RESIGNATION OF THE CABINET,

This matter is again the Tapis MIR. Thomas
Ewing late Secretary of the Treasury under the ad
minis ration of General Harrison appears in the Ma
tional nelligencer of the 7th inst IN letter to the
people of the u. States, in which he attempts TO DIS
prove the charge of faschood made against him by
Mr. Mallory of Virginia sometime in March last.
He calls upon Messrs. Butler Berrien, King and
Sergeant to bear him out in his charges against the
President
They afford him nothing Their differences are
many equiyoca and iudstinct They do not fur
nsh the first particle Of posre evidence TO sustain
Ewing in his statements They have left him in a
most ridiculous light before the public, having failed
to afford the substantiation requisite to an issue be-
tween men of honor.
In giving his reasons for not appearing at earlier
date before the pubic, to refute the charges brought
against him, and wipe off the stain of intamy which,
begin think was justly imputed to his character
he the following language:
''But those facts have since been, in sort de-
Med though the denial has not, till recently, come
from such source, and reached me in such form
and such authority, as enabled me to notice it.
could not reply to partisan orator who should at
tack defend the President on the stump or to
a newspaper editor who should do the like in his
columns"
And from ''such asource, saysth honorable gem
tleman From what source would he have it come 7
The accusations, il is well known made upon
the authority of the President Of the United States,
who, though had he not borne the character Of a
gentleman, was from uiSnlly OlHS sta
ton, the head of mighty republic, as the repre-
sentative of an intelligent and honorable constituency,
at whose hands his opponent can expect nothing, TO
the attention and respect of men much superior to
| Thomas Ewing, either in point of intelligence, res
portability or honor He, Thomas Ewing standing
before the people of the United States in the light of
a man regardless of yeracity, and convicted of de.
sorting, without sufficient reason, the interests of the
people, confded to his trust by the venerable larri-
son--such man refusing to defend his character
from the imputations cast upon by the President of
the United States is prctencc too ridiculous for
contemplation.

thou art rare bird.
And newspaper cditors," forsooth 1t is with
this portion of his communication that province
more properly belongs Had it not been for that
class-'newspaper edltors'-Qf whom he speaks
with such affected loathng and disgust he would now,
instead Of having acquired the assurance to inrude
his calumuating illusions upon 'the people of the
United States" be spending days in that UNDECIDED

Had not newspaper editors pulled into existence
this redoubable parsonage, and ignorantly been
guilty of abettng and aiding him in his unintermit-

of elevatng to the Secretaryship of the Treasury,
being utterly incapable and inefficient as Thomas
