" A few day after tba tMibUcatioa of my
card, another card, under Mr. Kramer name.
i pubrithed in the Inteuireacer . Tbe
night before, aa I waa voluntarily informed,
Mr. Eaton, a Senator Iroaa Tenneaaeo, and
the biographer of Gen. Jackaon, waa cloortted
lor aoano time with lum. I pretend not to
know tbe object of Ur. Eat on 'a visit to him.
I arate the fad at it waa communicated to
me, and leave you to judge. Mr. Kremcr'a
card ia eompoeed with eotne care, and no lit
tle art: and he ia aaoaV to avow in it, though
aomewhat equivocally, that he it the author
of the letter to the Editor of the Columbian
Observer. To Mr. Crowninahield, a Member
from Maaaachinetta, formeriv Secretary of
the Navv, he declared be waa not the author
of that letter."
Tbe imputation which your phraseology
would seem to convrv, ia, that the letter
which appeared in tlie Columbian Observer,
and acknowledged by Mr. Krenter, waa not
rttrn bv him, but waa in fact written by me;
and that by aae be waa made to avow hiinaelf,
though aomewhat equivocally, the author.
Tour Unguagw. and meaning are ao:newhat
equivocal tooi but aa by fair interpretation
they appear to warrant tbia construction, I
present myaelf before you, to require vou
distinctly to state whether, or not any auch
meaning waa by you deaigned to be convey
ed. It' thia be the idea intended to bo com
municated, I will not persuade myaelf but
that at least you are possessed of facta and
circumstances to fix against me the opprobri
ous charge ot writing a letter, which, as the
nference muat be, I waa not merely afraid
to acknowledge, but which, through finesse,
arrangement, and cloaet management, I had
caused to be avowed by one, who waa inno
cent of producing it.

Sia: Your letter, under date the 28th tnst
waa handed to me yeaterday. After referring
to an Address of mine to my late Constituents,
published in tne National Journal of Monday,
and from which you quote certain passages,
jou uuKirr, -ne imputation un.C.t your
phraaeology would aeem to convey is, that
tne letter which appeared in tne Columbian
Observer, and acknowledged by Mr. Kremer,
was not written by him, but waa in fact writ
ten by mc, and that by me he waa made to a
vow himself, though somewhat equivocally,'
the author. Your language and meaning are
aomewhat equivocal too; but as by fair inter
pretation they appear to warrant this con'
struction, I present myself before you, to re.
quire you distinctly to state, whether or not
any auch meaning was by you designed to be
conveyed."
In the pan of my Address to which you re
fer, naving stated a particular tact respecting
you, I observe, I state the fact as it was
communicated to me, & leave you to judge."
I cannot, tbereiore, admit vour right to call
on me tor my liuerencea tram a fact which I
have submitted, to my constituents, leaving
thtm to draw tneir own conclusion. But, in
the spirit of frankness, which has ever guided
pie, I nave no Hesitation in stating that, in re-
rrd to the letter in the Columbian Observer.
I have not formed, and therefore did not in
tend to intimate, any opinion of the person
who was its real author. I waa satisfied to
take Mr. Kremer's declaration, that he was
not the author of the letter, aa made to the
late Secretary of the Navy.
In the same spirit ot frankness, however, it
is proper for me to add, that 1 did believe-.
from yctir nocturnal interview with Mr. K.
referred to in my Address, that you prepared
or uuviscfi me jniuucsuum ui uis caru in uie
guarded terms in which it is expressed. 1
should be happv, by a disavowal on your
part of the fact of that interviewer of its sup
posed object, to be able to declal-e, as in the
event of such disavowal 1 would take pleasure
in declaring, that I have been mistaken in
supposing that you had any 1 agency in the
composition or publication of that card.

Sir: I received yesterday your note of tbe
31st ultimo With respect to mine in answer
to yours of the 28th (in your reception of
which ypu aeem to think there waa some de
lay,) allow me to remark, that it was my in
tention to have dispatched it through a friend,
who, when I sent for him, happened to be
out of the City: in consequence of which I
dispatched it through another channel; that,
amidst My official, wngagwanants. I cannot
mark the hours with the same precision as a
gentleman can of your presumed leisure;
that I received your own note, the day after
it bore date; and that, by your own admn
aiou, you received my note at 4 o'clock of the
day aucceediiig that on which yours waa de
livered.
Whilst you disclaim having any thing to do
with the controversy into wnicii i nave been
most reluctantly drawn by out rs, under Mr.
Kremer's name, you have chosen to observe,
entirely in justice to that gentleman, that he
never used the language to which Mr. Crow
ninshield testifies; M toat.it ia a mistake; any
thing but tact;" and to claim tbe nght of say
ing " that rraaon revolts at the idea, that he
should have made Mr. Crowninshield his con
fessor." Why thiaJolicitude to defend Mr.
Kremer? Why question ' the' credibility of
Mr. Crowmnshieldf He Has sot claimed to
be rvaewar of Mr. K.. a term the religious
associations with which might have suggest
ed to you the propriety ot abstaining from its
use, whatever occasion he may have fur the
office. The American public is the best
judge, whether a gentkman of Mr. Crowmn
shield's well known character, fur honor, pro
bity, ana verciy hsi Jaiaeiy testmed, or Mr.
Kremer has been prevailed upon to avow
himself the author of a later which he never
wrote.
In regard to your polite intimation, that 1
bad not properly reflected upon what belong
ed to courtesy, I bave two observations to
make, the first of which is, that 1 am yet to
be made sensible of any particular claim that
you bave upon tne for aiveitraordinary oh
servation of its rules; and the second is, that
when 1 may think 1 shall have occaaion to
learn them, I shall not be tempted, even by
a gratuitous offer, to renounce my indisputa
ble right to choose my owa preceptor. -

Mr. Kremer, the night preceding tbe pus,
cation of his card. The privilege of any one
to derive from bis society whatever .tantoy.
menu it can afford, literary, scientific, or po

GEN. SWARTWOUT k MU. CLAY.
From the New York American, of April S,
i o we Exiuora.
Genllemen.n tho. letter of Mr,
Clay, published in your paper of the Slat
ult. 1 find the following passages:" Mr
teuer to juuge orooae waa puoiunea in
Uie napera in thia titj, (Washington,
on tne lin reuruary. me Ucneral
note necnninz tne invitation ot air.
Swartwout and otliera, to a dinner, waa
Jubluhed on the 14th in the National
ournal. The probability therefore is
that he (Mr. swartwout) did not leave
the city until h had a fulroppurtunity 1
to receive in a perional interview wit!
the General any verbal observations un-
on it wntcn ne mijritr nave luount proper
to make. The letter to Mr. Swartwout
bear dat- the 22d Feb. If received by
him, it must have reached him on the
25th or 26th. Whether intended or net

there ia much probability in believing
that its publication on the 4th of March
was then made, like Kremer's address,
with a view to its arnval tn this city in
time to after' 'ifv nomination to the Se
nate. In p in of fact it reached here
the day before 'he Senate acted on that
nomination."
It may be true, as Mr. Ctay itates,
that his letter to Judge Brooke was pub
lished in Washington on the 12th, and
Oen. Jackson's note declining; the din
ner on the I4th February; and yet not
true, as ne insinuates, tnat " l did not
leave the city until 1 had a full impor
tunity to receive in a personal inter
view with the General, any verbal ob
servations upon it, which he might have
thoujrht proper to make." I left Wash
ington on the morning of the 1 3th of
February; but I never Jiad a word of
conversation with General Jackson at
any time upon the subject of that letter.
I did not sec the General to converse
with him during the day of the 12th
February. In the early part of (he e-
vening, when 1 intended to have paid
my respects to him, he had gone to vi
sit Mrs. Decatur, and when, between 9
and 10, 1 did call to bid him farewell he
had retired. I repeat again that 1 ne
ver had any verbal communication with
him upon the ssbject, nor any corres
pondence, excepting that contained ia
a letter which 1 wrote to hiin on the
17th or IS th of Feb. in which I spoke
warmly and pretty freely id the injus
tice and want of analogy of Mr. Clay's
strictures upon the Gen. in his letter to
Judge Brooke. ' The Iettelof the Gen.
was read by me on fuu 25th f 26th, as
cojiier tored by Mr. Clay and at aa im -
sMeHsubaiyrtuereaiter, shown to several
persons, who, upoa reading it. declared
it 4 platn aad temperate vindication of;
nimseii, ana expressed a strong desire
to see tt in print. I determined, there
fore, to have it published; but without
reference to the. particular time or, the
effect which Mr. Clay supposes was'in
tehded. ,! If Gen. Jackson derigncd it
for pubueaUoD,uwa8 certainly unknown
io roe ne gave no sucn intimation ; to
me, in the letter or otherwise, althoagh
he had a perfect rijht to do ao. Injus
tice to Gen. Jackson, I must add, that
10 making the letter public, without his
authority, I trusted to hia indulgence.
.'should Mr, Ulay other, statements
and inferences reat aponno betterbun
dation, feeble most, be the effect of his
elaborate conclusions.,
I ahould not consider It at all neces
sary to vindicate Gen. -Jackson's right
to repel a slander to cocyrse with ma
and write to me1 too, and that tor pub
lication, upon , this or any other subiect
but, I. feel it to be tny doty to Mate
