Isuppose you are all quiet enough, now that Con-
gress has adjourned. Here all is business and buse
noise and confusion. 1t is said that more business
has been done here this Fall than any other for num-
Der of years. The passage of the Bankrupt Law be-
gins already to show its good results Numbers who
have not heretofore dared to show their faces in the
business part of this city, have already made such
rangements with their creditors as to be enabled to be-
gin anew John Tyler is truly fortunate man. All
speak in his praise for his frmness integrity, and
foresight His firm opposition to bank, that though
it may not have been intended yet might have been
used fol speculative purposes has gained him hume
rous friends in all classes of society, and may add,
from all parties. His popularity is spreading like
ga fire id one of our Western praries." Nothing
can stop it. He is looked upon the true guardian
of the peoples interest The most bitter Loco Focos
admit that he has acted with the greatest discretion
and wisdom; and if he had not repealed the sub
Treasury until some other plan had been devised fol
the safety Of the public money they could have found
no fault whatever with him. This is all they have u
harp on, matter think, very trifing in itself WI

people have got all they want They now salts

EWING has done himself infinitely more harm than
good in the letter he has published. They say why
should all the leading projects of the Wings be forced
into hurried operation few days-time ought to
be taken to consider them. Rome was not built in
day-and the best Of projects have points which, il
left unguarded may prove of more injury than bene
fit to the people. WEBSTER has also gained great po
puarty by remaining at his post His views of things
as they are, have an extended horizon. He sees and
knows that all will come right. He stands manfuy
at his helm, unfnching, and we'll knowing that in
union, and in union alone, there is strength. He i

1t is plain enough that the ex-Secretaries take
the President at great advantage. '@ -
They write him letters which they know he
cannot answer, because the President Of the
United States cannot enter into such CORES.

They use weapons, therefore, which they
know he cannot use. ""'
In the next place, they undertake to state
Cabinet conversations, which he regards as
confidential and to which he cannot refer, with
out violating his own sense of propriety and
dignity. .......n.. ..: .-t.t.
Having thus placed the President in posi-
ton in which he cannot defend himself, they
make war upon him and this, we suppose, will
be called high-mindedness and "chvalry" ~

Mr. BADGERS LErTER.-The letter of this gentle
man which we publish, does not pretend that Mr..
Tyler ever avowed himself in favor of Bank to
make discounts in the States without their consent.
Jua Ge yybout sucb co~meni be were so snch
dealing might have been simply with view to trans
fer the Government funds, and might never have
contemplated the buying of bills having indefinite
time to run proposed in the last Bank bill.
Mr.. Badger, be it remembered, made speech in
North Carolina which was printed in pamphlet form
and sent all over the State in which he asserted that
both Harrison and Tyler opposed to a National
Bank. Did he wish deception practised on the peo-
pie by their going for it afterwards

We should more readily incline to suppose
there might be some reason for the retiremen
of the four members of the late Cabinet, If they
could agree on such reasons among themselves
But, unhappilys they entirely differ. Eacf

follows with different showing. ..&e."'
Mr.. Ewing, who leads off, rejects the Veto
as ground of resignation, and goes out on .sper
sonal indignity" -"
Mr. Crittenden follows, and having no com
plant to make of personal indignity," he goes
out on the Veto.
Then comes Mr.. Badger, who does not GO
out on the Bank question, but because the case
is one Of ga measure, embraced, and then re-
pudiated, efforts prompted, and then disowned,
service rendered, and then treated with scorn
and neglect" That is to say, Mr.. Badger re-
signs because the President trifed with his Ca
binet. ....h
But now hear Mr.. Bell: ,... ..~a
"Nor was it because the President thought
proper to lrifle with or mislead his Cabinet, as
there is but too much reason to believe he in
tended to do, in the affair Of the late Fiscal
Bank, that l resigned my place. There were
other, and pre-exsting causes for such a
course" &c.
What those "other and pre-existing causes
are, or were, Mr. Bell does not inform us. q. 4.
In regard to those, the world is yet to be en-
lightened.
Placed in the shortest form, each gentleman,
with his cause of resignation, stands thus
Mr.. Ewing, "personal indignity."
Mr.. Crittenden, "Veto."
Mr.. Badger, Stirling with the Cabinet"
Mr.. Bell, "other and pre-existing causes"
Or the matter may be fairly represented by
stating each one of the several alleged causes,
and seeing who concurred in it.
In that view the case stands thus
Personal Indignity," assigned BY Mr.. Ewing;
not alleged by any body else. ...
"Veto," assigned by Mr.. Crittenden; express
ly renowned by the rest.
"TriAing with the Cabinet" the substance
of Mr. Badgers ground; expressly repudated
by Mr. Bell, and alleged by nobody else. ..,u
"Other and pre-existing causes" alleged BY
Mr.. Bell, alluded to by nobody else and Of
which the world is yet in utter ignorance.
We cannot suppose that these gentlemen
have the weak affectation, each 10 give sepa.
rate reason for HIMSELF and since they do SO
entirely differ among themselves, we think the
inference fair. that there was no plain, substan-
tial cause for breaking up the Cabinet such as
the public mind can readily understand and JUS
tify. w..
Time will show what opinion the country
may come to; but of one thing we feel entirely
confident, and that is, that when the passions oil
the moment shall have passed away, the reveal
ing of Cabinet secrets for the purpose Of attack
ing the President will appear to be proceed
ing only worthy Of universal reprobation and
condemnation.

The communications of "ARIsTIDEs" are
worthy of special attention. The concluding
observation of No. 2, in to-day paper, addresses
itselfto the good sense of the entire Wing party.
The Indignation meetings which hive been

are all prema' ure and suicidal. Never, never

more foolishly, than very large portion Of the

Mr.. GRANGER's REsIGNAToN-The following
is an extract of letter from the Hon. Christie
pher Morgan, to the New York Courier:
"The facts simply these in relation to the writ
ten communication of the delegation: Early Satur
day morning, the day which the Cabinet resigned
Mi. Granger informed me that he had determined tc
resign the Office of Postmaster General but that he
was unwilling to take so important a STEP without
first comforting with the New York delegation. While
the House was in session he called upon Messrs. Fill
more, GIeig and myself. and we informed him that
the Wing members Of the delegation then in Wash
ington concurred the proprety of his resignation
{" Mr.. Granger then requested that the delegation
would express in written communication their ap.
probation of the conclusion TO which his mind
had come, and such communication was drawn up and
signed by the delegation.
Instead, therefore, Of being compelled by the
Wing delegation to resign, Mr. Granger only sought
their approval.
