The National Intelligencer, in publishing the
Letter OF Mr.. lNeHAM, Representative in Con-
gress from Pennsylvania, on the subject of the in
cidens of the late Election of President by the
House Of Representatives, makes the following re
marks, in which We heartily agree. We desire
to see this jarring at an end. 1t is high time it
al an end, unless the controversy in regard to the
last election OF President is intended be kept open
with a view to the next. 1t it be so intended, it
shall have none Of our aid. There are other things
In the political world, worth caring for, besides the
election OF President; and readers. arc
sure, will be unanimously in favor OF respite from
angry and booess contention, that in the interval
greater attention may be paid to the substantial in.
terests OF the country, than be- so long mems
minds are occupied with personal politics and con-
tentons,'

Navy in the affair was with the previous knowledge
and appreciation of the late President; that the
letters addressed by the Department 10 the Commo-
Jore were all submitted to bis inspection, and that
the President throughout assumed, IN The most IN
eouiyocal manner, the responsibility OF the whole
affair. The Deposition goes also TO exonerate the
Secretary from all manifestation OF personal rnmity
towards Commodore P. and declares his own re-
spec, and regard for him. When Commodore
Porter, after his recall and after the expiration Of
Mr. fonroes term of Office, expressed wish to wait
on the President il was declincd under the belief
that. as a private individual, it did not become Mr..
M. TO take any part whatever in the pending affair
(as he appears to think he might have done by re-
ceivne the visit OF Commodore P.) but submit the
whole case to his successor in Office. The visit oil
Comm P. to him was declined, on this ground,
and Comm. p. wrote an answer explanatory OF the
views with which he had sought the interview.
Both these letters are couched in terms OF the
most friendly personal regard. Previous TO his
leaving Washington, Mr.. .uonroe caused copy OF
them to be deposited in the Office Of the Secretary
OF the Navy. In explaining his views and feelings
when sending ont the squadron for the suppression
Of piracy the Ex President declares it TO have been

The Philadelphia Freeman's Journal speaks ex-
ultingly Of the arrest OF the Colonel Lieut.. Colo
mel, and Major, of one of our Regiments of Art-
lery, on the fourth Of July. The Journal however,
does not understand the subiect--The officers
were not all arrested on that day, nor was the
charge for " unoffcer- like conduct" They were
arrested for disobedence Of orders. The difficulty
has arisen in consequence Of the order of the Cora
mander in Chief, for consolidating the Infantry bat
talons Of the brigade--an order which the Third
Regiment refused to obey and we believe they are
taking measures for contesting the legality OF that
order. The reason that Regiment was not allowed
to parade in line on the 9TH, the employment oil
