Mr. Buchanan's Letter. This gen
tlcman's statement relative to the sup
posed proposition made to Gen. Jack
son, will Lie tound in tins day s paper.
It has given rise to various and contra
dictory remarks among the editorial fra
ternity, who seize upon particular pas
sages and make deductions for or against
Mr. Clay, agreeable to their partialities
or prejudices. We candidly admit that
in our opinion it is not conclusive we
stated in our last paper that it substan
IB
tially coulirms tne conversation as rela
ted by Gen. J. but lhat Mr.B. acted, using
his words, "upon his own individual re
sponsibility, and not as the agent of Mr.
Clay or any other person." That Mr.
13. viewed the subject as he represents
it, we do not presume to question but,
we will" endeavor to show that the sun-
A
position of Gen. ,1. that Mr. 13. spoke by
authority trom Mr. C. or his confiden
tial friends, was a fair and reasonable
conclusion. In the first place, it is ne
cessary to a proper understanding of the
subject, that we know the political sen
timents of the parties introduced Mr.
Buchanan was and is the friend of Gen.
J. and from his own statement, "never
has been the political friend of Mr.Olay,
since he became a candidate for the office
of President." The New-York Even
ing I'oil says "we are authorised to state,
that Mr. Markley was one of the caucus
which nominated Mr. Crawford, and!
that he voted for Gen. Jackson as Presi
dent, in compliance with the wishes of
4 .
and might fight them with their own wea
pons, i nattnc western memoers wouia na
turally prefer voting for a western man, if
there were a probability, that the claims of
Mr. Clay to the second office in the govern
ment should be fairly estimated; and that if
they thought proper to vote for Gen. Jack
son, they could soon decide the contest in
his favor."
It will be observed, that although the
phraseology and the arrangement of the
sentences varies a little, the ?ubsta)icc
of the two statements are the same ex
cepting the "opinion it was right ta
fight such intriguers with their own
weapons," which Gen. J. ascribed to
Mr. 13. and also Gen. J.'s supposition,
expressed in another part of his letter,
that Mr. 13. spoke by authority. The
first of these is easily accounted for,
when we refer to the fact, that Mr. .
was not interrupted in his remarks, in
which the opinions of another person,
were introduced, until he "had finished.'7
And what other inference could Gen. J.
draw from the following passages, but
that Mr. 13. was also the friend of Mr.
Claj-, and spoke by authority Mr. I).
;.tated to Gen. J. "that there was a re
port in circulation, that he had deter
mined that he would appoint Mr. Ad
ams Secretary of State, in case he was
elected President," and "thought this
report should be promptly contradicted
unuer lus own authority" Mr. 13. fur
ther remarked:
"That no doubt there were several shir-
ana ambitious men in the countrv, anient
whom I (Mr. Ii thought that Mr. Clay
might be included, who were aspiring to.
that office" and, says Mr. B. after Gen. J.'s
reply, -4I told him that his answer was such
an one as I expected to receive, if he answer
dd it at all, and that I had not sought to ob
tain it for my own satisfaction. 1 then ask

This is given bv Gen. J. as the nro-

Mr. 15. in which some remarks of a third
person were introduced. Mr. U iiclnn.

ther I mentioned his name (the third
person) or merely described him as

at the time he "urged" him to call on

ed President, to appoint Mr. Adams Se

tempted to be made with Gen. Jackson,
but was there one consummaied with
Mr. Adams previous to the election?
This is the bone of contention, and not
withstanding the positive assertions of a
few heated parlizans, we verily believe
that nine-tenths of the American neonlo
are not satisfied of tiie guilt or inno
cence of Mr. Clay. The original charge
is now traced to the political household
of Messrs. Adams and Clay that i,
lhat there was an understanding be
tween them previous to Mr. A.'s "elec
tion -they have now to dispose of the
assertion of a member of their own po
litical family, that sometime before thrv
election "some of the friends of Mr.
Mams had already been holding out
the idea, that in case he were elected
Mr. Clay might probably be offered
the situation of Secretary of State."
This is the substance of the original
charge, and Mr. Markley, who holds an
office under Messrs. A. & C. worth
S3000 per annum, must now state upon
whose authority he made this assertion
to Mr. Buchanan, which was intended
to influence Gen. Jackson's conduct.
In his recent speech at Lexington, Mr.
Clay observed, "Do not all nernetrator
of crime endeavor to conceal their jruilt
and elude detection?" This will readily
be admitted, and it may be added, that
lawyers and politicians are not the least
crafty persons in society. We rene.it
our belief, that the only effectual way ?r.
