w Wi point out Ills occurrence, 70 witch MI. Ber-
il-n Al ud.s. in his words. He ssys;
"Admi ting that sufficient, atonement had been made
for the ndgnity offered by the message sent through
Col Johnson, there was perpetual liability TO the re-
currence OF similar outrage believed 1t, therefore,
TO be my duty retire My friends thought Otherwise,
and my sense of what the in crest OF Georgia at
that particular crisis required Induced me TO repress my
feelings
Here he refers to the 'indisnty' the outrage offer
ed by the message through Col Johnson, 10 which II
would seem from this passage he would persuade the
public 10 believe ten porary motives with regard to
the interests of Georgia only induced him 10 submit
while tie particular crisis required. his crisis had
passed, and Mr.. Bereh would still have believe
that he remembered he udguity the outrage through
Col Johnson and he waited only "urlil his return
ashiugon would enable him dissolve This
ton with the President" lie returned them resolved TO
resign sunless the President could place the retire
ment OF his colleagues ON other grounds than those
ichich he believed had OccdsiOntd IT." Well, Mr.
Beren returned and remained several days in the city,
without proposing TO resign The President made no
eXplana ions TO place the retirement OF Mr. Berrens
col eagues on other grounds than those which he
be ieved had occasioned il - The President made no
effort satisfy MIR. Berrien that he made the
organization OF his abnet depend OH any oth er
than that TO which MIR. Berrien would
crlbe it, The circumstance therefore left in io
which, according Mr.. Berritn's declaration his
Georgia friends ed "the utter impossibiy OF his
continuance IN the Cabinet"
Now let us if MIR. Bcrrien puts his resignation
upon the cutter npossbiliy OF his con inuance in the
Cabinet declared in his address. In his letter OF
resignation. he takes directly opposite position from
that assumed in his late publication See what differ
story he tells in the following extract from that let
teri!
''ihere was no hing in the retire ment of the Score
taie of State and OF War; or in the distinct and per
sonal considerations which they had assigned for lh
treasure, which made it obligatory upon, pro-
per for me 10 adopt similar course. Such step will
any reference TO that occurrence, could only become
my part act OF conformity to your will. You
had felt ID Sc
crearics of the Treasury aud OF the Navy respectively
had right expect SINH az communication of them
and cOnormId TO the wishes and opinion OF my fellow
ci'zens Of Georgia, when determined to await H."
In this we that so far from telling the Presiden
,uniess he could place ME reuremen. "f us Colleague
on Other grounts Than those WHICH he beIsSed I'D
10 performed only in conformity TO his will lie TELL
him moreover that he express declaration made in tn
correspondence with the Secretaries of the Treasury S
Navy, that he mean, to re-org2nize his whole Cabine
proper, would not serve him. The President he says
hid expressed his wishes this subject TO these gen
temen respectively and he 'conformed 10 the wishes
and opinions OF (his fellow citizens of Georgia. wheI
he determined TO await direct application to him Il
resgnm How is ths MIR. Berrien? You told your fel
low citizens OF Georgia. that il utter mpossi
bity' expect you TO continue, unless the Presiden
made certain explanations 10 you and vet you tell him
nothing short oil an express declaration Of his will
would induce you 10 give up your appointment Nay

From Mr. Inghau.'s new devsiOpDeD', IL will he seeD
that ES Secretary IUgbam il De etmDeJ 10 destroy
the character OF The President, both at home ard

Audi'oI-nsy, almost every Cncionary brought into
the Departments by the Presdeut--iD dessD 10 rs
him, nd pointed out their several Offices 40
the siaceI where they lying IN wait perpe'raie
this horrible purpose. H. GOV seeks TO impcat, the
PRECEDENT, himself directly by pretending that he had
resolved 20 offer an iDdgHy TO foreign power, not
only by sending away foreign Minister" but also

We have 10 the public, that this statement is

PRECEDENT but erroneous in all the particulars which
