Mr.. INeHAM's LETTER---We are under the ne

other long letter from Mr.. Ingham, TO the exclu.

dissolution of the late Cabinet, the people pener

the individuals who have been called to the differ

community feel towards further investigations Of
the supposed motives OF General Jacksof--th.,
are both satisfied that there was a want of nron.,.

Mr.. Ingham may have proved, he has certainly
shown, beyond dispute, that he Is very different
