reasons of my distinct recollection of the
circumstance. Mr. Monroe before lie left
Washington, had particularly enjoined upon
m« not to leave Washington
me not to leave Washington for Georgia t.n-
j | General Jackson's dispatches should lie
received, and tlio (Cabinet should decide up
on llio events of the Hominolo campaign.
During bin absenco in London, [badfrequent
rauveraatiottH with Mr, Calbouu who uni
formly informed mo Mini General Jackson
bad no oilier orders for the government of
bis conduct than those given to General
Guinea. Those orders I bud seen. His
representations winch at that time I had no
reason to doubt, made a strong impression
upon my mind, and extremely unfavourable
to General Jackson. 1 entered the Cabinet
therefore with decided impressions against
to be bis interest, to violnte it. In regard to
this assertion of the Vice-President, Mr.
Erving observes, “These are stout assertions,
since it is now ascertained that the ofliciul
nows of the capture of St. Murks, was recoi v-
ut Washington early in the month of May,
nearly thr< e weeks before either he or Mr.
Crowninshicld left that city ; consequently
itwaavery possible that that affair might have
been the subject of a Cabinet council when
letter was produced. It u* then demonstra
ted that the letter written by Mr, Crownin-
shield to the Vice President, does not impugn
in the slightest degree the facts stated in his
letter to me. That letter does not give the
date oft he Cabinet council to which it refers ;
and dates and references disprove the aster-
lion of the Vice-President, that Mr.Crown-
inshield could not have been present at any
Cabinet, at which he was, upon the events of
they were both present.”+ In the same letter the Seminole campaign,
It remains for me to say a few words on
Mr. Erving says “That Mr. Crowninshicld
assorted the accuracy of every fact in his let
ter to you (me,) and then r« luted V> me cir
cumstantially what ' assed in the Cabinet
consultation to which it refers. The question
before the Cabinet was whether we should
take possession of the Floridan, lie was op*
t posed to the proj ct, and spoke against it
the General; which were removed only by land ho mentioned to me in general terms the
the production and rending of the confhien-1 argument which ho made use of on that
tiul letter, of which to the best of my recollec- J occasion. He well recollects that n certain
tion and belief, it was the first intimation I private letter was naked for. that Mr. Mon-
had ever received of Mint letter. I am con-1 roe hod for notion it, but went to look for it,
fidont Mr. Monroe ih mistaken in bis recoi. in some cabinet or retired place, Irgm winch
lection of my coming into bis room, after bn brought a small box, or trunk, ("rod or blue,
Mr. Calhoun, and reading the letter. It is 11 think ho said,) in Ibis was founu the letter,
woithv of remark too that in his letter oftbu j Mr. Crownnisliicld’s recollection is minutely
2lst December, when it is more likely that exact. Hu recollects ns tho’ lie could s-e
bis recollection was correct, than in the the corner oftbo small box in which the let-
spring of 1830. lie tolls General Jackson | ter was found, tlio very p’ucc in the room
that the letter was given to Mr. Calhoun,
hnl does not connect mo with Mr. Culhnm
nnd that letter, and I have a distinct recollec
tion of hearing him givo the sumo account
of it, several times, in none of which did lie
connect inn in the affair of the letter. The
Vice-President se* ms to think he I ns dispos
ed of Mr. Crowninslnld’s evidnneo, by the
letter he has received from him—hut by com
paring the two letters it will be seen that the
Jotter to him does not contradict nsingiesyl.'a
biff of liia previous letter to oo. Mr. Culhouu
ina jiiototo Mr. Crowninshi' Id's letter 10 him
aays—“ Nor could lie have been presviit ut
any meeting of the Cabinet on tlio subject
of the enptu o of St Marks, or Pensacola in
where lie himself sat, during the discussion
and nil sim hr details.” Mr. Calhoun must
therefore resort to some oilier shift or device
;l of Mr. Crowninshiold'u evidi
the charge of disclosing Cabinet socreta. I
have but little o add to what I have
urged m my letter of the 2d October.—
Tlio principles stated in that letter are believ
ed to bo orthodox. In this republic the Pres
ident is appointed by the nation, and he ap
points his Cabinet by and wiiii the advice
and consent of ilie Senate. The President
nnd Ins Cabinet tire therefore responsible to
tral between General Jackson & Mr. Adams.
Wonderful !!! It is presumed that there
was not another individual in the United
States in this happy state of quiescence upon
the presidential election. General Jackson
and Mr. Adams were so unlike in their tem
per, manners, and principles that it is at least
difficult to conceive, how any man wlio lind
the least knowledge of the two men could be
neutral between them. But I beliovc Mr.
Calhoun was not even neutral between tlioso
gentlemen. Does the nation recollect the
letter oftbo 3d of July, 1824, by which Mr.
ask, why not charge Mr. Adams with having
written it ?” “My reply is that the answer
is conclusive. That letter contained two
falsehoods, one intended to injure me, tho
other to henefit you (John C. Calhoun), and
that which was for (John C. Calhoun’s) ben
efit, taking from Mr. Adams half the credit of
defending General Jackson, nnd giving it to
you (John C. Calhoun.) Admitting for the
sake of argument, that Mr. Adams was dis
posed to injure me, no one will, I think, sup
pose that ho would voluntarily ascribe to you
ording to the principles of the government
to bo known. Otherwise the highest public
functionaries known to the Constitution are
irresponsible. To tins responsibility inherent
in our Constitution, there is but oim excep
tion sanctioned by reason. If the secrets of
the Cabinet are disclosed while the Cabi
net is in existence and charged with the
management of the national concerns, the
Cabinet might be rendered incapable of
conducting those affair* successfully. This
the broidest ground upon which the
prince LitoroLO hn* now become King of hurt country.

It bxtroct of a letter from NYilllnm II. Crawford to
John Q. Adam*, dnted 5th July, 1830.
“ I think it probalile that the letter did,not make
strong impression upon your mind, tor I have
no recollection that you mado any use of it, in
your etlbrt to induce the President to support
Gen. Jackson's conduct throughout-”
General Jackson knows it.”' Leaving it
therefore to be inferred, that every’ conspicu
ous friend of Mr. Calhoun in this matter, had
been influenced so to act by tho Vice Presi
dent. Now unfortunately’ for his friend
Lumpkin- the Vice President declares to the
people of the United States that he was neu-
tny reputation, and charged him with having
excited Edwards to the act, and with revising
the charges, and state . what General Noble
informed rno, of bis (Calhoun's) daily visits
to Edwards, for 8 or 10 days beforo ho set
out for the West. No part of this charge is
den> d in the notes. The whole charge is
therefore admitted. In the Vice President’s
elaborate essay of tho 29th of May 1830,to the
President, speaking oftlie Nashville letter, he
twice directed, to draft Ids note in conformi
ty to decisions which luid been previously
made ” To this train of reasoning, the Vice
President appends the following note : “This
appears to be a non requitur. The decision
tnuy have been unanimous, and a new note
necessary, because the note did not ngree
with it.” I am perfectly willing that the in
telligent reader should decide the question of
logic, between us, by adding a single observ i-
tton,that in the ordinary routine it was tho
duty of t he Secretary of S'ate, to have drawn
tho exposition which appeared in the Intelli
gencer, and that he would have done it, s
highly probable, hut from his having dissent d
from the principles it contained. In the fore
going nolo, the Vico President evidently ob
jects to the argument presented in my letter.
If he excepts to the argument in this case, lie
was more strongly bound to except to hn»
which tended to fix upon him, the writing of
the iNashville letter, if it was illogical and un
sound, especially as it was presented in com
pliance with his express demand, contained
in his letter of the 29th of May, 1830. By
his objecting to the correctness of the argu
ment, in one case, nnd waving any objection
to that furnished nt his request, ho must hr
considered ns having acquiesced in the cor
rectness, and legitimacy, and soundness oftlie
conclusion, that he is the author of tho Nash-
ville letter.

of the Grand Duke Constantine to the cord
