Dear Sir: I have' received a copy of your '
letter, of the 80th ult. to Mr. Berrien and
myself, forwouded• bey him from Washington,
relating to an allega tion 'made in-the_news
papers, that Gen. Jackson had required,
"' through a Member of Congress, of'Messrs.
BranA, Berrien, and myself, that our fatni
,
htmi also noticed the publication in the Tele
graph to which you refer, and another of the
mine import in a New York paper of an
earlier date, and supposing it probable,- in
the existing state of the.public mind, that,
the discussion would take - subh a range as to
involve all the parties to that transaction in
the necessity of making explanations,. I had
commenced the preparation of copies of a

Mr. Inghani's :statement, a copy of which
was enclosed in his letter to Col: .J
On Wednesday, the 27th of January,lB3o
Col. Johnson of Kdntucky, waited on me in
the treasury department, andnfter some_pre.,
li minary conversation, in which he expressed
his , great regret that my family, and that of
Mr. Branch and that of Mr. Berrien, did
not visit Mrs; Eaton; he, said that it had been
a. subject of great excitement with the Presi
dent, who had come to the determination of
having harmony in his cabinet by some 'ac
' commodationpf this matter. He, Col. John
son, was the friend of us all, and had' now
'come AT THE REQUEST OF THE
PRESIDENT to see whether any thing
• d-be-41euei---who,thoughtwhenom , --ladies )
gave parties they ought to invite Mrs. Eaton
and as they had never returned her call, if.
they, would -leave the first card, and open a
formal intercourse in 'that way, the Presi
dent would be satieid, but unless something
was done of this nature, he had no doubt,
indeed he knew, that the President was re
solved to have harmony, and would proba
bly remove Mr. Bi anch, Mr. Berrien and
myself.. I replied to Col. Johnson, that in'
all matters of official business, or. ,having any
connection therewith, I considered myself
bound to maintain an open, frank,. and har
monious intercourse with the gentlemen I*
'was associated with. That the President
had a right to expect the exertion of my
best faculties, and the employment, of my
ice. AS To the farn
ily of Mr. Eaton, I felt an obligation on me
not to say any thing to aggravate the diffi
dnities which he labored under, but to ofiservd
- total- silence,- and -neutrality. in relation to
Tthe reports abaft Wife,.. and to, incutente
the same course hs to. thy. Pithily, and if any
Aither_representations-had bee,n-to the'Presi
delit they were thlse.. Having prescribed
tocmyirelf this rule, and always acted 'upon it,
light to
expect. That
,the-scoiety of 'ashipgton
was libevillytwganized; there:was but one cir
cle, into which every person of respectable.
.charactel disposed: to be social was readily
admitted;without reference to the circum- -
stances of .birth, fortune, or station which
operated in many other daces. That we
had no right to elert 'official poweK,to rep-,
late its social intercourse. That Mrs. Ear
ton had never been received by the society
here, and it did not be:cerne us.to force her
upon it; that my fa - mily haalherefbre not
associated with her, and they hid 'done so
with my aliProbatioN and ihal the Presi
'dent ought not, for the sake of his own-char
acter:lto interfere in such Matters. 'But if
he chose to exert his power it fore my
family, to yisit any bed' they did not' hoose
to visit, he was interfering with that *hich
(longed to me, and nAturium_pc...wezr should

hardly be possible that the : President_eon . --
templated such a step. Col, J. replied that
he .certainly did; arid twain remarked that
it seemed to be useless tbr him-to see Mr.
Branch and. Mr. Berrien. - I told him that
each of us had taken our course, upon our
own views of propriety, without concert; and
that he ought not to consider me as an
• •
swermg for any' but myself. He then pro-
posed that I should meet him at. Mr. Branch's
and invite Mr. - Berrien, that evening at 7
o'clock; which was agreed to. Col. J. came
to my house aheut 6, and we went up to Mr.
Berrien's, having first sent for Mr. Branch.
On our way to MI - Berrien's, Cul. J. remark
ed that the President bad informed him that
he would invite Mr. Branch,. Mr. Berrien,
and myself, to meet him on the next Friday,
when he would intbrm us, in the presence of
1)r. Ely, of his determination; and icwadid
not agree to comply with hig wishes, he
would expect us to send in our resignations.!
Upon our arrival at Mr. Berrien's, Col. J.
renewed the subject in presence of him
and Gov. Branch, and repeated substantially
though, I thought, rather more qualifiedly,
what he had said tonie. He did not go so
much in detail, nor do I' - recollect whether
he mentioned the President's remarks as to
the lady above meqtiened and Dr. Ely—
those gentlemen will` , better recollect. Mr . .
Branch and Mr. Berrien replied, as unequiv
,
.9eallyns IMB..d_donc, that they would never
consent to have the social relations of their
families controled by any power whatever but
their Own. Mr. Branch, Mr. Berrien, and
my4elf, went the same evening to a party at
Col. Tow - son's, where a report vas current
that we were to be removed forthwith, of
which I had no doubt at -the time. The
next morning, Col. J. came to my house, and
said that he ought perhaps to-have been more
frank last evening, and told. us positively that
the President had finally determined on our
removal front office, unleSs we agreed at once
that our families should visit . Mrs. Eaton,
and invitaher to their largeparties; and that.
he had made up his - Mind to _designate
• Dickins to take charge of the Treasury De
partment, and Mr. Kendall to take charge
of the Navy Department; and wouldfr Ord an
Attorney General. somewhere. I observed
that my..course,was fixed, and could not he
changed for all the offices iii the President's
gifts; and it made no more difibrence to me
than to any other person whom the Presi
dent 'designated to take my place. In the
evening of the same day, Qol. J. called again
-and-informed-me, that haoii*lltisilfien with_
the President, who had 'drawn up a paper
explanatory of what he had intended and
expected of us; that some of his Tennessee
friends had been with him for several hours;
that his passion had subsided, and he had en
tirely changed his ground. He would not
'insist on our families visiting Mrs. Eaton;
he only wished us to assist in putting down
the slanders against her; that he 'believed
her innocent, and he thought our families
ought to do what they could to sustain her, if
.they could not visit her; and that he wished
to see me the next day. Col. J. added that
, the President had been exceedingly excited
for several days, but was now peribetly calm
and Mild- The next day I waited on the
President, and opened the subject by stating'
that Col. Johnson had inrorme - d„me-thathe
wished to see me; to which he assented, and
went into a long argument to show how hmo
ceatawoman Mrs. Eaton was, and how much
She had been persecuted, and mentioned the
names-oft - number of ladies who - had- been
active in this persecution, and that the lady
oft4 foreign minister was also one of the con
spirators; adding that he would SENDHER

that Mrs. E. was as pure and chaste as Mrs.

combination here among a number of ladies,
not those of the heads of 'departments, to
drive her out of society, and to drive her

that he was resolved to have harmony in his
cabinet and he wished us to join in putting
down the slanders against Mrs. Eaton. I
observed to the Presideit, that I had never

the character of Mrs. Wod; such a service.

saw no ground, theretbre, for the least change
on my part in this respect. Trmhich the Pre
sident replied, in a changed tone, that ha .had
the most entire coldidence in my integrity &.
capacity in executing the ditties of the de
partment, and expressed his perfect satisfhe 7
tion, in that respect, with my whole conduct;
he had never supposed for moment thatiay
official acts had been influenced in the least
degree by any unkind feelings towards Maj.
Eaton; and he did not mean to insist on our
families v ‘ isitingiplis. Eaton;,, He had been
much excited, for some time past, by the
combirtion against her, and he wished us to
aid him in putting ddw i i their slanders, add
ing that she was excluded 'from most of the
invitations to parties; and, when invited, she
was insulted; that a lady of a foreign min
ister before referred to had insulted her at
Baron Krudcner's party. I remarked, that
some injustice might be done tO that lady oil
that occasion; although she might not choose
to associate with Mrs. Eaton, I did not think
she intended to insult her; she might have
supposed that there was some de,sio-n, not al
together respectful to herself, in the offer of
the attendance to supper of the Secretary of
War, whose wife she did not visit, instead of
that of the Secretary of State, which,
cording to the usual. practice she probably
onside red l rse fen t itled to. I _was preseM,
and saw most of what had happened: She
evidently thought herselfaggrieved at some
thing, but acted with much dignify on the
occasion. I saw no appearance of insult of
fered to Mrs. Eaton. He replied that lie
had been fully informed, and knew , all about
it; and but ffir certain reasons Which he
mentioned, he would have sent the foreign
minister bifore referred to, and his wife,
home immediately. ' After sonic further cop
versat ion, on this and other matters, in which
I considered the President as having entire
ly waived the (lemm' made through . Col.
-Johnson"--thah my--Tinnily must visit Mrs._
_Eaton,_as the condition for my remainir4in
office, and in which he expressed himself in
terms of personal kindness towards. me, I
took my leave. He did not show me, or
read any paper on the subject.
ad, hea;Yl
The public will now, I think, be at - no foss
to determine upon 'the true state of the facts
of this case. Mr. Ingham's very full state
ment is taken from notes made at the time,
and which were shown to me shortly after
;they : were-made. In repeated conversations
with Mr. Branch, our recollections were
fOund - to concur The transaction was of a
nature calculated to awaken all my attention,
and to impress itself 'indelibly upon my me
mory. I claim no benefit, therefore, from
any supposed imperfection of this faculty;
and expect to believed, because I speztk the
truth.
In relation to the statement that the paper
drawn up in the hand-writing of the Presi
dent was shown to me, the denial of which I
most explicitly repeat, if charity is to perform
her holy office in reconciling these conflict
ing assertions; it is much more easy to be
lieve that the memory of the President may
have failed on this occasion. He saw and
conversed with various persons on this sub
ject, and - has to - rely upon - his xnemory-for
the fact of having shown this paper to differ
ent individuals. Each of those individuals
is required only to speak for himself. The
nature of the transaction was .such. that it
'COUIT - nOt - have escaped the recollection a
either of them.
It was impossible if such a paperhad been
shewn, not to have demanded, and to have
persevered in thedemand.to have the names
of the - persons, o n whnse k littirmation the re-
quisition was ma. e. `..,0 one wou have
consented to have the conditions on which he
should continue in office, prescribed to him,
on the ground of a combination, the evidence
.of which rested on mere rumor. An inquiry
Must have been the, - consequence; and the
transaction could not only not have been for
gotten by the parties, but would thus have
become known to others. I would not my
self have retained my office a moment after
such a paper was exhibited to me. I will
not question Ike intention of the President to
have shown this paper to me, nor his belief
that he did so• bufrthat he did not do so, is
certain. Those who know me will not doubt
the sincerity of th is declaration, and an impar
tittfoommunity wilkl trust, perceive no suf
ficient motive to be deduced, either from my
character, or the circumstances of this trans
action .for the: belief of intentional misrepre
sentation on my part.
At any rate, I have discharged my duty,
by bearing this testimony to the truth.

the discernment and the integrity of my
