The /" Bargsin and Corruption " story
Again.

The fearless and true Gen. Jackson, 30 astute as
TO be rarely deceived or TO misunderstood, has
published to the world that Mr.. Buchanan was bis
authority for the charge Of bargain intrigue and
corruption against Mr.. Clay Mr.. Buchanan in
his published letters to support the grounds of
Gen. Jackson, and TO vindicate himself has admit
ted that he Was the author of the foul calumny /:
but that he merely meant TO volunteer the bring.
Ing about Of a "bargAin" between Gen. Jackson
and Mr. Clay, as the friend Of both. Mr. Clay has
published the way the offer of bargain was pro-
posed to him, by Mr.. Buchanan, and repeIed in
the presence OF Gov. Letcher. Mr. Cotton has
published, In the private correspondence OF Henry
Clay, the letter Of Gov. Letcher, in which Mr.. Bu-
chanan urges upon him the obligation Of secrecy
In respect to the bargain submitted to Mr. Clay
and the way 1t had been rejected by him. Gov
Letcher is now residing in Kentucky, and can an
swer for himself n1 .es
Tenderness and forbearance for the reputation of
one who had professed himself to be his ''ardent
friend and admirer," had induced Mr.. Clay to bear
the weight of bitter calumny for more than twenty
years, magnanimously reffaining from the publica-
tion Of circumstances that could not fail to vind
cate himself at the cost Of the char acter for fair
ness, candor and honesty il not of truth, Of his
protesting friend, Mr.. Buchanan. !" Much Of that
ancient feeling of friendship" for Mr. Clay, Mr. Bu-
chanan wrote to Gov. Letcher, June, 1914, " still
remains" In the same letter, with the most adroit
Establishments he resorts to various reasons, be-
sides the appeal TO Gov. Letchers honor, to pre-
vent "the publication Of the private conversation"
between him and Messrs. Clay and Letcher, as ait
could serve no other purpose than to embarrass
me" (Mr. Buchanan) and force me prominently
into the pending contest, which desire to avoid"
The publication was not made. Mr.. Polk was
elected President. He reached the Presidency by
means Of Buchanan's influence in the tariff State
OF Pennsylvania Mr. Buchanan was q tariff man.
On his authority Mr. Polk was declared, in Penn
sylvania, to be "a better tariff man than Mr. Clay
For that misrepresentation Mr.. Clay never forgave
Mr. Buchanan. Every other enemy in the world
had been forgiven by Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Buchanan
came into Mr.. Polk's cabinet as Premier. The
tariff was repealed.
Farther comment is unnecessary.
