THE LAST DEMONSTRATION OF
MR. JN(sITAM

This gentleman has published another let
ter written TO HE President. He does not
give the pote TO which it purports to be re-
suonse. Nor does be wait to receive an an
swer, so anxious is he to make something Of
his conspiracy. He publishes bis letter at
once, that the public may see his wiling
ness 10 return, "4githout delay to the Seat o
Government to cave legal investigation Of
this transaction before tribunal having pow
er TO examine and compel the attendance of
Witnesses He could not wait the arrival
OF the mail which would bring him lntelh-
gence of the Presidents return TO the city,
because he knew that it would also bring
him the reply which was in fact, on the way
to him when he ushered his letter to the pub
lie Whether his letter had been received OF
not bv the Observation-Disclosures the response
required by it would make Immediate publ

slider Mr. inghams first letter was, we I'M
derstsnd, published before it reached The
hands of the President-so 1t appears from
the beginning that this private correspon-
dence was meant as an attack upon the Pre-
sident by Mr. Ingham, and was designed as
an address altogether to the public. The Pre-
sident has, therefore, we think, very proper
w given him the information he seemed to
ask. through his Private Secretary, Mr.. Trst,
declining any further correspondence with
him.
The course which Mr.. 1ogham has pursu-
ed towards The President, is one, which, we
think, will not meet the appreciation of the
public 10 which he appeals The President
gave him one Of the most distinguished pla-
cess 10 his administration, because 1t was sup
posed to be the wish of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Ingham accepted the appointment, with the
full knowledge that Major Eaton was to be
his colleague. No sooner Is has commission
safely in his pocket, than he joins Mr.. Cal
houn's friends in the effort to drive Major
Eaton out of the Cabinet He, in effect, tells
the President, tha, he has associated in his
counsels an individual who is a blot upon his
administration Why did not Mr.. ingham
think of this before he took the office in con
junction with such an individual
The President, with an elevation honora-
BE 10 his character, thought fit to overlook
the implied insult offered to himself, and
sought only 10 reconcile the difficulty in his
Cabinet. 1t was made ostensibly, by those
originating it, altogether an affair of the fe
males Of their families. It was said, that
with regard 10 Major Eaton, they entertain
ed the hsst feelings, and could unite IN per-
feet harmony. FMS was all the President
required fie was wiling TO trust to such
protestations, but declared his determination
to have union and mutual confidence among
the members Of biz Cabinet; this was at the
threshold of The difficulty.
At the succeeding session of Congress.
meetings of the friends of Mr.. Calhoun took
place, with view of addressing the Rrsi-
dent TO remove Maj Eaton from his coun-
tsls. Mr. Van Buren, was next embraced in
the denanclation. Arrangements were made
in Congress to embarrass the measures of
the administration in that body The Cal
houn Telegraph and the Ingham Sentinel e
yieed their disa.iecton The appointment

horrible plot Wien this issue was nadt
