Mr. B uciiaiian, Mr. Isacs and Major Eaton have thought proper to bring my fcame before the public, as that of a per son implicated, or in some way concerned in an attempt to induce General Jackson to give a certain pledge, or pledges, as to it certa n appointment it would be hisduty to make in the event of his election as -President of the United States. One consequence of the publications of .hese gentlemen has been that they have given rise to a torrent of abuse and calumny, which has been directed against me. It is not however for the purpose of averting this pointed stream, or of noticing those | who have cast into it then mite 01 slander i tion turned, principally, on the then pen ding Presidential election. Mr. B. com menced by stating that he felt great soli citude for the election of Gen. Jackson & that his friends should use every honora ble means to promote it: to which I repli ed that I heartiiy united with him in opin ion. Mr. Buchanan adverted to the ru- mouis which were afloat, that the friend of Mr. Adams were holding o it the idea that in c.rse lie should be elected Mr. Clay would probably be offered the situation of Secretary of State,and that in case Gen. Jac hsoil was elected he would appoint or continue Mr. Adams, Secretary of State. I told Mr. Buchanan I thought sjcIi a re port was calculated to do the General great deal of injury, and if it were not well founded it ought to be contradicted, and mentioned further that there was a great plausibility iu such reports, and their re ceiving credit particularly that which re presented General Jackson as having de termined if he should be elected that he would continue Mr. Adams, Sectctary of State, inasmuch as Mr. Adams had been one of his ablest defenders and advocates m his report susiaining General Jackson against the charges which were preferred against him for his conduct in relation to the Seminole war. Mr. Buchanan stated that he had writ- received a letter from a mutual Pennsylvania, on the conversation which he has recently thoff j such a commission, or any thing eve'n re- tliat I set down. My object is of a high- j ten to, Or nature ; a desire to do myself justice friend of ours in and, so far as rny best recollection and j subject of the Piesidential election, and judgment, shall permit, to spread the truth i cabinet appointments, and that he had de- aud the whole truth before my fellow-citi- ; termined to cal! upon the General him- pens. 1 do not hope by any thing I can i self, or to get Major Eaton, to mention to say, however satisfactory and conclusive,! him the reports that were in circulation, himself called upon to give as having ta ken place between us. I cannot avoid thinking it somewhat singular that Mr. B. should have been so reserved towards me, particularly as Duff Green had been furnished with a state ment in October, 1826, of what had passed between General Jackson and himself, and that a statement had also been furnish ed to him by Major Eaton in August, 1826, as to the purport of the conversation be tween himsoif and Mr. Buchanan. That' these movements should have taken place, <fc that there should have been no concert improperly to drag me into this business, and yet that under all these circumstances Mr. B. should have been silent towards me, and that he should think proper to in troduce to tho public a detailed conversa tion in which he makes me say all, and himself little or nothing—a conversation totally unnecessary for the purpose of sus taining an individual acting, as he protests he always acted, on his Own authority— motedly approachig to it. Had any such agency by any one, been tendered, I should havo indignantly rejected it. I will go further and state that never did I in the course of any conversation with Mr. Clay hear him say, or express a desire, that in the event of the election of Gen. Jackson, Mr. Adams, or Mr. Crawford, that he should wish to be Secretary of State or hold any station in the cabinet. Further I never have to any one, at any time or on any occasion represented my self, or wished it to be understood, that I was authorised to receive, or to make overtures on the part of Mr. Clay, or his friends. I think proper to make this geu- eral and unqualified declaration that ihere may not be left a loop on which to hang a doubt oo.the subject. I did riot knoto un til ten days after the election of Mr. Ad ams, that Mr. Clay had been offered the appointment of Secretary of state ; and it is a w ell known fact that after he had the offer he consulted many of his friends does to me, and probably will to the pub- j whether he should, or should not, accept lie, seem somewhat unaccountable. It gives ; it. He told me iu a conversation he did to uropitutu any of my enemies, personal or political; nor shall I, for that or any q,lher, purpose, turn from a full and fair examination of such parts of the letters of the gentlemen who have imposed upon me this unpleasant duty. As relates to my self, I could have wished to have been spar ed this appeal, but it is no longer u matter of choice. I might have been persuaded to permit the errors aad inaccuracies of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Isaacs, arising from a want of recollection, ta pass unnoticed; and, from a desire to be at peace I might even have been content to overlook their unkiudness ; but, when Major Eaton, on their shewing, presumes to call me “the negotiator,” in what he represents to bo a corrupt transaction, I am imperatively bound to speak, and 1 will speak ilia 1 which I do know to be true. Lit the blame and condemnation, fall where it ought ; where it is merited, hut not on me. If these were not .motives sufficiently poweiful, there is anoiher which would determine me. An effort is making by the use, and the abuse, of my name, to wound the characters of some of our ablest and most exalted citizens, and by accusa tions which I believe to be unfounded and in which I am certain I bore no part, to sink them in public estimation ; to cast them down from the heights which they have honourably attained and in their pla ces to put those whom I regaid as having adopted principles and avowing a deter mination to pursue a course of* policy, which I have no doubt would greatly af fect the prosperity and happiness of the State of Pennsylvania and of the whole Union. That I was orig nallv friendly to the election of General Jackson to the Presi dency I do not deny. My feelings of gratitude towards him for his-military ser vices to his country remain, and ever shall remain,.unchanged. I voted for him in the Democratic Caucus of 1S24. As a Representative of Pennsylvania, I subse quently not only gave him my vote, but Used my best exertions, by every fair and honorable means, to promote his electi n to the Presidential Chair. The umied exertions of his friends having failed *o ef fect his election, I was i ot one of those phofeltita duty, or thought it proper, immediately to unfurl the standard of op position without knowing the principles and the policy of the men >\ho were to be called to assist in administering the Government of the Uuiou : because I had been defeated, by a constitutional majority ofihe Slates, in my desire to have Gene ral Jackson elected, it did not seem to me that I was called upon to resist, embarrass and overthrow' the new Administration whether it should be right or wrong. I thought it my duty as a representative of the people, and as a citizen, patiently to wait and see what would be the general character of Mr. Adams’ Administration and what would bo the complexion of his cabinet. When 1 ascertained that he had taken to lus aid such able and experien ced advisers is Mr. Clay, Mr. Rush, Mr. Southard, and Mi. Barbour, men identifi ed with the republican institutions of out country, iu peace and in wai ; men who had enjoyed the confidence of the repub lican Admmisira'ious of Mr. Jefferson, idr. Madison and Mr. Monroe ; men who h id long acted and were incorporated with, the great democratic family of the Union, I did not feel myself at Liberty to doubt what would be the character and policy of Mr. Adams’ Administration. I consider ed that in these appointments a pledge and obtain, if he could, a contradiction of them. Mr. B. also asked if I had seen •Mr. Clay, and whether I had Itfid any conversation with him touching the Presi dential election. I teplied that I had seen him in the House, but had had no con versation with him on that subject, but said I was anxious to get an opportunity to have a conversation with him, as I felt a great anxiety that he should vote with Pennsylvania. Mr. Buchanan replied that no one felt more anxious, for various rea sons, than he did himself; that it was im portant, not only as it regarded the suc cess ot General Jackson’s election that Mr. Clay should go with Pennsylvania, hut on account of his ulterior political prospects: declaring that he (Mr. B.) hoped one day to see Mr. Clay President of the United States, and that was another reason whv he should like to see him Sec retary of State, in case General Jackson w is elected ; and that if he was certain that Mr. Clay’s views were favorable to General Jackson’s election he would take an opportunity of talking to th’e General on the subject, or get Major Eaton to do so ; that he thought by doing so he would confer a particular benefit on his counfry, and that he could see nothing wrong iu it. Mr. Buchanan urged me to to use no de- lav in seeing Mr. Clay. I told him I would, ami accordingly called on Mr. Clay at his boarding house, I think the evening after this conversation, but he was not at his lodgings. I called to see him again, but he had some of his fiends with l*m, and I had no opportunity of conversing with him, nor had I ever any conversation with hipi until the evening of' the 10th or 11th January, prior to my leaving Washington for Pennsylvania, to at*end the Courts in Montgomery countv. The conversa'ion I then had with him riie pain to think of theso things, especially as having emanated from a person to whom I feel obligations of friendship for acts of kindness, and in whose friendship I repos ed the most unlimited cofiJence. The succeeding morning after the con versation with Mr. Buchanan, I met with Mr. Isacks, of Tenn., in the Hall of the House of Representatives. My recollec tion does not enable me to state whether it was at his seat, or in the lobby, or on the sofa, at the right hand as you go into the door. I may here be permitted to remark, that Mr. Isacks being a native of Montgo mery county, Pa., the district I represent ed in Congress, he early sought mv ac quaintance in the session of 1823 and 1824, and had many conversations with me of a private character, in relation to himself, and in which I took an interest, and to the best of my ability and opportu nities fiiiihfully served him. These con versations necessarily produced an intima cy and friendship which frequently bro’t us together, and even into the habit of free, friendly and unreserved conversa tion. The conversation which lie repre sents to have taken place between us, is incorrectly reported : he assuredly misap prehended or much misrepresents me.— From the general tenor of his statement, this however does not appear singular. I lie seems, from his narrative, to have paid more regard to our relative positions, at the several meetings, to which he has re ference, than to even the substance of what passed between us, relying upon the recollection of Mr. Buchanan as to dates. That there was a conversation heiween Mr. Isacks and myself, on the subject of the Presidential election, tire morning af ter Mr. Buchanan had called to see me, I perfectly well remember, and I have no doubt that in the course of that conversa tion we agree that General Jackson’s prospects of an election were fair; in fact we both expressed ourselves anxious for his success. I distinctly recollect Mr. Isacks remarking that much would depend on tire course M\ Clay’s friends would take, and expressing his belief that they would act with us. I replied that I sin cerely hoped they would go with Pennsyl vania, and that in the event of General Jackson’s election, I felt confident that the honour to hold with tne on the subject, that the acceptance of it would be to him not only a sacrifice of domestic happiness, but a serious pecuniary loss.-— I know also, that nor only his immediate personal and political friends, but many of those who voted for other candidates, were desirous that he should accept the station, and urged that his country had claims upon him paramount to all other Considerations, and would never see him suffer from devotion to her best inter ests. I am free to acknowledge that at the that he always acted, aud represented himself as acting, on his own personal re sponsibility and was solely riioved by a zealous and anxious desire to manifest his friendship for General Jackson, by assist- ing to elevate him to the Presidential chair. After such a declaration nothing but infatuation, and a determination, so far as in him lay, to sustain General Jack- son could have tempted Major Eaton so far to have forgotton what was due to his own character, as to hazard an asset tion in support of which there was not a tittle of evidence. All that appears, from the shewing of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Isacl?*;, so far as I was concerned, is, that, in com mon with these gentlemen, I expressed myself exceedingly anxious for the elec tion of General Jackson, and, on my own personal responsibility, said, and did, all I could to promote it. I was absent front the seat of Govern ment on Saturday, the 2^d of January, the time at which Major Eaton says it was re ported a meeting of Mr. Clay and his fiiends took place ;—and, at the time of the conversation which Mr. Buchanan had with Major Eaton I had left Washington and was absent for more than two weeks. It I had been acting as the authorsed friend, ox agent, of Mr. Clay, it would Still later from L, rCTf . The packet ship * Bennet, arrived at New-York f erpool on the 30th ulf. having" 01 the 2d.

Frequent intercourse would hnve been absolutely necessary, to communicate what was said and done, and contemplated to be done. If Major Eaton be credited he would wholly disprove the statement of Mr. Bu chanan who avers that he acted solely on his own authority in the conversation time of tho conversation between Mr. j held between hina'and General Jackson, Buchanan and myself, my impression was j and that it was not me, but his friend in that Gelt.

It was a conversation of rather a general and promiscuous character, iu d ces to get ibe better of my judgment and patriotism, but that 1 would judge the Ad ministration by its measures. If it con tinued to support and sustain those that sustain a system whiwh promotes national piospeiity, American manufactures, Inter na) improvements and commerce ; and to cherish peace and administer government ' v Ap due regard to economy, it should receive my cordial sappoit. The v end. of December 1S24, I 1 bear ve, but cannot with absolute certainty j the two'last sessions of Congress, during 30^ m y Mr. : which period we had many conversations vv as of a very general character ; no men- nothing would be more gratifying to Penn- tion was made of cabinet appointments, j svlvania than to see Mr. Clay ^appointed and I did not ascertain which of the can- j Secretary of State. Mr. Isacks replied deflates Mr. Clay would tffipporf. I have j that he was his second choice for Presi- no recollection of any thing being said in i dent ; that he would be his first choice, if General Jackson was elected, to be ap pointed Secretary of State, and that he had frequently expressed himself to that effect. I have no recolleAion of having said to Mr. Isricks that I wished to see Mr. Ea f on, nor did I, with more than ordinary interest and earnes riess, insist that General Jackson, if elected, ought to appoint Mr. Clay. It must appear that before l or any one could kave used the stronge language im puted to me, that it was indispensibly that it should be distinctly understood that Mr. Isacks was authorised, by General Jack- son, to receive propositions to promote his election. Of this I had no evidence, nor entertained any opinion, nor did I at any lime, or to any one, use the strong language imputed to me by Mr. Isacs.k I I well remember, that, at that time we both believed and expressed our belief, that if General Jackson was elected, with out the aid of Mr. Clay and his friends, that he would be appointed Secretary of State. Further, Mr. Isacks declared his belief in which I concurred, that a targe portion of the western delegation, from the unreserved conversation we had had on the subject, wished Mr. Clay to be Secretary of State, in which desire they were joined by a large portion of the del egation from oilier states friendly to Gen eral Jackson’s election. It is indeed well known fact, that amongst the friends of all the candidates there was much spec ulation on the subject, much was said un reservedly and with much zeal and good humour on the subject of cabinet appoint ments, that if this, or that, candidate suc ceeded to the Presidency, the general voice was raised in favour of, and the general eye always fixed upon the dis tinguished statesman and inflexible repub lican Henry Clay,as th8 first officer of the government; and I now sincerely be lieve that which ever of the candidates had been elected, he would have had the offer of the most prominent situation in the cabinet ; that which he now holds un der Mr. Adams. It has repeatedly been slated that I was the agent or as Major Eaton is pleased to say the * negociator’ of Mr. Clay, auriio- rised to make propositions or to ask a pledge of a conditional character, for the vote of Mr. Clay and his friends. I do now solemnly and positively declare that the charge and insinuation are void of truth. I never did, either directly or in directly, receive trom Mr. Clay or his friends, an intimation which could be con struct even by pcjitical rancour, into •he conversation with Mr. Buchanan a- bouf the friends of Mr. Clav moving in concert at the election ; I however dis tinctly recollect that we both expressed an anxious hope that the West would not separate from Pennsylvania.—I have no recollection whatever of having urged Mr. B. to see Gen. Jackson, although I con curred in the propriety of his suggestion that h.e should call tosee him ; nor have-1 (lie faintest rec.olloc .on of any thing be ing saida bout fight?rg Mr. Adams’ friends with tliei'' own weapon.-. If any such ex pressions were used. I am very certain it was not by me. From the recollection I have of the conversation to which Mr. Buchanan has reference, ir. his letter to the public, of the 8th of August last, mv impressions are that the object of his visit that evening was to urge the propriety of mv seeing Mr. Clay, and to give him mv views as to the importance of his identify ing himself with Pennsylvania in support of General Jackson. I entertained no doubt that Mr. Buchanan was honestly determined that no exertions on his part should be wanting, and that he felt confi dent he could speak with certainty as to the great mass of Gen. Jackson’s friends, that, in case of the election of Gen. Jack- son, they would prpss upon iiirp the ap- ooinfnient of Mr. Clay as Secretary of State, Mr. Buchanan concurred with me in opinion that Pennsylvania would prefer Mr. Clay’s appointment to that of any other person as Secretary of State, and from the obligations the General was un wind] we both participated. It is upwards of two years since that conversation took place, and considering it of a private and confidential character, I made no minute ol it, nor did I ever expect it woo'd have been given to the public. It is somewhat remarkable that tw years & more should have elapsed* Mr. Buchanan and myself boarding together a: the same h use during Buchanan eyer adveri to tj}e of State common with others, have mentioned mv opinion to my political friends. These impressions were founded on the belief (hat the western interests would unite in Gen. Jackson’s election, and that with the aid of one or two states in favour of Mr. Crawford, ho would be elected. I mention those floating opinions of the day to show that I have no reserves, and that all I said or did, I am quite willing should be known. I left Washington for Pennsylvania on the morning of the lltli pr 12th of Jan uary, 1825, anrl did not return until Tues day the 30ih of the same month, the day after Mr. Clay’s card had appeared in the National Intelligencer. This absence a; this ci itical juncture, is of itself sufficien' to repel the idea that I took any peculiar interest as to the arrangements depended on who might or might not be elected presi dent. I recollect a conversation with a par ticular friend, who traveled with me in the stage, on my return to Pensylvania. To him, in the course of that conversation, I expressed my regret <at not having had an opportunity of a free any general conver sation Guth Mr. Clay on the subject of the presidential election, and said that I had some idea of writing to him as soon as I arrived at Noristown. We both express ed an axiety that Mr. Clay should vote with Pennsylvania. Exception has been taken by my of- feringthe resolution of thanks i#hen Mr. Clay was about retiring from the Speaker’s chair iu 1$25. i A resolution it had been customary at the end of a congress, to of fer, and the house to adopt, as it did on this occasion, almost with perfect unanim ity. It was my own voluntary act. I had no consultation with any one nor the slightest reference to his course on the pre sidential election ; I offered the resolution because I thought he eminen'ly deserved it. If he, as speaker, did not richly earn a vote of thanks, who shall presume to! think he has pretensions to such an. hon-l our 1 The thanks of the house over which he presided, Tor a faithful, firm and impartial discharge of the duties of the station was hardly earned and willingly awarded. I thought it his due even though he had differed from Pennsylvania in the choice of a President, she owed him much for his indefatigable exertion in favor of her policy and best interests. Not only did these considerations, but others promp ted me to offer the resolution of thanks. Mr. Clay thought, had been unjustly and undeservedly assailed for an honest defer ence of opinion : and it was painful to see a man who had raised himself by his owd talents and exertions to be one ofihe most distinguished statesmen and orators of the age ; one who in war and in peace had never abandoned his own country’, but al ways stood fi mly by her, defending by the powers of his gigantic mind and pow erful eloquence her rights, and boldly pro claiming her true policy; that such a man should Ire unthanked when about to retire from the speaker’s chair of a body of which I had the honour to be a member did riot comport with my feelings or sense of right and wrong ; I should indeed have considered such a neglect a gross dire liction of duty. I feel somewhat at a loss for terms, suf ficiently measured, in which to speak of the presumptuous and unwarranted con clusion at which Major Eaton has arrived, and the bold and unceremonious epithet which it has been his pleasure to apply to me. The conversations, reported as they are, by Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Isacks and laboriously and carefully directed’ against me, furnish no evidence, even of a remote or circumstantial character, to warrant the declaration that I was a’ne- gogociator ; and I feel assured that nothing but the devoted zeal of Major Eaton, to the cause of General Jackson, could have tempted him, in the face of an intelligent people, to use the language he has used. Mr. Buchanan indignantly set aHUe the imputation, attempted to be cast upon him by General Jackson, of having made a proposition or propositions, to him, in the name of Mr. Clay, or Mr. Clay’s friends, and dedans, in express terms, Jackson on the Presidential Election was on the 2d ofJanuarv, according to Major Eaton’s shewing ; Mr. Buchanan however says he did not cal! on him, before his conversation with the General at a certain day about the 18th or 19th of January. ed the pecuniary remuneration to i they were entitled on reaching 88.$"!I this they found impossible to effete. iJ voyagers are all in goad health. ' A report from Berlin, mentions future the Prussian Ambassador at Cci' I i • tantino pI p is to join in all discussion* wit), 1 h :.tr!lST e . rn ! •>» Ambassadors,* of*. .h,ee rowers. The re appears some strange discrepan cy in parts of the statements of Mr. Bu chanan, Mr. Isacks and Major Eaton, which are prefectly irreconcilable with the letter of General Jackson. Mr. Isarks thinks that his conversation with Mr. Bu chanan may have been one or two weeks later than Mr. Buchanan states it to have been ; but he seems quite willing to give tip his own recollection for accommoda tion s sake, and to take the time stated bv Mr. Buchanan, and agrees that it shall be fixed on the 30th of December. I cannot pretend to say when Mr. Bu chanan called on General Jackson, as he never communicated to me—whom Major Eaton represents as “ the negociator,” auv conversation between him and Ge- neral Jackson. I do not recollect that Mr. Buchanan and myself had anv con versation, from the 30tb of December, until after my return to Washington, on the 30th of January, from Norristown, that is for the whole month, almost imme diately preceding tho election ; during the greater part of which time, I was more than a hundred miles from the scene of action, the seat of government. To undertake to detail the numerous conversations held, pending the presiden tial election by the friends ofall the can didates in which I was a party, or which I heard, is not my purpose. Indeed no consideration would tempt me to divulge private conversation, especially if the ob ject was to injure a friend, or even a po litical enemy, It may, however, be pro per to state that in none of the conversa tions, ot which I have anv knowledge was there any thing said which had the slightest tendency to fix or trace either corruption or bargain to Mr. Adams, to General Jackson, to Mr. Crawford, or to Mr. Clay. All that I was able to disco ver, among the friends of the respective candidates, was a fair and honourable anx iety and zeal to promote the election of their favourite candidate, I close this communication, which has been extorted from me, in vindication of my sell, and in justice to those who, through me, have been assailed, and charged with having participated in a cor rupt transaction. It has been to me a most unpleasant duty, one which I sin- oerely wish I could have been spared, but I thought I owed it to myself, my friends, and my countiy. I have endeavoured to avoid offensive expressions, and personal remai ka, save ouly those which I have thought indispensable to my own justifica tion, and as bearing directly on the state ment of the gentlemen, whose over zeal have induced them to break into the sanc tuary of private friendship, for political purposes.
