Wheeling 10/A August, 1827. ' • Gentlemen—On my return home the day before yesterday from a journey nken for the benefit of my health, I for the first time, read Carter Beverley’s letter of the 11th July last, published in the U. S. Telegraph and the re marks made thereon by the Editor of that Journal.—Both the text and tho commentary give a colour to the whole transaction which th'e facts by no means warrant. The Editor is in a groat degree exclusivo for the view ho took of my agencyjn that affair, as he had no other information on the subject than what he obtained from Mr. Boverley, and probably was not apprised of the slight" credit which is given to that man’s statement where ho is best known. J ustice to myself seems to require that a true statement of my conduct, and an expla nation of my motives in the affair alluded to by Mr. Beverley, should be laid before the public, and I ask the favour of yon, Gentle men, to publish in your paper, this communi cation together with the accompanying docu ments, and I trust that you will not in this in stance refuse to gratify an old friend and ac quaintance. Tho intimation I had of the receipt of Gen. Jackson’s letter bv Cartor Beverly was convey ed by bis note of t!ic25lhof Juno last, in which, lie says “the very high respect which I liavo for you nnd your political character, added to the great zoal and interest I feel for the honor and welfare of our country, induced me to an nounce to you the receipt last night from Gun. Jackson of a lettor dated the 5th inst. from his residence in Tennessee. He most unequivo cally confirms ail I have said regarding the o- verture made to him ponding tho Presidential election, and asserts a great deal more than lie told me, going most circumstantially into the business. It was always his intention he says, that if Mr. Clay ever denied thoficts, to give him up his authority. It is of tho first charac ter and order in our government nnd country. It only awaits Mr. CMay’s denial, when the ' whole subject will bo brought to istnejtcfore the public. I make this communication to you on many accounts, but especially as I under stand Mr. Clay is to call on you this morning and pass ait hour or two with you, on hfs way down the river from Pittsburgh. My friend Mr. Hollingsworth, of this place, has seen the General’s letter. He will bear to me, any communication from you, which, ns it is all a public matter, 1 shall bo glad may be made in writing.” To that letter I made the following reply: “I have received your note of this morn ing by Mr, Hollingsworth and request tho fi ver of you to send mo Gen. Jackson’s letter. I pledge myself to return it.” Mr. Beverly immediately after the receipt of my no e, sent mo by Mr. Hollingsworih, Gen. Jackson’s let ter. In tho opinion of Mr. Beverly, this let ter, was of the first ch trader und order in our government, of a pubi c nature,-and only a- waited Mr. Chty’s denial, nnd General Jack- sou would g re up the name of his author; and ho makes his commuuicition to me, “on many accounts, but especially as I understand that Mr. Clay is to call on you this morning.” Af ter this voluntary parade of a highly important document, which concerned Mr. Clay person ally, nnd in tho opinion of Mr. Beverly himself, involved tho character of our government, of which Mr. C. is a member, was it not natural that a plain man like myself, unversed in a mode of expression, which would seem to re serve soma meaning, foreign from the import of the words, should adopt tho opinion that Mr. Beverly intended tho General’s letter for the inspection of Mr. Clay, and would h.tvo no ob jection to a copy being taken, especially as lie did not stipulate to the contrary? Such was my view of tho matter /Rid I acted accordingly. Had Mr. Boverly designed tho tho loiter for ray private perusal, why should ho have sent it to me at tho time Mr. Clay was expect ed at my house? Did ho intend to furnish mo with the means of cntcchising Mr. Clay upon the contents of the letter, without submitting it to his perusal, nnd thus have elicited some ex pression which might bo used to his disadvan tage? If such was his plan I was not acn e e— nottgh to discern it, or if I had comprehended it, I (rust I should not have heon sufficiently base to have adopted it. On Mr. Clay having visited mo, I handed him General Jackson’s letter, which he read and returned to me, m i king no other comments upon it than what rela ted to the proposal ulledged to have been mado by him and Ids friends—To thos’e he said they were.unfoundcd,ns to himself, and he helievod untrue tn his friends. I informed Mr, Chy that I was pledged to return tho letter to Mr. Beverly but would havo it copied for him, and for that purpose I handed it to my friend and relation then present. Air. Clay there ‘oto oCt my house wlion the copy w-ts under prog/es--.—- Mr. Hollingsworth called on me nnddem.tmled the letter which I refused to givo up ttn 1 the copy then undor way should-be completed. Had Mr. B. when he sent me tho letter, exp.ess- od a desire that it should bo shewn to Air. Cl ty, ■ but not copied, I might have conformed to his wishes. But as I had promised Air. C. a cop- y before I had no idea that it would bo object ed to, and he had left my houso under n ex- mrlNE months after date, application will be made XX to the honorable tho Inferior Court of Monroe County, xvhen sitting for Ordinary purposes, for leave to sell the Real Estate of Elijah Curry, deceased, for the benefit of the heirs of stiid dec. ascd.
