We have already, expressed our opinions az freely
and fully OF these transactions though 1t
saTy We are willing 10 leave il 70 the principal
Ties concerned 10 exeupaIe themselves or carry III
war into the enemies country. We shall feel our.
selves bound TO give every thing which the Parties
may think fl 10 lay before the pu6c.-On ht prin.
eiple We present them with Mr.. Inghams Speech to
his fellow citizens at homo. We shall leave il to MIR
Eaton to clear his own skirts of the charges which
MIR. lnghem has urged against him and his friends
particularly as to the medated night attacks which Mr.
| l. has more freely developed in his speech. We leave
it also to Mr.. L. or the Telegraph to show, whether il
was not Major Eaton alone, who was TO make the on.
slaught upon hm-whether two men can form
ga conspiracy whether threatened and open attack
can be called assassination; how far the real crcumstan
ces OF the case, required two lines of defence tc
be drawn up, three persons 10 each, Mr. Inghani
more udicrousiy than discreev described the ARRAY
OF batte.-Or how far Mr.. Ingham is now excused
from producing witnesses to corroborate his own
unsupported accusations II is for the Telegraph "a
show, how Major Smith can be held liable for the
"charge" of Major Eaon's lDgy-Iaying Mr.. Ingham in
his) Smith's) Office, when il appears that Eaton was
there only twice, and ''eac time he came alone and did
not remain more than ten nnuieS' We leave il also IL
the Telegraph TO itself for ascrbing an extract
letter addressed to ourselves Ga premonition il 4
pleased TO term iD 10 ''AIaj S. or Mr. Campbell" wher
1t was written by neither OF these gentlemen With IL
usual discretion, it declares that Major s. is "actve in
wiring letters to Mr.. RI when we have never receiv.
ed single letter from that gentIoman.-Whe it also
charges MIR. Campbell with writing one letter which
nc never wrote, the Telegraph, with It's usual sense oil
Justice passes over private letter which he did write
to us-because that letter expressly disspacs on,
oil MIR. Green's insinuaons. off Mr.. Campbell (say
he) could, in truth have denied the fact stated b,
MIR. Ingham, would he have passed it over? III
would not He admits that he saw Major Eaton
IN an accidental meeting Of that morning; but he ha
not told where he saw him. He saw him in hi
room, and whilst Major Eaton was there lying il
wait Now Mr. c. in his letter to us, which was un

One word more to the Editor OF the Telecraph-We
ought TO be obliged to him for his advice not 10 rely or
the 0plnlOnS derived from such quarter mir C0 How.
ever honestly entertained, they should be received nm
der many allowances, the quotation we give will
prove We ought, as in duty bound, TO thank him fol
this adyce-bu knowing hir. c., az we have done In.
tmaely for twenty years. we know his high honor and
Intelligence too well not TO despsc such grauous and
ridiculous pTemonition We would however "a /,
duty bound, return the obligation and we advise the
Editor OF the Telegraph, not TO repeat its pledges sup
port to Gen. Jackson, which il has once so shameruv
Vioated-o surrender the Office which he has obtained
by pledges which he has sacrificed 10 his PASSIONS and
never to palm off Correspondent upon the Old Do
minOn, who Is disgrace to the columns of any ne
paper When the Telegraph has thus regaiaed It's cha
Tacter, we shall know how TO "rey on tho opinions de-
rived from such quarter"
These late scenes at Washington, however, win re-
concie the Public, as much any thing else can do
to the dissolution of the Cabinet When we sec the re-
sentiment OF Messrs Eaton and ngham so long pent up
pouring Itself forth in such vindctive esouS who can
regret the breaking up Of the Cabine Who could ~ s
10 keep men together, who so far aenasd from
each olher! Who could expect any united plan any con-
ceIted colnseIs, from such discodan materials? The
pubic interests must have Ultimately suffered from, ucb
feelings. What one Secretary may have proposeJ. ano-
'her was likely TO oppose But admit that these FEELINGS
were partly produced by the relations of the parties 10
MIS- Eaton, does it therefore follow that was refusal
TO associate with her, which caused the breaking nm of
thrce o. the Secretaries? Was It not the want of liar
lnoly between them, originating partly in private
Puaei' ana partly IN another cause; viz the Opposing
