TERRE-HAUTE, VIGO COUNTY, INDIANA MARCH 1, 1828

1l. CI..1Y,

To the Public.

[Concluded.]

Mr Daniel Large testifies "that on my wav down the Ohio from Wheeling to Cincinnati, in the month of March, 1825, on board the steamboat General Neville, among many other passengers were Gen Jackson and a number of gerttlemen from Pennsylvania, some ot whom remarked to the General that they regretted tlut he had not been elected Presiidont instead ol Mr Adams Gcner nl Jackson replied, that it he would have made the same promises and 'offers to Mr. Clay, that Mr Adams had done- he (Gen Jackson) would then, in that case, have been in the

Presidential chair, but he would make no promises to any tnat ii he went to the Presidential chair, he would go with clean hands and uncontrolled by any one 'f

To this statement Mr VY i.rosdell, who was present, subjoins acer tificate that, "it is a faithful account of General Jackson's conversation on the occasion al uded to Both of these gentlemen I have been in

formed, are respectable Philadelphia

1 have understood that to the Andrew Wylie, Major Davis, and others in Washington, in Pennsy vania, on one occasion at a tavern in West Alexandria in the sune county, on another at Brownsville at Cm cinnati at Louisville, and at Bowling Green, in a tavern in Kentucky, Gen eral Jackson made similar assertions Should the additional

that if he had made similar proposals, he and not Mr. Adams, would have been elected president W itb what truththen can he assert, as he has done, that the "origin" of lus charge was two years afterwards at his own fireside? Or that he has not gone into the highways and market places" to prjelaim his opinions'*

Whilst he ha4- nrnde no protest against any benefit which might accrue to myself from the dissemination of such a charge against me, he is extremely desirous not to be con sidered my public accuser. He has not indeed appeared before a grand jury to support a bill of indictment against me Neither did he arraign me, when acting under the oath ot a senator of the United States, he P^" sedupon my nomination. But, if he can be regarded as a public accuser, who, on numerous occasions, to particular individuals, as well as before

arrive, it *hall be presented to the public Whether such was the design or not. Gen Jakson appears to have proclaimed his accusation, at such convenient and separate points as would insure its general circulation Wp have the testimom of Gen. Duff Green, (which is at least admissible on such an occasion, that he personally knew of General Jack son speaking to the same effect as early as March, 1825

Thus it appears that, in march. 825, at various places, in the pres enceol many persons,.General Jackson took upon himself to represent that Mr. Adams made o'Ters to me.

of people, in public as well

as private places, charges another with a political offence, Gen Jackson unites the double character ofmy public and private accuser. With him I have been reluctantly compelled to believe the accusation originated. Whether from an honest misconception of the purport ot Mr. Buchanan's interview with Inm, (which no one can doubt was the v0urce of the calumny) or from the design of promoting his own interests, the injury to roe has been the same. The public (as I certainly had) prior l„ the last summer, supposed that the charges had originated with Mr. Geo. Kremer's letter lo the Columbian Observer. But recent disc osures oi* General Jackson and his partisans, satisfactorily establish that, although the sternness ef Mr. liremcr's patriotism prompted him to "cry aloud and spare not, he mus be stripped of the borrowed merit of original invention, which impai tial justice requires should novy transferred to a more distmgms ie personage A brief summaiy in contestibie facts will evihee the jus ness of this observation

arts of persuasion and flattery were employed. But as I did not hasten to give in my adhesion, and remained most mysteriously silent, in other words, had not converted myself into a boisterous and zealous partisan of of general Jackson, it became necessary to change that policy, and to substitute intimidation for blandishment —Mr Kremer presented him self as a fit agent in this new work He was ardent, impelled by a blind and infurate zeal, and irresponsible^ and possessed at least the faculty of clamorous vociferation His letter to the Columbian Observer was prepared, and he was instructed to sign and transmit it. That he was not the author of the letter he has delib erately admitted to Mr Crpwninshield, former secretary of the oavy That Ire was not acquainted with its contents, that is, did not comprehend the import of its terms, has been sufficiently established IoGov. Kent, Col Little, (who voted in the House of Representatives for Gen. Jackson,) Col Brent of Louisiana, and Mr Dirges, he disclaimed all intention of told me

uents, that the night before Mr. kre mer's "as 1 was voluntarily informed, Mr Eaton, a senator from Tennessee, and the biographer of General Jackson (who boarded in the other end of this city opposite to that in which Mr Kremer look up his abode, a distance of about two miles and a half) was closeted for some time

twith

him This paragraph led to a correspondence between Mr Eaton aud myself, in the course of which, in a letter from me to him, under date the 31st March, 18 -5, I observe: "It is proper for me to add, that I did believe, from your nocturnal iuterview with Mr Kremer referred to in my address, that you prepared or advised the publication of his card, in the guarded terms in which it is expressed I should be happy, by a disavowal on your part, of the 'act ol that interview, or of its supposed ob ject, lo be able

declare, as, in the

ton, in the transaction referred to. It was the subject of the correspondence between us, and I purposely afforded him an

honorable

opportunity

of avowing or disavowing any co-op-eration with Mr. Kremer. Instead of embracing it, he does not deny the visit, nor any inference from it. On the contrary, he says in his letter of the 31st March, 1825-"Suppo«e the fact to be, that I did visit him, TMr. Kremer] and suppose, too, that it was, as you have termed it, a nocturnal visit was there any thing existing that should have denied me this privilege?" V.

As Mr. Kremer asserted that he did not write the letter to the Columbian Observer, and as Mr. Eaton does not deny that he wrote thp card published in Mr Kremer's name, Uie inference is not unfair that, haying been Mr. Kremer's adviser and amanuensis on one occasion, he ac in the same character on the otner. It is ouite clear that the statemen in the letter to the Columbian server are not made upon mer's own Knowledge Hev speak, ot reports, rumors, &c. were said to have been It is most probable that those statementsareiounded on Gen-

aid to elect Mr. Adams." j-nv:ral Jackson says—"He [Mr. Buchanan) said he had been informed by the friends of Mr. Clay that the friend® of Mr. Ad^ms had made overtures to them, saying, if Mr. Clay and his'* friends would unite in aid of the election of Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay should be Secretary of State The variations between other parts of the two letters, are not greater than often occur in different narratives of the same conversation. They are not so great as those which exist in the accounts which Gen Jackson h« himself given, at different time-s, of the same transaction. This will kt* manifest from a comparison of Mr. Beverly's report ot the conversation at the Hermitage, contained in tho Fayetteviile letter of the 8th of March last, with Gen Jackson's statement of the sam« conversation, in his letter to Mr. Beverly, of the 6th of June. Speaking of his letter, Mr. Beverly says, in his letter to N. Zane, esq that Gen. Jacks »n ''asserts a great deal more than he ever

tai&ed in his famous letter. The rancor of party spirit spares nothing. It pervades, it penetrates every where.—It does not scruple to violate the sanctity of social and pri» vate intercourse—it substitutes t'or facts, dark surmises and malevolent insinuations—it misrepresents and holds up in falsr and invidious -i^iUs, incidents perfectly harm! ia 1'.crnselvps, of ordinary orcurre»''ce, or of rrere t:o nmou civility. More than on'.'', in these agitaf -d times, has unsuspecting and muncent coiiversation, which I have i^-ld wiili au individual, and which I never e.ireitained the slightest suspicion vks to be the text of newspaper animadversion, been published with scandalous perversions in the public prints, and supplied aliment for inaiignent criticism, i'he intercouse aud relations between G:-n. Jackson and invself, have furnished a copious tln-me ol detraction and misrepresentation. These remarks are made in justification of the allusion which 1 feel constrained to make a subject which, although there is nothing appertaining to it that I can desire to conceal, or which can occasion me any regret, should never be touched without the most urgent ne» cessity. I would not now refer to it, if I had not too much ground to believe that he has countenanced, if not prompted, very great misrepresentations, which have first appeared in newspapers supporting his cause, and enjoying his particular confidence, of circumstances, information of which must have been derived from him

My personal acquaintance witli Gen. Jackson commenced in the fall of 1815, at the city of Washington. Prior to that time, I had never seen him.—He engaged to pass a week of the ensuing summer at my residence in Kentucky. During *hat season, I received a letter from him, communicating his regret that he was prevented from visiting me—I did not again see him until that session of congress at which the events of the Sminole war were discussed. He arrived in Washington in the midst of the debate, and after the delivery, but before the publication of the first speech which I pronounced on that subject. Waiving all ceremony, called to see him, intending by the visit to evince, on my part, that no opinion, which a sense ol duty had compelled me to express of his public conduct, ought to affect our perhonal intercourse. My visit was not returned, and I was subsequently told that he was in the habit 01 indulging in the bitterest observations upon most of those,
