fn eomvlianee with an intimation given last week,
we proceed to inform our readers of the facts relating
to the rupture between President Jackson and Vice
president Calhoun, as detailed in the pamphlet recent-
l ,f published by tho latter gentleman. In doing this
we shall, as far aa poasible, fny aside all persons! or
r-nrty feeling*—we shall not accompany the relation
outh lengthy remarks or speculations of our own —
but give what appears to us n candid and unbiassed
summary of whnt ia contained in the aforesaid pamph-
let. t* e would here remark, that our narrow limits, in opposition to th
and n nress of other long articles just nt this rime, are
the o»dy causes which have prevented us from pub
lishing the correspondence entire.
The pamphlet commences with an address from Mr.
(lalhonn to the people off he l/nited States. In it he
avows it as his intention simply to f lare his conduct
in u proper light, and not to assault others, and declares
that should hia vindication haveanv politteal oriperanri

or debited it. Ilia reason for the publication of the
correspondence is because he conceive* that Ins con
duct in relation to the Seminole question hue been er
roneously represented, and his character a* a puldic

troversy, hut as one in which, from the relation lm arid

IVathinslon City, February 9. 1831.
(iMTUMuti :—Your communication of
the 3d instant, reached me yesterday. The
kind terms in which it announces your appro
bation of the principles and measures which it
has been the object of my administration of the
General Government to promote, cannot In
otherw ise tiiut cheering and acceptable to ine.
Notwithstanding the hope I had entertained
of retiring from the rare* r»f office to the more
peaceful walks of private life, after the ter
mination of the four years for which 1 was el
eeted President—a hope which many publi-
considerations, as wp|J as my own feelings had
concurred in sustaining as neither inconsistent
with a proper regard for the interests of the
republic, iror with that maxim which you have
rpjoled, that d< dicates to its will the services of
all its citizens ; I am yd rcadvand feel hound
1° relinquish it, after the declarations which I
have received from so ninriv respectable or
gans of the public sentiment, that its indul
gence would conllict with the welfare of our
ommon wintry, and disturb the harmony of
the Great Republican part v of the Union.
’ cor* therefore only add in reply to the
communication which you have been pleased
*o address to me in behalf of Democratic
Pennsylvania, that us she was the first to coll
mo from my chosen retirement, I will he
among the lost to take any steps that mav be
calculated to retard the prosperity of those in
terests which are identified with tho progress
nod durability of our common institutions; and
if my continuance in office another term be
thought essential, that my services are at the
disposal ol tho people, as they have been
heretofore.
1 pray you gentlemen, to lie asscred, that I
appreciate justly and most grntrfiillv the gene
rous confidence with which Pennsylvania re
views my past conduct, and vouches for the
character of that which it muy he inv lot here-

that he has actually at this time, on the eve

has been shewn in manuscript, in parts, for
several years past, in which the Doctor as.
sumes this postulation, that William Pitt. Karl
of (.’hnlham. was the only mnn among the
great men ofEngland, who could have fell and
written the letters of Junius. He lias taken
up the great question on entirely new ground
nnd instead of viewing (he subject as all others
have done, he has, it is thought, established
his hypothesis by a patient and laborious in
duction. We understand from those who have
seen the manuscript, that the work is not con
fined merely to that question, which has so
long exercised the powers of the first men of
the age, hut as an historical trenti«p on re

to believe that it will be no octavo of good
size, and will he out by the first of the coming

gives milk so very rich,that one pint of it gives

from the cow, without being not for cream.
The Chinese row is small, and SBys Mr.
Young, the beef is superior in fatness, and in
butter the superiority is ns 1400 lbs. to 200
lbs. from a very good country cow.” This
is such a superiority in milk and beef ns might

Minn justice to give place lo his vindication. For n r-
