What I shall submit to the considera-j In connexion with this speech, are also
lion of the public demands of me no ap d* • f,, ner matters which have been presented
ogv.—Shotdd anv think otherwise, I ten-1 t0 the country ; and about which I have
derto them Mr" Clay’s dinner speech, I b *en referred to, both bv General Jack-
delivered at Lexington, in July last, vvi'h j s °u and Mr. Buchanan. Witli reference
the references that have been made in mo,
both by General Jackson arid Mr. Buchan
an. Thus situated, it is neither needful
nor proper to remain silent: I shall there
fore speak the things that I know, from a
conviction, that the references which have
been made, render it proper for me to do
so.
First, to an adjustment on mv own ac
count with Mr. Clay ; who, in his speech
delivered at Lexington, uses towards, me
this language :
“ Before the election, an attempt was
made by an abusive letter, published, in
the Columbian Observer, at Philadelphia,
thus made, to remain silent and reserved,
amidst the general interest which prevails,
by many might he considered improper.
I snail present, therefore, mv understand-
ingof things asthev were at the time, and
as they are still retained upon my recol
lection.
Beftveen the statement of General Jack-
son and that submitted bv M*\ Buchanan,
I can perceive some differences ; but they
are principally verbal, not material-Those
which do obtain, appear to me rather as
to inference deduced from' facts, than as
the facts themselves; substantially, there
is accord. Mr. Buchanan alleges that on
exceedingly regret the necessity of being
obliged to proceed ; and yet, were it ne
cessary to maintain mvself on any, the de
mands of truth, I sliuuld .certainly ven
ture, regardless of the saying and prejudi
ces of any one. Between Mr. Buchanan’s
statement and my own, and that of Gen.
Jackson, heretofore published, I can, as
already remarked, discern no essential dif
ference. True, before I had read and
particularly examined, what had been sta
ted, I believed differences were to be
found, though that opinion no longer re
mains. I fth ere be those who desire to
urge that any such do exist, and that the
submi ted averments are in fact unlike, I
shall be free and cheerful to concede.

• and to deter me in file exercise of my du-
Ty.”
The language employed in this sentence
is arranged with so great cure &. caution,
as to make it susceptible 'fdoubtfu! in'en-
tion. The meaning which the speaker
intended should attach, and which, wi ll
9 readers out of ten, «iil obtain, is, that
the Columbian Observer was sustained by
Mr. Senator Eaton, the colleague, the
friend and the biographer of Genera! Jack
son, to assail his (Mr. Clay’s motives, and
.10 deter him in the exercise of Ins duty.
Vith this construction, f take leave to
say, it is misrepresentation—it is untrue.
This paper was assisted though not sus
tained by me for any purpose ; and far
loss with a view to assail motives, or -to
deter anv one in the exercise of Ins duty.
The return made of me by the Editors
of the Columbian Observer, its one of
their creditors, has been a fruitful theme
of exulting remark to Mr. Clay’s editors
and friends. I little expected t« see him
at so small business ; and still less that he
would have hazarded au s'snrinui before
the public, wneu he was wanting in proof
to support that assertion. A single paper,
to lie sure, at Philadelphia, the Democra
tic. Dress, had asserted it : But Mr. Clay
should have recollected, that as he was de
crying the force of newspaper testimony,
as authority applicable to his own case,
delicacy, and a regard for consistency,
Should have restrained his willingness to
insist on it, its a rule conclusive Awards
others. L ; ke himself, though, I can now
express my satisfaction at having tire mat
ter presented in some tangible form, and
by “a responsible accuser;’' and, that he
may he spared all further disquietude on
the subject, he shall be offered the history
of the transaction precise and accurate as
it took place, with-leave to make of it
hereafter whatever usp he can.
To the editors of that paper; and at
their request, I did lend a sum of money:
at that time, before, nor after, was, their
an agreement, or understanding, ex u essed
or otherwise, as to anv political course
which they should pursue. More than a
year preceding this circumstance and be
fore I ever knew Messrs. Simpson and
Conrad, the editors, had that pnpei been
warmly and z alouslv in the cause of Gen
Jackson. It was mv own money, not
the public’s; and \ have vet to learn,
wherein there is either culnabilitv or crim
inality in lending money to the respecta
ble editor of a newspaper, greater titan to
• hat he did; General Jackson states his o-
pinion at the time was, that Mr. Buchanan
had come from Mr. Clay or some ot his
friends ; but this is given merely as a mat
ter of impression—nothing more. Bv the
shewing of Mr. Isacks and Mr, Buchanan,
it now appears, that Mr. Markley was
the negotiator. A difference as to the date
—the period of time at which the conver
sation took place, mav exist ; for Mr. Bu
chanan places it on the 30th of December
Tt may he however, that he intends this
as the period of his discourse with Mr.
Markley, If it he in reference to his in
terview with General Jackson, then, a-
greeahlv to my recollection, if is a mis
take. I cannot precisely, and to a day,
declare »he time when Mr. Buchanan came
to see and to converse with me ; but I do
recollect it to have been during that week,
oil Saturday of which the reported meet
ing of Mr. Clav and his friends took rtlace,
and when the determination was taken to
support Mr. Adams. I feel quite satisfi
ed. that the meeting to which I allude was
on Saturday the 22nd of January. Ear
ly in that week, (Tuesday or Wednesday
evening,) M<. Be uiatiau visited me. I;
was ontbe pavement, and bn front of mv
own-residence, where we conversed toge
ther. A statement of our conversation,
concisely'drawn, wa« given to General
Green editor of the United states’ Tele
graph, at his req iesqrn August 1326—
more than a vear ago—it is as follows;
“ Tn January, 1325, a few days before
it had been known that Mr. Clav and his
friends had declared in favor of Mr. \d-
arns, I was called upon by Mr. Buchanan
of Pennsylvania. He said it was nre tty
well understood, that overtures were ma
king by the friends of Adams, on : he sub
ject of cabinet appointment ; that Jack-
son should fight them with their own
weapons. He said, the opinion was that
Jackson would retain Adams, and that it
was doing him injury.—That thp General
should state whom he would make Secre
tary of State, and desired that J would
name it to him. My reply was, that I
was sntisfie Gen. Jackson would sav no
thing on the subject. Mr. Buchanan then
remarked; “Well, if he will merely say,
he will not retain Mr. Adams, that will
answer.” I replied I was satisfied, Gen
Jackson would neither sav who should or
who should not he Secretary ofSta'e—hut
that lie (Mr. B.) knew him well, and
might talk with him as well as I could.—
Mr. Buchanan then said that on thp next
day, before the General went to the house
lie would call. He did so, as I afterwards

which might be discrepant with my own. place. Those who attended it, being
under tlie head of intentional error, or as- participants what was done, have never
cribe it to any other circumstance than vet declared the part culars.—I have,
though, tn mv possession a communica
tion fron a gentleman formerly of Congress
(not from this state j and heretofore the
friend of Mr. Clay, He gives the reason
why he is no longer that friend. To a
loUer which was lately written to him by
me, this is his reply.
“ The bargain ofl3' , 5, between Mes
srs. Clams and Clav. I remember well
inaccuracy of recollection.
I might here rest mv remarks, and for
bear to say more on the subject, hut being
in possession of some facts, which mav
not be considered immaterial—site ten
dency of which may he, to exhibit mat
ters more fully to public consideration, I
shall nor c nclude this presen ation, with
out them also. I have already said, tint
a meet ing was held np :he 22ud of Janua
ry ; t revious to which time, the opinions
of Mr. Clav and his friends were hut little
known—conjecture alone pointed out wh.ti
probably t'ne ; r course would he. On the
succeeding Monday,-the opinion prevail
ed, that they had taken their ground; and
in a few days afterwards, Mr. Clay’s mii-
itary-Chieftain lettet, as it has been styled
was written to Judge Brooke, of Vir
ginia, of whom he speaks as a parti
cular friend. In that letter, he, mentions
his difficult, “highly critical” situation—
the interrogation to his conscience, and
the course he had resolved to pursue.—
Thus, to a particular friend, on the 2Stli
of January, and not earlier was a declara
tion made of the course Iip had concluded
to take. Why the necessity of a silence
so long, and so rigidlv preserved !
This Satnrdav evening meeting and
the course which had been resolve ! up
on, formed generally on m-mday the
subject of conversation. The Senate
having adjourned, General Jackson and
mvself were passing from the Capitol, be
ing vei within the enclosure, and near to
a fi : ght of srpps leading to the avenue,
when Mr. Clay, coming diagonally on
our route, from the H >use of representa
tives, oassetl very near, and without
speaking. He was proceeding down tb"

I shall not use his name nor attempt to I
quote his remarks, although the injunction
of secrecy has been long since removed.—':
I well remember though, that the Senator, ■
and what ho had done, and what said, was j
spoken of publicly ; and I well remember j
too, that no reply to him, was made oral- j
tempted, or committee of inquiry asked!
for. After he had taken his seat, the j
nomination was voted on, and carried, and
file appointment confirmed. I know not
what friend or member, afforded Mr.Clay
the information tha his nomination was
not objected to in the Senate ; but I do

The salutation was returned and Mr. Clay

previously quite the reverse ; and well | yet so modes' ; so retiring, and evidently
knowing, from our near proximity at pas- 1 concealing its real intention. Gentlemen
Sing, that ii was altogether improbable he J you are my friends, and as such we have
ed by.his preference or judgement. The
character of those editors is sufficient to
turn aside the imputations of opinions thus
controlled—while a recollection that for
eighteen months or more they had labor
ed in support of Andrew Jackson, altogeth
er forbids it.
But, again ; in adverting to this trans
that Mr. Buchanan was acting on tbe
ground of anxious solicitude for the suc
cess of Genpral Jackson, and from a de
sire that nothing of stratagem and man
agement should interpose to. prevent the
election of one, for whom he felt more
than common interest. I considered in
his zeal, lie felt it to right to defend
the citadel against unlooked Tor assaults,
action—to my mind a very innocent and j
unoffending one—why was it necessary \ and believed, consequently that the ene-
for Mr. Clay to throw around me, for de- j my should he met with tbeir own weapons,
scription’s "sake, so many far fetched and ! He may have intended to present this as
high sounding expletives? Mr. Eaton, the idea and opinion of others, not
of the Senate—(there being in that body j his own. Such, indeed may have been
none other bearing a same, or even a si-
miliar name.) would as it appears to me,
be altogether sufficient, if description of
person was alone the end qnd object to
be attained ; but this was not the object
and hence the lofty addenda, “the col
league—tiie friend and the biographer of
Gen. Jackson.”—-.What,then, was it?—
An attempt at deception—a matter of spe
cial pleading ; bv which it was expected,
a conclusion in the public mind would be
arrived at, that Gen. Jackson was the
shelter of this paper, intended and sustain
ed for the avowed purpose to assail Mr.
Clay's motives, and to deter him in the ex
ercise of his duty. T o this obviously de-
s gnated intendment, I apply a positive
denial of its truth. Gen. Jackson was in
Tennessee, and knew no more of the loan
made to those gentlemen, than Mr. Clav
did ; nor did he know of it, until during
last winter, when—on the supposition, I
suppose, that it might be used as'a good set
the case, though I cannot say 1 so under
stood him at the time.
I take occasion to repeat, that the conr
versation, as here given, at the request of
the editor of the United States’ Tele
graph, was afforded him in August, 1826,
while he was on a visit to Tennessee. I
mention this fact, because the statement
being in his possession, he will be enabled
to say, if the one he has, and that which is
here submitted, be not the same. By this
circumstance, thus fortunately existing, I
may find safety from some of those char
ges which a kindlv editor has already ta
ken occasion to surmise and insinuate.—^
The ungenerous and illiberal effort is
madetQ excite prejudice : and to forestal
the public, and to awaken suspicions, thro’
the allegation, that an attempt would be
made “to discredit Mr. Buchanan, by ar
raying Major Eaton and others against
him,” before the public. On so idle an
errand,, and so hopeless an effort I should
should not have observed ns, I looked to
this coyness on hrs part, as a circumstance
corroborative of wha' had been the reports
of the day—a determination taken to sup
port Mr. Adams.
Previously 10 the annunciation of this
meeting ou Sunday, I had not distrusted
the result of the ejection. As regarded
the course Kentucky would take even con-
ceeding the force of Mr. Clay’s influence,
I felt there was security in these consid
erations: That so far from there being
any tiling of good, there had been an uu-
lrienrlly understanding very lately subsist
ing beiween Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay :
That Mr. Adams was not the choice of
Ken lucky—had not been thought of or
voted for there and of till the persons pre
sented to the public, would probably have
received the most inconsiderable suffrage
in that state That Mr. Crittenden, who
stood at the head of the electoral list for
Mr. Clay, and whose opinions of the pref
erence and choice of Kentucky, I hence
inferred, might have weight, had written
to a friend of mine at Washington, that
Kentucky preferred Jackson, and wished
him to succeed against Adams. But be
side all this, the Legislature of the state
had sent Forth their instruction, (or request)
on this subject, declaring what was to be
considered the sense of the people ; and I,
will remembering the warm and ancient
contest between Mr. Clay and Mr Pope,
on the subject of a disregard of instruction
inet. Let me not ask you to do your du
ty, or sacrifice yourselves for me ; I ask
nothing at your hands;—but ofonp thing
you may rest assurred.—If Jackson is e-
lected I shall be prostrated ; but if Mr.
Adams shall be chosen, “ he felt satisfied
it would not he so.” In the one case, there
was danger to his prospects, in the other
there would be none : nor was tkis given
as aft opinion formed, or belief entertain
ed—it is ot stronger import—he was sat
isfied there would be none. The speech
had its effect, the-long agony was over,
and the determination to move together.
Thus was the whole machinery ready to
operate, provided defection could be kept
from its parts. And until this was effect
ed, Mr. Clay’s course must' be a matter of
conjecture. If judgement and sound de
liberation, prompted him to adopt the
preference he did, certainly it does not
follow, that that duty demanded of him,
this grave and formal excercise of his in
fluence, whereby to contravert the opin
ions and votes of others. Resting on this
ground of decision merely, apart from any
other, and future consideration, such ac
tive real was forbidden by the situation in
which lie himself had very lately stood,
and more espicially from the personal re
lation which he, and Mr. Adams had re
cently occupied towards each other.
The course adopted by Mr. Cla} r , in
■ieference to this election, and the circum
stances attending it at the time, were then
had noi supposed that the former would ! as now the subject of free and censurable
ventare to place at nought his previous
open avowals on this important point.—
These were the grounds of my opinions,
and of toy conclusions, and they were re
moved, only when I understood that this
meeting had been held, and the vote of
Kentucky determised upon.
There were other considerations of in
ference and of argument. The state of
New York was thought to be dependent
ior the course she would pursue, on the
vote of a single individual. Thus situated
it could not be known to absolute certain
ty, though conjeclually it was, what finally
her course would be. Maryland, it was
believed, would at least on the first ballot
be on the side of Mr. Adams. These
two, with the six New-England states,
qreteall, which with any thing, of certarn-
remark. TJie final consummation thdugh,
did not for a time take place. Many, in
credulous to mere assertion, and anxious
to maintain .their former favorable opin
ion, were willing and disposed, to defer all
credence until after the Inauguration, and
when it should with certainty be ascer
tained, whether Mr. Clay would be ap
pointed to the first situation in the Ca
binet. The nomination came! It
was transmitted to the Senate,—a vote
was taken; and contrary to what be
fore, I believe, had ever happened, in
reference to a Cabinet appointment, a
large number of the body (one-third) were
found in opposition to it.—Besides those,
there were others, unfriendly to the con
firmation, but who yielded their assent on
the ground, that the President was amen-
