TU TIIE PUBLIC.
Circumstances beyond nty control have
placed me under the necessity of pre
senting myself to your notice. 1 assert
no claim to your attention, which does
not belong equally to every free citizen of
the Republic. Rut I ask, and, I feel that
1 have a right to expect, your candid con
sideration of this address. Its subject is
one of awakening interest to us all. The
position in which 1 find myself has no
thing inviting in it. It is one which 1
have not sought,but which has been forced
upon me, and one in which I am called
upon to vindicate not inyself merely, but
the cause of truth, and the best and dear
est. interests of the community, at the
hazard to w hich fatuity alone could he
insensible.
The misrepresentations of a public
journal, professing to speak the langueag
of the President of *he " United States,
and published under his eye, have pre
sented to me the alternative, of submiting
to an imputation, alike dishonorable and
unfounded in fact, or meeting the issue
which has been tendered to me under al
leged authority of that high officer. If 1
do not shrink from this unequal strife, it is
because I have a confidence which lias
never wavered, in the iuteuligence of my
countrymen, a firm and unshaken
reliance in the justice of that tribunal,
whose high prerogative it is at all times,
and under ail circumstances, to vindicate
the course of truth.
I have studiously abstained from any
effort to excite public feeling in relation
to the disolution of the late Cabinet. 1
have felt that the question of its propriety
was one, the decission of which belonged
alone to the American people. Personally
I have not been disposed to deny the right
ofthe President to exercise his own free
will, as well in the change, as in the or
iginal selection of his Cabinet; and with
a perfect sense of the delicacy of my own
situation, I would have been at all times
a reluctant witness in the investigation
ofthe cases which led to the recent c
veuts. It was not however enough that
I should submit myself to his will, al
though the principle by which it was a
vowedly regulated, could have no appli
cation to me; for this I have unhesitating
ly done. Rut 1 have been required si
lently to witness the entire nnsrepresen- j
tution of occurrences which the public j
were well aware must have come under
my observation; nay, to be publicly
vouched as authority for that which was
directly in conflict with my convictions of
truth—and finally to be called to v indicate
my own claim to veracity, assailed as it
is under the alleged authority of the
President of the United States, or to
submit to an imputation.which no hon
orable man may bear. I mistake the
character of the American People, if they
would require this. 1 am totally igno
rant of my own, if, under any circum
stances, 1 could yield to it. If, in the
face of this great community, the cause
of truth can be prostrated by the arm of
power, at least the privilege of vindica
ting it, shall not be tamely surrendered
m person. I will bow to the decison of
my countrymen —but whatever that de
cision may be,the high consolation of hav
ing faithfully discharged my duty to them,
and to inyself,jghall not lie taken from me.
The disingenuous and unmanly sug
gestion of my desire to remain in the
Cabinet of General Jackson, notwithstan
ing the occurrences which produced my
retirement, will be my apology for ad
verting briefly to the origin of my conn
exion with it, and to the circumstances
which induced its continuance.
It was without any solicitation on my
part, or, so far as I know or believe, on
the part of any of my friends, that 1 was
invited to accept the office of Attorney
General of the United States.
There were circumstances, temporary in
their nature, but still strongly operative,
which rendered it not desirable to me.—
I felt, however, that I was called to decide
upon tile-question of my acceptance, not
merely as an individual, but as a citizen,
and especially as a citizen of Georgia. —
On certain principles of general policy,
some of which were particularly interes
ting to the people of that State, the views
communicated to me by the President,
were in accordance w ith my own : and
I felt it to he my duty, not to withhold any
assistance which I could give to carry
them into effect. The annunciation of
the names of the intended Cabinet seemed
to me however, to present an insuperable
bar to my acceptance oftlie office which
was tendered to me. I thought 1 foresaw
clearly the evils which have too obviously
resulted from this selection. A stranger
to Gen. Jackson, 1 could not with propri
ety discuss these oujections with him. 1
knew, moreover, that some of his confi
dential friends had faithfully discharged
their duty to him, and to the country, by
a frank commuication of them. In this
state of things, I sought the counsel of
those around me. To a gentleman high
in the confidence of the President, and to
a distinguised citizen of my own Strife, I
submitted the inquirry whether, with this
view of the Cabinet w hich the President
had selected, I could with propriety be
come n member of it. The former express
ed bis decidedconvict ion,found* and on along
tr and i-i! mate knowledge of the Presi
j dent’s dittiuctur, that he w ould himself
■ speedily see, and correct the evil. The
Cittcr urged the peculiar relations of Geor
gia with the General Government, as
presenting a strong claim upon me not
to refuse the invitation which had been
given to me. I yielded to these sugges
tions and took my place in the Cabinet,
with a firm determination to avoid the
controversies which I feared might oc
cur. To that determination 1 have stead
ily adhered. Associating on terms of
courtesy with my colleagues, my official
intercourse with theta was never inter
rupted by discord.
If there were anv combinations grow
ing out of the supposed conflict between
the interests of l\lr. Calhoun and Mr.
Van Buren, 1 had no part in them—and
as little in the supposed measures of that
character, having for their object to coerce
Major Eaton to retire from the Cabinet,
or to exclude his family from the society
of Washington. With mine they did not
associate ; but no advance had been made
on either side, and their actual relation
seemed therefore to furnish no just ground
lof offence to either party. In this pos
, tore of things, and shortly after I had giv
j en an evening party to which Mrs. Eaton
lmd not been invited, I received and
heard with infinite surprise the message of
Col. Johnson.
I could make no mistake as to its chai
acter, for there was a direct and repeated
reference to the large parties, which had
i been then recently given by Messrs.
Branch and Ingham, and myself. Such
1 a mistake, if it had been one, would have
been instantly corrected, from the nature
of my reply. If the complaint had been
of a combination to cvcit Major Eaton
from office and not to exclude his family
from society, the reference to these eve
ning parties would have been idle: and
my determination that I would not per
mit the President to control the local in
i tercour.se of myself and family, would
, have been instantly met by an explanation,
; which would have removed the impress
j ion from the minds of Messrs. Branch &
j Ingham, and myself. Yet we all parted
| with Col. Johnson, with a clear convic
; tion that such a proposition had been
1 made, and feeling as we all did, that an
j indignity had been offered to us, there
was, as I believe, no difference of opinion
j between us as to the course which wc
ought to pursue, if this proposition should
be avowed and pressed by the President.
This conversation took place on Wed
nesday evening, and the rumor of our in
tended removal speedily became general.
On the succeeding day, the personal
friends of General Jackson nterposed,
and he was awakened to a sense of the
impropriety of his projected course. It
was then, according to Col. Johnson’s
statements to Mr. Ingham, that the paper
spoken of by the Editor ofthe Globe was
prepared.—My two Colleagues had their
interviewwith the President oil ihe suc
ceeding day, (Friday) and as Mr. Ing
ham’s statement, made from full notes ta
ken at the time, proves, no paper teas
shown to him on that occasion. Owing
to a mistake in the communication of the
President’s wishes to me, I did not see
him until the succeeding day, (Saturday,)
and then the excitement of his feelings
had so entirely subsided, that lie seemed
to me to be anxious to dispose of the sub
ject ns briefly as possible. He spoke of
the falsehood of the reports against Mrs.
Eaton, of which he said he had sufficient
proof; and upon my declining to discuss
that question, he complained of the in
justice of excluding her from society: re
ferred to the large parties given by Messrs.
Ingham and Branch, and myself, and
told me if he could have been convinced
that there was a combination between
those gentlemen and myself to exclude
her from society, he would have required
our resignations. He immediately added,
that he was entirely satisfied that there
had been no such combination, and a
gain referred to those large parties, and
to the rumors to which they had given rise,
as having produced that impression. So
far from then suggesting that information
had been received from any member of
Congress, when I claimed the right of
having the names of any persons who
had made to him representations unfavor
bletomy conduct, he still referred to the
thousand rumors which had reached him
as the origin of such impression which had
been made upon his mind. He showed
me no paper —spoke to me of none—inti
mated to me no terms which hr would here
after require. By his declaration that he
did not intend to press the requisition
which he had made through CokJohnson,
I considered the obj ect of the interview
to be to explain to me the motives under
irhich he had acted, anil to announce the
change of his determination. He accom
panied this with expressions of personal
kindness, which I thought weie intended
j to soothe the feelings which be must have
I been coneious of having excited. Still I
| thought it was improper for me longer to
i remain in the Cabinet. Admitting that
! sufficient attorn ment had been made for
the indignity offered by the messsge sent
through Cnl. Johnson, there was a per
: petual liability to the recurrence of sim
i dar outrage. I believed it, therefore, to
he mv duty to retire. My friends thought
< fhenvise, ami my own sense of w] at the
; interest of Georgia at that particular cri
-1 sis required, iuduced me to repress my
1 feelings.
AV hen at a subsequent period, the con
troversy occurred between the President
ind Y r ice President, I thought I stnv in
this, the evidence of an intention j gain to
agitate the question, which by the agency
of tlie personal friends of Gen. J ackson,
had been before happily repressed. The
connection of Air. Crawford with tins
controversy, and my own relation to Gen.
Jackson, forbade me to take any part in
it, —and I studiously avoided all inter
ference, except to deprecate Mr. Cal
houn’s publication. I left Washington
on the fourth day of April, one after Ma
jor Eaton had announced to the Presi
dent his determination to resign, ace or
ding to the statement ill liis(Maj. Eaton’s)
letter of resignation, and not the slight
est intimation was given to me of the
intended change in the Cabinet. But
when 1 saw the correspondence between
t lie President and the several Heads of
Departments, I could not doubt fora mo
ment how, and by whom, ihe dissolution
had been produced. 1 did not feel at
! liberty to express my views general, until
my return to Washington should enable
me to dissolve nip connection with the
President; but to a few friends who had
the right to understand my actual posi
tion, I stated the litter impossibility of
my continuance in the Cabinet, unless the
President could place the retirement of
my colleagues oil other grounds than
those which I believed to have occasioned
it, and such as I could approve. In full
view of the speedy disolution of all con
nection between the President and my
self, 1 availed myself of the occasion af
forded by the kindness of my fellow cit
izens of Savannah, to do an act of Jus
tice to his public conduct, on a question
vitally interesting to the people of Geor
gia. If there be any man who is incapable
of understanding, or of appreciating the
motive which prompted this act, 1 can
not envy his feelings, and will not at
tempt to enlighten his understanding.—
I returned to this city, had a conversation
with the President, of which the promi
nent points are adverted to in my letter of
resignation which immediately followed
it, and having brought up the public bu
siness, which was in arrear, retired from
office.
While these occurrences were in pro
gress, Major Eaton addressed to me a
letter of like import with his first com
munication to Mr. Ingham. lie called
upon me to sanction or disavow the state
ment in the Telegraph, that my family
had refused to associate with his. 1 an
swered by detailing the conversation
which had passed between inyself and
Col. Johnson, and stated that 1 had sub
sequently expressed the same view s to the
President, who had disclaimed any dis
position to press this requisition, refer
ring to that which 1 had previously stated
to have been made through Col. John
son. The Editor of the G lobe lias publish
ed this detached sentence of my letter,
and has made an important attempt to
distort its meaning. The public shall
judge of the whole correspondence for
themselves. I had no disposition to pub
lish this correspondence. Perfectly sat
isfied that it would at all times speak for
itself, and not emulous of reputation to be
acquired in such controversies, I have re
sisted the numerous calls which have been
made upon me through different journals
to give it to the public. But the Editor
of the Globe is in possession of it, and by
the publication of an isolated extract, at
tempts to do me injustice. I exercise a
right, therefore, which belongs to me,
when I take from him,this unfair means of
of annoyance, by giving the whole to the
public:
CORRESPONDENCE.
Friday Night 17th June, 1931.
Sir: I have studied to disiegard the abusive
slanders which have arisen thiough so debased
a source as the U. S. Telegraph. I have been
content to wait for the full developement of what
he had to say, and until persons of responsible
character should he brought forth to endorse his
vile abuse of me. and of my family In that pa
per of this evening is contained the following
remark of my wife: “It is proven that the Sec
retaries ofthe Treasury and of the Navy, and of
the Attorney General, refused tx associate with
her ” This publication appears in a paper
which professes to be ftiendly to you, and is
brought forth under your immediate eye. I de
sire to know of you, whether or not you sanc
tion this statement, or disavow it. The relation
we have sustained towards each other authori
zes me to demand an immediate answer.
Very respectfully

Washington, 18th June. 1831.
Fir: I received to day your note of last night,
in which you call my attention to an article in
the U. S. Telegraph ofthe 17th inst. i slating to
yottr wife—and desiring to know whether 1 will
sanction or disavow that statement, you add
“the relation we have sustained towards eacli

answer."
To this inquiry preferred as a matter of right,
and piesentcd in the form of a demand, my an
swer must lie brief. It corsists in tiie simple
denial of the claim which you assert, i cannot
recognize your right to interrogate me, concei
ning the statements ofthe Telegraph,or of atn
other public jouina I, wkiekaro made without
my agency. You might with equal propriety
select an article from ativ newspaper in the U

any person agrieved to giro my cot f> ssion if

note, lam not q .ite sure, hr hi., a t the P' si
tiun in which we stand before the public, that I
cr it acquit my selt u> the community or to my seif
foi declining to answer your inquiry.
In the progress of those i vents which have at
length result' and in the dissolution < f the Cabinet,
my deterinii i ii*>n has been not t<> do arty act
which was calculated to provoke controversy,
n r tn di viate under w hatever urgency from
that line of cordu.-t, which my own sense of
propriety prescribed Acting up-n this deter
mination. 1 have necessarily pursued a course,
which a refusal (o answer y<« r inquiry might
seem to indicate a unwillingness to avow.
Sui h an inference w ould be mijiist as it regards
myself, and delusive in relation to the public.
Although therefore I have the ne st unallected
reluctance to enter upon such a subject, and
certainly do not acquiesce ip your tight to de
mand it, it seen s to me that you have by mak
ing the inquiry, impo-ed upon me the oldiga
t on to do so, fiom a just consideration of what I
awe to myself and to llio public. 1 have then
to state to yon, tiiat up to the time of vonr mar
riage, I hud not hoard tho ru:mis, which Slave
smeo in various forms, been pie;ented to the
ptihltc, and was ignorant of Airs. E .ton s rela

your invitation to he piesent at your wending,
therefore, with no distrust of the propriety of
my doing so, other than that wtiich resulted
from my own situation at that period. You ate
yourself no douht awaie how much that event,
and your subsequent introduction into the l al>-
inet, made these rumois the sui ject of conver
sation. I could not longer continue in ignor
ance of that which was publicly and generally
spoken of, and it consequently became necessa
ry for ino, embarrassed us the questb n was, by
the o fficial relation in which we stood to each
other, to determine upon my future cmid cl. In
doing this, it did not seem to jue to be necessa
ry, to decide upon the truth or falsehood of tho
statements which were made It w r as sufficient
to ascertain the general sense of the community
of which 1 had recently become a member; and
having done so, to conform to it. In (he winter
of 1830, as I presume is known to you, l was
called on by a gentleman, who represented him
self as acting, and who 1 doubt not did act, un
der the authority of the President, to express
with precise reference to this subject the rt-gret
which he felt Ihe want of ha. 1 ninny, or of social
intercourse among the members of his Cabinet,
and to announce his determination at any rale
to have it Messrs. Ingham and Branch were
present at this interview'. The fact was dis
tinctly staled that they and inyself had success
ively givon very large par ies tu which Mrs Ea
ton had not been invited We were then told
that on such occasions at least the Ftesident
would expect in future a social mteicourse be
tween our respective families. Theie were va
rious other suggestions made during this con*
versation, but the recapitulation of them is not
rendered necessary by your inquiry. 1 answer
ed to this communication for inyself, that I
would not permit the P esident, nor any other
individual to reguiate the social intercourse of
inyself or family—and that if such a requisition
was p rsevered in, I would retire from the offi
cial situation which I held In tho interview to
which I was invited by the President some few
days afterwards; I frankly expres-ed to him my
views en this subject, and he disclaimed any
disposition to press sncli a requisition lam
not aware that any ether occasion has occurred
in which tho question of an intercourse between
your family a - 'd mine lias boon presented to mu
or to my family.

Sir: Y'our note of yesterday w T as received in
tho course of the day I wastco much indispo

do so now merely to prevent misconception.
In your note of the I7lli instant yon called up
i on me to sanction or disavow the statement con
tained in a publication in the Telegtauh of that

this demand, but for the reasons mentioned in

w hat I had done, in relation lothis matter. To
do this wa ■ the only object of that note.
You are quite right, however, in believing
that I had no agency in procuring the publica

itation in thus confirming the conviction which
you liavu expressed.
I am, respectfully,

Shortly after this, I received a letter
from Col. Johnson, which, with my re

Johnson’s answer. Perhaps I have
waited long enough; lor my reply, ac
cording to the memorandum which I
have of it, was dated on the 7th instant.
But it is not this circumstance which
has determined me. Col. Johnson has
