M LYLE, the present. member Of the
House Of Representatives from the Cincinatti
district in Ohio, having been defeated in the re-
cent election by Mr.. storer, has addressed let.
ter TO his constituents, resgnng his seat for the
remainder Of his term. He looks upon his de-
feat as an expression Of dissent by his constituents
from the course he has pursued in supporting the
measures Of the administration. Thus far he is
doubtless in the right; but the propriety Of his
resignation under the circumstances, seems much
less clear as, if every public man similarly stu
atcd were TO take the same course, il would be
the cause Of inealculable inconvenience 10 the
people. In say ling this we do not intend TO ex.
press doubt Of the propriety Of Mr.. Lytle's
motives, which, we find them given in his
address, are creditable to him.

OPINIONS VI Our CONDITION AHRoAD,-Itis
useful and instructive for men at times TO learn
what others think of their conduct; and the same
may be said of nations. Thus considered, the
following paragraph from a tory newspaper in
Eng land, cannot be read without interest There
may be more truth in its statements than at first
we should be willing to admit ; and, while there
may be no such design as is spoken of, deliber-
ately formed, unbiased American can deny
that the tendency Of events in this country is
clearly towards that &C contamination " which
the English writer seems to think so "devoutly
to be wished.''
