had appointed Mr. Clay Secretary of State. After these events had transpired, it may be readily conjectured, in what manner 1117 communication mhrht have

deemed the question improper, he might

refuse to give it an answer. That my only motive in asking it was friendship for him, and I trusted he would excuse me for thus introducing a subject, about which I knew he wished to be silent. His reply was complimentary to myself, end, accompanied with a request that 1 thould proceed. I then stated to him. there was a report in circulation, that he had determined he would appoint Mr. Adams Secretary of State in case he was elccttd; and that I wished to ascertain from him whether he had ever intimated such an intention. That hi must at once perceive, how injurious to his election such a report might be. That no doubt there were several able Sc ambitious men i the country, among whom I thought Mr. Clay might be included, who were aspiring to that office ; and if it wore believed lie had already determined to appoint his chief competitor, it might have a most unhappy effect upon their exertions, and those of their friends. That unless he had so determined, I thought this report should be promptly contradictek under his own authority. I mentioned, it had already probably done him some injury, and proceeded to relate to him the substance ol the conversation which I had held with Mr. Markley I do not remember whether I mentioned his name, or merely described him as a friend of Mr. Clay. After I had finished, the General declared he had not the least objection to answer my question. That he thought w ell of Mr. Adams; but had never said nor intimated, that he would, or that he would not appoint him Secretary of State That these things were secrets he would heep to himself he would conceal them from the very hairs of his head. That il he believed his right hand then knew what his left would do upon the subject of appointments to office, he wouhl cut it off and cast it into the fire. That if he should ever be elected President, it w ndd be without solicitation and intrigue on his part that he would then go into office perfectly free and untrammelled, and would be left at peifect liberty to fill the offices of government with the men whom at the time he believed to be the ablest and the best in the country. I told him that his answer to my question was such an one as I had expected to receive, if he answered it at all ; and that I had not sought to obtain it for my own satisfaction. 1 then asked him if 1 were at liberty to repeat his answer. He said I was perfectly at liberty to do so to any person I thought proper. I need scarcely remark that I afterwards availed myself of the privilege. The convcrsatian upon this topic hcie ended and in ail our intercourse since, whether personally or in the course of our correspondence, Gen. Jackson never once adt cried to the sub-

sion ; and thus prevented the necessity lor this most unpleasant explanation. When the Editor of the United Stales' Telegraph, on the 12ih of OciSbCr laM, aked me bv ictter for informs fun v. vi, the subject, I promptly inform'l-d him In the returning m;:ii on the 1 oth of thai month, that I had no authority from Mr. Clay or his hiemU. to propose any terms to General J tckson in 1 elation to their votes, nor did I ever make any su h pi op osilion ; and that I liristed I would be us incapable of boco.id'ng a messenger up on such an occasion, its it was known (Jen. Jackson would be to receive sm.M a on s sago. I have deemed it nec.twiy to make this statement, in order to remove any misconception which may have been occasioned by the publication, in 1 lie I 1cgraph, of my letter lo the editor, dattd the 1 1th ultimo. With another remark, t shall rinse this communication. Before I held the conversation with General Jackson, which I have detailed. 1 called upon Major Eatott, and icqtiested him to ask General Jackson, whether he had ever declared or intimated, that h j would appoint Mr. Adams Secretary of Str'.e, and expi essed a desire that the General should ay, if consistent with truth, that he did not intend to appoint him to that office- I believed that such a declaration would have a hap py inlluence upon the election, and I endeavored to convince him that such would be its effect. The conversation between us was not s full, as thai with General Jackson The Major politely declined to comply wilh my request, and advised me to propound the question to the General myself, as 1 possessed a full share of his confidence.
