With reference thus made, to remain silent and reserved, amidst the gen eral interest which prevails, by many might he considered improper. I shall present; there, fore, my understanding of tilings as-they. were at the time, and as they are still, retained upon my recollection. Botw'eeo the statement of General Jackson, mid- that submitted by Mr. Buchanan, 1 cttil perceive some differences; but they are prin cipally verbal, and not material. Tltoso which do obtain, appear to mo rather as to inferences deduced front facts, - than ns to the fact* them selves;, substantially, there is accord. J-Mi*. Buchanait alleges, that, on approaching Getfc- raf Jackson, he did not come from Mt.Clay.. It is riot asserted jlmt; he did.' General Jack- son;states, his -opinion at-the'time was, that Mr. Bucliannn .had come from Mr. Cl.iy, or some of his friends; but this is given rnorely as matter of impression—noihing more. By the showing of Mr. Isnrks.nnd fir; Buchanaii,' it how appears, that M., M irkley wnjftbe &&& tiaVor. A difference as to the date—the peri- ,od of time at which ‘die conversation took plirce—may exist; for Mr. Buchanan places it on ihe. doth of Decerahor. It may’be, hoWo- yer, tfiaf he itifonds this as the period of his cniiyoiration with Mr. M ukloy^ if i( b’e in re- lereiice to It.s iuierview with General Jackson, iiibn, i.gieeably to my recollection, it is a inis- t -ke. I cannot precisely, and to a day, de clare the time when Mi. B. cune toseo and to converse ividi me; bu. Ido re collect.it to have beeu ijuring that week,, on the S itifdav of wh dr the, reported Theelitjg of Air.

It was on the pavement, and iii front of my own rc- s,deuce,, wliere we conversed together. A statement of ourcoitversMiou,;concisely drawn, was given to Goiicrul Green,- editor,cf lie U- nited'$taicx’ Telegraph, at his requflst r -in Au- gus., AB2C—nioro tltau, a year ago. It is, as tollqws; “In January, 1825, a fnW'days before it hnilbcen •known that Mr. Clay and liis friends had declared in t'avorof Mr. Adainsl I was called upon by .Mr. Buch anan of Pennsylvania. He said, it wus pretty well an- derstuod that overtures were making by the friends of Adams on tho subject of cabinOt'appointmeat: 'that Jiicksiiii siiottld figlit them with their own weapons.— lle.inid, tlie opinion was. that Jhckson would retain Adams; nitd that it was'doiugliim injury. That the General should state whom ho would make Secretary of £mto| aiiVl-desired that I would name it to him. My reply was)-that I wjjs sati^God Genera^ Jackson would sa say notiiiug on the a'uhioct. Mr. Buchaiinn cii f..-murk«ilT“*VVell, if he will merely say lie will not retain Mr. Adams, that will answer.”. 1 loplied I was satisfied Genera! Jackson would neither say who should, or Who should not be Secretary of State—but that in; ("Mr. B.) knew him Weil, and might talk with him as well us I could.' 'Mr. Buclmunn then said, that. OtvtKo next,day, bufore tlie General went fofho House lie would call. Ilo didso, as lafterwurdsimdcrstood.” In this ;ip|i|icntion'and interview, l icit that Mr. Buchanan was acting on tlie ground of an xious solicitude for‘ tho success of General Jackson, and from a desire lint- nothing of stra tagein and mnnugomeut should interpose to prevcul the election of Olio for whom ho felt more thin common interest.

In connexion with this speech nre also oth er matters which havo been presented to the consideration of tho country; about which I tndel against unlooked-for assaults,'and believ ed consequently, that the enemy should he mot with their own. woapons. He may have in tended ip present this as the idea and opinion of others, iipt his own. Such, indeed, may have been he case, though.I cannot say I so understood him at the tlmp.. ' I take occ ision, lo repeat,’ that the conversa tion, ns hero glyen, at-'the request of the cdiior uf tjte United Sta es’ Telegraph, was afforded hiui iu August) l82fi, While ho was on a v sit to Tennessee. I mentiou (his .fact, because, the'suuenient being iu Ills possession, lie will be enabled to say, if tho one ho has, and that which' is here submitted, be not ihe same. By tiiis circiuiistancc, tints fortunately existing, 1 miy lin'd fiafety from some of those charges winch a kindly editor has already taken occa sion to -sftrmise and insinuate. The migutier- oux and illiberal 'effort is made to excite pre judice, to forestall-tho public, and to awaken suspicions, 'through tlie allegation that an ut- tenipt; would made “10 discredit Alu Buch- fei m by nrraying Major Eaton nnd others a- gainst him'* before the public. On so idle an errand, 'and so liopless an effort, I should ex ceedingly ‘regret the necessity of being oblig ed to pioceed; and yet, were it necessary to m iiintnn myself ou any the demands of truth, I should .certainly venture, regardless of the sayings and prophecies of any 0110. Between Air. Buchanan’s statement, my own, and that of General Jjtcksou, heretofore published, I can, iisulieudy rein inked, discern no essential Of material difference. True, before I had read nnd particularly examined, what had been Stated, ! believed differences were to bu found though (hat opinion no longer letn.-ins. I there be those who dvsiro to urge that any such do exist, mid that the submitted avermems are iii fact'unlike, I shall be freo and cheerful 10 concede, that tlie mistakes are those which proceed from error of recollection, .and front 110 other cause. I have known A!-. Buchan- in too long, to place any statement of hut, which might ho discrepant with my own, uu- ‘dorjhu head of imeutioual error, 01 ascribe it to any other chcnmstaneo than inaccuracy of recollection. I might hero rest my temarks, and forbear to say more on the subject, but being in possos- siou of spine facts, which may. not be consider ed immaterial—tire tendency of which may be to exltibii matters more fully to public consi deration—I shall not conclude tills presenta tion without submitting thorn also. 1 havo nl- ready said, that a meeting was held on the 22-1 of January; previous to which time, the opin ion of Mr. Clay ind his friends were but little known—conjecture alone pointed out what probably their course would he. On the suc ceeding Monday, the opinion prevailed, that they had taken their ground; tind' in a few day's afterwards, Air. Clay’s military chleftian letter, as it has been styled, was written to Judge; BrOoKe.of Virginia, of whom he speaks as a-ppljct)lftrjriond. Iu that letter, he men tions fits difficult, “highly critical’’ situation— the interrogation to his conscience, and the course he had resolved to pursue. Thns, to a particular friend, on the 28th of January, mid Hot earlier,' was a declaration made of the course he Imd concluded to iStko. Why tho; necessity of a silence so long undTigidly pre served! . - 1 * ~x Tltis Saturday evening meeting, and the eoursu which had been resolved upon, formed geuorally on Monday the subject of conversa tion. Tho Senate having adjourned, General Jackson and myself were passing frqm the -Capitol, being yet within the enclosure, and near to a fl!ght of steps leading to the avenue, 'vlien Mr. Clay, coming diagonally on our route front the-House of Itepreson<ativcs, passed ve ry ne a, and without speaking. He was pro ceeding down the flight of steps in the from of the budding, and we were in tlio act qf dft- scendiftg, when some person coming up a’ccost- ed us. At that moment, Air. Clay, turning round, observed, “how arc you today, Gener al!” \v th a manner somewhat embarrassed, :ts though lie Imd just then discovered him. Tha sulu>ation was returned, and Mr. Cl-y passed on. Immediately afterwards, General J >ck- son remarked, to nm, that Air. C. seemed d.s- • posed to pass him w.thout speak u”, my answer was, “as ho has concluded -o vottfaigaiimt von, : General, I suppose he is solicitous for no tu: — titer intercourse;” we dropped lie subject. I had never before perceived Air. City thus dis tant, with General Jackson, having been previ ously quite the reverse; and well knowing) from our near proximity at passing, that it was , altogether improbable lie should not have ob- soived us, I looked to this coyness on his part, as a cneums.anco corroborative of wlmt bad been the. reports of the day—a determ nation taken to support Air. Adams. Previously to the annunciation of thi3 moot ing on Saturday, I Imd not distrusted tho rosult of the election. As regarded tho course K«n- . lucky would take, even conceding the force"of Air. Clay’s influence, I fell that there was se curity in these considerations: That, so far from there being any tiling of good, there had been an unfriendly understanding very late ly subsisting between Air. Adams and Air. Clay; that Mr. Adams was not tlio cho.ce of Kentucky; had not been thought of 01 voted for there; and, of all the persons' presented .o a he public, would probably have received tho most inconsiderate suffrage In that State; that Air. Crittemfen, who stood at the head of tho electoral list for Mr. Clay, and whom opiiuma. ' of tho preference and choice of Kentucky,.. I hence-inferred, might have weigh:, had wraen to a friend of mine at Washington, that’Ken tucky preferred Jackson, and w.slied him succeed against Adams. Bu;, bbsido all tit s, tho Legislature of tho State had sent lor lt their instructions (or request) on this subject, declar ing what was to be considered tho senso of tlio ' People; and I, well i-emcinberug tint warn; and ancient contest between .Mr. Clay and Mr. Pope, on tho subjoct of a disregard of in structions, had not supposed that the fo.nier would veil uie.to place at nought his previous open avowal ou this important political point. These were tlio grounds of my opinions, and of my conclusions; and they wero removed on ly when I understood that tlvs ur tamg iia.l been held, and the vote of Kentucky uo.drm.n- ed upon. There wero oalier considerations of infer ence mid of argument. The State, of JfeW* York was thought to‘ho dependent, for the course sho would pursue, on the vote of a sin gle individual. Thus situated, it-could not be known to ab.-qlniu certainty, thnogli conjectur- . ally it was, what, Anally, her course would be. Maiyland, it was believed, would nt leait, on the first ballot, be on >ho side of AI *. A'! imL— These two, wi It the six New England S t qij were all which, with any th ng of certainty, could be counted on. Five wore yet wanted, Louisiana and Illinois, it wis belie veil, would be in favor of- the same course; though) as it ’ was in opposition lo tlie prefefnnco'iii iicotcd by tho electoral colleges ai home, it wsa -so-.- ed that the membcis from those State-, would not march tnth.it direction, except iu ttieoveai that thereby the election of AI *.
