Dicaa B?a?Your letter of the ISth ?lt
from LoukvUle.Ky. is Just received, and In
conformity with your request, address rty
answer to to Wheeling Vn.
Your Inquiries relative to the proportion
of the bargain made through Mr. Clay's
friend* to some of miuc* concerning the then
Presidential eleetkn, were answered /reefy
and frankly at the times but without any cal
culation th'* they were to be thrown Into the
public journals?but fatt*.cannot be altered
?and as your letters seem not to have been
written for publication, 1 can assure you,
tltat, having no concealment myself, nor any
dread arising from what 1 may have said on
the occasion and subject alluded to) my feel*
ings towards you are not the least changed.
I nlwsvs Intended, should Mr, Clay come
out over his own name and deny having any
knowledge of the communication nu*:e by
htsfricuu to my friends and tome, that!
would give hint the name of the gentleman
through whom that communication came.
1 have not seen your letter alluded to, as
having been published in the Telegraph?al
though that paper, as I am informed, is re
gularly mailed ror me at Washington, still I
receive it irregularly: and that containing
your letter has not come to hand, of course I
cannot say whether your statement is sub
stantially correct or not?I will repeat how
ever, again the occurrence, and to which
my reply to you mnst have conformed, ami
from which, it their has been any variation,
Jou cen correct it It is this. Early in
anuary 1825, a member of Congress, of
high respectability, visited me one morning,
and observed, that he had a communication
he was desirous to make tome?that he was
Informedthit there was a great intrigue go
ing on; and that it was right I should be In
formed of It?thst he enme ns a friend?nnd
let me receive the communication as I might
the friendly motive* through which it was
made he hoped would prevent any chance of
friendship or feeling with regard to him.
Towhkh I replied, from his liich standing
ns a gentleman, nnd member of Congress,
and from his uniform, friendly and gentle
manly conduct towards myself, 1 could not
suppose he would make any communication i
to nit, which he supposed was improper. I
Thcrefote his motives being pure, let me
think as I might of the communication, my
feeling towards him would remain unaltered.
The gentleman preceded. He said he had I
been informed, by the friends of Mr. Clav,
that the friends of Mr. Adams had mane
overtures to them, saying, if Mr. Clay and
his friends would unite in nid of the clcttion
of Mr. Adam*, Mr. Clav should be Secreta
ry of State. That the fi imds of Mr. Adams
were urging, as u reason to induce the friends
of Mr. Clay to mu.cdc to their proposition,
that If I wus elected President, Sir. Adams
would h?* continued Secretary of St:itc, (inu
mdo; there would be room no, for Kentucky.)
That the friends of Mr. Clay stated, the
west-did net wish t?#v|?erhte from the west,
and that if J would *a), or permit any of my
confidential.friends to *ay, that in case 1 was
elected President, Mr. Adams should not he
continued Secretary ot State, by a complete
union of Mr. Clay wikl hit friends, they would
nut <ui cud to the Presidential contest in one
hour And lie wuaof opinion it wan right to
fijjlit such intriguers with their own weapons,
'to which, in substance, 1 replied, "that in
politic* as in every thing else, my guide was
principle; and contrary to the expressed and
unbiassed will of the people, or tneir consti
tuted agents, 1 would never step into the
Presidential chair; and requested liim to say
to Mr. Clay and friends, (for I did suppo?c
he hud come from Mr. Clay, although he
u*ed the term of Mr. Clay's friend*,) that
before I would reach the Presidential chair
by such means, of bargain and corruption, 1
would see the earth open and swallow both
Mr. Clay and his friends and myself with
them, if they had not confidence in me to
believe, if I wag elected that I would call to
my nid in the cabinet, men of ?he first .virtue,
talent and integrity, not to vote for me."
The second day after thi? communication and
reply.lt was announced in the ne wtpapcr* that
Mr. Clay had come out o|H-nly and avowedly
In favor of Mr. Adams.
It may he proper to observe, that in the
?apposition that Mr. Cluy, was privy to the
projios.tioti stated, 1 may have done injustice
to him?if so, the gentleman informing me
can explain.
1 am, very respectfully, vour most obedient
servant. ANDHLiW JACKSON.

TO TUB PUBLIC.
? On my arrival at Wheeling, on the 23d
in*t. I was informed UiHt Mr. Carter Bcver
,lv, then at that place, had received the prc
e'eeding night l?v mail, n letter from Gen.
Jackaon, which he had exhibited to several
persons, and left with mv frit nil Col. Noah
Zand for my peruaal, am) which ) wn* t/?Kt
formrd n subjret "f general conversation,
and had produced much excitement in the
town. Tn?captain ??f the Itvindeer having
kindly detained hi* ?Unm lw>i\t for my act-cm
modation, and a* 1 w:i? unwilling to delay hi*
departure, I hud only time to obtain a hasty,
I but, 1 believe, a correct ropy of the letter,
I and I now seise the first moment, alter my
Arrival at home, to present it to the public,
together with a cf^>y of another letter ad
' dressed by Mr. Beverly to Cel. Zrxnt .
1 purpo*ely forbear, at this time to make
severnI comment* which these document*
authorise, and confine myself to n notice o|
the charges which Oen. Jackson has brought
forward in hi* letter.
These uhargct are, 1st. That my friend*,
In Conarcsa, early in January 1825, propos
ed to him, th^t* if lie would say, or permit
any of his confidential friends to *ay, that, In
ease lie was elected President, Mr. Adam*
?hould not be continued Secretary of Htate,
l>y a complete union ot mvself and my friend*,
we would put an cud to the Presidential con
test In-one hour.
2ndly. That the above proposal was made
to Gen. lackson through a distinguished
member of Congress, of high standing, with
myprlvity and consent.
* To the latter charge I oppose a direct, un
qualified and Indignant denial. I neither
nor authorised, nor knew of any pro
whatever to either of the three can
fwufiM w iw fiouM of Ntprttrn
tattoos at the last Presidential election, t r
to the friend*ot either of them, for the pur
pose of taitoenohif the sesnlt of the election,
or for any other purpose. Ami all allega
wm wcrtu i
cn, or was in fact given, to oowkieratfon ol
that 1 *?!, or that any other person w?i
not* to be appointed 'Secretary of Statue, Of
that I was, in any other Manner, to bo per
sonally benefitted* are devoid of- all tpkth,
and destitute of anjb foundation whatever.
And 1 firmly and solemnly believe, that the
first of the atave mentioned charge* Is alike
untrue and groundless. But If (contrary to
my full belief) my friend*, or .any of them
made auchproposltion or offer, at la assert
ed in that tint charge. It wm without my
knowledge and without my authority..
The letter General Jackson insinuates,
rather than directly makes the fiirtltcr
chargathatan arrangement wasproposedand
made between Mr. Adam* friends and mine,
by whieh, in the event of hie election, I wis
to be appointed Secretary of State. I pro
nounce tnat charge also, aafnr at I know or
believe, to be untrue, and without the least
feiphdatkn.
Gen. Jackson having at last voluntarily
placcd himself In the attitude of my public
accuser, we are now fairly at an iaaue. 1 re
joice that a specific accusation by a respon
sible accuser, has, at length, appeared,
though at a distance of near two ana n half
years since the charge was first put forth
through Mr. George Kftmer. ? It will bo
universally admitted, tliat the acusatiotoii of
the most serious nature. Hardly any more
atrocious could be preferred against a. rep
resentative of the people in hit official char
acter. The charge in substance is, that de
liberate "proposition of bargain" were made
by my Congressional friends, collectively,
through an authorised and distinguished
member of Congress, to Gen. Jackson: that
their object won. by these " means of bar
gain and corruption," to exclude Mr. Adams
from the department of state, <\r to secure
my promotion to office) and, that I was
privy, and assented to those propositions and
to the employment of those means.
Such being the accusation and the prose
cutor, and the issue between us, I hav? now a
right to expect that he will substantiate his
charges by the exhibition of satisfactory evi
dence. In that event, there is no punish
ment which would exceed the measure of
my nfTence. In the opposite event, what
ought to be the judgment of the American
public is cheerfully submitted to their wisdom
nnd justice. II. CLAY.
Lexington, K.y. '29thJu:ic.
On rcptrusing the letter cf Gen. Jackson,
the public will see that Mr. Clay ha* artful
ly attempted to fatten on the General an ac
cusation which the General never made.
General Jackson no where say* or intimntcs
from himself that Mr. Clay was privy to the
information communicated by u friend to
General Jackson. Was such communica*
tion really made to the General? and who
m.idc it* To these questions General Jack
son is hound to reply: and he will do so. Let
the friend who made the communication ex
plain it; and we have no doubt lie will do so.

A TAK1FP LIE. !
From the A'. Y Actional Advocate. !
We have receivctl the following commu
nication from a gentleman formerly resident
in Charleston, and now in tills city, and give
publicity to it with pleasure.
To the Editor Actional Advorate.
Km?I ?end you an .extract of u letter I
have received from a friend In Charleston,
S- C. which is well calculated to counteract
the Utu hy/tocrltkai and prosing remark* of
the Immaculate editor of the P<?st, who may
find himself personified. hi the scriptures,
" at a well witltout witcr?duudi that aru
carried with a tempest, to whom the mist of
darkness is rcserved forever."
" 1 perceive by the paper* of votir city
that some of yr.nr newspnj?cr editors nre
making much display atnmt the anti-tai ilf
meeting of this city. It is generally the case
that thing* abroad are magnified into more
importance und consideration, than they re
ceive at home. .
" A* to the late anti-tarlfT meeting in
Charleston, its putative parent was also a
newspaper editor, and the sponsors at its
christening in the City Hall consisted princi
pally of a few emissaries from the ehambcr
of commerce, and were mostly Knglish and
Scotch merchants. 1 have understood from
information, (for I did not attend the meet
ing) that thcnumlnsr present was inconside
rable, a mere fraction ami fragment of our
population, and that their proetcdityf. were
pretty much ?uh*ilento and win eon. nt an>
rate, they t ontained nothing like an expres
sion of the public sentiment.
" The truth is, (1 have no doubt,) that tin
meeting was got up with a view to fwlltinil ?
effect.?ft is evident that th?! ?America! I
system' as it hn? been hrcherhj entled, (tin j
memorial of Col let .m district to the Contrary :
