Excerpt from The Affidavit of Andrew Jackson: Taken by the Defendants in the Suit of Robert Mayo Vs Blair Rives for a Libel, Analysed and Refuted By a careful examination of the following documents, [a] and [c], with the respective actions on them, [b] and [d], the reader will perceive how each of the former is virtually falsified in the two latter, and set at naught by the President. To assist in this comparison, I will only here make a single general remark in relation to document [a], that no exami nation of witnesses had been made, to my knowledge, to justify the President in saying, in document [b], that no facts had been established, and he was induced to believe the circumstances communicated to him were erroneous. And in relation to document [c], that its prayer did not ask for the removal of any one, as he more than insinuates in docu ment [d], but submits the statements for such disposition as to his excellency might seem fit and proper, &c. In fine, I shall ever be of opinion that the documents [a] and [c] were entitled to a more efficient action but the reader can only appreciate the entire mer its on a future perusal of the whole of the documents.
