Although it is rare that an individual of hum ble pretentions can attempt to arrest, public ntte'h tion, without Stealing to arrogate to himself tih tlue importance, yet the writer of lhis vimlfcutioh is placed by the publication of the recent cor.res- 1 pondence between the President and Vice Presi dent of the United States, in such a sii tuition as to Compel him to hazard that imputation, rather than io submit hi. sileuce to the gplyp charges Vhlo.lt, ] ir not directly made, are bv inference insinuated against him. Mr. Calhoun, in his address and letters, states that there was a “movement against him/’ ‘ the origin ot which went back beyond the date of this correspondence,-” which had for its .object his political, destruction.” He refers to Mr, { Craivford’s letter of December,.'HJ2?, rs ‘>e com mencement “of that chain of artful 0; erafrons that ha*,’.’&,c. He speaks of this movemtsd as “a political matKEuc. e” designed to inn kb the President ‘fin instrumentand the Pice Presi dent il thr victim. ‘ Me -refers to “a kasc political inlrgue,” and then adds-— '*Sevtsal indications forwariicd lung since that n blow was matiiatc-d a gainst me; l wiil not tn\y from the quarter from which this combs; but in relation lo L/ih subject, more than two years since Iliad a correspond ence with the District Attorney for the Southern District of New .Yorlt, oil the subject of the pro ceedings of the cabinet on the Seminole was. which, though it dkl not particular atten tion at the time, has river, in conuedlon uiUi o-, liter cireumuhinces, screed to dirccl my tyc Lv ivhul was going oh? t J have tlipa brought to view, in a ilistiiict forui, Audi parts of these ielteis and address as eiritHia insinuations or charges of political tn.iif t;vrcß ; plots, base-iutt ig tici-. and t;s- indicate direetTy or vemplviy their'* supposed tonhivtiis or histr-ti incurs, in order tliat 1 tuny loc-t ufl tia4.cai, by just duplication, or the most forced const j action, inter to me, by declaring most csp’rcirly that 1 neither know of, tior u<|l byltevo, in the. exist ence of any such practices, uor have I, if they did exist, pavticipaitd in them ia any respect w lir.tp ver. ‘ . ’ Mr. Cnlhour. considers hluisclf deprived tiflm important information by the l>UuihsisV Mi.

(| may here be per ■-1 mined to say, that I never saw or. Heard of the letter written by Mr Crawford io Mr. Gulch, un til u was published : and that 1 hud not the slight est know lege of the course Mr. Calhoun had considered :* his duty to pursue in the cabinet on the occasion referred to: ou the contrary, the impression 1 had received ftom those conversa tions was ; (hat Air.

Monroe’s cabinet, the propriety of ai *esting General Jackson, for any tiling done by luni during tbe Seminole war, had been gat any ihue discussed?” To which he replied—“ Never such a measure tva,s not thought of, much less discussed. The only point before the cabinet was the answer th*d v.uj given lo the Spanish government.” Our conversation was extended, and on his pm t, cinbuiced much that 1 have never felt tny bclfut liberty to disclose.
