 However much the publication of the cor Irespondence between the President and Vice President may be regretted on some accounts, the attentive reader will not fail to perceive that it places the conduct and character of the President in higher and more enviable point of view than ever. His course through out is characterized by manly frankness and independence. Ithas been the very opposite of the trimming, insincere and Jesuitical plan of conduct, which Philadelphia print, (the National Gazette, has the boldness to avow ought to have been pursued. "The President ought to have admitted the explanations of MT Calhoun" says that paper,' Cor resolved 10 aftear content with them. If he could not reinstate him in his con6dence-if he remain ed distrustful of his sincerity and honor--he might and should have avoided any declara- tion of his sentiments, or suspended it until the period of his return to private life. .''- Such a course of policy, However well it might suit the candidates sfor office upheld by the Philadelphia journalist) would have been contrary to the open and honorable character of our chief magistrate. Without nnderta- king to pronounce upon the sufficiency of the evidence on which he has arrived at the con cusion that he has been treated with slnceri- ty by MT Calhoun, we cannot but applaud the steps he has taken under that persuasion.- Still it is mere personal difference, which can in no wise affect the political condition or interests of the country. With regard to the imputed motives of MT Crawford, in making the disclosures which he has, and his alledg- versies is altogether between Mir Calhoun and | himself \ * With regard to the Seminole war, some in- formation of a highly interesting character is now for the first time placed before the pub lie. The tenor of the private letter from General Jackson to MT Monroe, and the fact of its having remained unanswered, leaving him to infer that its suggestions met the ap- probation of the administration, is an impor- tant fact in considering the propriety of his construction of his orders. There can be nc doubt that General Jackson not only consider ed he was acting in pursuance of the wishes ot the Government, but that he was fully warranted, by current facts, in the nterpre- tation which he gave to the orders from the war department. While we do not think that there existed a sufficient occasion for the publication of this correspondence between MT Calhoun and General Jackson, we are de- cidedly of the opinion that it's tendency must be to correct erroneous impressions ofthe mo tives and conduct of the latter in formeryears and place him on still higher elevation 1T the estimation and affections of the people. It is true that the President and Vice Pre- sident have disagreed: what then? that is moi a.rebellion, or revolution; not so bad ever as nullJfcation. It cannot be perceived how it may immediately affect the great interest. of the country. General JACKSON is Presi dent and will remain so, in spite of MT GAL HoUN. Even MT CALHoUN's friends will be obliged to support him: or what follows?- They cannot go for MT CLAY because he is { tariff man, and to go for the tariff, would bt an abandonment of all principle; but the nut Hfer8 profess to be men of lofty feelings ant nice honor, ready at any moment to sacrifice interest for principle. They will therefore notwithstanding their sympathy for MT GAL, HouN, be obliged to identify themselves witt the cruse of the ssconstlirators," as MT CAL. HoUN affects to consider President JACKS ON. party.
 In fact, although this correspondence is to be regretted, yet it will not have any strong oi decided influence on the state of parties. Mi CALHOUN has been politically defunct for se veral years; and this correspondence cannot reanimate him. His friends may struggle desperately; but it will avail nothing: he can not organize party under his own name, nol can he add strength to any party to which he may attach himself.
