PATRICK HENRY DARBY, Ese
SIR. With this note you will receive the Rich
mond Enquirer, containing letter, from elk Grun-
DIV, Esq. to General Jackson and the generals
answer.
This answer, imagine, you will peruse with some
degree of surprise; it seems to be intended, and
it will be understood, by the generals friends at
least, as full and complete denial of statement
which has been long circulated and generally credit
ed of his having threatened to use personal vio-
lence upon Senator of the United States, for his
official conduct IN the investigation of the history Of
the Seminole war.


You will unquestonably recollect, that in the
casual conversations which have passed between us.
touching the character of Gen. jackson, this subject
has been more than once alluded to.-lfI have not
misunderstood your remarks, in more ofthese
conversations, YOU have mentioned that Gen. Jack
son himself in giving an account of the occurrence
at Washington at the period in question, informed
you personally that 1t his intention TO hare made
an attack upon the person Of Mr.. Eppes, then Send
tor from Virgiaia with the threatened purpose Of cut
ting his off!


| That may be enabled to state what the General
has said upon this subject. upon former occasions,
in more authentic shape than the repetition of com
mon conversations, ask the favour of you, to in
form me, by letter. what threats or avowas you have
| heard Gen. Jackson make of the nature above de-
scrbed.


1t is admitted that the giving of public statements
of such private conversations when not conf
dental, may be considered as matter of some de-
licacy but am at the same time aware that con-
sideraons cf mere delicacy will weigh but little
with you against the right of the people, to be put
lin possession of correct information of men and
things, at crisis like this


! am sir, respectfully,


Your obedient servant


]. G.. DANA.
