One OF the Washington correspondents of the Baltimore
Sun has stated some errors, which we beg leave to
rect "lon' writes ION the sth) that
SIN pursuance Of the hint which General TAYLOR threw
out his private Conversations as to the propretv of
resignation the part of civil officers opposed the
coming administration several highly respectable function
aries have already resigned Mr. Graham Register of the
Treasury has resigned and left the city. The Commits.
sioner of the Land Office Judge Young, will do the
to-day"
We do not know to what "hint" the correspondent
REFERS but satisfied that Major Graham did not
resign his Office in consequence of any such apprehen-
sion. He invited by his particular friend, Mr.
Polk, to accept the Office of Register and he had long
since made up his mind to retire to Nashville with him.
The statement about Judge Young is Incorrect because
the Judge has not resigned and verify believe that
he has no intention OF resigning For our own part we
do not hesitate to say, that if in public Office,
threat, panic would induce us to resign We would
die with the dignity of the old Roman, who held forth
his neck 10 the sword OF the executoner.
The same letter furnishes the following particulars:
Nominations first to be in for offices whose terms
are about to expire, and for offices of new creation.
The nominations for the board of Mexican

The inaugural.

There is omission in this paper, which strikes every
one who reads il with The President does not mi
tate his predecessor in disclaimng all intention OF
ming for second term
He does not expressly name the veto, the
which he means to pursue relation TO Its exercise
But his declaration regard TO the regulating power OF
Congress is tanamoun in large variety OF questions
10 its abandonment by the President After specifying
several constitutional measures which he may conceive
il his duty TO recommend 10 Congress, and among these
the important and debatable power OF improving our
rivers and harbors he adds this clause Bu il is for the
wisdom of Congress ITSELF in which all legislative powers
vested by the constitution 10 regulate these and other
matters OF policy" Are to understand by this that it,
after recommending constitutional measures" Congress
should think fit to pass unconstitutional regulations he
will still waive his right and his Duty and at sanction
their measue II this be his doctrine, how he take
for his guide the example of tine Father OF his Coun-
try who vetoed two bils-and of these not the
grounds of unconsti,uonali,y' There is mystery in
all this which we do not pretend to understand.
The President takes another position, which is not
compatible with the opinions of Mr. Jefferson, if he is TO
be taken as guide" among the earlier Presidents
The inaugural says, that for the Interpretation of that
instrument, uhe constitutional shall look to the decisions
of the judicial tribunals established by its authority,
and to the practice OF the government under the earlier
Presidents who had so large share in its formation
Mr. Jefferson, the contrary maintained, that the
President himself takes oath to support the constu-
ton, his conscience must be his guide in dis
charging the executive functions Mr.. Madison, in
case adopted somewhat different rule; but. another,
he directly conflicts with the inaugural In his celebrated
veto the last act of his administration he expressly de-
MES the authority of the federal government internal
improvements and he, too, among the earlier Presi
dents.
But the more the inaugural, the more difficult
find it to reconcile its several posons--few and un-
committed they are. It contains no suggestion, as
was expected upon California, or the Wmot Proviso.

HE FISHERMAN.... BIZ JOHN @. eAxB.
There lived an honest fisherman,

Who lived hard By . little pond.

A grave an quiet man was he,
Who loved his hook and rod 4:

His neighb0Ys thought II ODD. "
For sciencs and for books, he said.
He never had wish
No school to him was worth fig.
Except school of fish.

A danble calling had
10 tend his flock in winter time.
In summ fish for shad.
In short, this honest fisherman

And though no vaTrapt man was ne
