General in Ms letter to Mr. Swartwout proceeds to rcmaik, "No one beheld mc set king through art 01 management, to endec any representative m ongress from a conscientious responsibility to nis own. or the wMies ol Ins constituents. Jso midnight taper burnt by me; no secret conclaves were held, nor cables entered into to peisuadc any one to a violation of pledges given, or of instructions received. Hy me no plans were concerted to imparc the puic principles of out republican institutions, nor to prostrate that fundamental maxim which maintains the supiemacy of the people's will. On the contraiy, taxing never in any manner before the people, or Congress, interfered in the slightest degree with the question, my conscience stands void oi offence, and will go quietly with me, regardless of the insinuations of thove vh", through management, may seek an influence not sanctioned by integrity and meiit.M I am not aware that this defence of himself, was rendered necessary by any charges brought forward against the General Certainly I never made any such charges against him. I v ! II not suppose that in the passages cited he intended to impute to me the misconduct he describes; and yet taking the whole contcx- of his letter together, and coupling it with Mr. Kremci's add ss, it cannot be disguised th-t others may suppose he intended to refer to me. 1 am quite sure 'hat i'. he did, lie could not have formed those unfavoiablc opinions of me upn any personal observation of my conduct made by himself; lor a supposition tnat they weic founded upon his own knowl , d.;c, vvouid imply that
preferment, the Inevitable cficct would be the ultimate establishment of a Military Government? If the contents of the letter to Mr. Swartwout, were such as justly t excite surprise, there were other circumstances not calculated to diminish it. Of all the citizens ol the United States, that gentleman is one of the last to whom it was necessary to address any vindication of Gen Jackson. He had given abundant evidence of his entiic devotion to the caue of the Gr-ncial. He was here after the election, and was one of a committee who invited the fleneial to a public dinner, pioposcd to be given to him in this place. My letter to Judge Hrcokc was published in the papers of this City on the 12th of February The General's note declining the invitation of Mr. Swartwout and others, was published on the Uth, in the National Journal. The
probability thertfote is, that he did not leave this City until after he had a full opportunity to receive in a personal interview with the Genetal, any verbal obser va'ions upon it which he might have thought proper to make. The letter to Mr. Swartwout bears date the 23d ol February. If received by him in New Y nk, it must have t cached him, in the otdinary course of the mail, on the 25th or 26th. Whether intended or not as a "private communication," and not lor the "public eye,' as alleged hy htm, there is much prob ibiiity in believing that its publication in New York, on the 4th March, was then made, like Mr. Kicmcr's ad'tress, with the view to its arrival in this Citv in lime to aflVct my nomination to the Senate.
