country Is new and
unsettled, it is thought these officers will find con-
slant employment. The following appointments
have already been made: Sarveyors-Millanrd
Fillmore, of New York, Gen. Markle, of Penn
syvania, Berrien, Of Georgia, and Morehead, Of
North Carolina. TideaoGiters-Stanly, Cherry,
and Palmer, of North Carolina, and Pleasants,
of Virginia Bun-beat Womem-Messrs Man
gum and Badger of North Carolina. These last
appointments are considered peculiarly appropri-
ute. Mr.. Mangum, it is thought, will sing three
times day, at least, song Of thankfulness for
having been delivered from Mr. Edmunds, of
Virginia, while Mr.. B. will serve as beacon, by
standing at the mouth of Old Sak every night
with mammoth cigar in,his mouth. The Col
lector, it is presumed, will permit aim to while
away the long hours of the night by uttering
threats Of revolution TO intimidate the bats and
owls.
From the extraordinary abilities displayed by
the Collector as a Letter-writer, the public may
expect many curious and interesting accounts from
the head waters of Salt River It is hoped he
will be able TO give a satisfactory reason for the
strange and inexplicabIe fact that although many
go up Old Salt, none were ever known to come
dOrun it.
IS. The Little Blo,oer goes out as TTum-
peter to the whole crowd. He will charge each
member of the company only shilling fot the
privilege of sailing in the same boat with him
self, and as the collector has proclaimed the right
to play cards royal one, and therefore exclu-
sively his own, the Blower wiU HOt it is thought
be permitted 10 render himself more notorious
than he already is in the line of safe" card
playing. Success to the EXPEDITION.

VIII he Peopie- hnue q KING?

A Caswell correspondent has called our atten-
tion to the following remarks made by Whmeii
P. Tunstall, "a leading Coon) at Barbecue Civ
en- not long since near Milten. Mr.. FunstaIl
said:
"Now, gentlemen, am about to make Bold
assertion. Ii is an me, and must come out. wish
the Constitution of the United States was altered,
and the word President wherever il oec in that
instrument, stricken out, and the word King in
serted In Its place" {" --~-.~-. .H
And so anxious, we are informed, was MIR. Tun-
stall to be understood this point, that he then in
slow and very distinct voice spelled the two
wo.ds and said he preferred KING to P-s-es-i-
dent in the Constitution. The Milton Chroni-
Gle, a Coon newspaper. had notice of this same
speech: and after suppressing the preceding por-
tion of it, clarified Mr.. Tunstall in the following
style: -. 3
"Whigs of the Old North State! Remember
the name of Whitmell P. Tunstalt! Cherish il
with fondness and lively enthusiasm in your me
mory Join US in returning him thanks for his no.
bic defence of Whig principles on Thursday last,
name ice thank him ! We thanx heaven that the
soil of Virginia-the land of Washington, of Madi-
son, of Jefferson, and of Henry, gave birth to such
a man" a.F.-'sa .s i -
That will do, Mr. Evans. You have made out
your case. You have let out the real sentiments
and wishes of the Coon leaders, and in doing so
have branded yourself and Mr.. Tunstall as "bright
particular" King-Ioving Tories That will do,
we say again. You can now stand aside and
wait till Col. Polk goes into power, and places
his foot upon such as desire King, or threaten
