GENTLEMEN Your letter on the occasion of my
neral Land Office Of the United States has just been
placed in my hands and be assured that it is received
with the most unaffected sensibility. If have been
enabled to discharge the duties of the office which
have just resigned, in an acceptable manner, feel
that has been because of your own able support
support the efficient, because always cheeruly
rendered. Although relations, both personal and
official are about to terminate | shall not cease 70
feel deep interest in your prosperity and happiness
| shall ever recur to our intercourse with pleasure
marked it has been by mutual kindness and mutual
for aftr ALL the tolls and vexations of office
here or elsewhere, are only rendered tolerabe when
tempered by the couresies of life In assuming the
new duties to which the kindness of my Government
has called me- Experience but regret, and that is
in parting perhaps forever with those whose unvary-
ing regard, while here, has placed me under many
obligations. In the quiet and less aborous post
to which am about to repair shall not forget you,
and t, my last hour shall cherish, most gratefully,
this last and acceptable evidence of your friend
ship.
| With warmest wishes for your individual happi-
ness and prosperity,
remain, most cordially,
Your friend and obedient servant,
E. M HUNTINGTON.
To Jno. M. Moore, Esq, principal clerk, and others
clerks in the General Land Office of the U. States.

CONGRESS-.

On Tuesday, in the House, Mr.. Brockway
was, on his own motion, excused from the Com
mttee on Post Offices on account of indispos-
ton.
On leave, Mr. Calhoun offered a resolution
calling on the Secretary of War to furnish a
schedule of the pay, under all its forms, to the
officers of the Army above the grade of Leute-
nant e@,
The Speaker then laid before the House two
communications in relation tothe New Y ork Gus
tom House report one from the President, nclos-
ING letter from b F. Butler, late Attorney Of the
United States TO New ork and another from the
Secretary The main point of Mr.. Buffers let
ter was request that he might be put In pos
session of charges and proofs thereof, made
against himself if any. He had not seen the
report, but had learned that he was implicated
by ordinations contained in it.
A motion was made to print these communl-
cations. Objection being made, Mr.. Everett
called for the reading of them, and afterwards
the motion for printing was carried.
A communication was also laid before the
House from the Secretary of the Treasury,
stating the emoluments of the District Attorney
and Clerk of Mississippi 1t was ordered to be
printed.
The Speaker also laid before the House pa
pers in relation to the Florida election. This
also was ordered to be printed.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, in the char,
and took up the Civil Appropriation bill. The
Senate amendment, increasing the appropria-
ton for the Marine Hospital in Mobile to
$4,000, was concurred in. On the amend
ment and proviso, in relation TO the Boston
Custom House, protracted debate arose. FL
nally, the vote being taken with regard to the
Senate amendment it was found there was no
quorum.
The committee rose and reported the fact,
when cal of the House was ordered-l26
members answering to their names On the
motion of Mr.. Fillmore further proceedings In
the call were suspended and the House again
went into committee. The Committee of the
Whole refused to concur in the amendment of
the Senate granting 100000 to the custom
house in Boston, The sum of $4,000, origi-
nalIv ordered by the House, remained in the
bill.
On the next Senate amendment which ap-
propriates $4,000 for payment of sums now
due for completing the custom house at New
Y ork, Mr. Profit made. in opposition to the
amendment, an able speech, maniiesting great
industry of research. The principal point of
his objection rested on the fact, that the money
now called for had been already spent without.
the authority of Congress, and in the teeth of
the refusal of Congress TO appropriate the mo-
ney. His speech opened the debate, and MIR,
Fillmore followed in an elaborate reply.

thoriZes him to nterdict lawful trade between the
United States and Texas or to prevent or attempt
to prevent individuals from leaving the United states
for Texas, or any other foreign country
IL such individuals enter into the service oil lexas,
or any other foreign State the Government OF the
United States no longer holds them the shield oil
lis protection They must stand fall IN their new
y-assumed character and according to the fortunes
which may betde 1t. But the Government OF the
United States cannot be called upon to prevent their
emigration and II must be added, that the Constu-
uon, public treaties, and the laws, obige the Presi
dent to regard Texas independent State, and Its
territory as no part OF the territory OF Mexico Every
provision OF law, every principle of neutral obliga-
ton, Will be sedulously enforced in relation to Mex-
co, as IN relation to other Powers, and to the same
extent and with the same integrity of purpose All
this belongs to the constitutional power and duty Of
the Government, and it will all be fulfilled. But the
continuance OF amity with Mexico cannot be pur-
chased at any higher rate. II the peace Of the two
countries is to be disturbed the responsibility will de-
yolye on Mexico. She must be answerable for con-
sequences. The United States, let it be again re-
peated, desire peace. 1t would be with infinite pain
that they should find themselves in hostile relations
with any of the new Governments this continent
But their Government is regulated, limited, full of
the spirit of liberty, but surrounded, nevertheless
with just restraints and greatly and ferventy it
desires peace with all States and especially with its
mole Immediate neighb rs, yet fear Of different
state of things be allowed to in errupt its course
of equal and exact justice to all nations, nor ostle
it of the constitutional orbit in which it revoves

PRESIDENT TYLER.

The wayne County He aid, of the 7th instant, the
leading Democratic paper in that county, in noticing
the of President Tyler disapproves of Of
his acts. But (says the editer) he has vetoed two
National Bank bills, and the little tariff bill " as it
is called, and in so doing has shown an integrity of
purpose and devotion to Democratic principles
worthy of all praise. In fact, in these acts he has
shown himself not whit behind General Jackson
himself in frmness and fearlessness in the hour of
trial. But the greatest and best thing he has done
for the Democratic party and for the country itself
is the utter destruction of the great Wing party
which he has accomplished in way which does
him the highest honor. This gratifying, grand re-
suit of his Administration, has been produced by an
honest consistent straightforward on his part
and an adherence to Democratic pesno tricks,
management, no sacrifice of principles, no ambi-
tous grasping after power and popularity. He has
made no efforts to njurc, much less to destroy, the
party which placed him where he is, but that party
has been most emphatically, gentceIy, and decenty
used up by implication That party is, for all political
intents and purposes, no more. Out Of its ruin we
have already what Mr.. Wise has named the 81 Loco
Veton party and shall probably have another
party out of the same ruins under what name we can
not guess but they will rally under Henry Clay and
protective tariff, topped off with National Bank
Buth Whigery and Conservatism have become stale
and Improbable, and for Federalism it is unver-
sally repudated at least in name. The great body of
the Democratic party remains firm and united, be-
cause IT is based upon principles which are as cndur
ing as the sun himself What better evidence do we
need of the truth and potency of Democratic prnci-
pies than is furnished by the Administration of John
Tyler-a man who came into power under the aus
pieces of the great Wing party but who, to save the
country and its institutions, found necessary to
duct his Administration upon those principles to
which that party is, and has been, most radically
hostile Is not this enough for u.s. ifthere were nothing
more, to make us love and hug to our hearts more
firmly than the principles of Jefersonian Demo.

SIR After writing to you on the 9Th instant, re-
celved, through the same channel the former Mr..
de Bocanegra's nd letter, and at the same time
letter of the 2ist This last letter of Mr. de Bo-
canegra written, you will see before il was
possible for him to expect to his first
which is forwarded, and shows the
groundess nature of the complaints of Mexico. The
letter itself is highly exceptionable and offensive.
1t lmputes vioat of honor and good faith the
Government of the nited States only in the
unjust but in the most INDIGENOUS manner. You
have not spoken it in terms too strong your cir
cuar to the members of the diplomatic corps.
On The receipt Of this, you will write note to Mr..
de Bocanegra, In which you will say: That the Sec
reiary of State of the United State the 9th Of Ju-
y, received his letter of the 3lsl of May that The
President of the United States considers language
and tone of that letter derogatory the character of
the United States, and highly offensive, impuies
to their Government direct breach of faith and that
he directs that other be given to it than
the dec auton that the conduct Of the Government of
the nted States In regard to the war between Mexi-
CO and Texas, having been always hitherto governed
by strict and Impartial regard to lis neutral ohEga-
tons, wi not be changed or altered in any respect
in any degree. If for this the Government of Mexico
shall see tit to change the relations at present existing
between the two countries the respon blity remains
with herself.
