He must have indeed a very poor opinion of Mr. Calhoun’s sagacity, who can believe, tor a moment, that be was ignorant of this conspiracy against hia. He was perfectly well acquainted with tne waole scheme, motives, means, actors ard objects; and long before the curtain rore, knew what was going on behind it, and often spoke of it, ia advance, as the “ sscond actot the play.” The controversy with Jackson was originally gotten up through Mr. Van Buren’s direct agency, end for ‘iv spe .ial bens- fit. Whether General Jacksor, malitia precogitata, participated in the ends, as well as the means, is & question tha’ may be pos'poned for she present. Bo this as it msy, no one can now doubt wast were the real objects of the intrigue, or hesitate to demoanss it as uterly infamous. The chief actors, both re- warded aod unrewarded, feel the justice of the popu: lar jadgment, and are laburieg wich the ardor and impotence of Nessus to get rid of the burning gar- meat, Mr. Van Buren’s famous “‘retiracy” letter—as it ‘was called at the tims—was but the projogue to this “gecond act of the play.” It was well known, b> fore the dissolution of the cabiuet, to which it was designed to lead, that he was to bo sent, not into “ yetiracy,” which he feigued to desize, but to the Court of S*. James. The whole matrer had been ar ranged and distinctly usderstuod before the “re- tiracy” letter made 118 appearance. He was to be made the executive nominee for the Vice Presidenc; —as a preliminary stev to the Prasidency—to whicl office, as his moet confidential friends, with charac- teristic vulgarity, declared ha muat be clected, “by hook or by crook.’ fo this ead the programme ‘Was ¢rawn up, and all the movements aud manca- vres of the campaign marked out with consummate dexterity. In conversing with Mr. Cathoun on the subject, he remarked, with his usual qutet smile, “Well, that they are unprincipled ‘here cau ba no doubt; but this, also, must be said of thom, that, for men of their capacity, they are the most skilful, cunning and adroit managers the world ever saw.” Nor did he overestimate th:ir talents, at least in this case. They had already succeded, througa the agency of well paid newspapers, ia prodaciag a retty geteral impression amongst the party taat r. Van Buren wes beginning to be quite a perse- cuted msx; and the more ciesrly Mr. Calhoun vin- dicated himself against tie false aad fout charges of his assailants, the more persecutsd Mr. Van Barea became; ard the more wrathtal General Jackson. Nay, they rose tosuch @ point of effcontery at last as to declare, through ir prepared chaunela of communication with the public, that Mr. Calhoun had bimeelf_gotien up the quarrel, with the view of “persecutivg Mr. Van Barea, and driviag General ackson from the Presidexcy, in order to make way for himself; and, finally, that, to avoid these parae- cations, Mr. Va Buren was compelied to leave the Cabinet, and go iuto retizacy! Still, with sume, who had not been stultified by their newspapers, the facts seemed to be strangely travestied in order to support such a conclusion; and jo put the mat- ter at rest forever it was doterminef to take Mc. Van Buren ont of retiracy, and send him, in ali haste, to Loudon. The nomination wust needs come before the Senate, when they weli knew that they couid either have him rejected, or compel his opps tents, by confirming the nomination, to proclaim his innocence of all participation in tae pio’, and to exdorge both his character and qualifications geme- rally. The first would clearly prove that he was persecnted, and the second, that he had been. Tha first, however, a Mr. Benton virtually acknowledges, w2s his plan, and that on which he placed the most reliance. 1t was to prove 9 mide to biow all his op- ponents “sky higo”—s real guapowder scheme, to destroy, en masse; aod no ore now doadts who was to perform the part of Guy Fawkes. An ianate love of what ail bonest men detest, has drawa out ae confevsion without the application of the tor- ure.

It was not until 80! weeks atter the commencement of the session “het the precise line of operations was de— termined on. They had to comnt noses—as the phrese i:—a business in which long practive and unb!usbiug prodigacy had msds them the most ac- complished adepts. On iuil consultation, it was decided to be unsefe to allow the rejectim to go by a simple majority vote; as, in that case, though thsrank and file might be killed off, the chief object of their machinations might escape unburt. The Vice Presi- dent could not vote unless there was a tie, and might, therefore, pass unacatned. This would nei- ther satisty their ambition nor their veugeance. He had crossed Gen. Jackson's path, and thwarted hia passions and predeli:tions, and no ons who knew bim need be told that saca an offence admit- ted of ne atonemeut— For where his frown of hatred darkly fell, Hope withering fled, and merey sighed—farewell. They, therefore, determined to drag him in person to the altar—te compel him to vote, and thered: cut offall hope of escape, They knew him too wel to doubt what what would be bis course; knew that no party policy, no personal or political considera- tions Under aeaven, could make him shrink from the discharge of bis duty. His very integrity insured his destiuction; and with the spiri: of demons they deliberately deteriained to vindicate the cause of vce, by making him the victim of ais own virtaes. Tem: ic" that, when they bad succeeded, after many weeks of lapvilows Manipulation, in securing the tie vote, the chief manager must have felt, if he Gid not utter the exulting exclamasion of the assas- sin Ravailloe, when he saw Henry IV. enter the fata) carriage—‘‘I have you! yoo are lost!” In the meanwhile the object of their nefarious and vindictive machinations was atterly ignorant of their final determination. We conversed together, al- most daily, on the subject; bat n> allusioa what ever was made to his vote. Both pony that the nomination would be rejected; and our discourse turned on the probable consequen es waich migat ensue, Beiog well convinced from the firat, of tue object of the nominetion, avd believing that the scheme was very adroitly mavaged, and would, if it sueceeded, be attended with disastrous consequen ces, morally and politically, I was extremely solici- tous to cee it detested, by alowing the nomination to pass, as the leaser of the two evils; aua with this view, ventured to suggest the propriety of some of the State rights party voting for it. To this, when urged with some earnestness, during ons of our con- vervations, he ssid with some vivacity aud emphasis —I will have nothing to do wita it. My friends must act on their owa sense of duty. His rejection Mmay,as you think, elect him Vice President; but, if #0, it wii ba the tault of the people, not of me or my friends. I know very well what tney aim at, but they may caiculete too largely on the p»pular ignorance. A‘ all events, each Sonstor must act upon bis own conscientious convictions of duty.” Lobserved, in reply, that I did not think they had underrated the popular intelligence; tha: the pec- ple were in the tiammels of their leaders, and kuow nothing of what was going on, except what reached them through tbe colamns of pensioned presses under the control of the administration; and that I feared the worst if the nomination should be reject- ed. He answered by saying, in substance, that the facts, if true, and to the extert I supposed, could not, in the slightest degree, affect the question— Der ought they to influence the conduct of Senators; and I ehould not a; have spoken to him in tion to the matter, had I not been informed, a few days afterwards, of the scheme to compet bim to give the casting vote.
