But if ycu fed under any obliiralinnl of a nraonal or political character to come btfore the public previously, voti will find me a ready as youraelf to meet! say. reipottsihili'y or difficulty which such a course ms produce. Up to this date I have considered mv correspondence with you and Mr. Berrien , of a character not to, he di- vutred tf any one, and have therefore confined k to my own bosoas. Xbe obct of my first letter to you was to declare frankly and candid ly, in the ajtirit of pciftfct respect and Irieml hin. tkitl was miaundcrvtood, provided I wai tbe member of Congress to whom reference was made, that y mi might havett in your power iq correct your nilsjpprctension of oy comaurd tiona. . i I did not aee bnw it could impeach your char acter or leasen your reputation to conai ier and acknowledge it a mistake, without your assump tion of t lie ground that you understood me bet. TertfiirrttrmknoAa tould make the public believe so. My s'tandafiP&T confidence and friendship, ensinjr trom a per tonal and political intimacy of twenty years would have dictated that course to me. Such a course could have been injurious to none, and less troublesome to all. But, o tar aa I am concerned. I feel perfectly willing to take ibe courae? adopted hy yourself, of placing oo views before the public. I do not, however, think that it will be rrueh benefitted by our labours and I am farther induced to believe that ths public will place a leas value upon tbe contro versy than yon do. In denting Ibe confiden tial character of our conversations, you ure;e. as .. . .1... .f- .! . . one constnerauon, inai ine . iiiunaiion io invue Maj. Eaton and his family tc youe large parties wa oll'enaive, althouirh vou are kind anuus-h to believe Hat I did not so intend it I II Ibenature .. .. .1 J ! . or :ne fugireMion cuauifcu in your nana ine character of the conversation and the relation of that perfrct friendship which had ao lonr ex. isted, would it not have been magnanimous and generous in you to have advised me of it t I now come to the material point in controversy whether Gn. Jackson, through me required of you to invite Mj F.a'on and hia family to vour laree partus. Tina suggertion was made upon mv own responsibility, with an anxious desire rmre t ffctually to reconcile the then ex isting difficulties. But Gen. Jackaon never did make euch a reriuisitioni in any manner what. ever, directly or indirectly i nor did I ever inti. mate to you that he had made such a demand. The complaint made by Gen. Jackaon against this part of hia cabinet was specific that he had been informed, and was induced to believe, that they were using their influence to have Maj. Eaton andTTifarruTy1exctuded framitrTespecr table circles for the purpose of degrading him, and thus drrve him from office : and that the at. tempt had been made' even upon the foreign ministers, and in ore eaae bad produced the iletirtil effect. He proposed no mode of ac commodation or satisfaction, but declared ex pressly that if auch was the fact he would dis miis them from office. He then read to me a paper containing the principlea upon which lie intended to act, which disclaimed the right to interfere with the social relations of his cabinet. Acting in the capacity of a mutual friend, and obeying the impulse of nay own mind, can it be supposed that I would have miirepresented any of trir.psrrerani thus defeartbe object TTrad; in view f I should hare considered it a gross violation of the ties of that friendship which then existed between us, to have carried to you such a message, as that you should invite Maj. Eaton and his family, or any other persons, to vour large or small parties, under a menace of dismissal from office. When the President mentioned this charge of conspiracy, vindica ted you against it. I give it as my opinion that he wat misinformed. To prevent a rupture, I rcquc --d the President to postpone calling day, that f sj.Ifht l.a th rpportunity cf tars days to tonvfia with thrill. svlien I wada ny r port lo lli TrewJea', I informed him that I a roi firmi d in iry ipin ion c tiixi.ly ts;nSMif, that he Imd beta asia. informed aa to llie eowbination and cos iuiracv.
