</iuI the delay was not Bought at a meant and ocrutum Jjr kottile inurements." Now mark the dilemma in which iknw gentlemen are placed. Their complaint is, that the President would neither consult them about the Veto nor apolo gize to ihem for writing it 11 Anil why should he consult them! l>oe? it not appear, from Mr Kwing's declaration, that he refused to gratify tne President in obtaining a postponement of the bill; that aller hav ,ng pledged himself that he would aland by the Presi ileiit, ht' went over to the President'a enemies, and iimtt'J with tliein in their Whig caucua, to dictate in what luaiiner he should diacharge hi* ollicial duliea { That there may be no misapprehension, I wdl again quote Mr. Kwing's worda. Heaaya: "By aome of dm, anil 1 won myself one, the effort [to postpone the lull| wan made to gratify your wishes in the only ir.iy in which it could be done with propriety ; that liy obtaining the general concurrence of the Whig members of the two Houses in the |s>stponemeut. It failed, a? I have reason to believe, because you would i>ive no assurance that the delay wna not aought aa a means and occasion for hottile movement." What a picture ia here presented. The aworn Ca binet niiniHtcr acting in caucus in concert with a se i-ret cabal, to dictate to the Senate and to the Presi dent, and coerce them in the diacharge of tlieir official duty '!! Let it lie remembered that thia proceeding took place before the |utssage of the bill, and before the President withdrew hi* confidence from hi* Cabinet. I ask the candid leader to contract the course of l'reaident Tyler with that of hi* accuacrii. When he iMini' into office lie found the I Vparlmeiits filled with gentlemen selected by General liarriaon on the ad tiee of Mr. Clay, lie knew that upon the question of tlie Bank they did not agree with him. Instead of saying to them, my Cabinet uiuit harmonize with me, and you must resign, that I can appoint others who agree with ine in opinion, he candidly disclosed his opinions, and up|>calcd to them to "stand by" him.? They pledged themselves not only that they would stand by him and use their influence to prevent the pas sage of any bill conflicting with his opinion, but that they would do it to prevent the passage of any lull which he might suppose would be used as a basis or ground work of such a Bank aa the late Hank of the United States. (See Mr. Bell's state ment.) Did they fulfil their pledges ? The publica tion of Mr. Welwter's letter to the Massachusetts Se nators shows how he acted. lie did not go to Mr. ('lav and excuse himself by saying " 1 advised against the Veto." Me did not go into caucus and say, "The President wants the Senate to |io?tpone the Bank bill, but before you give your consent for such a postpone ment you should require him to give a pledge that, lln> delay is not " sought as a means and occasion for a hostile movement." lie did not close his eyes to Mr Butts' letter, nor did he shut his ears against Mr. I'lav's denunciation. When-he ascertained that the Piemdent " supposed," as he had good cause to sup pose that ihe bill, under consideration would, if ap I toved by liiui, be made the basis or groundwork of an unconstitutional Bank, he redeemed his pledge by nrntnn the Massachusetts Senators to postpone the bill, Very different was Mr. Ewing's conduct ; and can any one be surprised thai, under this state of facts, the President withdrew his confidence and ceased to consult Mr. Ewiiig? That there were pledges given and pledges broken, is most apparent, but it requires no less infatuation than that which seems to control the destiny of Mr. Clay and his par titans, to belisve that Mr. Ewing and his associates were the innocent and injured parly. A Thi'e Whiu. KOH TIIE M ADIHONI AN. MR. E WING'S LETTER. Ah one of the apparent object* of Mr. Ewing has been lo excite the sympathies of the people in his fa vor, by accusing President Tyler of " want of candor and straightforwardness," it is worthy the consi deration ol' n-Ill-olive men, how far Mr. Ewing himself may lie amenable to the very charge* he prefers against the Piesident?anil if it be found a mere ruse to di vert public scrutiny and indignation from himself, to one whom he knew, from his very position, could not retort ; how imjieriously does justice require, that they who have ihus been led to mistrust the President, should biand with infamy the author, and visit upon his head, the imprecations and anathemas, lie has cuu-cd to be invoked upon his innoccnt victim. Ei tlu r Mr. Ewing entirely misconceived the President, it us I have before asserted, he plotted to " head" linn. That he could not have misunderstood him, is e t iilent from the |>eru*al of his lettei, for, by his own admission, President Tyler made him repeal whalAe understood his opinions to be?and corrected him ao explicitly, that the dullest could but comprehend hiin? if, then, he did not misconceive him, the either propo sition follows, that he was ip the plot to head him.? 1 .et us now examine how the facts substantiate this assertion. Mr. Ewing asserts, that the Fiscal Agent lens framed and fashioned according to the 1'resi ilcnt's own suggestions this is unqualifiedly untrue, for it contained the discount feature, which he admits ilio President utterly condemned?now this, Mr Ewing says he knew, and yet asserts, it was the Pre sident's own suggestion?he, therefore, assortB a. false luiod, knowingly. And he says again, the President mid, "cannot yoli see that a bill passes Congress such as I can ajiprore without inconsistency ? I declared uir iinst my belief that such a bill might be." What ! tell the President a bill could pass, when he did not believe it? And this admission by the man who whs so shocked at the want of honesty in the President, lhat he could not conscientiously remain.? < *! shame, where is thy l>Wth." Who now, is the one that should complain of having been deceived, and betrayed! The President. After this confession ? it a deliberate falsehood, is Ml. Ewing entitled to cre -li'ilfie for either of his assertions against the Presi dent, evMi if they had not been proved false? and will it U- doubted thai he who, (as a private councillor of the President,) could thus brand himself with false hood ; could thus deceive his friend?that such a wretch would entrap him ? No. 1'resldent Tyler saw and felt it, and implored his " Cabinet to |>ostpone ? lie lull until the next session of Congress." And did they comply 1 Oh* no?they had headed him, and thought to dictate the terms on which they would al low him to remain in the Whig ranks, (or rather Clay party .) But conscious of the rectitude of his position, he would not putchase absolution at the expense of hi- self-degradation and accnration ; for Mr. Ewing say?, in relation thereto, " but you would neither give yourself, nor suffer them to give any assurance of your future course, in case of such |>ostponemcnt." Assurance of what future course ? He explains it thu? : It {the postponement) failed, as I have reason to believe, liecause you would give no dtsuranct that the ? If!,iv was not sought as a means and occasion for hus lil> movements." Hostile movements! " I thank thee, Jew, for teach ing me that word." Then the great cry of the " itn | eiimis demand anil want of a Fiscal Agent," was all lor i (feet ?and the great anxiety to serve the people, would have been ?p|ieased and the people might have w.iited until it suited the Cabinet's high pleasure, if the assurance had lieen given that it was not for hot l ie movements, Here's a pretty admission, lhat the L'reat interests of the country, (as they say,) was only tnl.ny ; the assurance, being the first considers tion?only let President Tyler have said, "Gentlemen, I ?ee you have headed me, now only postpone this bill that I may prepare such an one as I can conscienti fiu?lv approve, find I assure you, that you shall be re tnineil and the postponement would not have "failtd." Bui, honest John Tyl#f, (for thus he will be judged by the people,) could not barter away bis conscience, but thought " Good naiue, in man, *nJ woman, Is the immediate jewel or their souls " And lor thia high crime, this paragon of honesty and veracity, (Mr. Ewing,) with the moat barefaced, un blushing impudence haa dared to iui|ieach the Presi dent. An act of moral honesty un|>aralleled in these degenerate daya, and in (icrfect consistency with the tenor of hia eipresaed opinions through life. Hut he can exclaim with Brutus, 0,1 'lttYe done that you should l>? aorry for. 1 here is no terror, Caaaiua, in your threats ; For I am arui'd so strong in honeaty, 1 hat they pa?a by me, as the idle wind, Which 1 res|M-ct not." In.these remarks 1 have tried Mr Kwing by hia own admissions only, and if, in the comment*, the language has a|i|>earcd strong, I wish it to be observed, that I did but " commend the poisoned chalice to his lips"? and that as cataracts of denunciation have been pour ed on the head of the President, on the assertion, (without proof,) of the man who betrayed him. I thought it but mere justice, that the sympathies should be extended to the President, which, under false im pressions, had been withheld?and his betrayer stamp ed with the ignominy attaching to a liar and a traitor. . New jKHorr. Petkkhhuru, Va., Sept. 30th, 1811. D?:*h Sik?You will remember that the accuneni of President Tyler first attempted to show thut he had violated his pledges, which they sought to infer from his " Henrico letter," his Installation Address, and his Message to the extra ?M*ion, to the effect, ox they interpreted thein, that he would do what ??why, sign any sort of a Hank bill sent to him. On sifting those document* and ascertaining their true and exact iiii|iort, as the President's friends had done, and thus demonstrated that there had been no promise to sign any bill, but, on the contiary, strong intimations that he would sign none, his accusers abandoned tha charge, and started u new one, to this effect: that he trifled with and deceived his Cabinet. Thia charge by reason of the contradictions in the statements of the retired Secretaries and by other reasons, ha* been shown to be as unjust as the former one. The Pre sident Ktands erect before his country. In the Petersburg Intelligencer, I published an ar ticle on the 4th of September, 1841, vindicating the President againat the first charge, and in that paper and in this, and in the Richmond Whig, I have de fended him against the lust. 1 wish now to add only one view which I have not hitherto presented, or seen elsewhere. It is the duty of the President to receive from re tiring subordinates, the letters of resignation offered by them, liid he know the contents of a letter of re signation to be the vehicle of a personal insult, he yet could not consistently with the duties of his office, refuse to receive it. Mr. Ewing's letter of resigna tion did convey an insult by plainly imputing decep. lion and dishonor to the President's course in veto ing the second (or Mr. Sergeant's) bill. Even let it be granted, then, th'at Mr. Ewing was justified in re vealing the transactions of a Cabinet conference, und yet it is clear that he failed to consult the delicacies of the President's situation. It seems to me that the principles which should govern gentlemen in their of ficial intercourse, would and should have dictated to Mr. Ewing a respectful resignation to the President of the office in which he had been retained by him, and then, (if he must or would,) have made his in sulting revelation directly to the public. PUBLIUS. New Revenwe Act.?The New York American, alluding to the fact that the new Revenue art went into operation on the 1st mutant, says : It waft stated in our last, that great quantities of free good*, in anticipation of the duties imposed by this act, were |>ouring in, and moreover that of French good*, by far the laigest portion was for foreign ac count, or consigned to foreign houses here. The first part of this statement having been questioned in a Philadelphia paper, we have obtained tile following statcment|fiom the Custom House books, of the entries by two ships from Havie; and these it will be seen bear us out abundantly.

On the second jioint, the almost entire exclusion of Americans from llie French Trade, these shipments are not less significant?for about nine-tenths of the whole were lor foreign account, and entered by for eigners. Nor is it with French free goods alone that the mar ket is glutted.

" CONSTITUTIONAK< MMCAL AGBNCY." The article whicli recently appeared in this paper, on thin subject, and signed "A Member of'the 27th Congress," is exciting extensive dis cussion, and so far as we have observed, is more approved than condemned by both parties. The Lynchburg Virginian id doubtful on the subject, and says it is the same system in principle which was proposed by General Jackson, and thinks " it will be found to look better on paper than it will work." The Norfolk Ilerald seems to like the project. ?'A Boston Merchant," in the Hay State Democrat, highly approves of it, as '' altogether the best and most desirable prujet ever yet presented to the American people." A correspondent of the Boston Post slates several objections to the details, and fears it would be at once establishing a ?' paper currency," which seems to him especially horrific, and fears it would place the private funds of individuals too much under the control of the Government. The " New York Tribune" looks upon the scheme as ouly an improved edition of the Sub Treasury. The "Journal of Banking" says: " It appears to us to be the only kind of fiscal agen cy that can lie established without violating the Con stitution, and de|*rting from the true principles of Go vernment. It will be seen that an issue of notes forms u )?rt of the plan, but as they would be the re presentatives of gold and silver actually in deposit, they would be very different from bank-notes, which are mere bills of credit." The article in question, although not endorsed by us, has been extensively republished, and the discussion which is growing out of it will do no harm, but possibly may result in great good. The project is by no means new or original. Something similar lias been tried, we believe, at Venice, at Amsterdam, and at St. Petersburg. Russia adopted a similar system no longer a<;o than January, 1840?Russia, with a population of upwards of lifly-five millions, and an extr.it of territory comprehending nearly one-sixth of the entire compass of the earth. The system there introduced having produced a great change in commerce, relative to matters of account and the future calculation of goods by the silver standard, at courses of exchange in foreign mo ney, has, along with the conversion of all duties, rates, and expenses of merchandise into silver, given rise to the publication in London of the " Russia Traders' Assistant," fiom which the Merchant*' Magazine for October derives a mass of practical information, concerning Russian moneys, weights, and measures, the course of exchange, hills of exchange, ?Scc. The following extract will show that the Rus sian system is quite similar to that proposed by our correspondent, and it is one, says the Maga zine, ' by which the Russian monetary and bank note system has probably been rained to an insuperable degree of perfection. EXTRACT. " In Russia, an imperiul manifest, dated 1st of July, lfc3'J, re-established the silver standard of currency in that country as the lawful medium for the valuation of property, lixing the Int. of January, 1840, as the time from which the new system should lie fully and gen erally adopted throughout the empire, in lieu of the old liank notes or papor roubles; the latter were, by the same decree, to remain in circulation as a mere auxiliary medium of payment, at an invariable rato of 3 1-2 roubles hank notes for 1 rouble silver.? The amount of these old bank notes not having in latter times been increased, and proving rather insuf. | ficicnt for supplying the wants of the country of a convenient pajier medium of circulation, new addition, al bank notes lepresenting silver, (probably intending to supersede the old ones by degrees,) were created, 6v establishing a silver-deposit office at St. I'eters burgh, under the superintendence and management of a mixed board of directors, composed of government bank qfflcers and respectable first-class mershants, which is empowered to receive voluntary deposits of speiis, and to issue in lieu thereof silrer-dqtosit-cash notes, payable to bearer on demand, the deposits re ceived having to be held by the board untouched, at the constant disposal of the notes so issued. This deposit cash began its operations in January, IH40, and has since been very busy receiving deposits as well as ex changing notes for specie. By these im|s>rtant de crees, the KuNsinn monetary and bank note system has probably been raised to an insuperable degree of perfection," Sic. The Baltimore American affects to doubt whether there was a combination against the President among the ultra-friends of the Bank at the late extra session. It was well known, for it was avowed, some two or three weeks before the first Veto, that,theultrn-Bank Whigsintend ed, in the event of a Veto, to force the Cabinet to break up, and to issue a Manifesto to the Peo ple. We know that this was the plan contem plated. As one visible evidence of it, the co lumns of the New 1'ork Courier A. Enquirer, were teeming with threats and denunciations in advance. As another, more conclusive, Mr. Bolts' letter to the President bearing date Au gust 10th, published in that member's speech, presented the consequences we have alluded to, as a terror to the President to force submission. The Courier and Enquirer called on the Cabinet to resign, and Mr. Botts declared tliev must and would, and that the President would thus be left in a dilemma, without a Cabinet, and with out, as they hoped, the power to select one from the Whig party. Surdry causes operated to prevent the fulfilment of these predictions upon the first Veto, hut after the second, they were fully verified. The preconcerted plan was car rid out, although weeks past after it was cou ceived. The election for Governor of Maryland takes place on Wednesday next. The opposing candidates are W. C Johnson and Francis Thomas. We call the attention of our readers to the able ad dnss of Hon. C. Ct shinc;, of Massachusetts, " to bis constituents." fjT Correspondents are again informed that letters relating to their papers, or to offices for which they may be applicants, are not taken from the office, on les- free of |>ostage. Tliere are now remaining in the Post Office, letters from Warrenton, N. C.; New York; Boston; and Utica, on which postage is un paid.

The editor of the New York Courier and Enquir" hu worked himaelf up into a violent rage ajjairmt tUe President and the Sco.etary of the Navy. Tkt wrath of Achillea ia mere inoonahine compared to the aub lime paaaion of thia redoubtable champion, and hia diatinctiona of crime hid fair to rival the aageconclu aiona of that |u?t|y-celebrated magistrate, Maaler Dogberry. To knock down a watchman ia " flat burglary " To call Dogberry an a?a ia " overt trea aon." Now, if thia lulitor had not auch a propensity to explode, on all occaaiona, one would be apt to aup po?e, from a late article in hia pa|ier, that ihe country waa on the verge of a volcano, about to hurat forth, and blow up the Republic, aky high! But hia fre quent tantruma have taught hi? readeta to expect lit tle elae than aiaoke from hia laboratory. lie intimatea that he haa already convicted the l're aident of "treaaon" to the Whig paity, and that he i* now chargeable with treaion to the country, tie haa recently diacovered a book entitled the "Partiaan Leader,"containing treaaon againat the United Statea. Having eatablished the fact, that the work ia Irenaon able, he boldly aaaerU, that the Preaident "know*" that the Secretary of the Navy wrote the book, and in the aaine hrcatn, hu aaya, that the Secretary ? guilty, "if he be the author" of the woik in queation. Now it ao hap|>en? that Judge Tucker iathe reputed author of the woik, and thua the whole charge fall* to the ground, a* Hie fooliah offspring of a heated imagina tion. Nevertheless, (bin book imnudu (.retell for a fero- I Clous attack on the President and the Secretary of the avy. It i. considered as just such a work as would lead to the "conviction and trecution" of the author, but li?r the iuifiortant fact, that anortrl act is necessary to consummate high treason. How very fortunate for the President and his Secretary that the Constitution renders it essential to crime that the act should he committed. Sancho Pan/a reasoned in regard to the government of an Island, that "it might come along when he least expected it." So it might lie with the President and Secretary. They might find themselves guilty of treason when they "least expected it." Of the hook referred to, never having seen it, we know nothing more than the version of its contents lurnished by the Courier and Enquirer. It is repre sented as a " Tale of the Future," and contemplates the establishment of Martin Van Buren as immanent Piesident as King in all respects but title, and his son at the head of the aimy, with the understanding ot succeeding him. It is, in fact, a fictitious history, and presents an imaginary view of what would lie likely to ensue, in case any President should usurp an hereditary dictatorship. Under such circumstances, the Union would soon lie dissolved, and the different section* of the country would seek emancipation from immediate despotism, each in its own way. It is, how ever, all an imaginary atate of affairs, written proba bly for the amusement of the author, just prior to the last national election, and, for aught that appears to the contrary, was designed as an electioneering effu sion, to defeat the re-election of Mr. Van Buren. In such cases, it is common to allude to the ambitious views and monarchical propensities of candidates to throw out warnings of consequences to such aspi rants, and thus appeal to the power of the people to pnt them down. This being the tendency of the work in question, if it had any effect In defeating the re-election of Mr. Van Buren, so much the better. In consequence of the eiistcnce of such a work, the Courier and Enquirer invokes Congress to insist on the immediate dismassal of Judge Upshur from the Cabinet, on pain of impeachment. This would l>e carrying out with a vengeance the plan proposed in the address?to rtslruin the Executive. Mr. Clay is lor edecting this revolutionary measure by amending the Constitution. His eager partisan would accom plish the object in a more summary mode?by im|ieach ment; and if this could not be accomplished, his next step would probably be to apply the coup dc greet to I ie resident and his Secretary, on suspicion, without ju ge or jury. He makes no scruple to call them " traitors," and we all know the penalty for treason. Hut do the political enemies of President Tyler-of whom the editor of the Courier and Enquirer is one of the most violent suppose that they can humbug the eople by such scandalous assaults on their Chief Magistrate? Look at the acts of the case! An imaginary history is denounced as treasonable : one ol the Secretaries is falsely chaiged with being its author; on this groundless charge,-mere moonshine if it were true but an it happens, an impudent un truth on this charge, the President himself in held up to scorn, as a traitoi to his country, and Congress is gravely culled upon to impeach him, on suspicion, that he wishes to dismember the Union, of which he is the sole Chief Magistrate ! As well might a com manding General be charged with seeking to divide and dismember his army, and encourage one division to revolt against himself; ?, well might a man be sus pected of conspiring with banditti, to plunder his house, as for John Tyler to be charged with combin ing with traitor, to sever the Union, and overthrow I the Government, of which he is the head ! And yet the editor of the Courier and Enquirer ha. under taken to make such a pre|iosterouscharage again.! the I resident of the United States. Such wild fanaticism is stranger than fiction.

We have watched the attacks which have been made upon him, from the outset, and should have noticed them before, had we not perceived that his assailants, by the various and coiitiadictorv assertions which they were mak ing in regard to his course, were discrediting themselves in the most effectual manner. We found, also, that the more able and moderate por tion of the press throughout the country were uniformly taking ground in favor of the views entertained by Mr. Cushing. Already, we be lieve, the vast majority of the Whig party are convinced that the course adopted by Mr. Web ster and Mr. Cushing, is the only course which can be pursued, compatible with the prosperity of the country and the safety of the Whig party. The first charges against Mr. Cushing were made in the New York Courier. Webb, the editor of this paper, was an ajiplicant lor the New York Post Office j and President Tylei having disappointed his expectations of obtain ing that office, he came out against the Presi dent, and all the Whigs in the Cabinet and in Congress who did not desert him, with ranco rous hostility. The attacks upon Mr. Cushing in Webb's paper, have, as might have been ex pected, found an echo in certain quarters, where secret jealousy or disappointed ambition pre vailed. But the progress of events is now sc clearly and rapidly developing the correctness ol the course and the views of our distinguished representative, that his accusers will soon find their own safety from popular indignation only in silence. When we first found suspicions and insinua tions put forth concerning the political integrity of Mr. Cushing, we were willing to wait anil see whether or not these suspicions were sus tained by evidence. We have waited, and we have seen?what? Not a particle of proof ol even the slightest and most unsubstantial char acter.?Nevburyport Herald.
