JOSEPHUS NELSON AdrtCr. Craven CoWty, Aug. 12, 1831. MR. EATON'S REPLY TO MESSRS. INGHAM J BRANCH & BERRIEN, On the Dissolution of the late Cabinet (C0I?CUPZD.) City of Washington, September 1S31. to the public: I have a statement of another and similar conver sation, held by Mr. Green, in December, 1829, with Gideon Welles, Editor of the Hartford Times. He says: - -O., the u.jcf of rtie next Presidential election. Mr. Green adverted to the embarrassed situation of Mr. Calhoun at the expiration of his present term, when be would hav served . ight years, equal to that of any of h,s predecessors; and iha, Mr. Van fWn, takinad vantage of his situat.o,, wishe to ruln him , drfvi h.ra into retirement. It was the policy of Mr. Van Bu ren? he said, to persuade General Jackson to consent to a " re-elecuon. because that would lead to the rioMDone- in c 111 ui ifji- vfiiuuuii w .itini9i ana ocrxc nn mm " great degree to be forgotten It Would put Mr. V in a an isuren in auvance 01 mm, ami mis was the reason he " va desirous that General Jackson should consent to a re-election." Again he remarks to Mr. Welles, on this subject, that which Jt seems, he felt such deep interest and concern : That Mr. Calhoun had no influence with the Presi dent, and could have none, white Major Eaton was " 1 here; nor could any of his friends receive appointments, " so long as he was in the Cabinet. He endeavored to l excite my jealousy by representing, that Mr. Van Bu " ren, through Eaton, was endeavoring to confer all ap pointments on the old Crawford party. It was indis " pensable, therefore, for the prosperity of the mlministri " tinn, and the harmony of its members, that Major Ea- " ton should leave the Cabinet, and leave Washington " There was one way in which he could retire honorably " nnd victorious. It he would accept the mission to Rus " sia, he would-be making an honorable exchange for the ' War Department ; and all were willing that Mr. Branch " should be dismissed, which would furnish Eaton a tri umph." Thus through this chosen organ of Mr. Calhoun, we are possessed of the true motive which actuated my kind as sailants. Their jIan was that General Jackson should be President but for four.vears, and that Mr. Calhoun should succeed him. The Telegraph was considered by its Editor so omnipotent, that its dictation was not to be, and could not be. resisted; and that it rested exclusively and alone with him to declare who should, and who should not " rule over us." Effect is often .mistaken for cause, and in this case it seemed quite to have been overlooked, that the former consequence of this journal, arose from the circumstances, that heretofore it went with the people not the people with it. The moment, however, that Mr. Van Buren was appointed Secretary of State, jealousy and fear arose, and then the desire was to place around th" President as many of Mr. Calhoun's friends as possi ble T to counteract the apprehended and dreaded influence; a part of which I most gratuitously was supposed to be. Devoted, as I was said to be, to General Jackson, and the success of his administration, mv appointment was calculated rather to thwart than to promote'.their ulterior designs. It was deemed necessary to prevent it ; but if that could not be effected, then adequate means were to be resorted to to get me out of the way. All .this Mr Ingham and Mr. Berrien foresaw. Two of my colleagues, if not the third, were in the secret, and used the influence and importance which office gave them and their fami lies, to promote and further iheir grand design. ' Months had rolled away, and as yet the President liad npver seen and corrected the evil as was .expected. Mr. Van Burn, it was feared, had gained, and was gaining so fast upon my esteem, that serious apprehensions were entertained that I .would fail within the vortex of his in fluence. In addition, it was imagined, or rather feared, that General Jackson might consent ton re-election, and reasons were discerned why. Van Buren would desire it as matter of interest to his, and how, through my influ ence, the matter might succeed, and the claims 0 Mr. Calhoun be deferreo,.his prospects injured, and he driven into retirement. Fear and apprehension, and an impa tience of longer delay arose u Some decisive step," says Mr. Green, " must be taken, or else I do not know what will be the consequence." This' malign influence," which was operated upon by the crafty subtlety of Mr. Van Buren . must be removed, or the effect will be to post pone Mr Calhoun's claims, and drive him into retire ment. It must be removed from the President, and to accomplish i;, I was to retire, not only from the Cabinet, but from Washington, that I might be as far distant a possible from ihe scene of their fruitful operations. The Secretary n." War was not qualified for the duties of the War Department; yet he might be sent to represent his country at one of the most important courts of Europe. H" a.nt his family weie not fit and good society for the tm li s of such pure houorabl s as Ii.gham, Branch and Be rien, and et they were to be considered quite " good society" enough fnr one ef the first and most powerful monarehs -f Europe. ; But, more! They were even willing to afford me a Iri limphi For he sake o( getting me away from the' Presi ae'it. the i e ready and disposed? that Mr, Branch, one ol 1 fiiens -f whom they had made a dupe and instru ment .itght be dism:sed. Amidst all this tirade of abus a d insult, previously offered, merely to get rid of my supposed influence, they were yet willing to bestow on me office and emolument, to mount me on a triumphal car, and tie their friend, Mr. Branch, to its wheels. Now, can any man in his senses fail to wonder, that I should decline all these liberal offers, and finally retire from the Cabinet f.:r no better reason than is asserted by these g"nlemen, that the families of .Ingham, Brnnch and Berrien would not visit me and my family ? Truly, they make me out a greater patriot than I am willing to be considered, while they afford to Mr. Branch no great cause for thankssivin? to them. Their proffer, shows hpw little he kneiv of those persons, who, for all His 2eal, and ardor, and malignity to serve them and their cause, were yet willing to r.acrifice him to their ambition, and to their thirst for office. As a part of the consideration in getting rid of me, they were willing to dispose of him in any way, and at any saennce. ljius you perceive, my countrymen, the real objection to me, as a member of the Cabinet, and why it was that Messrs. Ingham and Berrien entered it with concealed purposes, and with hy pocritical professions. You can perceive the reasons why I and my family have been so relentlessly pursued by the friends of Mr. Calhoun; and you perceive the origin of the progressive and concerted attacks, first upon me, nxt upon Mr. Van Buren, and lastly, upon the Pre sident, that the One might be sent to Russia, the other to Albany, and the third to the solitude of the Hermitae. All us origmaica in tne restless spirit ot fllr. jamoun and his partisans, and in a determination that General Jackson should be President but for four years, and that Mr. Calhoun roust and should be his successor. In the winter and spring of 1829-30, Mr. Green's pa per gave confirmation of the feelings and plans developed in his conversations with Messrs. Webster and Welles. In December, the New York Enquirer intimated that the re-election of Gen. Jackson was desirable, and ventured to suggest, that Mr. Van Buren might be a candidate, provided he declined. Mr; Green sharply rebuked the . Editor for meddling with the subject, and especially for introducing the nme of the proposed successor. In March, 1830. M Webb again introduced the subject, though in a different shape. He says: "We repeat, that General Jackson, and he only, will be the candidate of the republican party for the next Presidency .n- "P1' the Telegraph again took eiception ; and lth?.u TJ so frank and foil, as in the previous conversations had with Mr. Webster and Mr, Welles, yet the article d.mly discloses the same designs. again be a candidate, least bis acts should be subjected .0 the imputation f selfish ends and electio ermg pur poses." He might not think .1 hy. duty to sacrifice his Private comforts;" or, in ie xore distinct language held to Mr. Webster, " he cuht to go home t. the Hermi tage There ii in this article, nothing of Mr. Van Bu ren's designs and intrigue!', or Mr. Calhoun's claims These could be better managed, and to happier effect, through private arrangements, which were then in pro gress, though not completed. It was nol yet time to ap peal to the public for the correction of ''evils, which the President could not be made to see; bufeSid ijtne was considered to be near at hand, and was evidently foreboded by the tone of the Telegraph. Most of the President's nominations had been before the Senate during the whole winter, and the public were at a loss to know why they were not disposed of. The friends of Mr. Calhoun were constantly pourinff into the ears of those who were depending on the Senate for con firmation, exaggerated accounts of his strength in that to dy ; and the political preferences of those in nomination, were secretW and artfully sought after. They prelended to have polled both houses of Congress, and to have ns certained that a majority in each, were his friends. Mr. Hill was rejected from the office of Second Comptroller of the Treasury, and Mr. Green paid him a visit of condo lence, during which he sought to pesoade' him, that Be had been sacrificed to " the Eaton and Van Buren injlit tnce." Others were privately warned, that they were in danger from the same quarter. It certainly would have been a masterly stroke of policy, if Mr. Hill could have been sent to New-Hampshire, Mr. Kendall to.Kentucky, Mr. Noah to New York, and other former Editors back to their homes, to resume their professional duties, im--pressed with the belief, that they had been made the vic tims, not of an Ingham, Berrien and Branch, but of " tie Eaton an8 Van Buren influence." It-was a good idea, if it could have succeeded ; hut being rather far-fetched it failed. Thus it is apparent, that it was not the Secretary of War alone, that they desired to get rid of, but the Se retary of State also. One of the members of Congress, who attended the perparatory meeting about the 0th of March, for the purpose of regulating the President's Cab inet, being enquired of, if my removal would satisfy them, answered emphatically : iVo ; we will be satisfied tcilh no thing short of the removal of Van Buren." . But the removal of these two unrepresented Secreta ries at this meeting, was not the only subject probably discussed before it, and which failed fsuccess. The Premier, General Jackson himself, a more important per sonage, than all, he too was to be disposed of: and the better to effect it, conversations were to be held with srangers visiting the city ; and private letters were, to Be written, to prepare the minds of leading politicians at a distance, to support the decisive movement. It was not properT nir the proper, time, openly to take ground in Hie newspapers ; sapping and mining were preferable. An anti-Van Buren party was to be gotten up, and under that . banner, wi'liout seeming" to be in opposition to the Presi dent, it was Iboiight.the discontented and dissatisfied of all parties could rally, until the scheme being fully ma tured, the mine was to be exploded, when Mr. Calhoun and the Telegraph were 4tto ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm." On the 19th of March, but a day he fore this preparatory meeting of members to re-organiz the Cabinet, at least in part, Mr. Green wrote a letter to Andrew Dunlap, United States District Attorney at Bo s on. In that letter he Says ; "The Political horizon is from day to day, more clrtr " ly indicating the point whence the Storm cometh. The "article from the Massachusetts Journal and the last let ter to the United States Gazette. leave no doubt that "Webster has resolved to puh forward boldly, and on "Clay alone. If Clay succeeds, '"Webster's fortune i "made. If Clay falls, the Lieutenant becomes the COm " mander of the defeated force.

" Mr who was so randi with Webb, gave me, as "a piece of advice intended for my benefit and guidance, "the information that Mr.lWebb had, while here been u advised not to attack MrJ Webster. Will it not be well "to keep an eye on the Coirrier, and also. on "Clay and Webster rely on the Bank, of the United States 'and the federal party. is their organ in . " Let them succeed, or let them make any compromise-, " and the democracy of New England, and particularly " of Massachusettss, are the victims which must be offered ' up to Webster's vengeance. Is this not obvious? Un " less the divisions and disunion of our party can be heal "ed, defeat is "certain. Bold and decisive meajs en " sdrp us triumph. There are some now in power, who "accustom themselves to think lightly of the New E0g "land democracy.. My own opinion is, that that detno " cracy may yet hold the fate of the Union in their hands.' Thus were the democracy of New England addressed'. They were warned against the New 'York Enquirer, and notified of an oltimate coalition, first with Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster, and if that failed, then with Mr. Van Buren. Webster would "come into the marAef" -in 'great force, and Pell nut to Mr. Clay, if he co'uld purchase, or to Mr. Van Buren if he could not. The jealousy of the New England democracy was thus to be aroused; nnd they excited to action by being told "they were to be offered up as the victims of vengeance;" and that " bold and de cisive mean; would ensure us triumph.''1 Thus was it ho ped for and expected, that the democracy of New Emr land would be aroused, and prepared to support "the bold and decisive means" then in contemplation, to expel, "the Eaton and Van Buren influence" from the council, of the President,- prevent him from consenting to a re election ; and have very thing arranged, and prepared W detsroy him.if be did consent. ,' - . ' . In a few days after, a letter was sent to Mr. M. M. Noah, of New-York. In it Mr. Green says " I have no doubt that the last article in the Courier, as well as that of the 12th, was prepared hercy and are 'part of the intrigue intended to separate the President "from his earliest and best friends. 'As to Mr. Calhoun, the object of the Courier is to "drive me to the alternative of abandoning him or Gen " ral Jackson. The artifice is too shallow for success. It " will recoil upon its author. 1 Those who desire to mono, "nolize General Jackson's popularity for the use f Mr. "Van Buren, are interested in circulating such a report, ',' which Mr. Webb took with him from here ; but the in " telligent friends of the President, who associate with " the Vioe President, know it to be false." The report here alluded to, and declared to be fal$ was that Mr. Calhoun intended to oppose the re-election of General Jackson. Howyfalse it was, the reader, under all the circumstances presented, isprepared to decide- Bnt it was not wise policy, then, to permit such An impres sion to go abroad. At that time General Jackson wa not a candidate for re-election, nor was it known thM he would be. The true policy of the cabal was to msimaira towards him the appearance of friendship, a leHSl unlil that point should be settled. It was only tbe " malign influence" of those who might endeavor to peru..uC 4 President toonsent to a re-election, ana ino s-jugni v monopolize his popularity for the benefit 01 Mr. van du ren, whereby to thwart the plans and project of xMr..CaW homv that were lo be assailed. . ; o He also wrote on the 30th of Mtrch lojfo. m.
