Your friends and servants, ROBERT GILMOR, And Members cf the Committee. Washington, Sept. 14, 1841. Gentlemen: In the midst of preparations for my departure to my home, I have received, by the hand of the gent!-

men who have done me the honor to wait upon me. yonr obliging communication bearing dae this day, transmitting a reso Union adopted at a public meeting held in Baltimore yesterday, by which it is proposed to distinguish my expected visit to that city by signal pubiic demonstrations. I pray you, gentlemen, and those who constituted that meeting, to accept my irratpfu! und respectful acknowledgements for h'9 new and gratifying proof of attachment and confidence. I should em

brace with pleasure the opportunity of ris'ting your city at this time; hut jaded, as I am, by the arduous labors of the session of Congress just closed, and sharing with the companions of my jeurney an eager anxiety to terminate it without delay, I regret that I mutt postpone a visit to your city to some future day. If, gentlemen, all has not been accomplished at the late session of Congress that the public interests demanded, more, much more, has been effected than I anticipated at its commencement. If we hare been greatly disappointed in the failure of repeated attempts to establish a sound currency, regulate exchanges, and separate the purse from tho sword, what American citizen, what Whig will, on that account surrender himself to the fentiments of an ignoble despair? Who will not say that we will persevere with redoubled courage, until every remaining of jprt of the glorious revolution of November last shall be completely conummAted? ball we be discouraged because one mn presumes to set up hi individual will ngainst the will of the nation? On the contrary. 1ft us supprndd to the previous duties which we lay under to our country that of plucking from the Constitution this sign of arbitrary power, this odious but obsolete vestige of royal prerogative. Let us by a suitable amendment to that instrument declare that the veto, that parent and fruitful source of all our public i'ls. shall itself be overruled by majorities in the two houses of Congress. They would persuade us that it is harmless because its office is preventative or conservative! as if a nation might not be as much injured by the arrest of the enactment of good laws as by the promulgation of bad ones! 1 am. gentlemen, greatlv deceived, notwithstanding the astounding developments recently made, if the Whig cause is not tronger than'ever it was. Resting, as it does, upon truth,- sound policy, and enlightened patriotism, its votaries must be false and faithlesj. if it does not gloriously triumph. nofwithstandytgvany temporary disappointment.Accept, gentlemen assurances, of the high regard and esteem of your friend and obedient servant, H. CLAY. Messru. Robert Gilmor, tc, tc. Washington, Sppt. 18. 1841. Messrs. Gales &, Seaton: I deem it proper to offer a public explanation si some of the reasons which led to my resignation, on the 11th inst., of the office of Secretary of the Navy, and for that purpose ask a small space iu the National Intelligencer. At the cabinet meeting hehl on the 18th of August last, (the Attorney General and the Postmaster General being absent,) the subject of an exchange bank, or institution, was brought forward by the President himself, and was fully considered. Into the particulars of what passed I do not propose now to enter. It will be sufficient to say that it was then distinctlystated and understood that such an institution met the approbation of the President, and was deemed by him free of constitutional objections; and that he desired (if Congress should deem it necessary to act upon the subject during the sesion) that 6uch an institution should be adopted by that body, and that the members of the cabinet should aid in bringing about that result; and Messrs. Webster and Ewing were especially requested by the President to have a communication upon the subject with certain members of Congress. The institution then spoken of wa3 to be located in the District of Columbia; t be authorized to establish agencies in the States and Territories, with power to deal in bills of exchange between the United States and foreign countries, and in bills of exchange drawn in one State or Territory and payable in another State or Territory; and the exercise of this power was not to depend on any assent, exprca fed or implied, of the States within which such agencies might be established. In const quence of what passed at this meeting, I saw such friends in Congress as I deemed it proper to approach, and urged upon them the passage of a bill to establish such an insitution, assuring them , . t i - , . . . . . o tnat l ma not uoubt it would receive the approbation of the President. The bill was passed, as the public know, and was met by the veto. Now, if the President, after the meeting of the 18th of August, had changed his mind as to the constitutional power of Congress and had come to doabt or deny what he had admitted in that meeting, (which is the most favorable interpretation that can be put upon his conduct,) it was, in my opinion, a plain daty on his part to have made known to the gentlemen concerned this change of sentiment; to have offered them an apology for the unpleasant situation in which they were placed by his agency or, at least, to have softened, by a full explanation of his motives, his intended veto of a measure in promoting the success of which they, at his request, had rendered their assistance, But this the President did not do. Never, from the moment of leaving his house on the 18th. did he open his lips to me on the subject. It was only frosn newspapers, from rumor, from heresay, I learned that he bad de-tiied the constitutionality of the propos

ed institution, and had made the most solemn asseverations that he would never approve of a measure which I knew was suggested by himself, and which had been, at his own instance, introduced into Congress. It was still in the President's power, by a proper statement in the message containing his objections to the bill, to have supplied those omissions, and in some degree at least to have repaired his former neglect; but when that paper came to be read, it was found that so far from saying frankly that he had once favored and had been willing to sanction the bill, but had been led (if such was the fact) by subsequent reflection to adopt different views upon the subject, he treated the measure as one evidently inconsistent with his previously expressed opinions, and which it ought not to have been

supposed for a moment he could approve. Whether this conduct of the President is susceptible of just defence or reasona ble excuse it is not necessary now to inquire. 1 have not heard, nor can I imagine, any ground for either. Whether an explantaion of it has been offered to any one of the gentlemen concerned I know not, but nono was at any time offered to me: and while I forbear to make the remarks, obvious and painful as they are, which the transaction suggests, I declare ihe conviction that this conduct of the President, standing without known defence, excuse, or explanation, constituted (if no other reasons had existed) ample ground for a withdrawal from his cabinet without delay. It is scarcely necessary to fay that I have not supposed, and do not now suppose, that a difference merely between the President and his cabinet, either as to the constitutionality or the expediency of a bank, necessarily interterposed any obstacles to a full and cordial co-operation between them in the general conduct of his Administration; and therefore, deeply as I regretted the veto of the first bill, I did not feel myself at liberty to retire on that account from my situation. But the facts attending the initiation and disapproval of the last bill made a case totally different from that one it is believed without a parallel in the history of our cabinet, presenting, to say nothing more, a measure embraced and then repudiated, efforts prompted and then disowned, servicesrendered and then treated with scorn or neglect. Such a case required, in my judgment, upon considerations, private and public, that the official relations subsisting between the President and myself should be immediately dissolved. GEO. E. BADGER. C7General Harrison, who was elected President, appointed Messrs. Ewing, Crittenden, Bell, Badger, and Granger, to the cabinet; and Mr. Tyler, who was not elected President, has in effect removed them. General Harrison, who was elected President, removed James N. Barker, a Locofoco, from the office of Comptroller of the Treasury; and Mr. Tyler, who was not elected President, has re-appointed him. It seems the object of his Accidency to obliterate every footprint left by the immortal Harrison in the high places of the republic. Lou. Jour. JVounds on Tree. To make the bark grow over wounds and diseased places on forest and fruit trees without fail ana witn speed. v hen a branch is cut off, or a tree is otherwise wounded, make the place smooth with a sharp knife, and if the tree be cankered, either cut iway the part affected or scrape it out until you come to the eound wood.

Then put half a pound of tallow into two pounds of tar, and warm it over the fire till the tallow U just melted in the tar, when one ounce of saltpetre should be added, f nd the whole stirred well togeth er the composition must then be laid on the part that you want to heal. This has been found, by long experience, to be an effectual cure, and superior by far to any thing yet practised. J. N. Barker, the incumbent whom Gen. Harrison removed to make room for Mr. Forward, has been appointed by Mr. Tyler to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Forward's promotion to the Treasury. Pitts. Visiter. Counterfeits. We were shown on Sat4Kday a tedollar counterfeit note on the Bank of Illinois, a minute description is scarcely necessarr, as the baseness of the paper and execution can at once bo detected by those least familiar with bank notes.

Revolutionary Anecdotes. It is wellj remembered that a reward of 500 was' offered for the head of John Hancock.

Wiien he signed the declaration ef Independence, he did it with a bold hand, in a conspicuous manner, and rose from his seat pointing to it, and exclaimed, "there, John Bull can read my name without his spectacles, he may double his reward and 1 put him at defiance." When I visited Mr. Adams in Novem ber, 1818, his hand tremoled similar to Stephen Hopkins, the Quaker Patriot from Rhode Island, who had been afflicted with a paralytic stroke. Mr. Adams acted as his amanuensis, and asked him if he should sign his name to the Declaration of Independence for him. He replied, 'No! I will sign it myself, if we are hung for signing it you shall not be hung for signing it for me. Mr. Adams, then in imitation of Hopkins, took his oen clasoed his wrist with his left hand. went through the tremulous motion of signing his name, and in the language of Hopkins, e mpnatieawy saia, -n my nauu trembles, John Bull will find my heart won't!' which Mr. Adams said, electrified all Congress, and made the most timid firm in their purpose. The tallest editor we ever saw is Mr. Wentworth, of the Chicago Democrat, who was at Hanover last week. His elongation is positively shocking, and a good match for any pine tree "in these diggins." His attitude must not be far from eight feet ten, without his shoes. We thought we were rather ."tall" but we knock under to the Chicago man. We wouldn't have believed it, had we not seen the evidence of his super-superiority in this regard. Seeing is believing, and we cannot say with Caesar "1 came, I saw, I conquered." He beats all others out and out. Any draft upon him, however large in extent, will be honored at sight. Claremont Eagle. "Aine Children could not save him." Among the thirteen clerks who were dismissed from the Land office, there was one whose wife, unfortunately, had only fjur children, while all the others had from eight to a baker's dozen. After these thirteen clerks and their wives had resolved in solemn caucus to visit the President in a body, icith their babies, and humbly petition him to be restored, this dilatory father instinctively discovered that he would appear to great disadvantage with so inferior a number of responsibilities. "The fruitful ingenuity of woman," however, soon suggested an expedient that would place them on a footing, in this respect, with most of his companions in misery. She determined to borrow five or six children from some lucky neighbor, and the plan was actually carried into execution. His nine children, however, could'nt save him. The President had the shrewdness to discover the imposition, and the husband, wife, borrowed babies and all, were dismissed in disgrace! Bug in the Ear. The Baltimore Fatriot says that a physician in that city lately saw a colored man passing along the street apparently in great pain, and when he inquired into the cause, found a bug had entered and remained in the ear. He immediately procured sweet oil caused the man to lie down on the pavement, and filled the ear with oil. In a short time the bug being uuabte to breathe--was forced to the surface, and thus removed. The intense agony suffered, was shewn by the fact, that the man an athletic laborer when the bug was taken away, became in sensible, and remained so for a quar er of an hour, and was restored by the applica tion of stimulating frictions. We mention this case for the purpose of stating what is perhaps not Known by every one that insects may be removed from the ear by the above method, filling it with oil; and as intense suffering few causes producing greater might be endured before a Physician could be obtained, every one should be acquainted with the simple remedy. Pittsburgh Gazette. Old Bachelors. This unfortunate class of being9 have from time immemorial, been the victims of obloquy and persecu tion. It was the custom with the Dey of Algiers, to subject them to a periodical Hogging. Some of our own states pro pose to tax them into matrimony, proba bly on the same judicious principle by which non-residents are often taxed out of their property but the following pro vision in the Spartan law in regard to celibates, surpasses all modern ingenuity oi torture: i ne time oi marriage was fixed, and if a man did not take a wife at the time appointed, he was liable to be persecuted! He who had no wife was considered as a useless member of the community, a mere dron, end of course any one might insult him with impunity. The magistrates assembled all the bachelors once a year, (usually in the coldest part cf the winter) and commanded them to dance round the maiket place, and sing songs composed for the occasion, expressing how justly they were punished for disobedience to the laws, and how richly they merited such disgrace. Dercyllidas, a very brave general, but a bachelor, one day coming into company, a young man instead of raising up and giving him a seat, coldly observed, "You have no child to give place to me when I am old." This was thought very well of by those who heard it, and the boy for such insolence was highly complimented. One watch set right will do to try many by; and on the other hand, one that goes wrong may be the means of misleading a whole neighborhood. And the same may be said of ihe example we individually set to those around us.

Take a tea spoon ull of larJ, half a table spoonful of spirits of turpentine, and a piece of rosin at jbig as a hickory nut, and simmer hcm together till melted. It makes a salve, j which when cold, may be applied to a '; linen cloth and laid over the bum. If im mediately wanted spread it on the cloth as 60on as melted. I have seen it applied after the corroding effects of chemical poisons, after a foot had been burnt by boiling sugar, after severe scalds, and in every case the sufferer obtained perfect ease" in ten or fifteen minutes after it was used. It may be applied two or three times a day or as often as the cloth becomes dry. Smoking in the streets. A few days since, John Randall and Jemes H.

He wes born in Winchester, Virginia, in the year of our Lord 1791; and for several years past has been the principal merchant in Lawrence county, Ills. His death will be severely felt in the surrounding neighborhood, as from his active and enterprising spirit, r.s well as his desire to encourr ge industry, he open-d a market fcr the produce cf the country.

W hile these who wer? in- tr (iuient, as well as such as he knew to premise, but to deceive, the; they might gain the r ohjeci, found him to be a men who manifested his want cf ccnSder.ce in them. Though hasty in his temper, ho bore no malice against his enemies. Those who had a gtxxi opportunity of knowing him, have heard him express pleasure, after conferring a favour on such as have been among hta most violent enemies, he said this was all the revenge he wented. For several years ne was a member cf the Legislature, first in Indiana, but lately in Illinois, and display ed a mind capable cf weighing the good or evil of the d.ffe rent legislative enactments. His labours tmd success while acting in thet ce.ae.ty, bear testimony to the faithfulness and zee! with which he served his const tuects. For a few years past he shunned political excitement, daclaring hfs convicttcn that no man could be a partizan, and support either party in all their measures, end at the same time maintain and act upon patriotic principles. He condemned or approved of measures without rega.-d to party, thereby evidencing a liberality worthy of imitation. During his il!ne33 ho sought the Lord with all his heart; he rested his hopes and trust on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, and when he appeared to be

recovering, rejoiced at the prospect cf LiviN'3 to ro good. Some of hisextressions were similar to that of Joshua, -a? for me and my family we will serve the Lord." Since which, the Sabl.eth was his delight; and cn the last Sabbath of his life, he felt unutterably, while surrounded by his family at the domestic altar, engaged in prayer fcr himself and them. It is now the consolation of his bereaved widow and children, that their sorrow is not without hope. A large circle of friends and acquaintances deeply deplore his death. -In this county on Monday last the 27th inst. Miriam, infant daughter of Samuel Judah. DIED In this place on the 2S:h inst.
