Crawford, Esq. which was placed in my hands on yesterday. The submission, you will perceive is authorized by the writer. The statements and facts it presents being so different from what I had heretofore understood to be correct, requires that it should be brought to your consideration. They are different from your letter to Governor Bibb, of Alabauia, of the 1.1th May, IS 13, where you state, "General Jackon is vested with full power to condurt the war iu the manner he may judge best," and different, too, from your letttors to nie at that limp, which breathe throughout a spirit of approbation and friendship, and particularly the one in which vou sav, " I have the honor to ac-

My object in making thi communication is to announce to you the great urprie which is felt, and to learn ofyou whether il be possible that the information given is correct; whether it can be, under all the circumstancesof which you and I aro both informed, that any attempt seriously to affect me was moved and sustained by you fin the Cabinet Council, when, as is known to you, I was but executing the vishes of the Government ; And clothed with the authority "to conduct the war in the manner I might juds;e best."

This, however, was t iid with a view of driving Mr. Monroe to an unlimited support of what General Jackson had done, and not with an un friendly view to the General.

J.C. CALHOUN. To the Fr.rsiDENT of the Cnited States. Tiie General Post Office. Early in the Session of Congress, a resolution was introduced into the Senate of the U. States, for enquiry into the ailed ged frauds and abuses, in the General Tost Office. The proposition came of course from a Senator in the opposition (Mr. Clayton.) and it so happened that when introduced, there was a majority of opposition Senators present. A struggle immediately ensued, whether the resolution should be referred to the StandSenators, or to a Select Committee, which according to a parliamentary i courtesy would be constituted of a ma jority friendly to the object proposed. I ho Administration Senators were defeated in their attempt to send the resolution to the Tost Office Committee, (in other words, to send it where it would be smothered,) but Mr. Calhoun, in arranging the Committee, put on it two Opposition and two Administration Senators, and a fifth, Mr. Hendricks, who had been traitor to both parties; but who having been last a traitor to the opposition, would for that reason, endeavor to make the traitor as acceptable to his new allies, as the treason had proved. We said at the time, that the exceeding anxiety to refer th resolution to the l?t Office Committee was from the desire felt to strangle it in the cradle, and foretold, that the Vice Preisent had quite as eile tually produced this re-ult, by placing the friends of the resolution iu a minority on the Committee: for what we conjectured of Mr. Hendricks, has been exactly fulfilled. And so it lias proved throughout. Tu spin out the time of the session, until none is left to accomplish so serious an investigation, and to exclude the principal witness to prove the existence of abuses, Mr. Grundy brought forward a resolution instructing the Committee not to receive the testimony of those pcrsors who had been dimissed from the service of the I'ost OrhVe. A more highhanded and audacious proposition, was never introduced before an American Assembly. This resolution is still under debate. How it will be decided we can hardly doubt, believing as wej do. that the Senate of the l States can no longer, as in IiS'J.3, be made to marklime at the command of a Jackson drillsergeant.

FROM THE NAT. 1.XTELL1UEXCKR, FEB. 10. The Bill for promoting the culture of Silk, will be considered in the lloue of Representatives to-day. Convinced that incalculable interests of this Union, arc involved in its success, we ber to be excused for recurring tet the subject. The plan of establishing Jiulura; which the bill! proposes, would enable the l'nited States to make ruv:. Silk an exportable commodity. The capacity of the country lor the production of Silk is unlimited; but without the art ot reeling, (an art, the dillicully and ingenuity requisite for which, can he appreciated only by those somewhat acquainted with the subject, it never ran become a stank- of commerce. 1 he culture ol Silk must have a beginning. Cocoons will not be spun, unless they can be sol J: aad they will not find a market if liilalures lie not established. To provide those, is the object of the bill. Silk fabrics are annually imported into the United States, to the value of N.000,000 of dollars. I nder a judicious system, wc might pay for Ihi luxurv with the raw material. Whihj our export of breael-snlls,ainuii!.- only fei .V ."".- (K)0,00l), for want of iiiarkels, this country could furnish, in immense quantities, the article of Raw Silk, hich is in universal and unlimited demand. The manufacturing States of Europe, purchase annually, to tho value of .s 100. 000.000. Urai ice sells .r00.000.000 francs worth of silk stutR In the cultivation ofvulton, we have increasing competition. Its production is already equal to the demand, and prices are proportionally atfected. Silk oilers an inexhaustible source of riches, if properly developed. This development, it is believed, would receive a permanent impulse, from the present bill. Since the above nar.HMaobs; wen-
