THE LATE RESERVATIONS.

The late Secretary of the Treasury puts his resig
nation upon the ground that the President did not
consult him about the Veto apologize for refusing
TO approve the second Bank bill One Of the first
acts Of Mr. Clay, after the organization of Congress,
at the late extra session, was to call upon Mr. Ew-
ing for plan Of Bank. The Secretary reported a
bill and all who read an account ofhe Scnates proceed
inus, must remember the scornfnl manner in which
Mr. Clay spoke of it, "That hing" said Mr.. Clay,
speaking Of this bill Could he have used an expires
sion Of greater contempt, calculated to arouse
The resentment OF Mr.. Ewing That hing" I! said
Mr.. Clay. What, pretend " that hing" is a Bank
bill And yet see Mr.. Ewing, who resigns his
seat as member Of the Cabinet, because the Presi
dent does not consult him on his Veto nor apologize
to him for doing IT. meeting Mr. Clay at private con-
suliaton the evening before he resigned lfMr
Ewing was SO much ncensed against the p resident
because he would neither consult him the suhjec,
Of the Bank, nor apologize to him for not doing
what should have been his feelings towards Mr. Clay
for the open insult perpetrated in the Senate2 AND
is it not little remarkable that gentleman so sensi
tive as Mr. Ewing represents himself to be- should moi
only quickly pocket the insult wantonIy given BY
Mr. Clay, while he resents with much bitterness
the omission to consult him on subject upon wha
he had before been fully consulted, and which h
knew then was fundamental difference Of opinion
between him and the President? Does not this fac
show foregone conclusion, and is il not sufficient .
itself to satisfy every thinking mind, that MI Ewinl
was The partisan Of Mr. Clay and that he has Paye'
| his part in subordination TO his leader

THE MCLEOD CASE.

We lay before our readers to-day, from the
pamphlet edition published in this city, very
able review Of the opinion of Mr.. Justice CO.
WEN, Of the Supreme Court OF New York. Il
is the more important and interesting at this
time, in consequence Of the nowpending trial Of
the case at Utica. .N
To ensure perusal and study of this pow
erful paper, II is hardly necessary to inform the
reader that it is from the pen Of Judge TALL
MADGE, Of the Superior Court Of the city of New
York. IL we are not greatly mistaken, it will
contribute largely to enlghten the public mind
in reference to the question Of war involved in
the casp '
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-10-09

We have the proceedings on the trial of Mcleod,
to Wednesday. Advices from Utica speak Of the
probable close Of the trial this week. The cores
pendent Of the New York Sun remarks.
The proof duplicating Mcleod in the Caroline af
fair and consequently bringing him within the purview
Of the Indictment is already very strong, and will be
greatly increased and strengthened not only by the
number but by the character of the witnesses against
him, before the counsel for the prosecution rests.
Some half dozen of the witnesses for the defence have
not yet made their appearance in Court, and It is i'm
possible TO judge what weight Of testimony may be
brought to bear in the defence
One thing is certain il will require evidence, moi
tri1ng in amount questionable in character TO
but that which has been adduced for the prosecution
and the acquitia of the prisoner by the jury
In public opinion | am sure he will stand convicted
to much greater extent than he has heretofore been
held. The testimony, il fell from the lips Of the
witnesses this morning, certainly held Mcleod ex.
tremely uneasy, and Though he evidently endcavored
TO conceal and suppress the emotions produced in hi.
mind, his countenapce and uneasy shiftiDgs of posi-
ton, told of inward agitation and alarm
To what extent the witnesses the part OF the pr
soner are prepared to TO the abb which will be
attempted to be proved, remains to be seen.
The dispositions Of the several ommandans of the
boats that went the expedition against the Caro-
line have been taken under the commissions issued
and all but one swears that Mcleod was not in the
boat under his command. One, ho,rerer, refuses Il
ansuer 10 thai point But restricted both by propn
ety and strict injunction, | not at liberty L
anticipate further what those dispositions will devel
/ ope.
