E'SsHIEK'HCAHI.

In our columns, this morning, will be found an in
tercsling correspondence between Committee of
the Republican Members of the New York Iecis-
laure and the President of the United States rcla
ing to the recent rejection of Mr.. Van Buren,.
The letter of the Committee breathes that fcrvid
spirit which anmates the friends of the President
from one end of the Union TO the other; and it can
not be read by those friends without exciting i'm Them
anew glow Of enthusiasm in defence of our Injured
Chief Magistrate and prosecuted statesman.
The letter of the President is characteristic of
hilNsclE Instead of shrinking from responsibility,
like aman6uvring politician and suffering his Min
lister and friend TO sink beneath the blows of Il con
lition of interested men, no steps forward and as
sumes upon himself the acts which have been so
bitterly denounced, and justifes them before his
country.
Ii will he remembered, that tho two branches OF
the Opposition in the Senate presented different rca-
sons for their votes against Mr.. Van Buren,. The
Webster and Clay division rested their votes upon
the alleged degradation of the country in the nsruc
tons given to Mr.. McLane by Mr.. V. BLrcn, which
resulted in the recovery of the direct trade with the
British West Indies. The Calhoun auxiliaries rest
ed their votes upon the alleged intrigues of Mr. v
Buren,, alternating the mind of the President from
the Vice President and producing the disruption of
the Cabinet.
How completely does this letter of the President
put to flight both these rcasons and leave the one
mics of Mr.. Van Buren, wholly without excuse!
The President declares TO the nation that he die
tated the clause of the instructions complained of
rections in writing and transmitting them To- Mr.
McLanc that lac gave these Instructions because il
was his duty TO his country; because, while he was
determined to ask only what is clearly right and
submit to nothing that is wrong he was determined
that his country should not suffer by an attempt on
his part to defend policy which he and the people
had condemned
On what ground will the Webster division of tho
opposition now rest their justification? The Prcsi-
dent dictated the part of the instructions assailcd
Mr. Van Buren, was but his agent to transmit them
to Mr.. McLanc; and Mr.. Mel. carried them into
execution. They do not assail the President who
dictated the Instructions; they have advised and con.
scntcd to the appointment as Secretary of tho Treu
sury OF Dlr. McLonc, who executed them; and the,
have seized upon ant punished Mr. Tan Buen, tcht
neither originated nor contaminated the alleged of
fence against the dignity Of orr country! is there
justice or consistency in this? Is not the President
who originated the udignity, the greatest offender
and MIR. McLane who consummatcd il tic next? II

Iaturc, Mr. Gays managers cndeavorlng to take
measures for an extra session of tho Legislature,
avowcdly on the ground that there will be no choice
of an electoral vote by the people. The other day
MIR. Shaw of Lanesboro' (Nlr. Clay's friend and
manager in the House of Representatives of Mas
sachsets, and of the principal delegates to the
Clay Convention at Bal,imorc) stated in debate as a
reason for an extra session of the Legislature fol-
lows:
"Ihc Stateis divided into three great political par
ties, he Jackson, the 9nti- Masonic, and the National
RepuJticonaN If ,chich had TO make up their eiecfo-
raj tickets. In IL sATJsFAcroRx MY MIND rIsAr

"Thus, you sec that the enemy stand condemned
out Of their mouth. They compelled To adj
init that the Clay electoral ticket be elected
by the people even in federal Massachusetts In
the Legislature their prospect is dismal; for it is
now reduced TO moral certainty that there is not i'm
the Legislature of Massachusetts majority of Clay
men, From present appearances, President Jack
son stands ms good chance Mr. Clay, strange as
IT may scem of obtaining the vote of Massachusetts
Though the stranger probability is that the vote of
the State Will be lost. Yours, &C."

diculous attitude, we are much mistaken In another part of his detorous letter, the Delegate calls upon us to inform the public holp many letters he has franked 10
 ;:s relating ercinsigeiy to our afairs. This request is rather difficult to comply with, that is, with any thing like accuracy, having been hoaoyed with so many letters from this honorable gentleman. But we must tax our memory, and ascertain the number as nearly as we can. Well, then, we recollect, distinctly, of having receiv- cd one letter land but one) from tbc Hon- ora5lc A. II. Scyer. since the last Eiec- fioa. The 's hotO nanya is badly applied in this case.
 Before closing. we will say to the Colo nei, that, personally,we wish him no harm whatever-but when lie condescends to dabble in the same filthy pool with his Pusillanimous Editor, by urging such pat- fry and false charges as the one we have just endeavored to explain, we cannot Gorego the remark, that il is beneath the dignity of the representative of a high- minded and Honorable people.
 Woodruff's remarks, or caption to the letter alluded to, we shall not notice, far ther than to Say, that man who has been guilty of perjury, knows but little of tie import or meaning of the word ' hoaor;;' we would, therefore, advise him to dis pense with the use of the word--it lily be- comes him.

 Dear Sir--Your favor of 18th March, drawing my attention to Governor Pope's address, has just come to hand.
 I had two days ago received the news paper containing the Governors publica- ton, and imme ediateiy addressed letter to him, through the medium of the Ar kansas Gazette" correcting the error in- to which he has been led on the subject of the affair between Col. Sevier and myself l was surprised to find such charge made against you; but your enemies, 1t seems, leave no stone unturned to do yetI injury. hope my communication 10 his Excellen- cy will be satisfactory on that point.
 In relation to the charge of your C hay- ing stirred up an opposition to the late Mir. Conway" distinctly recolieee, that yon were so backward in giving counte- nance to Col. Odenas pretensions, that he made it matter of complaint to me, long after Ire became candidate, saving that he had calculated upon yonr active sup porr, from the fact of your being old and intimate friends, and that lie believed 1t then doubtful whether or not you would support him. l mentioned this conversa- ton 10 you soon afterwards, aud you told me that you had determined 10 take no part in the election, farther than to give yonr silent vote for 0den. And l know frll wel that you did not depart from the resolution you had formed, until you were compelled 10 do so in self-defencc. \ few designing men and of6cious friends of Mir. Conway, sought tire occasion to identify yon with Col Oden, hoping, thereby, 10 break you both down'at once The means usedto accomplish this object, arc known tost the people of the Territory.
 You are at liberty to make what use 5ou please of this letter. Your friend,

 "I have now no doubt, (and indeed never had much,) but the Ten Section question will recoil on the persons who endeayored to make political use of t i; the desperate lengths to which they carri- ed their opposition, and the unheard of scurrility of the Legislature, must have their proper weight on the public mind, ;, and cause powerful reaction, whenever the subject IS well understood.'
