 General Jackson to Afr Calhoun.

 May 30th, 1880

 SIR: Your communication of the 29th inst. was handed me this morning just as l was going to church, and of course was not read until returned.

 Iregret to find that you have entirely mis- taken my note of the 18th instant. There IS no part off which calls in question either your conduct or your motives in the case al7 luded to. Motives are to be inferred from actions, and judged of by our God. It had been intimated to me many years ago, that it was you, and not MT Crawford, who had been secretly endeavoring to destroy my rel putation. These insinuations indignantly repelled, upon the ground that you, in all your letters to me, professed to be my persohal friend, and approved entirely my conduct in relation to the Seminole campaign. l had too exalted an opinion of your honor and frankness, to believe for one moment, thai you could be capable of such deception. Un- der the influence of these friendly feelings, (which l always entertained for you,) when was presented with a copy of MT Craw- ford's letter, with that frankness which ever has, and hope ever will characterize my conduct, considerable it due to you, and the friendly relations which had always existed between us, to lay it forthwith before you, and ask if the statement in that letter could be true. Irepeat, I had a right to believe that you were my sincere friend, and, until now, never expected to have occasion to say of you, in the language of Cesar, Eftu Bru- te. The evidence which has brought me to this conclusion is abundantly contained in your letter now before me. In your and MT Crawford's dispute have no interest what ever; but it may become necessary for me hereafter, whenI shall have more leisure, and the documents at hand, to place the sub ject in it's proper light; to notice the histori- cal facts and references in your communca- tion, which will give very different view Of this subject.

 It is due to myself, however, to state that the knowledge of the Executive documents and orders in my possession, will show con clusively that I had authority for all l did, and that your explanation of my powers, as declared to Gov Blob, shows your own un- derstanding of them. Your letter to me of the 2eth, handed to-day. and now before me, is the first intimation to me that you ev- CT entertained any other opinion or view of them. Understanding you now, no further communication with you on this subject is ne- cessary. 1 have the honor to be very re- spcctfully, your most ob't serv't

 ANDREW JACKSON.
