This estimate of the committee appears to CON-

or II years hence, rather than our cond lion upon

Besides the reasons which advanced, as above
others occurred to me. which | did not think pro
per to suggest, but which were, in my opinion, de-
cisiye of the matter. | was wei! aware that the
President was at that time exceedingly unpopular
and believed, if be vetoed that bill, ne must be-
come an object of almost universal deteststion.
The Opposition hated him as renegade from
their party The Wings had begun to look upon
him with distrust and aversion, as one who had
betrayed them and deserted their principles. For
him, at that time and under those circumstances,
to declare soemnly in public paper that ne a'ould
or toould not be candidate for reelection would,
as thought, make him the subject of public ridi-
cue and contempt as he already was of public
indignation. My advice. therefore, was given Sc
riousy and in good faith, though did not for
moment believe bis proposition was so-no more
than believed as fact his statement that ne had
penned such declaration for insertion in his inau-
gura bur withheld it lest it should turn the bate
ries of Mr. Clay and his friends against MIR. Web
ster. His suggestion seemed to me to convey the
idea tina. the Wings, the Cabinet included, cared
little about measures if we could clear the way for
the succession.

The resigned nembers Of the Cabinet were proba-
bly, the only objects of his attack In the integrity
and honor of those gentlemen, my late colleagues
in Office, have the most perfect confidence, but
am not authorized to speak for them, nor shall l.
For myself, [ answer that, SO far as concerns me,
then member Of the Cabinet, this charge, in its
| whole length and breadth, is totally unfounded.
| | oppose to it an absolute unqualified denial.
l do not know, and never knew, of any such
message to the President as tha. stated BY Mr..
Spencer. had neither art nor part in any such
message, nor in any device or negotiation for se-
curing to myself q continuance In Office. On the
contrary, l had become dissatisfied with the ad-
ministration Of Mr.. Tyler, and my consequent de-
termination to resign my Office was avowcd aud
known to many friends now in this city.
The cause of my retirement is truly set forth in
my letter of resignation; and, under the imputa.
ton of Z" tenacity" of Office, cast upon me.
hope 1 may be excused for adding, that the cir
cums,ances Of my position, as I regarded them,
no consideration could have induced me to retain
my Office.
In corroboratiun Of his statements, Mr.. Spen-
Ger refers to promulgations in newspapers-to a
speech "by a Representative in Congress from
Massachusetts, lately delivered at Newburyport,
upon authority" and to g" the declaration of
member of Congress-"
If this PRONUNCIATION, speech, and declaration
are to the same effect with Mr. Spencers state
ments, they are answered by this reply to him !
and, though do not, otherwise than from his let
ter, know their import, shall, without the trouble
of further search or inquiry, content myself with
saying that they are incorrect to the whole extent
they may vary from the statement of facts | have
here made.
From information received, l suppose that
may, without hazard of mistake, infer that the
(" Representative in Congress from Massachu-
setts," and the {" member of Congress above
alluded to, are one and the same person, and that
the Hon. Mr. Gushing is that person.
Upon perusal of this statement, | trust that
those gentlemen will be convinced of their error !;
but, if not desire that all controversy in respect
20 the facts in question may be finally settled,
80 far as | am Individually concerned.
Before leaving my residence in Kentucky for
this place, had read Mr. Spencer's letter, and
had heard of MIR. Cusbing's speech, butt seemed
to me most proper to postpone any reply till
could make it here in the city of Washington, In
their presence. and in the presence of those mem
bers of Congress who were here at the date of the
transactions in question, and to whose information
or testimony they might wish to appeal. AT the
end of the present session those members will be
widely separated, and no opportunity equally fa-
vorable to a thorough investigation ever again
occur. If they desire to proceed with such an in
vestigation, now is the time. For myself, | rest
secure in the unimpeachable trath Of the state
ment l have here made.
Respectfully, yours, &c.

These works furnish complete series Of Spell
ling and primary Reading-Books for Schools, so
arranged as to illustrate each other and thus
greatly facilitate the progress Of the learner.
For instance, each lesson in the reading-book, or
'Speler's Companion, is made to exhibit the
different shades of meaning of the words con-
tained in some indicated section of the 'Speller
and Deiner,' obyiating the objectioa originally
and properly made to the latter, that it did not
set forth all the meanings Of the words it assumed
to define, and therefore might mslead where it
proposed to instruct. This Improvement was
much needed, and will do great good. Other i'm
provements and additions have been made in the
last editions in various parts of the orgsal series,
to which The Spoilers Companion is new and
very important accession.
MIR. Town has done much to promote the cause
of elementary Education among US by these books.
The idea of defining by parallel columns the words
in spelling lesson is good one, ia spite of the
mperfections which must attend its execution.
We still think Mr.. Cobo's new Spelling-Book in
respects the best get published; beside that,
we know no rival to Mr. Towns works : while
each exhibits vast improvements on any published
earlier than 1887.
