Of our columns will admit
THE LETTERS OF RESIGNATION.
Below will be found the letters of Messrs.
CRIrTENDEN and EWING, rendering the
resignation of their seats in the Cabinet of
President TYLER; also, letter from the
Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, to the editors of
the National Intelligencer, giving his rea-
SONS for continuing to hold his staff on in
the Cabinet, after the resignation of his
colleagues Another letter from Mr.. Web
ster, to friend in New York, on the same
subject, is also given in connexion with
them. ....
We confess we were astonished on read
ing the letter of Mr.. Ewing. He has ia
ken bold step, and one which seems TO
have been pre-meditated, and the result of
deep and deliberate reflection. The posi-
ton in which he presents the President is
a very delicate one; for every person
must be aware that the President cannot
condescend to newspaper quarrel with
Secretary with whom there has been a
misunderstanding We hope it has been
the result of misrepresentation and that
the honor, alike of the President and Mr..
Ewing, may be preserved.
Mr. Webstcrs letters, in our humble
opinion, throw much light on the subject
In his letter to the editors of the Intelligent
Ger, he says "hc is perfectly persuaded of
the absolute necessity of an institution, IN
der the authority of Congress, to aid revc-
nue. and financial operations, and to give
the country the blessings of good cur
rency and cheap exchanges And again
he says, in the same letter, notwthstand-
ing all that has passed, have CONFIDENCE
that the President will cooperate with the
Legislature in overcoming all difficulties in
the attainment of these objects"
These misunderstanding from the
source they do--seem to us to be abun-
dainty satisfactory. If Mr.. Webster did
not perfectly understand the Presidents
views, he would be far from publishing such
sentiments as are contained in his letters
And it is very evident, that if Mr.. Webster
has taken the responsibility of thus virtu-
ally giving the assurance that the President
will yet, and is anxious to cooperate with
Congress in the establishment of a Fiscal
Agent, without his knowledge of the fact,
that it would cause a rupture between
them. And that this was his intention, no
one will believe.
Taking into consideration then, that
every other measure of the wings has been
accomplished but the establishment of a
Fiscal Agent, and with these assurances be-
fore US of the creation of proper one
at an early day of the next session Of Con-
gress, is there any cause for dependency
in the Wings! Should it not rather bind
them stronger together, and stimulate them
to act in concerto bring their undivided
strength to bear on this great and impor-
tant measure to the country! IF, after
another trial-aftcr they have again met
and made the attempt, we are disappointed,
then will be time enough for Interior mea-
sures.
! We cannot see any possible good that
will arise from denouncing the President,
and driving him from our ranks, because
he could not conscientiously give his sane
ton to the bills which have been presented
him. No one regrets more than we do the
failure of concurrence between Congress
and the Executive; no one is more thor
oughly convinced of the absolute necessity
of National Institution for National pur-
poses, than we are; but, because we failed
in getting one at the extra session of Con-
gress we do not despair; we are willing
to wait-make another trial, and if again
unsuccessful, then, as before remarked, will
be time enough for ulterior measures.

merce, that statement of the case be.
