dir. Howard: I have long re
mained a silent spectator of the
many degrading and shameful
means made use of to injure the
'fame of one of the greatest patri
ots of whom our nation can boast.
Not satisfied with personal and
villifying attacks on Gen. Jack
son, without the least foundation
of truth, "the hired presses of the
Coalition," who taste the "Trea
sury pap," have turned their ma
licious and unprincipled attacks
against his innocent and worthy
lady. How lost' to every gentle
manly feeling, every sense of hon
or, every regard to truth, and des
titute of every moral obligation is
that wretch who seeks revenge in
the destruction of an innocent fe
male. ...Ghost of Washington! de
parted sages of the Revolution!
Can you behold their base at
tempts without calling down from
heaven the indignation of God up
on the shameful miscreant! Honor
and truth, alas! whither have you
fled! Have you forsaken the land
of the free! Or, have you never
known Peter Force, Gales & Sea
ton, the Editor of the Cincinnati
Gazette, and their coadjutors!
Such base conduct is, I believe,
unparalleled in the history of Re
publics. The unworthy conduct
of the wife of Socrates was for
gotten, when the public good re
quired him in the public councils
of Greece. The report of the
Nashville Committee has certain
ly given satisfaction to all unpre
judiced minds, and for the honor
of the nation we have cause to
hope that this unentlenianly and
disgraceful warfare; will erase.
The friends of the "Coalition"
have something of more import
ance to attend to now... .What can
ye say now, ye vile slanderers of
an innocent and worthy female!
What can ye say to Gen. Jack
son's letter to Carter licverlev!
Methinks I already hear you s;iv
that it is a lie, and nobody will
believe it....but, sirs, you are great
ly mistaken; the people of these
United States have too much con
fidence in Gen. Jackson's veraci
ty and integrity to doubt it a mo
ment. Though there may be ma
ny opposed to Gen. Jackson's
election to the Presidency, what
impartial and unprejudiced repub
lican will dare say that he is a
wilful and malicious liar! "None,
none, none, Hickory, none;" "then
none have you offended." There
is no doubt but the Coalition
presses will make use of every
means in their power to plaster it
over, but it will not do. It is use
less to contradict it, coming from
such a source. All their mid
night caucuses, bargain, intrigue,
coalition, management, and cor
ruption can avail nothing. The
cause of justice will prevail, the
cause of Jackson and Calhoun
will triumph: "'they have indeed
heard the winds of popular dis
pleasure howl around them, but
have remained firm as the rock
which the billows of the ocean
vainly threaten. But calamity and
privation were nothing to those
who felt the sunshine of the soul;
the namos of such men have been
placed high in the rolls of honor-j subject of general conversation,
1 .1 i 1 . .1 ..,1 ..stnH flinch nYPltn-
able lame." An extract from the
same production, will well apply
to Messrs. Adams So Clay: "there
are other men, the end and aim ol
whoso actions is purely selfish....
who only seek to gratify their am
bition, extend their power and ag
grandize themselves, evincing no
regard for the rights and feelings
of other men; they have justly ta
ken their station in the estimation
of posterity, among the most un
worthy. The powers of their
minds may elicit involuntary re
spect, the brilliancy of their deeds
may command admiration, the
success with which they were
crowned may give them a name
all but deathless. ...still, when the
wise and good, who are not to be
fascinated by the illusory glare of
an unrighteous career, come to
pass sentence upon their charac
ters, it will be the sentence of
condemnation.

py of the letter, and I now seize
the first moment after my arrival
at home, to present it to the pub
lic, together with a copy of anoth

ly to Col. Zaue.
I purposely forbear, at this time,
to make several comments winch
these documents authorize, and
confine myself to a notice4 of the
charges which General Jackson
has brought forward in his letter.
These charges are, 1st. That
my friends in Congress, early in
Januarv, 1825, proposed to him
the charge was' first put funj
through Mr. George Kremer. j,
will be universally admitted, thj
the accusation is of the mcst e
rious nature. Hardly any "more
atrocious could be preferred -gainst
a representative of thepeo!

charge in substance is, that dc?

From the Lexington (Ky.) Reporter.
To the Puhlk.Qi my arrival
at Wheclinir, on the 2od inst. 1
was informed that Mr. Carter lc
vesley, then at that place, had re
ceived the preceding niht, by
mail, a letter from Gen. Jackson,
which he had exhibited to several
persons, and left with my friend,
Col. Noah Zane, for my nerusal
.nnd which I was told, formed a
dation whatever. And I fumlv
and solemnly believe, that the first
of the two nbovementioncd char
ges is alike untrue and ground
less. But if (contrary to mv full
belief) my friends or any of them
made any such proposition or of
fer, as is asserted in that first
charge, it was without my knowl
edge and without my authority:
The letter of Gen. Jackson in
sinuates, rather than
makes, the further charge, that an
arrangement was proposed and
made between Mr.Adams's friends
and mine, by which, in the event
of his election, I was to be ap
pointed Secretary of State. 1
pronounce that charge also, as far
as 1 know, or believe, to be untrue
and without the least foundation.
Gen. Jackson having at last vo
luntarily placed himself in the at
titude of my public accuser, we
are now fairly at issue. I rejoice
that a specific accusation by a re
sponsible accuser, has at length
appeared, though at the distance
of near two and a half years since
forming me can explain.
Th e name of the honorable interlope:,
who made the proposition, will doubt
less immediately he given up; and it le
pends upon his explanation, whether
this matter will be decided, at once, or
require further investigation. In tin'
meantime we have intelligence from oth
er sources, strongly corroborating !!"'
"supposition" of Gen. Jackson: -Mr-Thomas
1. Moore, a former colli'1"
of Mr. Clay, and a late member oii'on
jjjress from Kentucky, in an aiMrcss to
the people at I Ian odsburg, on the 5th
ultimo, stated as follows:
"What argument could he pre

from your known will! Ther

Mr. Clay. J had supported M:
Clay for President; but 1 could no:
prefer his trill to the will of th?
people; and I was astonished, alter
his open denunciation of ?!r.
ams, and alter the course that ins
friends, with his own encourage
ment and approbation, had pursu
