Case.
HENRY CL.-^Y fs. CKNKK.^L ,I\CKS
In this cast-. Mr. Clay charsf. Gen.
Jackson, that General Jackson and 1 1
friends did intend to propose to Mr.
Clay and his fi tends, that if he and th y
would make Jackson President in 24
hours, Mr. Adams, in that event, should
„ot be continued Secretary ol State ; m-
uctido, that Mr. Clay should be appoint
ed to that ulnce.
The case was called for trial and the
parties appeared. Mr. Clay opened, oy
Inerely observing, I ask for ihe examin
ation of Mr. Buchanan. Gen. Jackson
has said he is an honorable man. 1 a-
gree he is high-minded and above re-
^ Gen. Jackson remarked—He, sir,is my
Witness. , ,
By the Court. Let Mr. Buchanan be
examined. 1 • i t
Mr. Buchanan appeared and said, 1
am the friend of (ien. Jackson. Believ
ing, at the last presideniial contest,that it
was important to secure his election by
honorable means, and finding there was
no chance for Mr. Crawfoid, to whom,
as well as to Mr. Adams, I was opposed;
having a decided prelerence lor (ieneral
Jackson over all his competitors; 1
thought the best means to ensure his e-
lection was to endeavor to secure lor him
Mr. Clay and his friends. It was then
wtfll known, that Mr. Clay’s first choice
was Mr. Crawford ; but there being no
chance of his success, ii was also well
understood, that ultimately the choice
must be between the Cieiieral and Mr.
Adams ; and hence his itjHuence was all
important to our side. Accordingly
rumor being alloat, and a mere rumor, 1
considered, 1 waited on Gen. Jackson
and informed him that the rumor was,
that if he was elected President, Mr.
Adams was still to be Secretary of State;
that I did not think this rumor should go
uncontradicted, becauseii might estrange
Mr. Clay and his friends. I thought the
General took the /*?«/, and in a very sii;-
nijicant manner remarked to me, “ I will
come into office untramelled,” 1 then
lelt mysell authorized to contradict the ru
mor. I know of nothing lurther materi
al in the case, but will answ’er any ques
tions which may be proposed.
Mr. Clay said, I am satisfied.
(ien. Jackson.—Sir, do you recollect
the time, place and circumstances of the
intervie-w to w hich you have referred
in case of hU clcclion, he should ofter
Mr. Crawford the station he then held,
Indthat they might inform Mr. Cook
of that determination. They did so, and
.Mr. Cook, much to his honor, told ihenx
that he had resolved to vote for his firsr.
choice, Mr. Adams, and that he though*
he had no right to make any conditiotis
with him respecting his future course.
These circumstances >vere communi-
cated to a gentleman of the highest char
acter for honor and truth, by Mr. (>ok,
and if necessary, the names of the friends
of Gen’l Jackson above alluded to, win
he placed before the public, accompanied
with particulars. It is not my object to
comment on the above statement, but to
give it to the world as an act of justice to
men foully calumniated.

From the Nationul Advocate.
We published yesterday, without com.

in direct terms a “proposition of bar

ticular friends. We shall hereafter have
occasion to speak more particularly ou
the subject, and presenting, as we cer
tainly shall, the names of tlie three boa*
lers of this/)roy;o5i7/o/2, we shall also give
certain particulars therewith connected
of considerable interest. The charges of
of corruption so long re-echoed by the
supporters of Cien. Jackson, and by him-
self, there are returning upon theif

delusion of military pomp shall havo

“On the arrival of Mr, Clay’s pamphlet,
the administratio!! held a meeting, and h
was publicly read to a large audience, al-
ter which//fc thousand copies were order
ed to be published and circulated. Gen
tlemen who arrive here from dilTerenf;
quarters say, that no publication is as
much sought after, and that many, very
many of Geneal Jackson’s friends de
clare, that unless he acknowledges th«
falsity of the charge, and makes suitahla
amends, or maintains it by proof, that
they will abandon him to his fate.”
