Yes, sir, it ne -( entered into the philosophy I
of ihi g-iilleuiau, that tin-re were any:
higher incentives to vittuous contlnct than '
the In pe ol ollice and the expectation of!
reward. When (iem ial Jack. on was in i
the act of executing the pulp "' of the 1
cabal, bt- manner was evidently Studied i

him 11- coni'iietireJ bv st-iting that be
had desired my attendant . to inturrn me '

to lii.n, that be was acting in a chaiacteri
nature never intended bim f n; that be was (
110 iinn e f diplomatist than myself, and '
wished him to Irdl tn frankly what be

kindness, be spoke out bis purpose, a,1(i 1
niked me i' there was any thing abroad I
teamed, abiding that t)w. comiui-sion fur'
Cioveinor of Florida was on bis table, and !
it would give bim pleasure to bestow it mi !
me. To thi I replied, that I had not sup.
polled bim for the sake of office, and soon
alter retiied Thus it is apparent that
tiiiu-'s contemptible in themselves, and
Mich as ought never to have had the
K.bglitcst inllu- nee on any Administi at.ori,
were so managed as to produce a dissolu
tion of the Cabinet and to "ive a direction
of in asuuM w hicti, it would seem, mulct
110 other iicutnsiances, could have been
done.
The tyranny of tin- President, in this at
tempt to ronlinl the domestic relations of
the families of tbe Heads of Department,
is without apatailel in the history of an v
(tee ( lovei nmeiit. and cannot be surpassed
by anv act of despotism in the lives of the
An'oi rats of Ivussia. Viewed in its true
lilit, it il astonishing that any person
vhoubl be found weak or wicked enough t-
t.ppmve or extenuate its enormity. Il
doe- Mnpnsall belief that the cool, dis
pjv.ionaie and unpi iucip.ed aire uitiktr m

acknowledge that, in one instance, I
participated in it. Without the knowledge
ol bin. Jackson, I appoint! tl your newly

office in the Navy, whence he has btia sent

served the country, or strengthened the
malign influence with which w are now
arappling, time will determine. must
Jicknow ledge, however, that I have some
misgiving.
I may now a-k, what has (Jeneral Jack
son not done to corrupt the irres. and
make it subservient lo his purposes?
Permit me lo lay before you an in.-tante ol
Ihe indirect action of Ihe Jjovei nmetit,
through its patronage, on a hading press
in the Obi Dominion a press which Mr.
V an Buieu, I know, was anxious lo con
eiliale and bind by the strongest cords.
I mean the "Richmond F.nquin r.'' When
Mr. Stephenson was nominated to Ihe
Senate of the United Stales as Minister to
F.ugland, I was lost in wnmlei; for I well
knew Cen. Jackson's opinion' of liim; it
was never disguised. When, sir, 1 separa

lime previous to bis determination lo
appoint Mr. .Veplieiison Minister lothe
Court of St. Jauit s, he did not regard hint
as 'worth the powder and bull it would
