MORE TROORT.E.

Our readers VIII rec0llect that the late
correspondence between the President and
S. ID. Ingham, published in the Spy of July
"a, was closed by letter to the latter from
the private Secretary Of the President. In
consequence of that letter and of an article
which appeared in the Washington Globe,
by the authority and under the direction
of the President, MS is supposed, reply has
been written by the late Secretary of the
Treasury, in the form of letter to the
President of the United States. We have
no room for the letter, and our readers
must let the following notices of it, taken
chiefly from the National Journal and the
Providence Journal suffice for tie present !:
This document is written with unusiial per-
spicnity, dignity and force. The charges Which
it prefers against the President, are Of the grav
est and most important character, and they
will make deep and lasting impression upon
the public mind, for truth is apparent in every
line. 1t will be seen by this document, that in
addition to the former disclosures of the late
Secretary, touching the conduct Of Gen. Jack
son, and the tribe of evil councillors ty whom
he has surrounded himself, that Mr.. Ingham
snow charges him with duplicity and false
hood ! with secretly cherished hostility to him
while ono of tho official advisers Of the Presi-
dent with having been governed by con-
fidential political council or a most +" inhuen-
tial council" with credulty and imhecility
at once deplorabe and contemplate with pal.
pablo Inconsistencies and selfcontradictions
with misrepresentation ascribabe only to a
memory destroyed by dotage, or to intentional
perversions, in which even the appearance OF
selfrespect was scorned with having assigned
untrue reasons for the dsmission of his cabi
net with having offered Mr.. lngham The mis-.
sion to Russia, as q sop to reconcile Pennsyl.
vania, &c. &c. )" with having mind SO per.
verted as to be with difficulty approached by
truth with prevarcation in his treatment Of
Mr. Ingham's letter, on leaving Washington
TO him; with having attempted to shift from
his own shoulders on those of Mr.. Ingham the
responsibility of executing the criminal law oil
the District of Columbia; with having given
an assurance of protection to the witnesses
whom the late Secretary might summon, which
was in reality threat to deter them from APP
pearing; with gross and almost fabulous par
TALLY in that whole business with making
secret inquiries; with authorizing suspicious
and scrutinizng espionage with indecent so

Tho President, In his letter to Mr.. Ingham
said, that the better of Mr.. l. received on tn;
god juno, gave him the first information of the
difficulties between Mr.. Eaton and Mr.. lngham
This declaration is positive and direct Blu
what does Mr. lngham say on the subject? HI
positively declares, that he can show by posi-
tive testimony, that the President was a2prisct
of the difficulty anterior to that datc,--that HI
justified Major Eaton's meditated attack oil
him, and declared 10 one Of his deUOted friends
that it there was to be any more writing, i
would be in RED INK" This declaration
was made before the 22d of June. Mr.. Ing
says he can prove il so to have been mado-an
yet the President declares, that, anterior t.
that date, he knew nothing about the contro
vcrsy. If Mr.. Ingham proves his assertion
then must tho President stand convicted. TIL
people have been deceived by the Administra
zion, throughout the management of this Who'll
affair. DIR. Randolph was the bearer of a chal
ionge from Major Eaton TO Mr.. Ingham-th
President approved of the contemplated attac
on Mr. Ingham; and yet, for tho purpose Q
exhibiting moral virtues which he did not pos
scss, he compelled DR.. Randolph to resign hi
office, for being the bearer Of the challenge
What hypocrisy. what downright mockery
This course was necessary to cover appearances
The public has been imposed on. but DR.. Ran
do!ph will not suffer while tho President ha
other Offices to reward him with
