HON. ELISHA WHlTTLESEY.

The name Of this old gentleman has long
been associated in our mind with correc'
administration OF the financial affairs OF oul
government We had forgotten TO whs'
political party be belonged, nor indeed die
We care, SO that no faithfully discharged
the responsible duties, which Of lato years
have attached to him as FIRST Comptroller
Of lhe Treasury.
When we learned that upon the incom
ing of the present Administration he hae
resigned bis station, we indged from tn.
manner in which bis withdrawal was men
toned by the papers, that he had seized tbs
favorable opportunity to leave an office, the
duties Of which had become too operous fol
one at his time Of life. We became con
firmed in this conclusion from observing &
subsequent notice, stating that President
Pierce had urged Mr.. Whi.,lesey to con
,nue his labors.
In view Of these facts we we're no longel
left to doub, the political sentiments Of Mr.
Whi,tlesey, nor the demoniacsl ones oil
some OF our Locoioco cotemporaries, in oh
serving the following. with much more like
il, extensively circulated by them:-
.sHoS. ELISHA WHrrrLEsEy has resigned hi,
office a. First Comptroller Of the Treasury.
This announcement, will be most welcome on,
TO al parts OF the country. No tears will be
she'd over the loss of this officer, nor will the
Departments be closed in honor OF his retirement
We venture to say that no other man in the Gov
eminent service during the Wing Administa
ton (unless il be Thomas Corwin) has been the
occasion of so much trouble aud dissatisfaction
as this same NJ. Elisha Whi,ilesey.'
