From the Kentucky Refizrier. TO THE PUBLIC. On ir.y arrival at Wheeling, on the '2d instant, I was informed that Mr. Carter Beverly, then at that place, hud leceived the preceding night by mail, a letter from General Jackson, which lie had exhibited to several persons, and left, with my friend Colonel Noah Zinc, for my pcrusual, and

which I was told formed ?. subject of general conversation, and had produced much excitement in the town. The Captain of the Reindeer having kindly detained his steam boat for my accommodation, and as I was unwilling any longer to delay his departure, I had only time to obtain a hasty but I believe a correct copy of the letter, and I now seize the first moment, after my arrival at home, to present it to the public, together with a copy of another letter addiessed by Mr. licvcry to Col. Z me. I purposely forbear, to make several comments which these documents authorize, and confine myself to a notice ol the charges which General Jackson lias brought forward in his Icittr. These charges are, 1st. That my friends in Congress, early in January, 1825, proposed to him that, if he would syy or permit any of his confidential friends to sav, that, in case he was elected President, Mr. Adams shcukl not be continued Secretary of State, by a complete

union of myself and my h lends, we would put an end to the Presidential contest in an hour : and 2dly. That the above proposal was made to General Jackson, thiuugh a distinguished member of Congress, of high standing, with rr.y privity arid ccnse:it. To the latter charge, I oppose a direct, unqualified and indignant denial. I neither made, nor aulhoi i?.e J, nor knew ol any preposition w hatevcr to cither of the three candidates who were returned to the 11 of Representatives at the b.il Presidential election, or to the fiiem's of either of them, for the purpose of influencing the result of the election, or for any other purpose.
