Correspondence between the "President and Vice-President of the U. States, on the subject of the course of the latter, in the deliberations of the cabinet of Mr. Monroe, on the occurrences of the Seminole War." Calhoun discloses the correspondence in an effort to rectify, what he believes to be, politically motivated misrepresentations of his conduct in regard to "the Seminole question." Argues that the correspondence shows the different positions held by Calhoun and Jackson. Printed by Duff and Green.
