MIR. John MINOR Bolts.

In our article Of Yesterday, in which we think
we clearly proved TO the country the infamous
conspiracy on the part Of the ultra wing, 10
force from his seat the constitutional Chief Ma
gistrate, we omitted 10 mention two addiuona'
confirmatory facts: The first IS, that the advice
OF the Missouri Republican was followed ID
several sections OF the country, aud blank pc
tilons praying the President TO resign, were
eirculated in order TO obtain The signatures OF
the {" Acknowledgement Of which were sent
in 10 The President, and one by an ultra member
of Congress. The second is, that although
Congress was to adjourn at two o'clock on Mon
day, aud the Constitution denies 10 the Presl-
dent the rig',t TO ill any vacancy during the
recess of Congress, which occurred during It's
session, his Cabinet deferred their resignationun-
I'll Saturday, and, the last resignation that oil Mr.
Granger, vas held back until 5, p. m thus al
lowing the President only the short space oil
time between that hour on Saturday and TWO
on the Monday following TO form new Cabinet
aud 10 send il in TO the Senate for continuation,
and TO have il confirmed: task which was
universally supposed TO be impossible In The
stance wherein man, however lofty his intel
lect and cool his blood and calm his nerves,
has been known to act with as much IA
pidiry in ding himself with his Govern
ment officers. Is il possible that the country
cannot see at glance, that this was but The
fnale' of the plot which, as Mr.. Bolts says
in his Coflee-house letter, was 10 "fdsten and
head The President"
| In the speech delivered by the very remarka-
Bile Mr. Bolts, on the 10th September, 1s4l, up
on the second Veto he says:
"Much confidential and private conversation had,
| in time passed between the President aud himself,
and which he should forever bury in his own bosom
He should NOT repeat private conversations or publish p-
rate letters"
| What has occurred since that time 10 warrant
Mr.. Bolts in making public, in the Richmond
Wing Of the 10Th May last, "prirdte and con.
fdenfiai conversations" between himself and
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which occurred in
the private bed room of-ay, even in bed with
the President, if he is to be believed? What
has the President done TO Mr.. Bolts since then ?
Or what grave political charge has been made
against him What new cause of enmiiy on
the part of Mr.. Bolts towards him Weknow
of nothing He now, therefore, comes for
ward aud gralutously divuges to the word
parts of "three pirate and confidential con
rersdtions" which he says ,ranspred between
himself and the President in the never TO be vio-
lated chambers Of the President; and, even be-
fore contradiction, pursues most unusual
course fer gentleman 10 pursue, as if his posi-
! tive word was 10 be doubted and not believed,
and attaches solemn oath, sworn upon the holy
bible, TO their corectness-lhus insanely laying,
as il may be proven, absolute perjury IL his soul
| He throws himself in the awkward altitude OF
becoming both accuser and witness Of man
who, instead of crushing him, as he might have
done months ago, permitted him 10 pour forth
all the vials of his wrath for a space of more
than year, without once retorting upon him.
| Throughout the whole of his statement, il is
easy TO discover that he i, acting under the inn
| pulses Of Lis noturally suoug passions and vim
diclive feelings, reused and excited 10 an in
tense madness by his recent defeat as a
candidate for Congress-that he cares lit e
what he says, and u,ters forth such low
and profane language that even Wing
sheets refuse to publish it-that, unlike
one lrrgardful Of truth, he contradict,
himself IN The outset, and gives detail after de-
tail, the very words, The very expressions, The
exact syllablrs Of those conversations which
transpired more Than two years ago, and VII oh
run over nearly three columns oflhe Wing. Fol-
he swtars that what he has ated i, "iiferaHU
true" Would any man who had any regard for
veracty do this !? The most careful reporter
with pencil in hand, even at the time the word 5
ia ! from ones lip, too often makes important
mistakes, which, after the whole character OF
what is said, and without his pencil it is but
rarely he can give even the substance in the
next mornings newspaper In what wonder.
ful pIedcameni, then, does Mr.. Bolts place him
self, when he, aftera lapse Of Two vedrs, under.
takes TO give the exact words, and in exact or.
der, OF three conversations, and when he took
no note ofthose conversations at the timer lie

explanation Of his Coffee House letters, or in
his speech made in Congress on September lO.h,

men OF October, 5th, 42, assign bis reasons for
the charges Of "peridy which he had made
against the President" although they were all
written or made in relation TO the same subject
with that Of May, 10th list. No no! He
must fist wait until the sting Of his defeat may
in the public estimation throw aveil over his at
