*78 .>m though I doubted whether ho would hold auy conves Ration ujiou the subject. *hlr*. Mtrklcy urged mo to do so; ant! ob served, if General Jackson had not determin ed whom ho would appoint Secretary of State, and should say that it would not be 5Ir. Adams, it might he of great advantage to our cause, for Its so to declare, upon his owu authority; we should then ho placed up on the samtf footing with tho Adams men, and mitrht fight them with thoir own weapons, That tho western members would naturally prefer voting for a western min, if there wore a probability that the claims of Mr. Clay to the second office in the Government should he fairly estimated: and that if they thought proper to vote for General Jackson, they could soon decide the-contest in hfs favoi! A short time after this conversation on the 30;h of December, 1824, (I am enabled to fix the time not only from my own recollec tion, tut from letters which I wrote on that day, on the day following, and- on the 2d January, 1826,) 1 called upon Gen. Jackson. After the company had left him, by which 1 found him surrounded, he asked me to take a walk with him, and whilst we were walking together upon tho street, I introduced the sub ject-—I told him I wished to ask a question in relation to tho Presidential election; that I knew ho was unwilling to converse on the subject; that, therefore, if he deemed the question improper, he might refuse to give it an answer: that my only motive in asking it was friendship fur him, and I trusted he would excuse me for thus introducing a subject upon which I knew he w ished to be silent. Ilis reply was complimentary to myself, and accompanied with a i .'quest that l would pro ceed. I then stated to him there was a repm# in circulation that he had determined he would appoint Mr. Adams secretary of state, in case he were elected President, mid that I wished to ascertain, from him whether he h id ever in timated such an intention. That ho must at once perceive how injurious to his election, such a report might he. That no doubt there were were several ublo ambitious men in the country, among whom I thought Air. Clay might bo in cluded, who were aspiring to that oflice, and if it were believed, ho had already determined to appoint his chief competitor, it nrglit liavo a most unhappy effect upon their exertions, and those of their friends. That unless he had so dcicrmmcd, I thought this report should he promptly contradicted- under his own authori ty, l mentioned, it had already probably done him so;no injury, and proceeded to relate to him the substance of the conversation wVch I held with Mr. Mark ley. I do not remember whether I mentioned his name or merely de scribed him as a friend of Mr. Cluy. Aftur I had finished, the General declared die had not the least objection to answer the question. That ho thought well of Mr. Adams, bill had never said or intimated that he would or that ho would not appoint him secretary of State. That these wore secrets he would keep to himself—ho would conceal them from tin very hairs of his lioad. Tint if he believed ,ffis right hand then know what his loft would flo, upon the subject of appointments to office, no would cut it olf and cast it into tho fire.— .That if ho should ever ho elected President it would be without solicitation and without in trigue upon his part. That he would then go “nto office porfcc.ly free and untrammelled, tnd would bo left at perfect liberty to fill tho offices of tho government with tho men whom, at tho time, ho believed to be tho ablest and best it! the country. I told him that his answer to my question was such a one as I expected to receive if he answered it at all, nud that I had not sought to obtain it for my own satisfaction. I then ask ed him, If I were at liberty to repeat his an swer. Ho said I was perfectly nt liberty to do so to any person I thought proper. I ticei] scarcely remark that I afterwards availed my self of the privilege. The convcrsatioif upon this topic hero ended, and in all our intercourse since, whether personally or in tho course of our correspondence, Gen. Jackson has never . onco adverted to the subject, prior to tho dato of his letter to Mr. Beverly. I do not recollect that Gen. Jackson told me, X might repoat his answer to Mr. Clay and his frionds; though I should be sorry to say he did not. The whole conversation being upon the public street it might have escaped my observa tion. A few remarks and I trust I shall have done with this disagreoablo business for ever. I called upon Gen. Jackson on tho occasion which I havo mentioned, solely os his friend, tipou my individual responsibility, and not as tho agent of Mr. Clay, or any other person.— I never havo boon the political friend of Mr. Clay since ho beenmo a candidate for tho office of President, as you very well know. Until I saw Gen. Jackson's letter to Mr. Beverly of tho 5th tilt, and at the snrao tirao was infofmod by a letter from the editor of tho U. States’ Telegraph, that I was tho porson to vfftom ho alluded, the conception novor onco entered my mind, that ho hclioved mo to havo been tho a- { entof Mr. Clay, or of his friends; or that I ad iutendod to proposo to him terms of any kind from thorn, or that ho could have suppos ed mo to bo capable of expressing the “ opin ion that it- was right to fight such intriguers with their own weapons.” Such a supposition, had I entertained it, would have rendered ino exceedingly unhappy; as there is no man upon earth, whoso good opinion I more yalued than that of General Jackson. He could not, I think, havo rccoivcd this impression until after Mr. Clay and his friends had actually elected Mr. Adams president, and Mr.* Adams had ap pointed Mr. Clay secrotary of state. After these events had transpired, i| may bo readily conjectured in what manner my communica tion might have led him into the mistake. I deeply deplore that such has been its effect. • I owe it to my own character to make ano ther observation. Had I ever known, or oven suspected, that Gen. Jackson believed, I* had been sent to him by Mr. Clay or his fr.ends, I should have immediately corrected bis crronc- ovi impression; and thus prevented the neces sity for this most unploasunt explanation.— When the editor of the U. S. Telegraph, on the 12th October last, asked me by letter for informortion upon this subject, I promptly in formed him by the returning mail, on the lfi'.h of that month, that I had no authority from Mr. Clay or his friends to proposo any terms to General Jackson in rclitiou to tlieir votes nor did I ever make such proposition ; and that I trusted I would bo as incapable of beco ming a messenger upon such an occasion, as it was known Gen. Jackson would he to receive such a message. I have doomed it necessary to make this statement, in order to remove any misconception which may have been occasion ed by tho publication in the Telegraph of my letter to the editor, dated the lltlt ult. With another remark I shall close this commu nication. Before I held tho conversation with Gen. Jackson, which I have detailed, I called upon Major Eaton, and requested him to ask Gen. Jackson, whether lie had ever declared or intimated, that he would appoint Mr. Ad ams secretary of stale, and expressed a desire, tint tho General should say, if consistent with the truth, that ho did not intend to appoint him to that office. 1 believed that such a de claration would have a happy influence upon tho election, and I endeavored to oapvince him that such would bo its effect. Tne con versation was not so full, ns that with General Jackson. The Major politely dccliued to comply with my request, and advised me to propound iny question to tho General himself, as I possessed u full share of his confidence. JAMES BUCHANAN. Lancaster, 8th Aug. 1827. MA€©I. Tuesday, September.4, 1&2T. ‘ Our Country ....Our whole Country.” Tlie flimsy attompt of the Radical presses to palliate tho language of Forsyth towards the immortal Washington, on the ground that (lio purchase of the medals was unconstitution al, puts us in miud of an anecdote wo once heard : “A good nut and old codger and his wife, to avoid continual'disagreement, drew up an in strument of writing for their mutual govern ment. Things now went on right smoothly, until, returning home together one evening, ra ther boozy, the old man tumbled into a ditch 1 and, being unable to got out, ho called upon his beloved for assistance. At hor reply the old man was thunderstruck: No ! says she ; l can't—that's not in the contract /” So when Forsyth declared, "that there was nothing in the revolutionary or subsequent ser vices of General IVishington to induce us to set so high a value 300,j on any thing which had been in his possession," his friends endeavor to justify his blasphemy, on tho ground that no such thing is mentioned in the Constitution ! But Forsyth probably thought ns little about the Constitution at this time, as ho did when ho advocated tho sodition act and gag law of old Adams's administration; or when he toast ed iho eldest child of Federalism; or when he denounced tho democratic administration of Jcfforson; or when lie endoavored to defraud a literary institution. Ilis parasites may plas. ter over these matters if they can ; but the People will always think, that such a man can not he sound at heart, and is not qualified for tho ruler of an enliehtened state. Tho resignation by Colonel Tattnall of his seat in Congress, we may suppose, will givo rise to some new speculations, and keep alivo tho political excitement which Imd began to subside. Tho vacant office will no doubt be strenuously contended for, hut by whom, or when, wo have no additional information to that contained in tho Savannah paper. It will be remembered, that, since tho repeal of tho District Law by the last (republican !) Legis lature, tho election takes place by general ticket, “Civis,” or Civet, in the Messenger, asserts that the - lato barbecue in this county has lost Mr. Talbot 40 or 50 Votes! As he cannot prove this, and nobody beliovos it, lye presume ho moans gained instead of lost—else why in such alarm about It? If he behoved that Mr. Talbot had lost votes, wo should* have heard it announced in a different manner. It wont do, Civet, your statomont refutes itself. You must “sputter, spawl and slaver,” more consistent with reason, to. injure Mr. Talbot or alarm his friends. The weathor for the last fortnight has assum ed a temperature altogether unusual for this season of tho year. It has been dry and cool. On some mornings, oven in this mild latitude, n fire has beon almost indispensable to com fort. Tho growing crops aro suffering' with drought. It is expected tho quantity of cot ton will fall considerably short of last year’s crop. In the lower sections of tho state, tho caterpillar wa loam is committing exton sive ravages. [communicated.
