tim. Another National Bank, to all intents and
purposes, saving only the name, is forced upon
Tyler As was calculated upon and hoped, sec
ond veto followed. A cabinet er-parte consulla-
ton was held by Clay's orders. Ewing groans and
fumes. A, length the mine explodes, and the dirty
eaves-catcher comes out with The mangled CONVEX
salions of the President and effects only-his own
shame Solitude Ewing appears as the complete
cats-paw of Dictator Clay.
But in what light does this contemplate letter
place John Tyler! AS an unwavering, consistent
opponent of a National Bank of Discount When
Badger remarked that Congress "were perfectly
ready" to pass the bill reported by the Secretary
of the Treasury, the President Immediately replies,
"TALK NOT TO ME- OF Mr. EwING's Bull;
1T CONTAINS THAT oDIoUs FEATURE OF Lo-
CAL DISCOUNTS, WHICH HAVE REGULATED
IN MY MESSAGE" Ewing says again:
81 then said that understood you 20 be of opin-
ion that Congress might charter Bank in the Dis
trct of Columbia, wing its location here. TO this
you assenled. That they might authorize such
bank to establish offices of discount and depose
in the several States, TO this you replied, Don't
name discounts: they have been the source of The
most abominabe cOrrupions, and are wholly I'M
necessary TO enable the Bank to discharge its du-
ties to the country and the Government. IF"
This is the gsl of the letter. For his frmness
in refusing to sanction bank Of discount, Tyler
deserves the thanks Of the nation Evidently,
Ewing was so bent on catching up words where
with to make political capital that he would not
hear conversations correctly. His story must be
fully corroboraed, before it can ever be believed;
and if ii be true the circumstances will not justify
his conduct. The treacherous viola,or of private
of honor; his place is among mean men!
"Solltude Ewing" relres to private life, then,
the grossest violator Of Cabinet secrets ever
known in our country. But few instances are on
record Of offences of such nature. One instance
occurred during Washingtons administration; a.
mother during Madisons. In both cases their au-
thors were viewed with unmingled contempt
Such dirty work can only be defended by such
Journal aud the Richmond Wig. 1t is not sur
prisng that these presses out for the ex-sec-
Rotary. They are birds of the same feather.
Ewing goes to oblivion also, as the defeated tool
of Henry Clay. His letter, evidently dictated by
Clay, was the last card of as reckless political
gambler as the country ever produced. twill fail
of its object Clay and his white Charles will
soon he in minority in Congress; and then, like

Discord reisns throughout tho Wing camp; and
the Wing members Of Congress, under the aus

C's LETTER OF RESIGNATION.

EWING'S LETTER OF RESIGNATION.
| The unparalleled violation Of cabinet secrets il
ex-Secreiary Ewing's letter exces every where
scorn and contempt
Besides the malignant vioator of private conf
dence, Ewing appears as the miserable tool of Hem
ry Clay. This bold politician slaked his fortunes
on tho accomplishment of as daring series OF
measures as is recorded in our political history.
The corner stone Of this series of measures was
conGessedly NATIONAL BANK. And the trans
actions connected with the two Bank bills form a
key to The whole proceedings Of the extra session.
in fact the ambition of Clay is at the beginning and
end Of the late session of Congress. 1t was Clay
who formed the Cabnet-t was Clay who tri-
umphed when the extra session was called-it was
Clay who put forth the measures and who was to
profit by their success. They were designed to
curry favor with reckless political adventurers and
as reckless political stock jobbers land through their
operation Clay was TO be made President. But
the death of Harrison Disconnected this bold asp-
rants plans. A new difficulty arose. Tyler, re-
garded with something like political contempt at
the Harrisburgh convention, suddenly assumed, in
Clay's eyes, the importance of rival. lie became
at once lion in Clay's paih aud he would not be
otherwise than king. As he could not be timed,
he must be KILLED or heaiei. Clay knew that Ty-
Ter could not, without committing perjury, sign
bill creating bank Of discount. Hence it became
his nocy to force the President TO use the veto
power, and then use the supposed unpcpularity of
this power with the wings TO crush him. Clay
pushed through Congress bill which he knew and
every body else knew, the President could not
sign, if he was honest and firm. But this did not
answer-it did not dissolve the Cabinet. "Capt.
TYLER" must be headed in another manner. The
forward Dictator of the Senate becomes Outrardiy
the humble, undecided follower; but secretly the
daring plotter. Cpsar transformed himself to
Catalina TYLER must be demonstrated a traitor.
The lines must be drawn-Tyler, with his corpo-
rails guard on the one side; Clay, with his hard
cider battalions on the other. To do this Tyler
must be disgraced and Ewing mus, be the agent to
effect this disgrace. Accordingly, Clay makes
Ewing one of his white Charles, and Clay's finger
becomes visible in every movement Ewing makes.
The exchange bank is cooked up and presented to
Tyler. Every movement cfthe Executive is chron-

was about leaving the home of her youh-the

retirement, she was about emerging into the great
world of which she had heard so little, and con-
corning which her conceptions we've so very ndis-

owly obscnriy into the highest walks of life; to

JEFFERSON'S ADVICE.

The following advice Is good, and very npplica-
bic at the present day. We commend it to the al
,enion ofihe people, as well as their seryants.--
Speaking of the deliberations of Congress of 1888,
Mr. Jefferson said, "Onr body was little numer-
Gus, but very contentious. Day after day was
wasted on the most unimportant questions. A MEM
Der, one Of those afflicted with the morbid rage Of
copious flow Of words, who heard with impotence
any logic not bis own, sitting near NEON some oc-
cason Of a trAng but wordy debate, asked me

reasoning which word could refuie' observed
to him, that to refnte indeed was easy, but to si-
lence impossible; that in measurers brought for
