been, charged with uny connection with
the statement, in the (ieorgia Journal, un-i
til some time in October of the year 1820,
when a pamphlet published by John ClarR
thenjGovernor of Georgia, fell into my
hands, which contained the charges ac
companied by the evidence of the charge,
which, the Governor had been able to col
lect, but the. evidence was of a nature so
ridiculous,' that none but the author would
havt made the charge. The same Wil
son Lumpkin, who figures in
pondence! and address of the
dent, informed me that Governor
had sent the charge and the evidence to
General Jackson, to be by him laid be
fore the president. It is . presumed that
Mr. (jjalho'un was connusant of this fact,
as he tells the President in his letter of
the 2Uih May, 1830. "You no dou'bt re
