friends" to tttc exclusion therefore of rnyself, bat he nevertheless inferred t hrtt he had come from me. Now why did he 'draw this inference contrary to the import of the statement which he received? Does not this disposition to deduce conclusions unfavorable to me

manifest the Spirit which actuates him?

And does not General Jackson exhibit ' throughout his letter a desire to give a coloring to the statements of his friend, ths distinguished member of congress, higher than they would justify ? No one should ever resort to implication but from necessity. Why did he not ascertain from the envoy if he had come from me? Was any thing more natural than that Gen. Jackson should ascertain the persons who had deputed the envoy? If .his shocked sensibility and indignant virtue and patriotism would not allow him to enquire into particular?, ought he to have hazirded the assertion, that I was

privy to the proposal, without assuring himself of the fact? Could he not after rejecting the proposal, continuing as he did on friendly terms with the organ of it, have sati-iied himself if I were conusant of it 1 If he had not time then, might he not have ascertained the fact from his friend or from me during the interven

ing two and a half years? The compunctions of his own conscience, for a moment, appear to have visited him towards the conclusion of his letter, for he there does say, "that in the supposition stated, I may have done injustice to Mr.

Clay; if s.0 the gentleman informing can explain." No good or honorable man will do another voluntarily any injustice. It was not necessary that Grm. Jackson slijBuld have done me any. Aad he canhot acquit himself of the rashness and iniquity of his conduct towards me by referring, at this late day, to a person, whose name is withheld from the public. This compendious mode of administering justice, by first hanging and then trying-a man, hovvever justifiable it may be, according to the precepts of the Jackson code, is sanctioned by no respectable system of jurisprudence. If is at .fed in the letter of the 6ih of

last month, I have understood that Gen.

Jackson has made a similar communication to several other persons, at ditferent and distant points. Why has the overture been thus clandestinely circulated? Was it that through the medium of the Telegraph, the leading paper supporting the interest of Gen. Jackson, & through his other depositories, the belief of the charge should be daily and gradually infused into the public mine, and thus

contribute to the support ofhis cause?

information which, if true, must have occasioned the rejection of my nomination. It does not appear that any other senator possessed the same information. Investigation was alike due to the purity of the national councils, to me, and as an act of strict justice, to all the other parties implicated. It is impossible for him to escape from the dilemma that he has been faithless, as a senator of the United States, or has lent himself to the circulation of an atrocious calumnv. After the election Gen. Jackson was among the first who eagerly pressed his congratulations upon his successful rival.

But I do not rely exclusively on this recognized distinction. 1 dispute at once the right of the legislature to issue a mandatory instruction to the Representatives of the people. Such a right has no foundation in the Constitution, in the

reason or nature of thing, nor in the usage of the Kentucky Legislature. Its exercise would be a manifest usurpation. The General Assembly has the incontrovertible right to express its opinion and to proclaim its wishes on any political

subject whatever; and to such an expression great deference and respect are due; but it 13 not obligatory. The people, when in August, 1824, they elected members to the General Assembly did not invest them with any power to regulate or control the exercise of the discre

It is true, as I have ascertained since the publication of Mr. Bverly Fay teville letter, the Gen.

has been for a ' ng time secretly circulating the charge. Immediately on the appearance at Washington of that letter in the public prints, the Editor of the T.'h'gj ,pn averted, in his paper, that Gen.
