August 12, 1831. 33 tf ‘‘ri’f.price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.” ~T'rom the Halifax Advocate. AIR. BRANCH’S LETTER. DkawSik: Of the causes which led to the dissolution of the late Cabinet, 1 have never entertained a doubt. I will briefly state the reasons 1 have for my opinion, and leave you to judge of them as well or ill founded. Be fore the President had nominated Ma jor Ea ton for the War Department, and while the sdijjct might be supposed to be under con sideration, | took the liberty of stating to Gen. Jackson candidly my reasons for believing tlie selection would be unpopular and unfor tunate. I reminded the President that lie knew 1 Was the friend of Major Eaton and personally preferred him to either of the o there proposed for his cabinet, and of course, nothing 1 should say on the subject, ought to he construed into an intention to injure him, Maj. Eaton, hut on the coutrary to save him troin infinite vexation and annoyance, which it was too plain, were in store for him, if he took a seat in the cabinet under the circum stances in which he was placed. The Pres ident admitted that charges had been made against the character of Mrs. Eaton, hut in sisted on it that they wero slanders, and that he ought not to notice them. I did not per ceive at the time that he was hurt by the frankness or nature of my communication, though l afterwards learned that he had be come offended with, and had discarded from liis acquaintance, several of his old and best iiicnds who had used the like freedom of speech on the subject. My remonstrances, it is known, were without effect, and Maj. Ea ton was soon after formally appointed Sccre tary of War. Before this was done, however, l made an ajipeal to Maj. Eaton himself, and j without reserve disclosed my apprehensions ! (t > him, adding that 1 did not pretend to inii mate that there was the L ast truth in these reports, but if utterly false, they would still have an effect on the President’s peace and quiet, as he must know what use the opposi tion would make of it—that I believed it was impossible, he could be willing to subject Gen. Jackson to such a state of things—that he could not have forgotten how much Gen. Jackson had been distressed by the calum nies and ill reports which had been formerly circulated against Mrs. Jackson:—that since j 'die death of that Lady, those reports had sub sit and would soon be heard of no more:— that Gen Jackson knew the same,kind of re ports and imputations had prevailed with re spect to Mrs. Eaton:—that if he, Major Eaton entered into the cabinet, the enemies of the President would not fail to make a handle of ; it, and thus revive in the General’s bosom, | recollections which could not hut he painful and distressing, and which could not fail to disturb the tranquility and usefulness of his administration. My remarks were received apparently with the same kindness and cour tesy which characterised my manners; hut they, no doubt laid the foundation of that hos tility which afterwads became active and un extinguishable. From the moment of Maj. Eaton’s appointment, Gen. Jackson began to use his utmost efforts to bring Mrs. Eaton in to public favor and distinction. He frequent ly spoke of the neglect Mrs. Eaton received ; when she attempted to appear at public places, j He did not fail to intimate that it would be a most acceptable service rendered him, if the members of liis cabinet would aid in pro moting this object. 1 felt greatly embarras sed by sucli appeals to myself. It was ini possible for me to comply with his wishes on this point, but it was nevertheless painful for me to say so. In any other matter which I could with a proper respect for myself and the feelings of my family have complied with an intimation of his desire, no one would have done so, more cheerfully than myself. By way of diverting liis mind, I several times spoke of the difficulty lie would experience in attempting to regulate the intercourse of the Ladies; that they were in matters of that kind, uncontrollable and omnipotent; that he would find less difficulty in fighting over <l - the Battle of New-Orleans. Soon after it was ascertained that Mrs. Eaton could not he received into the society of the families of the members of the cabinet, Maj. Eaton’s conduct to me discovered an evident change in his friendly feelings, and became cold, ; formal and repulsive. I repeatedly threw j myself into his company, and endeavoaed to j assure him that I still had the most sincere desire to he on friendly terms with him, and wished for opportunities to convince him of the sincerity of my profession. In this course there was no guile—no view but that which my words fairly imported. 1 most sincerely regretted the state of public feelings towards Mi's. Eaton, hut it was not within my power to control or soften it. It was a sentiment resting in 1 lie breast of the female community lof Washington City and the nation, which was not to he suppressed or obliterated.— After this, Maj. Eaton’s enmity to myself be came every day more and more apparent.— I Could hear frequently of declarations to this effect, and of liis determination to he reven ged. It is true these reports came to me cir cuitously and indirectly, but l could not, from circumstances, doubt their truth. At length came the mission by Col. John son, toe substance of which has already been given to the public by Messrs- Ingham and Berrien. I will only add to their statements that I distinctly understood Col. Johnson to say, that he came to us from the President of the U. States, authorized by him to hold the interview; and unless our difficulties in refer ence to Mrs. Eaton could he adjusted, that Mr. Inffhiun. Judge Berrien arid mvsclf must expect to retire. When he closed his re marks, 1 well recollect, rising from my scat, and with an earnestness of manner which the extraordinary character of the communication was so well calculated to produce, observed, among other things, that no man had a right to dictate to me and my family in their do mestic relations, and that I would submit to no control ol the kind. The Colonel under took to reason the matter with us, by obser ving that although it might be impracticable to establish intimate and social relations be tween our families and Mrs. Eaton, ho could see no reason why she should not he invited to our large parties, to which every lardy was usually invited, Tom, Dick, Harry, Arc. Will: this concession, lie said, the President would be satisfied. We protested against t lie inter ference of the President in any manner or form whatever, as it was a matter which did not belong to our official connection with him. Soon after which, Col. Johnson ex pressed his deep regret at the failure ol'his mission, and we separated. I waited until Friday, a day having inter-1 veiled, in expectation of hearing from the j President, but, receiving no message, 1 walk- j cd over, in hopes that an opportunity would offer to put an end to my unpleasant state of teeling, l found the President alone, lie. re ceived me with his wonted courtesy, though evidently but ill at ease. In a few minutes the all absorbing subject was introduced. Among other tilings, he spoke instronglan guage of the purity of Mrs. Eaton’s character and the baseness of her slanderers, and pres ently mentioned a rumor which he said had peen in circulation of a combination to ex clude her from society. Several parties, lie said, had been recently given, among others, three by Mr. Ingham, Judge Berrien and my self, to which slie had not been invited, and from this, it was strongly inferred that we had combined to keep her out of society. I told him, that so far as I was concerned, l be lieved my family were doing no more than the members of Congress, the citizens of Wash ington and visiters to the Seat of Government had a right to expect from me as a member of iiis cabinet. It was certainly in accordance with universal custom, and that as to a com bination, I knew of none; that I could never acknowledge the right of any one to interfere in matters affecting the private and social af range men ts of my family; and that before I would be, dictated to or controlled in such matters I would abandon his cabinet,and was ready to do so whenever he desired it, and added several other strong remarks of a simil iar character. He assured me in reply that he did not desire it; that he teas entirely sat isfied with the manner in which I had dischar ged my off!rial duty, and that he did not claim the right to dictate to us in our social rela- 1 tions, hut that lie felt himself bound to pro- I tect tin' family of Major Eaton as he would mine under similiar circumstances. 1 then informed him that Col. Johnson had formally announced to Mr. Ihghain, Judge Berrien and myseif, that it was his intention to remove j us from office for the cause mentioned, and j 1 had learned from Mr. I. the evening before, ! who derived ids information from the Colonel, i that he had gone so far as to make temporary arrangements for the management of tiic De pa tments, viz: Mr. Dickins for the Treasury, Mr. Kendal for the Navy, and someone else for Attorney General. This the Presi-, dent denied, and said he would send for Col. I Johnson, and for that purpose Called for a ! servant. When the servant came, l obscr-' ved it was unnecessary to send for Col. J., j his word wasj sufficient. Well, said he, if you are satisfied. 1 told him I was. Wo continued our conversation for some time. I attempted on that occasion, as I had done sev eral times before, to convince him of the im propriety of interfering at all in a question of such a delicate character, hut his feelings were evidently too much enlisted to weigh any reasons which might be offered. I have al ready informed the public that no paper was presented to me, or rend to me, or alluded to, having reference to the future conduct of the members of tiic cabinet. On this head I can not he mistaken. I may add, that the Presi dent constantly insisted on the necessity of harmony among the members of the cabinet. Here J cannot refrain from a remark upon this injunction of the President, that Maj. Eaton was the only dissatisfied member of the cabinet,—the only one who carried com plaints to the President of the conduct of o ! liters—flic only one who employed liis efforts (to bring us into discredit with the public or the President. Among the others the utmost civility and sociability prevailed. None an noyed him, Maj. Eaton, or made any effort to embarrass the operations of iiis Department, or in any manner acted towards him as inim ical, or deficient in respect; yet, we are to be punished for the discordances of the Cabinet. Can any decision be more arbitrary and unjust ? A few days after this interview with the President, Col. Johnson came into the Navy Department, and as he entered 1 rose to re ceive him. With his wonted cordiality of manner, he expressed his satisfaction at the pacific aspect of our relations. I observed to him, with a smile, that the President denied having authorized him to make such a com munication as he had made. He good hu* mouredly replied, “let it pass; I represented it to you in the most favourable light;” and as he was hurried, here the conversation ended. About the same time I had an intertiew with Major Eaton, in the presence of Judge Berrien and Major Barry. This was brought about by the President. Major Eaton, it seems, had complained to him, either directly or indirectly, that at a party giren by rnv family, the last of September or the first of October, 1829, to the family of a most esti. mable friend and relation of mine, from Nashville, Tennessee, who was on a visit to Washington City, the Rev. J. N. Campbell, then of that place, now of Albany New Y’ork, was among the invited guests. The circum stances were these Mr. Campbell, who had resided in the city for some years pre vious to General Jackson’s inauguration was tlie Pastor of a Church, and such was his reputation that the President and three mem bers of his Cabinet, viz: Mr. Ingham, Judge Berrien and myself took pews and became regular attendants at his church. In the course of of his lnyH.strv, he formed an ac quaintance with my family, and occasionally visited them. He happened there while my friend Hill and his family were with us, con tracted an acquaintance with them, and when tile party above alluded to was given, mv daughters invited him. lie attended and took the liberty of carrying with him, his friend Doctor Ely of Philadelphia, who had just arrived. I knew no more of his being invited thanol any other person who happen ed to he present—He was however, not tho less welcome on that account, nor was his friend Doctor Ely. Neither of these gentle men require a recommendation where they reside. Mr. Campbell is known to be a learn • ed, pious and most eleoquent divine. Soma snort time after the party ( I heard, very much hnny surprise, that Major Eaton and some; oi his partisans were enraged with me, and threatened my destruction because Mr. Camp bell and Doctor Ely were at mv house as above stated, f could scarcely credit the re port, until it was mentioned to me by tlie Pres ident, when I emphatically asked him, who questioned my right to invite whom I pleased to my house. He testily observed, no person, hut as there was some misunderstanding be tween Major Eaton Mrs. E.& Mr. Campbell ; that ho, Major Raton thought it • \inced hos tility to him. At the interview above allud ed to between Major Eaton, Judge Berrien, Major Barry and myself, Major Eaton men tioned the circumstances of Mr. Campbell and Doctor Ely being at mv house on tin;- occasion referred to. I asked Major Eaton, in the most (rank and friendly manner, if this was his only complaint, and if lie wottU na satisfied provided 1 convinced him that lie was in error, assuring him, at the same time, that he had no right to consider mo as being | under the influence of unfriendly fcelincs towards him ; that on the contrary he ought jto know, my personal attachmnct for him, 1 before the Cabinet was formed; and further if | he would obtain the consent of his brothcr-in* ! * au ’ Mcjor Lewis, to read a confidential cor respondence which passed between Major 1 Lewis and myself in tlie winter .f 1827 ’2B j on this disturbing subject he would then bo j convinced of the disinterestedness and cor- I rectness of mv course, and of its entuc con j f‘rinity to tfiat friendship and goodwill which I bad so long subsisted between us. I might | have gone further and said, that Major Lewis, j i the winter of 1827 ’2B, when there couM j hi: no unworthy motive to mislead either of us r j considered Mrs Eaton an unsafe associate for ! his daughter, although he was now endeavour ling to induce General Jackson to diive me 1 ° ,J t °l the ( abiiict, because I would not j compel my daughters to associate with her. j Major Eaton would not sny whether he would I be satisfied or not, and tlie explanation was : withheld. But as we were about to separate - he ofiered me his hand in a more cordial man ner than he iiad done for some months previ ous. I have no doubt that Major Eaton, in tendering his resignation, stipulated for the disniisal of the three offensive members of the , Cabinet. .Mr. Yan Horen also, I have reasons to believe, urged the adoption of this mea sure. This gentleman had discovered that tlie three members of the Cabinet (afterwards rejectcd)disdained to become tools to observe his ambitious springs, and he determined to leave them as little power to defeat his machi nations as possible. It is said to be a part, of his character to tolerate politically no one, who will not enter heart and soul into measures for promoting liis own aggrandizement. He 1 bas become latterly, the almost sole confidant. ; arid adviser of the President. How he ob j mined this influence might boa subject of curious and entertaining inquiry. I may add however, that amongst the means employed, were the most devoted anil assiduous attention o Mrs. Eaton, and unceasing efforts o bring her into notice, especially with the families of the foreign ministers. Finally, when the President found that his efforts to introduce Mrs. Eaton into society proved abortive, he became every day less - communicative, and more and more formal in his hospitaiities, until there could he no doubt, hut that, as to myself, an unfriendly influence had obtained an ascendancy in his private councils and the result shows that he he I determined to sacrifice me to irratify the feelings of those whom I had offended, as stated above. I may at some future time add to these views, at present I take my leave with assur anecs of groat respect and esteem, Yours, Arc. JNO. BRANCH. To Edmund IS. Freeman , Enq. Halifax Tenrn. I*. S.
