The time was when he had an arm for his invaded country, and for the injured and oppressed, and he has a voice for them still. It is the apprehension that his countrymen will Iiearh that they will listen to it that they will vindicate and avenge their honest and injured public servants, which is filling the managers of the "new coalition"' with terror and dismay. They fear, that the people will identify the insulted President and the injured Minister thatMordccai maybe exalted to the seat of Hainan. It is their fears which give this character to the letter,
not its words. The President never wrote an electioneering letter for nnisKLF. The gold of Peru could not tempt him to do it now. But he is not likely to ho restrained from replying

PRESIDENTS LETTER. The admirable reply of the President, to the Republican Members of the New York Legislature, 3ids filled his enemies with consternation. Its plain truths and fearless tone have swrept away their last hope of deceiving the people into a belief, that the "new coalition.'" in the Senate, were actuated in
the rejection of Mr. Van Burcn, by any just
or patriotic motive. In their desperation,
they seized upon the expedient of representing the letter as an attack on the Senate, and an electioneering defence of Mr. Van Burcn!
What! has it come to this, that the Chief
Magistrate of this Republic must maintain silence under every injustice, and not even reply, with candor and dignity, to the respectful address of the people whom he serves 1 Must he be precluded from assuming the responsibility of his own act; from declaring how far that responsibility has been unjustly cast upon others; from giving a brief detail of the reasons on which those acts were predicated? Must he be deprived a right sacredly reserved by our institutions to the humblest citizen that of being heard in his' own defence? The Senators who yotcd against the nomination, have not maintained the silence which it is now called a crime in the President to break, lest they should be considered as making disrespect
ful charges against a co-ordinate branch of
the government. Their speeches, uttered in secret session, have been written out, conned over, printed and sent out in newspapers and pamphlets, into every corner of the Union. None of these sensitive gentlemen then raised their voices against the Senators for attacking a co-ordinate branch ;of the government. All this'ivW, in their estimation, right and proper; butno sooner does the Chief Magistrate, whom those speeches attack, write to a committee of his fellow citizens, a letter about as long as the shortest of them in his def nee, plain and dignified in its language and tone, than he is charged with an attack cn the Senate! Whit w.-sthc charge against the President promulgated in the" Senators speech? It was tlu't he had appointed as minister to Great Britain, a man who had sought to destroy the morality of society at home and dcgiMuod his country abroad. Does he retort any charge upon them? No, he contents himself with assuring his countrymen, that the charges against his minister and consequently against himself, are totally unfounded. He repel?; but he does not attack. He shows that the attack cn himself has no I
basis in truth or in ihc public good; but he docs not impeach those who have made it. If any man of th-t class in the Senate or out,

We understand that the rumor is current in Washington, that Mr. Clay is about to redeem the famous pledge he made in 1823, nine years .ago, to ex poe certain things, put forth at that day by J. Q.Adams. There is some thing peculiar about the dt ed commit ted by some of the great men in past years, and the people are truly anxious to have the truth of it, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; which it is expected Mr. Clay will give, and no longer keep the promise to the ear and ''break it to (he sense."

and give his support to Mr. Clay. In South Carolina a powerful party, which now controls the legislation of the state, has openly avowed the doctrines of nullification, and threatened to dissolve the Union! At the head of this party, which has also raised its Hydra rform in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, Mr. Calhoun, Alee President of the U. States and candidate for the Presidency, has boldly stepped forforward and declared himself the champion! Mr. Clay's high Tariif principles must, in ail the South, forever preclude the idea of his receiving our electoral votes. Then the question with us is reduced literally to this, "Jackson and Union or Calhoun and Disunion.''' Can the patriot the man who loves his country and wishes to promote the permanence of her free institutions, hes

Can he for one moment desire to see a man elevated to the highest otlice of the government whose doctrines, like poisonous exhalations from the fabled Upas, infuse political disease and death wherever they spread? We regard it as morally impossible, after the avowal of such sentiments, for Mr. Calhoun ever to reach the Presidential Chair and if such event could, by any possibility, occur, would it not go far to establish his destructive and dangerous doctrines! As he
has rendered great and important services to his country, we regret his fall, but as we prefer "the welfare of Home to the glory of Caesar,' we cannot under these circumstances, desire to see it averted. "Those who might wish to see Mr. Clay elected by the votes of the Tariif states, should not shut their eyes to the probable

If, under the Presidency of one whose policy has certainly inclined to favor the interests of the South, this excitement has prevailed to such an extent, and raged witli such fervor as to threaten a dissolution of the Union, would it he wise, would it he prudent, would it be safe, to elect Henry Clay in his stead ? one w ho of all men is most hateful to the milliners ,- who in short, is the very father of the sys

right of search. On the first point, a very curious concession is made in the Times, ikby stating it as the opinion of intelligent and dispassionate men, that the letter of the treaty, of which the construction is subjudice, appears to he more favorable to America; but its spirit, and the necessary meaning of the parties who signed it, to be obviously on the side of this (England) country." The known connexion between the London Times and the Whig ministry nowm power, gives a more than usual importance to this declaration. An acknowledgmen of ihc legal and international right in the United States, controlled only by the obvious necessities of the colonics for an
internal communication, presents us at once with the "vantage ground" in the negotiation. It is very evident, that up to the close of last year, the most conciliatory spirit existed in the British Government to arrange tho controversy on amicable terms on such terms as would be satisfactory to Maine and the Union.
