aJAcKsoN's STATEMENT. /
HERMITAGE, Feb. %, 1916.
Your observations with regard to, Mr;a
Buchanan are correct. HE SHOWED
A WANT OF MORAL COURAGE IN
THE AFFAIR oFeTHE INTRIGUEs
BETWEEN ADAMS AND CLAY, did
not do me justice in the exposure he then
made and I AN SURE, ABOUT THAT
TIME DID BELIEVETHEREWAsl lA
PERFECT UNDERSTANDING BE-
TWEEN ADAMS, AND CLAY about
the Presidency and Secretary of State.-T
THIS I Am SURE OF. But whether
he viewed that there was any corrup-
ton in the case or not, I know not: but
one thing do know, THAT HE. WISH
ED ME TO COMBAT THEM. IWIIIl
THEIR OWN WEAPONS THAT
WAS TO LET MY, ,FRIENDsrsAY, IF
l WAS ELECTED, I WOULD MAKE
MR.. CLAY SECRETARY OF STATE.
| THIS TO NE APPEARED TO BE
GROSS CORRUPTION, AND I RE.
PEELED IT WITH THAT HONEST
INDIGNATION AS I THOUGHT IT
DESERVED. Az .44gx. v,..F .s,.,s,

There is no getting over this testimony
at least no honest way; and SO, as the
| 1only means Of escape left them the Bu-
chaniers ponnce down upon Gen. jack
son, and abuse him as all that was vile
and corrupt. Hear for instance, the
Louisville Coarier, from which we take
the following quotations, which we de-
sire the old Jackson Democrats to remem4
Der are from the leading editorial Of atpa-
per that goes heartily for Buchanan. :, :
jackson, himself. even after the igno-s,
minious failure of his first tool, ,Kremer;
to establish the charge, though that tool
had valliantly pledged himself to cory
aloud and spare not''-Jackson, himself
still cldadestiaely eiaeu1otedthe bargain eaiil
unny and still Hoped to find another tool to
establish 1T.
I And SO if Jackson is referring to Blu
chanan thought that gentleman would
prove a less bungling tool than Tremer,
he very soon found himself most awfully
mistaken /; and we have no doubt it was
the lofty response he. got from Buchanan
and Of the singing remark Of Buchanan
that he was incapable of PROPOSING as
Jackson was of ACCEPTING a,corrupt prop7
osition, that made that suspicious. nahgs

words about the the prominent Ptesiddeen-

Mr.. Buchanan and believe hin to beAa
virtuous and patriotic man, Of fair ABILITIES
and great experience. In his early youth
he welded the Commonwealth, and has
been all his life In the public serglce,z7T
But he is no leader-he Is always ssubor-
ldinate and subject to others. He HYs.I!fif nsiyef
