In giving place to the subjojned, article from the Louisville Journal, we think it proper to, preface It with a narrative given us by a - venerable citizen of this place. ivho at the Limo alluded to, was an active and earnest friend of Gnu. Jackson, and a resi dent of Baltimore city. He says, dint when a iory of Mr. Buchanau's letter it' reply to Gen. Jackson's reference to him, as the witness to prove the ohargo of "Bar gain and Intrigue" against Henry Clay, was received in Baltimore, !i coterie of the leading men, of the Jackson party had as sembled at the office of the Republican, of which Dabney S. Carr was editor, to hoar the letter read. Mr. Carr read it. A. moment's pause ensued, which was inter rupted by the remark from William Frick, Esq., that "Buchanan's letter don't, sus. tain Gen:Jackson." Mr. Carr immediate ly rejoined: "By G—! gentlemen, we mast say it does sustain . Gen, Jackson. Our success depends upon saying so., The Wallington globe will be here to.rnorrovv, .(this war before the railroisd was oonatruo ted,) containing an editorial, in which ,it will be insisted that the letter fully. sus , tainshim,in every particular. and we must say so too, I shall say so, in my leader in to-morrow's . Republican, simultaneously with the Globe." Our informant says, that after some further explanation, it was agreed to put the construction. on Buchan an'a letter, whiCh the whole Democratic party afterwards, Pat on it, and which Mr. Buchanan suffered it to beer, to the politi cal ruin of Henry a Clap, for such along se ries of years. ' , * ' It will be observed that in Mr. Buchan sh's letter to Mr—Weber in 1844, he die. 6.1°4 intimates that he did rdr,,'Olay "am ple justice," in his '•letter in answer to Gen: Jackson," meaning; that that ; letter did not sustain Gen.

Out upon such hypocrisy, and meanness.l [Frani ibe Louisville .Touriusl. • li!enry.Clay Una Janie* We hope that what we are now about to write, Will commend the attention of all honest and honorable Men and especially of old-line Whigs, thelortner supporters of Henry Clay and the preseut reverent of hit. memory. ,The boast has been made that the old line Whigs will support., Mr. Bu chanan for the Presidency. We shall see. All of our old politicians ' hive ti vivid reeollection of the leading events of the e ilootion of ,President by the House of Rep resentatives in the early part of .1§25. Mr. Clay was then a member of the House , and he cast his'voie and iniluentio idfavor lof John Qciiney'Adatus; who was • eke tnd over Gen. Jackson and Mr._Crawford.--- blr.,Claywas subsequently selected by Mr. Adams. as his . Secretary of State.. At a later period M r: Clay 'wee 011ayged by' his political enemies , with having. sold his vote to Mr. Adams' for the Secretaryship, and we all know that this monstrous and cruel charge, though abundantly refuted eve ry form in which refutation was possible or conceiveable, involved to a grCat extent the rain of Mr... Clay's political fortunes. But for that charge, he would afterwards have been elected President of the Unite States almost by neclamation. ° , • , Foremost amongst those who chargod that Mr. Clay's vote eras , given to Mr. Ad ams on account of a promise of the • Score taryship of. State was Geu. Jackson. The . General gave the name of of Mr. Buchan an as his anthority for the 'rah of the charge. Mr. Buchanan hail field a'private conversation with him Upon the subjeot, making such statements as left no doubt upon tho sohject is the'llentiral's In fact, the General did not hesitate to , say, after that interview, that Mr. Buchanan had come to him with full authority front Mr. Clay or his friends, to propose terms to him in relation to their.votes ; that . is, to promo to vote , for him for the. Presi decay, if ho' would promise office to Mr. Clay. Of'course Mr. Buchanan was call ed own) put into the form of a letter what he knew upon the subject,and what he had stated to Gen, Jackson. He accordingly wrote the letter which afterwards became famous in the controversy. This letter was most adroitly written, with a view to relieve the author from the excessively painful position in witieb ... ho stood. He dared not say that he ever bad any author ity from Mr. Clay or hit friends to pro pose terms to Gen. Jackson, yet he care fully so 'shaPed his language as to afford Mr. Clay's political enemies a pretext for repeating the attrooious calumny against him. Ho expressed his own belief of the bargain and corruption story. ,He said : "The facts are before the world that Mr. Clay and his particular friends made Mr. Adams President, and Clay Secretary of &ale. The people will draw their own inference from such conduct and the circumstances connected With it. They will judge of the cause from the effect." . • , Mr.• Clay and hie friends regarded Mr. Buchanan'.o letter as exculpating him and then% from the charge of having authorised Mr. B. to propose terms to . Gen. Jnokson in relation to their votes, and so indeed it did. And yet it was so cunningly written that'the whole of Mr. Clay's political tine. miee throughout the nation considered it and treated it,not as a vindication of the Kentucky statesman, but as hconfirmation strong" of the truth of the accusation a .gainst him. Thus the whole calumny or aste wd in Mr. Buobanau's atateinent tO 'General ireokaon, and, Cum the author of the Itinerant wee requited by Jackson yr lELILLES' AND FriEE." EVENING, JULY 4, /856,, his,organ' to write but in'the shape of a letter, he so perfor,.ed the appointed task, as while shrinking rein any direct confir mation of the impre :ion ho bad previously given to Gen. Jack on. to afford a pretext to the whole Jackson party to assail Mr. Clay as a traitor to his country, and them was not a Jacksontowspaper or aJackson politician in the nation that did not treat Mr. Buchanan's letter as evidence of bar gain, intrigue, and corruption between Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay. The specific) charge, as already stated, which was made against Mr. Clay, and I • which Mr. Buchanan was cited as a wil lows to prove. was that ,Mr. C. bad propos ed to make• Gen. Jackson President if he blinself cody be Secretary of State. This charge invo ving 'the inference that Mr. Clay did, vote fur Mr. Adams for the prom ise of the Secretaryship, was the charge by moans of ~ ..which the party, that Mr. Bu chanan then acted with and overaftervrards acted with, broke down the greatest and best man of his age. And now, fellow countrymen, we ask you to mark the final development of facts. The real truth is, that, instead of Mr. Clay's suggesting to Mr. Buchanan during the pendency of the :Presidential election in the House of Rep resentatives in 1896 that ho and his friends would support General Jackson if he could have the Secretaryship of State nutier Mr. Buchanan himself actually sought Mr. Clay, iiud, in the presence of a third gen tleman, explicitly declared to him; that in the event of his voting for Gen. Jackson and, the election of the, latter, ho would have the Secretaryship. Mr. Clay's Mil mate personal friends often heard him Make this statement hi the after years of his life, and we, with hulf a dozen.others, healdhito say in the Presidential eampalgo 01844 that ho would pot be willing to dia without leaving it on record. And he did not die without, leaving 'it on 'record.

Whatever 'of dishonor, whatever of infamy, there could be in bar gain, intrigue, and corruption, attached to Mr. Buchanan. We do not believe he i bad any authority from General Jackson to say what he said to Mr. Clay, yet be professed to utter fact and not opinion.— He undertook to assert, as from authority, that Gen. Jackson would loan the most splendid cabinet the country ever had, and that Mr. Clay, if he a bould support bun, would be his secretary of State . , Mr. Clay stated in the passage he wrote out for Cohon'a biography of him ' while he was so hotly assailed with the charge of 'bargain and corruption durinc the Ad• wine administration, he notified Mr. Buch anan of his intention to publish the occur ,renee in question but was induced by that gentlemen's entreaties to forbear doing so. Mr. Colton: said in his biography, that he had understood that Several times in la ter years Mr. Clay had intimated to Mr. Buchanan that it:might be his duly. to .publish, the facts, and that he , was dined eii from it by Mr, Buchanan.

The reply was made with Mr. Buchanan's characteristic cunning, and, we givelt belmi, entire.
