Sir—I have this moment received your note, in answer to mine of this date. I make no apology for continuing this correspondence, although you iutiumie a wish to conclude It* be cause it will be readily understood, that it is in your character as a public journalist, and not as an individual I address you. I exercise, a right therefore, which, as tho Editor of a pub lic journal, you can with no propriety with hold, when I claim the insertion of this nore in tho same paper which conveys your cwn com munication to the public. I repeat the quotation from your Roto of yesterday:— "My solo object was ot onco to clear tho skirts of the President of a charge, which you are well aware ought not to be attached to him; fur you have, as I understand, declared that he disclaimed to you ot the time when you were in commmunication with Col. Johnson, any design like that now imputed to him." The first remark which I have to mako up on this quotation, with reference to your ob servation, that I do not seem to controvert the first branch of this statement, is tho follow ing:— Your assertion that I teas well aware, that the charge against the President, to which you referred, ought not to be attached to him, was made expressly to rest upon your understand- ing, that I had explicitly declared, that he [tho President] disclaimed to me, any such de sign. When -herel'oie, I told you, that such a statement was not warranted by any decla ration ever made by me—and of course that- your understanding was not -correct, I gave yiitt a very broad denial of my having any 2uch knowledge as that which you had imputed to mo. In more distinct terms, however, [if that be possible,] 1 now renew that declaration. 1 have no such knckeledgt—Nay; mure, sir; I have no knowledge of the paper, “in the hand writing of the President,” to which you refer. No such paper was ever read to me, or shewn to me, or spoken of to me. If it had been I should most certainly not now have had occa sion to address myself to the public on this subject, through the columns of your paper. Having thus disposed of tlie paper to which you refer, and shewn that this can furnish no ground for your understanding, of what J was or was not aware of, since, I never saw it and its contents were not communicated to me, I ad vert next to your suggestion, that this under standing is warranted by Col. Johnson’s posi tive asservation. Upon this subject, I have already told the public, through you, that 1 consider myself bound by tho implied under standing resulting fiom my correspondence with that gentleman, not to publish any state ment of tho conversation which occurred be tween him, Messrs. Branch and Ingham and myself* until no shall have had a reasonable time to reply to my letter. I told you at the same time, that any departure from this under standing, which was authorized by that gentlo man, would absolve mo front its obligation. 1 still adhere to this view, nnd contont myself, to present, with repeating in reference to that of which you suppose mo to be well aware, that J have no such knowledge. Tho time must speedily arrive when this forhearuaco will be no longer nocessary. Your next reference is to a letter of mine to Maj. Eaton, which you say is in your possess ion. As you have published an extract you are hound to give tho correspondence—oven be fore that is dono, it is very easy to see that you Itavo entirely misunderstood the expres sion you have .quoted—that a disclaimer of ac intention to press a requisition, is a wholly dif ferent thing, from a denial of ever having made it—and that in using this expression, I could not bavo had allusion to "a written declare lion,” which I had never seen or heard of. You will pcrcoivo then, sir, that you aro wholly unsustainud in all tho points of your statement, except by a declaration which you admit that you Itavo used without authority, and which will bo met if jt becomes necessary. As a faithful journalist, you will of course, seize the occasion to correct your error. You can, no doubt, do this, in relation to tho papor on which you have placed so much reliance, by a direct appeal to the President, who will not, 1 think, authorize tho statement, that that paper was ever shown to me. However this may be, I hear this testimony to tho truth. Neither inviting controversy, nor socking political ef fect, 1 find myself in a position, it) which I must either speak or silently jiermil the pub lic to be misled. I have a sufficient'senso of what is due to them, not to intrudo myself un called upon their notice—and the xoiucious ness of what I owe to my self, will not permit me to shriuk from tho performance of my du- «>• I am, very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant.

Washington, July 21,1831 Sir—Your last letter was received lato at night, witeu tho Globe was mudo up for tho press. To give it insertion with the corres pondence which preceded it, rondcrod it ne cessary that I should defer the whole until this day, and substitute other tnatlor previous ly set up, lor my paper. Without adverting to tho special pleading of your letter, [in which, being no lawyer, I Itavo no skill] 1 cun:o at onco to the point. You take issue again with me, by declaring "that no such paper as that quoted by me was ever read to [ynu] or shown to you." And you further say that tho President "will not, you think, authorise' ihe statement that that paper teas ever shewn to [you.”] When the statement which I made, pro dicated upon Col. Johnson’s letter, was im peached in your second note, I made tho ap peal *to tho President which you seem to think r al to tlie I'resident wfttcii you seem to ttiinit ought now to make. Ho immediately put Into my hands tbo.origiiral memorandum which he wrote, nnd which ho read to Messrs* Branch, Ingham and yourself;-and I am now expr. ssly authorized to stato again, that in tho interview referred to in my note and in your own loner, quoted thereiu, he held in fits hand and read to you the paper from which J have given the extracts, which you say was never re- d. shewn, or spoken of to you. And I an authorised further to say, that if you will cull on the President hr. will again exhibit and read to you this original Document, It was prepared by him in contemplation that the in. terview might lead to an immediate dissolution of his cabinet, and it was intended by him to record tho basis he assumed in doing an act which involved his. own character and the in terests-of the country. The puper thus-pre pared by the President, was communicated at tho time to several of his friends, whom he consulted oh the occasion. And tho substauco of the conversation which preceded and fol lowed tho communication, was also immediate ly reduced to writiog, and connected with the document road to you, that nothing might be left to tccollectinn, if circumstances at a re mote period should make a reference to it ne cessary. With regard to a transaction so re corded, and vouched by the concurrent testi mony of those consulted on the occasion. there can be no mistake. A man’s memory may ho treacherous when the man himself is honest. I am willing to believe this is your esse. You have innocently forgotten the de claration made by tlie President, which stands authenticated, as 1 have told you, as well as the communication of the same purport madete you by Col. Johnson. . J am obligod to rely on this teritten record of a fact rather than on your memory, especial ly when I find this-positive proof confirming the statement of Col. Johnson, that the Prcsi- - dent disclaimed any right or desire to intefero with the private associations of yourself or your family, nnd that you knew it. I next quoted your own written admission,' confirming tlie statement of Col. Johnson and the written record of the President in the fol- awing words—“In the interview to which I was invited by tlie President some few days af terwards, [after Col. Johnson’s visit,] I frank ly expressed to biro my views on the subject,' and he disclaimed any disposition to-press such a requisition.” - • You say that "a disclaimer of an intention to press such a requisition is a wholly different thing front denial of ever having made it.” I thought not, in this case, because no such requisition had been made. Cot. Johnson says the President disclaimed to him any de sire to control your domestic affairs, or privata intercourse, and he told yau so. Tho record of what the President said to yon declares, that he claimed no right to intefero “in the dontev xtc reruitons or personal rnjercourso of any member of his Cabinet, and'in allusion lo tho conversation, you say, lie “disclaimed any dis position to press such a requisition." When no such requisition had been made by CoL- Johnson, when ho told you the President mado none; and when you do not pretend he made any, either directly or indirectly, 1 could not hut understand your declaration, that "he dis claimed any disposition to press such a requi sition," as u declaration that ho made no such requisition. But I find, in tlie character you have always sustained before tho public, othor conclusive proof, that no such - requisition was ever made of you and that you knew it. If tho President had signified to you, diroctly or indirectly, that he required you to compel your family to associate with any one, contrary to their will and yours, you would not, tia a man of honor have waited for an invitation to resign. You would have thrown your commission ih tho faco of tiie President, and said lo him, “Sir, I am no longer adviser or associate with a man who requires ino to disgraco myself and family, though ho ho the Preiident[nf tho U. States.” In your public character I had n guarantee that you would not, for the sake of your honor, salary and emoluments, ns Attorney General sink your character ns a mun by tamely list ening to, -such a requisition. No, sir; it> is impossible to believe that you could have li/9s toned to such o requisition, dismissed your self-respect; forgot your southern honor; ami humbly bowed ia seeming reverence to the man who li-id insulted yon, until politely invited to resign! It is intpossiblo that you could bury such an insult, profess to bo tiie friond or the President, make tho speech that you did re cently in Georgia, and now that you nrc out of office, disclose a foct which would seal yonr own shame. No, sir; no such proposition was over mado to you; had no cause to complain of tho Presidcm; you eulogized him in public and private, nnd you would gladly liave acted as Attorney Goneral to the cud of his Adminis tration, had younot been invited to resign. But tho circumstances under which the har- m.iny of the late Cabinet was restored, repel the inference, which you will havo it, iu your last note, that tho extract from your letter to Major Eaton, leaves open in tho ambiguousness of its expression. From thu moment that you pointed to the President any participation in the political combination to drive Major Eaton from tho Cabinet, the usual courtesies were renewed among its members withont any association between their respedivo families. Major Eaton would have been as reluctant to receivo visiters, driven into his doors by the K ower of the President, as they could possibly avo been to submit to such tyranny nud degra dation. His tmuso was thronged by those who were among thu most .respectable people of the city—by tho most honorable families visiting annually here, and by itioso from abroad, most distinguished by station. To the gayety and respectability of panics thus attended, tho oppcaranco of persons constrained by the authority of tho Executive, if it could have been exerted for such a purpose, would havo added nothing. It cuuld havo served no pur- poso to havo exacted such a requisition as that r.ow imputed, to the injury of the President: To havo forced «ho wile of tho Soeretary qT ’ War, upon that portion of society which wa* unwilling to receive her, could hare added nothieg te 1st reputation. -XUs ridiculous ia
