FOR THE MADIsoNIAN,

Mr.. EDITOR II seems TO me that both Mr.. Ewing
and Mr. Badger, if they prove any thing against the
President, prove too much
Mr. Badger sayst a, the President, himself at a
Cab net meeting brought forward the prsjet of an
Exchange Bank, and that il was then distinctly stated
and understood that he would approve of such a
Bank
Mr. Ewing says that the name of this Exchange
Bank altered at the express request of the Pres
dent
Now, either the President was then sincerely desi-
to accommodate his views TO those of the MAORI
~ in Congress-or he took great deal Of unnecessa-
~ pains to embarass himself Mr., Ewing represents
HIM almost mplorlng his Cabinet to save him from
the embarrassmen,s of another Veto. He would
hardly, then, have proposed bill which he had pre-
determined to veto; he would have waited until the
proet had been forced upon him.
The President, then had, 50 late the 18th of Au-
gust, sincere wish to cooperate with the Wing par
~ in the establishment CT Fiscal Agent. As they
seemed unwilling unable TO comprehend his views,
he himself introduced projet.

AUGUST Zotn. lS4E.
GENTLEMEN AS you spoke last evening Of
the general policy of The. Wings, under the pre-
sent posture Of affairs, relative to The Bank bill,
| am willing to place you in full possession Of
my opinion on that subject
1t is not necessary to go further back, into the
history of the past, than the introduction of the
present measure into the House Of Represen-
tatives.
That introduction took place, within two or
three days, after the Presidents disapproval OF
doubt that it was honestly and fairly intended
as measure likely TO meet the Presidents ap-
probation. do not believe that one in fifty OF
the Wings had any sinister design whatever, il
there was an individual who had such design.
But know that the President had been great
DESTROYS, on one hand, 10 meet the wishes OF
his friends, if he could, and on the other, 10 do
justice to his own opinions.
Having returned this first bill with objections,
a new one was presented in the House, and
appeared to be making rapid progress.
wished the whole subject might have been
postponed.
At the same time, believe he was disposed
to consider calmly and conscientiously, what
ever other measure might be presented TO him
But in the mean time Mr.. Botts's very extra
ordinary letter made It's appearance. Mr. Bolts
is a Wing of eminence and influence in our
ranks. need not recall to your mind the con-
tents of the letter II is enough TO say, that il
purported that the Wings designed to circum-
vent their own President, TO head him" as the
expression was, and to place him in condition
of embarrassment.
From that moment felt that il was the duty
of the Wings TO forbear from pressing the Bank
| bill further, at the present time.
| l thought il was but just in them TO give de
cisive proof that they entertained no such pur
pose, as seemed 10 be imputed TO them. AnC
since there was reason 10 believe, that the Pre-
sident would be glad Of time. for information

think so still. ] think this is course, Jus
to the President, and wise on behalf Of th'

A decisive rebuke ought, in my judgment, I,
be given to the ntimation, from whatever quar-
4 ter, OF disposition among the Wings 10 EN-
barrass the President.
This is The main ground of my opinion; an
such a rcbuke, think, would be found in th
general resolution of the party TO postpone fur

Charles Witherel, some years ago. was very
roughly handled by Sir Robert Peel for disclo-
sing some cabinet secret which had been dis
closed To him confdenlally, though moi in the
cabinet Such is the sensibility in England on
this subject And our ex-Secretaries will
find that the American People have not less
high appreciation Of the rules Of honor, in mat
ters of this sort, than any other people on the
globe. They will find, too, that they win not
abandon the Administration Of their choice, for
the sake Of engaging in the personal quarrels Of
three or four individuals.
Mr.. Bells letter, however, contains several
admissions Of some importance. We allude
particularly TO the following, VIZ:
|. That Mr.. Badger said dealing in or buy
ing bills of exchange would be diScountiHg 2
That the President said he "never would give
his sanction TO the power OF LEGAL discounts 3.
That the President thought fifteen milo
would be large enough for the capital Of fiscal
Institution. 4. That the President suggested
name for the bill different from the one adopt
ed 5. That the President requested that they
would take care not 10 commit him TO any nten
ton TO dictate TO Congress. On? Was not
the request also made TO take care not TO com
nit the President TO the details of the bill? Ii
has been said that forty nine facts do not always
tell the truth unless the fftieth is stated The

rives these points took place on the memorable
18th Of August, being after the lst Veto. We
