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

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.

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

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

Make this statement hi the after years of
his life, and we, with hulf a dozen.others,

not die without, leaving 'it on 'record. A

a bargain, proffered to hint by_lVli. 'Bitch.

whatever of infamy, there could be in bar

bad any authority from General Jackson
to say what he said to Mr. Clay, yet be

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

Mr. Clay stated in the passage he wrote

political friends to' do' so as matter of
Justice not ,merely to his iiivra fame but
to his party, and that, he, was prevented
only by Mr. Buchanan'a entreaties. Pow
Leicher, who was present at the inter

that passed, was aliiays 'of opinion }hat
Mr. Clay.• ought to, make the, publication, -
and told him so, but Mr. Clay was long
suffering ; and carried his generosity too
far.
Mr. ',etcher, it seems, after the inter
view of Jannery.lB2s, relieved Mr. Bush-
anan'i apprehensione by the assurance
that he would not publish the facts of the'
interview without Mr. Buchimon's, con
sent. But so' strong and deep was Mr •
Letcher's conviction that the facts ought
to be published that he wrote .to Mr.
Buchanan upon the subject, during the
great Presidential conflict of 184401N:4er
in, however, in his letter . that he' would
violate the pledge he had originally
given:: Mr. Buchanan replied, -deprecat
ing the publication and requiring the ob

made with Mr. Buchanan's characteristic
cunning, and, we givelt belmi, entire.
One" might think, from the language of
his letter, that he -had no: distinct, recmol-,

and yet that very . conversation, exceeding
