POLITICAL. lISTOR

In the debate The U. S Senate upon Nj. Foote'S
Compromise resolution, Mr.. Rhett OF South Carroll
ia, discussing Gen. Jacksons opinions. repeated the
statement often made heretofore in the public prints
that the celebrated proclamation OF 1882 33,
written by Gen. jackson, but by Mr. Livingston, Sec
rotary OF State.
Mr.. Donelson. the present editor of the Washington
Union, at the time the private secretary of Gen
jackson. He has published clrcumsantial reply to
Mr.. Rhets speech, and denies, in the most unqua-
fed terms, that any other than Gen. Jackson himself
was the author of that document.
1t is true, he says that it was issued, in the regular
course of papers, from the Office of the Secreta
~ of State and that the Secretary chiefly con
suited in its preparation. But it is utterly that
Mr. Livingston did anything more than give form to
sentiments carefully drawn up by the Presidents
hand, or that of his private secretary. 1t was laid
before the Cabinet; and underwent revision and
sultaon there before it published. Gen Glass;
now the u S. Senate, was then Secretary of War,
and his testimony is appealed TO to establish the
fu attention which was given to every word OF the
paper, whilst it in state of prepa ration At the
last meeting of the Cabinet on the subject sever raj
passages were materially altered. Mr. DoneIson cites
one ragraph especially in the proclamation sub
stituted in place OF another in the original motion
of Mr.. Woodbury., who has always been held one
of the strictest constructionsts in the Northern
States Yet that is of the paragraphs often quoted
as consolidating in its tendency.
The disclosures of Mr. Donelson show that the pro-
clametion, instead OF being the act of the President
alone using paper prepared for him by the Secreta-
~ of State, much Cabinet paper any Ex-
ecutive message usually is, and as much act of
the President any Cabinet document ever is.
