I beg leave to state, that the charges contained o Mr. Togham'’s letter, as far as they relate to me, are wholly untrue, 1 have had no partici- Cpation or agency, whatever, in the con- Ctroversy between Major Faton and Mer, Ingham. 1 have given neither aid nor Cguccour to Major Eatong nor any one for him, 1 have not sought Mre.

SMITILL T'o the President, Meo Randolph to the President, Wisinnaroy, 22d June, 1831, Sir—ln answer to your letter of this date, asking the extent of my participa fion in the controversy lately passed be tween AMr. Ingham and Major Faton, and how far 1 oam amenable to the charges made by Mr, Ingham against me, m his letter of yesterday, L have to reply, that I had no further ageney in the matter than is shown in the corres pondence between those gentlemen, as published in the Telegraph on Tuesday Jast, 1 was not with Major Faton more than ten minutes at any one time be tween 9 and 3 o’clock on Monday, on which day the clarge of a combination for the purpose ol assassinating Mr, Tongham is made by him against mie and others, 1 did not participate m, nor did I know of any design to attach My, Inghamm's residence as is charged by hitn, nor was 1 areed at any time dur ing the hours mentioned, having 1o ap prehension of danger from Mr, Ingham, or those “‘friends” whom he says sur rounded him, Major Faton was alone when he sought an interview with Mr., Inghamn, as will be shown by the cer tificates of two respectable individuals, ll(-slu-(-l."ully yours, P. G, RANDOLPIL ~ Upon these letters the Globe remarks: - “Mr. logham was himsclf the only accuser and witness to whom the Pre sident could refer, to make good the charges against the public officers; and it was very extraordinary that he should make an investigation necessary, and abandon the city betore the individu als charged could have an opportunity of convincing him, by proving the real state of facts, how much he had wronged them in lis suspicions.” | The letters of Messre. Campbell, Smith, and Lewis, are full gnd explicit e nough, and it is diflicult to account for the hallucinationofmr. Ingham by reason of which he saw so many men in buckram auits. T'o these letters Mr, Ingham, or his friends, must rejoin. As it regards the letter of” Dr. Randolph, however, it is evasive and contradictory, e denies the charge, becanse he was not with Maj. Eaton wore than ten ninules al any one lome beheeen nine and three o’clock on the day of the attcmpled assault! Now ten minutes alford ample time to “let the day light into a man’s gizzard,” as they say up the Salt River; and as between each ~of the ten miautes during which the Doc tor admits he was with the major, there need not have been more than a space of five minutes, it follows that in the five hours from nine to three, the two heroes might have been together four times an hour, or, twenty times in the whole.— Twenty men in buckram might have been ‘done for in such along game of dodging. But this ils not all. There is another passage in Dr. Randolph’s letter, which proves that if the author had not been born in Tenuessce he must first have scen day-light in Hibernia. Ile says:— : “Major Eaton was alone when he gsought an interview with Mr, Ingham, as will be shown by the certiticates of two vespectable individuals.” ; " Pat says in one of his poetical cpistles to his wife Judy—“Pm here all alone in a room full of men.” And Maj. Faton must have been alone in the same way, il he had two certificate makers with him to prove it by. - The following extract of a letter from Washington, upon this proud national sub- Ject, dated on Monday, is copied from the Baltimore Chronicle:— | ' “On Sunday, Dr. Pandolph, now act ing Secretary of War, and brother-in-law of Katon, called at Mr. Ingham’s house, and finding him in his study, he asked him i e tended to reply to Mr. Ea ton’s note? Mr, Ingham told lum in re ply that it was an improper day to call on such business; and that he would tuke his own time to reply to Major Eaton. Ran dolph then said, in a threatening manner, “Sir, Major Eaton will make you pay for this;” when Mr. Ingham showed him to the door. This morning, Mr. Inghamn replicd to Major aton’s challenge, and informed the Seerctary of War, that he understood the disgraceful part that he ( Katon) was to perform in the degrading farce that was now playmg betore the American people; but he answered him that no threat or bravado from him or a ny of his ereatures would make him do any thing inconsistent with that pity which he felt for the degradation, & that contempt which he entertained for the motives of the Seerctary of War, “This morning, Faton; Randolph, W, B. Lewis, Kendall, T, 1., Smith, John Campbelly and Dr, Jones, were seen as sembling at the Treasury Department: and it was soon ascertained that their ob- Ject was to attack Mr, Ingham as soon as hie came to his oflice. A messenger was posted in front to apprize them of his appronch, Col. Towson was informed that the mob had collected, He, youny Mr. Wolle, Mr. Maginnis, and =everal other gentlemen in the Treasury Depart ment repaived to Mro Togham’s house, informed him of what was going on, and accompanied him to his office. Faton and his party had posted themeelves in the Treasury Oflice and about the Yuild- g, Buat Ingham entered lns oflice un molested—-he was surrounded by hig fviends, and when Eaton came to recon dioitre, und saw the force ol the cnemy, particularly the stern countenance of the vahiant Towson, e declined an action for the present, and withdiew without in icting the “pay™ promised yvesterday by De. Randolph, De. Jones; Eaton, and Lewis, sturted to see the President, and report the progress ol the war, as well as a list ot the killed, wounded & missing.” - We have no room (says the N, York Spectator) for comment, this evening, upon this subject—even il the mind did not turn in disgust from the sickening theme. A grave and able review of the whole administrzation, from the com weneenent to the present hour, is much neceded, i which the character of Gen, Jackson’s appointments should be fully canvassed, and in a manner to command the confidence and belief of the people, They cansce from these late exhibitions, what sort of'men Gen, Jackson has cal- Jed round him, ©ad they should remem ber the Spanish proverh, that “a man s hnown by the company ke beeps.” But we have done for to-day. Aswe begun this article, so will we end it— Sl Columbia, happy land!™ MR . EATON'S LA'TEST. | From the Washington Globe, June 24 Mr. Bram—Towe it to myselfand to the cause ot truth to solicit the tuvor ot offering a few explanations through the Globe, A strange letter of Mr, Ingham is pub lished o your paper this morning.—lt charges me with a design to assassinaty him; and i having organized a conspir acy to accomplish it. Why did 1 not organize this band from the War, ruther than the Treasury Department,—-tor most of the gentlemen charged are of the lat ter! The public will noty I presume, vive credit to such an accusation, co ing from such a source. Wantonly in sulted by Mr, Ingham, with a view as | believed, to provoke an adjustment of our dillerence in an honorable way, [ adopted the course which evidently seem ed to be wvited by my adversary, and which appeared to be the only alterna tive that was left to me. I plead not guilty to this charge of conspiracy and meditated assassination, From the moment I perceived that Mr, Ingham was incapable of acting as be catne a man, 1 resolved to pursue that course, which was suited to the charac ter «f one who had sought difliculties, and shunned all honourable accountabil ity. 1 harboured no design upon the heart of one who had shown himsell’ so heartless, Having ascertained that his sensibilities were to be found only upon the surface, 1 meant to make tie proper application, : - Oun the 19th I notified him, that unless the cull 1 had made uffon hun, was promptly and properly answered, he miglt expect such treatment as I thought his conduct deserved. My note of the Qoth also advised him of my tention,— Accordingly it appeared matter of duty for me, to dissolve all connexion with the administration of the Government, TTow then ean Mr. Ingham suppose, that 1 would mvaolve those gentlemen in a dis graceful conspiracy against himj;—oue in which, as public officers; they, could not engage even it inclination had sanc tioncd! Their own characters are a suflicient answer to the accusation, un aided by their positive denial of'its truth. I did endeavor to meet Mr, Ingham, and settle our difference. Unattended by any one, I sought after, and awaited his appearance, during the aceustomed hours for business, openly and at places where he daily passeato hisoflice. He was not to be found. I passcd by, butat no time stopped at, or attecmpted to entex his house, nor to besiege it by day or night. I offer no statement here that is ‘ot susceptible of the clearest prool. | My note of the2oth was written with indignant feelings; and under strong ex citement; hence the reason why any ref erance was made to a female, 1 regret it; although the letter was a mere pri vate notice to Mr. Ingham, and was so intended. By me, it never was design ed to meet, or ever would have met the public eye. Respectlully, xe. | J. H. EATON. i We learn from a gentleman who aec companicd My, Ingham as far as Balti more, that he was in good health and spirits, unscathed and unscared; through the accounts of the assaults meditated upon him, with arms and munitions of’ war, so far from being exaggerated; are confirmed to their full extent; and others are given showing that such another af fair was contemplated as took place Nashville, in times not beyond the mem :nr)' of man, of which a particular account was given by Senator Benton. !
