that 1 am justified in declaring the charge
to be false. It Is known to all tho country
that the nominations made bv the Prcu.

that I knew of Mr. Swartwout's connection
with Aaron Burr precisely as I did thnt of
Mr. Clay himself, who, if tho history of tlie
times did not do him great . Injustice, was
far from avoiding an association with Burr
when he was at thejown of Lexington, in

V. . ANDREW JACKSON.
Hermitage, Aug. 18, 1840. - .
- TO THE PUBLIC.
: Your surprise, am quite sure, will be
as great as mine was, on the perusal of a
note, signed Andrew Jackson," addressed
to the editor of the Nashville Union jT and
bearing dnte on the 18th instant.
The circumstances of my presenrvisit to
Nashville are well known here. " I declin
ed repeated invitations to attend the Con.
vention holdcn Qh the 17th inst., and fiml.
ly yielded to an unusual appeal, with which
I was honored, and which it would be diffi
cult for any mm to resist.
I was called on to address tho "Conven.
tion. In wlint terms of respect, apd, for
his military scrvicesrof pmiserl spokeof
the distinguished individual who is the oc
casion of this note, all who heard me can
testify. Among the subjects which I dis
cussed was that of the degeneracy of public
virtue, and especially the delinqueney'nnd
ifidelity in public Ttfhccrs, of which within
the last few years we have had such lament
able proof. In Bssigningcanses foFlhis
deplorable state of things, I stated, ns
among them, the subversion of the rule laid
down by Mr. JeffeinfjnoJr)npX.
ty, and fidelity to the Constitution,, and the
substitution for it of one founded on devo
tion and subserviency not to the country,
but to the chief of a pirty : tho nersons np.
pointed to office, too often considered them.
selves as being only .put injossession of
tneir legitimate jwiare-orxne spoiis-or Ticto:
rv, instead of feeling bound bv the obli
gations of a snc.red trust confided 1 for the
benefit opthc People. In . respecti- to- the
defaulters, I referred to the case of Mr.
Livingston, ot wnosc attainments as a' pi.
rist , not more consistent with truth than
my feelings, I spoke in the,; hight terms.
He was one of the earliest and one of the
greatest defaulters. His case occurred
under Mr. Jefferson s adminstrntion. Tlie
records both of the Executive sod Judicial
Departments established his default lie
remained a defaulter about a quarter of a.
century, if not more. How he finnllv ' li
quidated the balance against him, andwheru
I do not certainly know? but I bHieveiMbWid. A mercenary legion of one him-
was by property, and under the first term
oC Gen. ' Jackson. But whenever . and
however it ; was, a tardy payment or com
position of the debt could not, and did not,
expunge the fact of bis onginnl default
in arguing irom cause io etieet, I con
tended that the appointment of Mr Living.
ston was a pernicious precedent; that it
was a virtuarproclamation to all who wore
or might be defaulters, that their infidelity
in a public trust constituted no insuperable
4 bar'0'.0 pmrnotronrto one of the highest
otnecs in the Uovernment. I did not at
tribute to Gen. Jackson a knowledge of the
default. I went even so far as to say that
he might not have reflected upon the con.
sequences of the appointment of an indi.
vidual so situated. I must how say that,
until Gen. Jackson otherwise asserts, I am
constrained to believe that he could not have
been ignorant of a fact so conspicuous in
the annals of our country as tha of the de
fault of Edward Livingston, Esq. .as Attor-
ney of the Uniu d States, in tlie District of
New York, during the administration of
Mr. Jettcrson, to the amount of about 9100,.
It was in the train of the same thought
and argument that I added theappointment
of Mr. S. Swartwout to the office of Coflcc
tor of the most important port in the United
States, as one of the most unfortunate and
injurious examples. Ilia participation in the
schemes of Cel. Burr was a fact of such no
toriety that I supposed and yet suppose,
that no man the bast conversant with tne
history of the country could be ignorant of
it. liut it was not upon Gen. Jackson s
knowledge of the fact, it was upon the fact
tueij mat i aweit. ,
It is now said that the appointment of
Mr. ewartwout was recommended by citi
zens of New York. I know nothing of
these ; recommendations. Whether, they
were cause or effect; whether they were
. . 1 .
guiwu up to proauce or give color and co
ver to tlie appointment, previously determin.
ed to be made, their secret history only
couiu uisciose. i ne appointment occa.
stoned general surprise among the friends
and foes of the Administation at the time,
and tho sequel demonstrates how unwise
it wns.
These topics of my address, to the Con
vention on Monday last, have boon selected
byXren. Jackson for comment and nnimad
Version. " He was not present on the occa
sion, tie nns maae no application to me
for a correct account of what I actually
said ; but litis been contented to rely upon
"being informed, by whom, with what
motives, and with what objects, I hnvo no
means of conjecturing. Whether his in
former may not be some5 friend of Mr. Van
Buren, who, in tho present desperate
suite ol Ills political - fortunes, wishes to
flie niTd and turn
the tide of just indignation on the part of
the people frointhc : General 's protegcthe
exhibition of bis name only .would enable
thrr public to decide. "
With regard to the insinuations and
gross epithets contained in Gen. Jackson's
note, alike impotent, malevolent, and de.
rogatory from the dignity of a man who
has filled the highest office in the Universe,
respect for the public and for myself allow
me. only to say that, like other simlar mis-
siles, they have fallen harmless at mv feet.
exciting no other sensation than that of
scorn and contempt

ExECUTrvE Committee Room, ?
Washington August 25, 1840.
Tlie splendid election results just an.
nounced from the States of North Carlina,
Kentucky and Indiana, gladden the - heart
of the patriot, and stimulate him to grea
ter efforts in the service of his country. ' In
these States.'the enemies of the Constitu.
tion and of the prosperity of the Republic
are annihilated. Tlie Destructives are
panic stricken : turn wliich way they may,
their nfTrrghted vision is startled with the
'hand writing on the wall.' In A'nbnmn,
they have barely. escaped defeat. Missouri
is "coming to the rescue." With forced
but feeble shiuits, they exult over Illinois,
and rejoice that they have been able to
hold their own.
Since the nomination of. Gen Harrison,
the States or Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Virginia, Louisiana, and North- Ciriolria,
all of which voted 'for Martin Van Buren
in 1836, have proclaimed in no equivocal
Inngunge, their allegicnce to tlie Country
and its Constitution.
