YOU 'hat he mad changed his ground"And Col. j. in.
Inmates that the celebrated paper which the President
hau prepared containing the principles upon which he
Intended to act which discanned the right 70 interfere
with the social relations of his cabinet,' was in fact
read TO Col j. before his first interview with Mr. Ing
ham.Mr j. says that in his interview with The pre-
sident, he waived such requston. Mr. Berrien saws
he did not pressit upon him-The whole matter then
rests between Col Johnson and the Ex-Secretaries--
the President himself is acquitted by Col j. himself of
having dictated any such requisiion Away then goes
all the stun and misrepresentation, which have been
so eagerly rung through the country for the last three
weeks-Mr Ingham. the soured and vindctive witness,
Is ulsproved by the testimony of Johnson and a jack
son cleared oil every asperson which he has been
anxious TO throw upon him.

had required an etiquette intercourse TO be maintained
with Mrs Eaton yet the ca met not dissolved be-
fore April, lS3l-During all that time no controversy
was revived about Mrs Eaton; no pretepce, that any
such requson was in the mean time made by the Pre-
sident-Not whisper of it, at the lime OF the dissolu.
