From the National lntelligencer of Saturday. :,
TO THE PUBLIC.

Circumstances beyond my control
have placed me under the necessity of
presenting myselft to your notice. as
sert no claim to your attention, which does
not belong equally to every free citizen
of the Republic. But ask, and l feel
that l have right to expect, your can
did consideration Of this address. Its
subject is one OF awakening interest to us
all. The position in which find myself
has nothing inviting in it. Ii is one
which have not sought, but which has
been forced upon me, and one in which
| am called upon to vindcate not mysel II
merely, but the cause of truth, and the
best and dearest interests of the commu-
nifty, at hazard to which fatuity alone
could be insensible.
The Misrepresentation of public
journal, protesting to speak the language
Of the President of the United States, &
published under his eye, have presented
to me the alternative, of submitting to an
imputation, alike dishonoralIe and un-
founded in fact, or of meeting the issue
which has been rendered to me under
the alleged authority ofthat high officer.
If | do not shrink from this unequal strife,
it is because | have a confidence which
has never wavered, in the intelligence of
my countrymen, firm and mistaken re-
lance in the justice Of that tribunal,
whose high prerogative it is at all times,
and under all circumstances, to vindicate
the cause oftruth.
have studiously abstained from any
effort to excite public feeling in relation
to the dissolution OF the late Cabinet. l
have felt that the question ofits propriety
was one, the decision of which belonged
alone to the American People. Person
ally ! have not been disposed to deny the
right of the President to exercise his own
free will, as well in the change, as in the

effects, and produced this result.
You require of me to correct the error
Of my declaration, predicated on the in
formation which Col. Johnson commune
Gated TO me, upon the ground That have
no authority to use the evidence which
establishes the fact. The testimony
which / have in my possession, under
Col. Johnson's hand, satisfies me thor
oughly of the truth of the assertion !
have made, and therefore, will not aG-
init it to be an error. Nonr exception
to the use have made of his testimony,
may be applicable as censure upon my
course But | consider, that cIrcum-
stances fully justify that course, and
am only responsible to Col. Johnson for
my conduct in relation to his letter. Your
objection to the authority under which
have acted as to Col. Johnson's evil
dence does not, in the least, change the
nature Of that evidence. 1t is as con-
vincing as it could be under full authori-
ty to use it, and probably more so than
evidence purposely prepared for the
ublic eye.
| You seem 70 think that ] am bound to
publish, on my own account, the cores
pondence between Major Eaton and
yourself, because I have used a para
graph having exclusive reference to the
President. dc not think so. | will
have nothing to do with the controversy
between Major Eaton and YOURSELF
You have right to bring that subject
before the public in any way you please,
and on your own responsibility. | will
not hesitate to print it, or any part you
may choose to embody, in the disc ussion
with me.
closed my last note to you, by an IN
timation that it would conclude our cor
respondence. did so because the is
sue between us depended altogether up
on the verify of the statements l had
made, contradicting assertions in the
Telegraph, for which | did not know
that you were responsible. When you
volunteered to question my statements, l
laid before you frankly the ground on
which l acted; and then, in a second
letter, brought to your view the proof on
which, as to myself, 1 was willing to rest
the issue. But as you seem inclined to
make, through me, an attack on the Pres
ident, and to use the correspondence on
which you entered Certainly withou,
being called for by any thing | said, as
TO yourself) as the medium of bringing
on general discussion ofthe question OF
the dissolution Of the late Cabinet, shall
certainly sacrifice my inclination to what
you consider my duty. My reluctance
TO continue the correspondence with you
proceeds from no want of respectto you
But believe the public is sick of the
subject; is satisfied with the dissolution
Of the old Cabinet, and the formation OF
the new one; and this induced the incli-
nation have evinced, to spare the coun-
try the disgust Of the dissection of a sub
ject, which it seems willing to bury. AT
all events, the progress we have made
will be sufficient for one lecture. Ifyou
think fit, we will resume it again.

position Of the sort, will appear from the
extract which l make from letter Of
your Own, now before me. After re-
capitulating conversation Of your own,
held with Col. Johnson, (the tenor Of
which you inform me is to be adjusted
between you and him. you make this
single remark in relation to the Presi-
dent:
SIN the interpier to which Imas inrited
by the Presidtnt, some .fc,o days after
~ards, IfrankIy rrposed to him my ricaos
on this subject, and he dsrlaimed 0ny dis
position to press such a requjsition."
In this you have allusion to the written
declaration read to you by the President,
which can bear no other Interpretation
than that which you have given it in this
extract.
In both the points presented by me, in
the extract quoted in your last note, l
feel myself fully sustained by the docu-
mentary evidence, which now Law be-
fore you and | trust you will also con-
slider il as fully vindicating the statement
which have made. Having thus justi-
fled myself, you will permit me to con-
clude my correspondence with you.

| could not have had allusion to writ
ten declaration which had never seen
or heard of.
You will perceive then, Sir, that you
are wholly unsustained in all the points
ofyour statement, except by declaration
which you admit that you have used
without authority, and which will be met
if it becomes necessary. AS faithful
journalist, you will, Of course, seize the
occasion to correct your error. You
can, no doubt, do this, in relation to the
paper Oh which you have placed so much
reliance, by direct appeal to the Pres
ident, who will not, | think, authorize
the statement that that paper was ever
shown to me. However this may be,
bear this testimony to the truth. :Nei-
ther inviting controversy, nor seeking

ton, in which must either speak, or si-
lently permit the public to be misled.-
