The following letters from Mr.. WEE
srER, Secretary of State, belong to the
current events sf the day. II will be
perceived that Mr.. w. Notwithstanding
what has passed, has confidence that
President Tyler will cooperate with
Congress in overcoming all difficulties
in the attainment of tho objects most
desired by the Wings. What MIR.
w ebster has discovered to give him
this confidence he does not state, nor is
it indeed hardly possible to imagine after
the dcvclopements Of Mr.. Ewing-bul
presumins Mr.. w. does not write for
effect merely, (as it is well known he
is not in the habit of doing.) We are ot
the opinion it would be as well to wait
patiently, in accordance with the advice
deducible from his letters.
WAsHiNGros, Sept. il, 1871,
Nv Dear Sir,-I thank you tor your kind
and friendly letter.
You will have learned that Messrs. Ewing,
Bell, Badger, aud Cnt,endcn, have resigned
their respective Offices. Probably MIR Gran.
ger may feel bound To follow the example,
This occurrence eau hardly cause you the
same degree of regret which II has occasioned
to me; us they are not only my friends, but
persons with whom | have had, Tor some
time, a daily official intercourse. could
not partake IN this movement. IL Is supposed
to be justified, | presume, by the dItleren'
ces which have arisen between the President
aud Congress, upon the tueans OF establish
ing proper Fiscal Agency, and restoring Il
sound state Of the currency; aud collateral
matters, growing out Of those differences
regret these differences as deeply as any
man: but | have not been enabled " see ~
what manner the resignation of the Cabinet
was likely either TO remove or mitigate th.
evils produced by them. On tho contrary
my only reliance for the remedy for those
evils has been, aud Is, on the union, conclli
alton aud perseverance, Of the whole Wing
Party; and by no means despair OF seeing
yet accomplished, by these means, all that
we desire. II may render us more patient
under disappointment; IN regard to one mca
sure, to recollect, as Is justly stated by :h,
President in his last message, how great Il
number Of important measures has been al
ready successfully carried through. hardly
know when such Il mass OF business has beef
despatched in a single session OF Congress.
Tie annual winter session Is now near al
hand; the same Congress 10 again to ASSEM-
bic; and feeling as deeply az ever did, tn,
indispensable necessity Of some suitable pro
vision for The keeping OF the public money
Tor lid To the operation Of the treasury, ana
- the high public interests of currency and
exc bnnyc, | am not ~ haste To believe tha,
the patty which has now tie predominant,
will not, in all these respects, yet fulfil III,
expectations Of the country. u 1t shall not
then is our condition for!orn indeed. Bu
for one, will not give up the hope.
| My particular cOnneXion with the admins
tration, however, is IN another department. -
think very bnmbl bly-Done can think more
humbl y-of the vH.uc Of the services whicl
] am able 10 render TO the public in that post
But as there is, so far as know, Oh all sub
jects affecting our foreign relations, con
currence Of opinion between The President
and myself, and as there is nothing to disturb
the harmony Of our intercourse, ] have moi
felt il consistent with the duty which ] ow.
the country, 10 run The risk, by any suddcr
or abrupt proceeding, Of embarrassing the
Executive, in regard to subjects aud ques
,ions now immediately pending, and which
Intimately affect the preservation OF the peac.
Of the country.
| ! am, dear Sir, with constant regard,
/ Yours, &c.
