"SstEuapoh Va AuS Suiei bAaHlueF oI faNentS,
The following letter sets forth the which have
induced this gentleman 10 resign bis Office. II will be
read with interest BY all those who concerned in the
operations OF the Patent Office
NEWPORT, Or, ~ July IS, 1852
DEAR SIR In pursuance of an inumation gave you
some days SINCE hereby resign the Office OF chief ex.
amner of paten,s to take effect with the close of this
month
Being sincerely attached to the Patent Office, and de-
voted to the great interests under it's charge and having
for upwards OF twelve years exerted myself
in season and out OF season, sustain and elevate the
character OF the one and to foster and promote the ad
vancement OF the other it will be readily understood that
abandon my post with regret Although proper re-.
gard for my interests might have dictated an earlier
withdrawal, have naturally chung with uncbangng a
lection to institution over The infancy of whose pres
organization have watched, and whose steps have
labored to guide towards firm useful, and honorable
maturity But the prospects which have hitherto ami
mated me are dakened, and reluctantly retire from
position in which my bes-drected efforts parayzed
by beyond my control.
In order that the Patent Office may maintain the po-
son and preserve the consistency, confidence, and
spect which its Importance demands, and which
sentia to its usefulness, is necessary that its head
should exercise the aauthory which Congress for wise
purposes conhded TO him. with that degree of frmness
and Independence which the law was intended to secure
and which, until the last three years, never ques
ton invaded IL s easy to perceive that consistency
OF action be preserved where there is frequent au
thoative interference, and that Office can command
respect when pursuing the devious Of conduct
which such interference, exeried at time and with
held at another must enevably produce and whenever
any institution whose dongs directly home to the
people is held responsible for acts which ], cannot
troll the reputation OF that institution must be speedily
undermined. and the reputation Of all it, principal officers
must be linked with its ruin. The reputation OF the
must drag with il the reputation OF the other.

The Republics Attack upon Hon. Mr.. Meri.
wcther and his Resolution OF Inquiry.

In lS4s the wings thought it necessary pass through
Congress resolution of inquiry upon the subject of the
pay and extra pay received by Gen. Cass and Gen. Taylor
In 1852 the democrats thought proper institute the
Inquiry with reference to General Scott and General
Piercesome OF the wing senators concuring and voting
for the resolution Thereupon, instead of remaining
quiet until the resolution responded to by the Secre-
ary of War. the Republic out with an offensive at
tack upon Senator Meiweher for having introduced the
resolution. II is true that democrat rarely gains any.
thing by following whig example bat in this case we
think it perfectly right offer the chalice their own
lips which they have heretofore pressed upon others and
certainly the wings should be the last open their mouths
in complaint against the proceeding,
The Republic seems to think, or would have its
readers believe, that the only object of this inquiry
is to asceraia the comparative amounts received by
General Scott and General Pierce, respectively bu,
the slightest examination of the resolution will make
the Republics error apparent The principal object Of
the resolution is to ascertain the amounts, if any, ue-
gdiy received retained by either of the parties and
hence it is, presume that the Republic makes this
effort to oresta public opinion. We say the Republic
bde your time !" for If this resolution is fairly and
honestly answered-as hope and believe it will be-
you will have enough to do to defend your candidate,
without wasting your energies in premature attacks upon
an honorable and minded SENATOR whose only fault
consists in having for in his OF service fol-
lowed in whig footsteps II everything is right in the
pay accounts Of General Scott then the inquiry does
harm II otherwise, then great good may grow out of it,
In conclusion, we will say, that from Mr.. Meri-
wethers character it is not at all likely that he has
moved in this matter without having knowledge
to the developments to be made.
