representation. These remarks arc made in justification of the allusion which I feel constrained lomakc to a subject Which) although there is nothing appertaining to it that I can desire to conceal, or which can occasion mc any regret, should never be touch cd without the most urgent necessity. I

would not now refer to it, if I had not too

much ground to believe that he has countc nanccd, if not prompted, very great misrc

presentations, which have first appeared in newspapers supporting his cause and enjoy

ing his particular confidence, ot tircumstan

ccs, information of which must have been

derived from him. . My personal acquaintance with gen Jack son commenced in the fall of 1815, at the ci

ty of Washington. Prior to that lime, I had never seen him. Our intercourse was then

friendly and cordial. lie engaged to pass a

week of the ensuing summer at my residence in Kentucky. During that season, I received a letter from him, communicating his regret that he was prevented from visiting mc. I did not again sec him until that session ol conpress at which the events of the Seminole

war were discussed lie arrived at Washington in the midst of the debute, and alter the delivery, but before the publication of the first speech which I pronounced on that subject. Waiting all ceremony, I called to see ilitn, intending by the visit to evince, on my part, that no opinion, which a sense of duty had competed me to express of his public conduct, ought to affect our personal intercourse. My visit was not returned, and I was subsequently told that he was in the hatit of indu ging in the bitterest observations upon most of those, myself among the number, who had called in question the propriety of his military conduct in the Seminoic war.

1 saw no more of him, except possibly at

to my departure from home that t might of-

fcr to him the hospitality ot my house, and

lest he might misinterpret the motive ol my

departure, u it prcccutci nisarnvai. in mis

temper of mmd, I think it quite possible that I may have said that, it I had been aware ol his intention to pass that way, 1 would haw written to him when I intended to set out, and urged him to reach Lexington befote I started on myjouincy. I certainly never contemplated travelling in company w ith him, having some time before made all my arrange mcnls for the journey with the gentleman

who accompanied mc, and having determin ed upon a route different from the usual one which was taken by gen. Jackson. It has been affirmed that I wrote to him, expressing a wish to accompany him to the city ot Wash ington, and his siiencc would seem to imply

an acquiescence in tne correctness vi mc statement, if it were not put for vv aid on his suggestion. I am quiic sure that 1 did not at that period wiite him a iettcrof ai) dcsciip lion ; but if I did, I hcie express my entire assent to the poblica'ion of that or any other

letter addressed to him by me. I do not believe I did, -because 1 do not think there was time, alter I heard of his intention to come by Lexington, for a letter from me to reach Nashville, anil an answer to be returned, before it w as rcquisic to commence the journey a punctual attendance on my pari heing necessary as the pi eliding officer ol the

a

distance, during the same winter, in this city, until the summer of the year 13 9. Heing, in that summer, on my w ay from N. Orleans

to Lexington, and travelling the same road on which he was passing, in the opposite direction horn Lexington to Nashville, we met at Lebanon, in Kentucky, where I had stopt to bteakfast. i was sitting at the door in the shade, reading a newspaper, when the arrival of gen Jackson and his suite was announced. As he ascended the steps S: approached me, I rose and saluted him m the most respectful manner. lie darted by mc, slightly in dining his head, and abruptly addressing me. lie was followed by some of his suite, who stopped and conversed with me some time, giving me the latest information of my family I aftewards learnt that gen. Jackson accotn panted president Monroe, in a visit to my family, and partook of some slight refreshments at my house. On leaving the tavern at Lebanon, I had occasion to go into a room where I found gen. Jackson seated, leading a newspaper, and I retired, neither having spoken to tho other, and ptpsued my journey, in company with four or five travelling companions. Such was the state ot our relations at the Commencement of the session of congress in 1823, the interval having passed without my seeing him. Soon after his arrival here to attend that session, I collected from certain indications that he had resolved upon a general amnesty, the benefit of which w as to b extended to me He b; came suddenly reconciled with some individuals between whom S: himself there had been a long existing enmity. The gt cater part of the Tennessee delegation (all except Mr. Kaon and gen. Cocke) call cd on me together, early in the session, for the express purpose, as I. understood, of producing a reconciliation between us. I related, in substance, all the above circumstances, including the meeting at Lebanon. By vvav of apology lor his 'conduct at Lebanon, some of the gentlemen remarked, that he had not intended a disrespect to mc, but that he was laboring under some indisposition. I stated that the opinions which I had expressed in the house of representatives, in regard to gen. Jackson's military transaction, had been sincerely entertained, & were still held, but that, being opinions with res pect to public aits, they never had been sup posed by mc to fcrm any just occasion for private enmity between us, and that nne had been cherished on my part. Consequently, there was on my side no obstacle to a meeting with him, and maintaining a respectful intercourse. For the purpose of bringing us together, the Tennessee representatives, all of whom according ro mv recollection, board

house. If such a kitei had, been (.is most

undesignedly ii might hari been) written, can j

any thing mote stiongly illustrate, the spin ol hostility againt ore than the unwarrantable inferences, which hae been drawn from that assumed fact When. I left home in No vcmber. I'did not certainly know the tlecto ral vote of a solitary state in the Union. Although I did not doubt the result of that in Kentucky, the n turns had not come in, and the first authentic information which I received of any state was that of Ohio, which reached me on the Kcnhawa, dining the journey, more than two hundred miles from my residence. Whether I would be cue of the three returned to the house of representatives was not ascertained, until n ore than three weeks after 1 had reached Washington. Is it not. then, most unreasonable to suppose, it 1 had wtiucn such a letter as has been itn agincd, proposing that we should travel to ;cther, that I could h,ue had any object connected with the-prcsidential election: I reached Washington sevetal days before him Shortly after his art i .il, he called to see me, but I was out; I returned the vir.it, considering it in both instances one of metctcrcnio ny. 1 met with him but raicly during that session, and always, when I did see him, in

cc) to vote, if I voted at all, for one of those

actually letut ncd. The duty which the people devolved on mc was painful and perilous, and 1 anticipated that it was impossible foi mc, whatever 'comae 1 should take, to escape censure. I confess that the measure has n ji scended a. I expectation if it be not unexampled. It has been seen that my opinion was early and dclibciatcly formed, under circumstances where no personal motive could have s waved me ; that it was adhered to with out deviation ; and that it was avowed again

and again, not to one or two, but lo many persons, not in obscurity but standing high in the public estimation and in my own. Not a particle of testimony has been, or with truth can be adduced. 1 have indeed dei ived consoia lion from the icilection that, amidst all the

perturbation ol the times, no man has yet been found hardy enough to assert, that I ever signified a purpose of voting lor general Jai kson. It has been seen that, so far as any advances were made, they proceeded irom the side of general Jackson. After our meeting at Lebanon, ages might have rolled away, and, if wc both continued to live, I never would have sought the renewal of mv interc ursc with him.
