Very respectfully, JNO. II. MALLORY. Jackson, Jan. 28, 1836.

Sir Were you present when a conversation was held by the Hon. Robert J. Walker and Joshua Murray, Esq. in relation to a report which had been circulated, charging some friend of Mr. with having offered Murray a bribe, to sustain the election of Mr.

Walker; and if so, please state what was said on the subject. Very respectfully, Your o'bt. servant, JNO. II. MALLORY.

The Hon. Wat. Van Norman, Member of the Senate. Jackson, Jan. 28, 1836.

Sir In your note of this morning, wishing me to state, whether I was tocit'on of these banks at proppor points, ill distribute capital pretty equally droughout the State and reader the remo- a single dollar; and who calculate with a good deal of accuracy, no doubt, on cancel bribe to vote for Mr. Walker. You say you never authorized the charge directly brought against my character; and here, perhaps, the matter should rest between us. But you do not content yourself with a categorical answer to my question, but proceed to tell a long cock-and-bull story about a certain conversation which you say took place between us. Indeed, sir, such a conversation as that which you relate, never did take place ia the manner you mention; and it would-be surely deeply discreditable to both of us, as well on the score of intelligence as integrity, to have indulged in such a colloquy.

I really had always heretofore recognized you as you describe yourself, as being an honest man; and if I had been capable of offering-a bribe to any individual under any circumstances, surely I should not, with my former opinion of-you, have had recourse to yourself. But, indeed, sir, I am not only incapable of the baseness of attempting to influence legislative votes by bribery, but am absolutely without the means to carry so corrupt a scheme into effect. As to what you say about my boasting ling their promisories with political opinion, NOTICE hereby given to all persons interested in the estate of Shaderick Easterly dee'd, that as ad ri jf the Natchez bank to this place inex- Ye believe theru is not mora Men who talk: most about bribery are ma very the time, with some white on the right bind foot, no other marks recollected. If the horse should hnve strayed up to Madison county, he will be known, as it is the horse that Col. Williamson ran there several times.

Ate ward of ten dollars will be given for the delivery of the horse to the subscriber in Jackson, and all charges paid; or any inforiration given to me about him, sa that I can wnKing capital in Natchez than is necessa-7 to ths successful r.arrvinrr oit nf the com- men capable. of resorting to such means to accomplish their designs; and we give it as our opinion, that if one hundred thousand dol- toercial ops-ration of Adams counly.
