General Houston, (S.imuel, since rresiaenl of Iexas,) then a member of Con grcss from Tennessee, when the subject of that election 1 was introduced by htm. Although the subject of tho Presidential elec-! lion, from'; the lime of the commencement of the canvass before tho people, had been fully discussed between us, this was the first after tho people; had failed to elect that we had conversed in relation to it.

' atton were nil going to .lo this, I answered. thai I could not undertake to speak for ihem, fpr sfar as I knew, ho meeting or consulta tion had taken place among l': The mannerv of Gen. Houston was, ; ious, and evinced much solicitude!, and at tis point of the conversation, he exclaimed: 'What a splendid administration it would make, with Old Hickory for President, and Mr. Clay Secretary of State!' Having often before ex 'pressed to Gen Houston myropinion of the several candidates, I did not, at that time. think proper to repeat it; contenting myself with an implied acquiescence. -in tho cor rectness of his declaration. . - . j "The conversation was continued for; a considerable time,' rrd for the most part in relation. to i wes' : . . . interest,, as connected with the Presic1- , r.:.J was concluded by Gen.

"In a letter writlcnhy mo; dated Wooster Mav n. 1 27. nnd appended to' Mr Ciava at'.iress to the public of that year,' I referred to the imporiumty of tome of Gen.
