THE PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION
The Washington correspondent, Supposed to be
The honorable Representative Of the Accomac and
northampton nations in CongressD OF the Tyler or

charges the Wings in Congress with the design OF
forcing his Accidency 10 resign bis Accldencyshp,
by Withholding the means for carrying on the Go
vernment If the Wings entertain such design,
and attempt to carry it into effect, ii will prove only
an attempt; for, to success, they will az certainly
fail as they would by granting him every thing he
could ask. No man Of nice honor, and tender con
science he preends to- could hare chung thus long,
Nth such tenacity he has, to situation in phich
he had proved himself unacceptable to those iro had
placed him there, unworthy as he has proren him
SELF o. the upwards of q mlen and quarter OF
voters who in an evil hour honored him with their
confidence, not ten thousand would now extend him
the vote of their appreciation of the course he has
pursued. II this made test question to-nOr-
row. next week, next month, or next autumn, either
with those who voted for him, or with the mass of
freemen in the United States, not one county not
one township not one election precinct within the
whole length and breadth of the land, would be found
to confer upon him the need of their APPRECIATION, by
ina jotity of votes-no not even the county OF his
nativity of his residence. And yet the new-hedg-
ed Loco Foco Representative Of Northampton and
Accomac says the Wings intend to force him to
,ign We say the Representative from Accomac,

him, convicted him. beyond question OF doubt OF be-

of eight dollars per day only he could and did, make
great sho1p of conscenti0usness and dlsinterested-
ness by respning his seat when he ought TO have
held to it, and prevented the dsgia and violation
Of the Constitution, which he suffered and with ms
colleague, could have prevented by allowing others
fully as conscientious as himself and less so, to

fty cents which proves to be, at least the price OF
his conscience, even if less sum would not have
been accepted Congress would do WELL if they would
now appropriate to him the fifty thousand dollars for
his next two years and request him to resign; but
even then, it is chance Of he would resign then
the administration ofthe country would become Wing

keepers to prevent. The honorable correspondent Of
the ~ Y. Herald would interpose his prohibition and
be obeyed

Here now stands the revelation Of the fact,
and here the proof, that the whole scope and
object Of the mysterious proceedings on the
part of the ultra Wing members of Congress,
headed by Mr.. Clay in person, during the last
ten months, was to force the constitutional
President of the United States to resign the
high trusts bequeathed to him. We had seen
enough to rouse our suspicious to this effect,
and we had heard surmises, well calculated TO
rouse suspicion, but we could never bring
ourselves before to the positive belief that
such was the case. The idea of evictlng
from the Presidential Chair man who
was placed in il by the laws of the land, and
the high behests Of Providence, and thereby to
trample down those institutions left us by our
forefathers as holy and nvioable, we were I'M
willing to entertain towards any set Of men,
however rancorous in feeling they might be, and
destitute Of every principle of morality and jus.
tice. But the heading of Captain Tyler is
now made manifest, and out of their own
mouths we condemn the conspirators.
Those who are at all conversant with history,
know the fact that the time in which conspiracy
has always sought to start from her loathsome
den with her gorgon brood, to infect the poltl-
cal atmosphere with poisonous exhalations, has
ever been upon the changing phases Of Govern
ment or when some new and untred expert
ment was about TO test the strength of the so
