Our reason for remaining silent was this. The Cashier wajs ojwarm friend of ours, in whom we ylaced the most implicit confidence, and though rumors unfavorable to the state of his accounts were in circu lation yet they were only rumors 'at that time, and the reputation of a man is of too sacred a character to be so tightly dealt: Withi.

Among other business laid Over in the Senate of the United States, previously ' to its adjournment, till the - liext regular session, jvas a resolution offered by Mr. Batird, upon the subject of the famous 'expunging resolution, which 'so greatly disgraces the record of the proceedings of iliit body andwe have no doubt he .will succeed in iu After reciting in a preamble, the history of the circumstances which led to the passage of that disgraceful &nd unlawful resolution, he winds up thus: ; j .

From a comparative weak and disorganised corps, sunken much in public estimation and confidence, and in a measure barren of prospect and emulation to tle offi cers for all which the country are indebted to the ne glect of Ibrmer administrations, it is raided high in pub lic estimation and confidence, infusqd with a new ; life and spirit, and, if the present policy is carried out, will cau?e it steadily to rise upon the scale of elevation, un til it is a chief source of pride and boast at home, and honor abroad. j ' Mr. Badger brought into the discharge of his official duties an expansive and comprehensive mind k libe ral policy and an ardent attachment to' the best inte rests of the country. .

We have been expecting to hear from Mr. Baduku, either in corroboration or disproof of Mr. Ewtso's statement. It will be seen by the subjoined Card, just received, that he fully bears out the late Secretary of the Treasury in all his statements, and in his usual condensed and nervous style, places the whole subject in a nut-shell : TO THE EDITORS. Messrs?, Gales &. Seatox : I deem it proper to offer a public explanaiion -of some of t!ie reans which led. to my resignation, on the 11th instant, of the office of Secretary of i the Navy, and, for that purpose, ask a small space in ihe National Intelligen cer. At the Cabinet meeting held on the 18th of August last, (the Attorney General and the Postmaster Gene ral being absent,) the subject of a i Exchange Bank, or institution, was brought forward by the President himself, and was fully considered. Into thepaticulars of what passed I do not propose now to enter. It will be sufficient to say .that it was then distinctly stated and understood that such an institution met the appro bation of the President, and was deemed by him free of constitutional objections; that he desired (if Con gress should deem it neces-ary to act upon the subject during the session) that such an institution should be adopted by that body, and that the members of his Cabinet should aid in bringing about that result ; and Messrs. Webster and Ewing were specially requostcd bv the President to have a communication upon the subject with certain members of Congress. The insti tution then sp.iken of was to be located in the District of Columbia ; to 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 and payable in . another State or i . i? ' 4 r . l - . I iil'f'Wf? such agcneies mljbt Ivs estabUeh In consequence of what passed at this meeting. I saw such fdends in Congress as I deemed it proper to ap proach, and mged upon them the passage of a hill to establish such an institution, assuring them that I did not doubt it would receive the approbation of Ihe Pres ident. The bill was passed, as the Public know, and was met by the Veto. Now, if the President, after the meeting of the 18th August, had changed his mind as to the constitutional power of Congress, and hail come to doubt 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 duty 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 in tended Veto of a measure, in promoting the success of which they, at his request, had rendered their assistance. But this the President did noi do. Never, from the moment of my leaving his house on the 18th, did he open his lips to me on the subject. It was only from the newspapers, from rumor, from hearsay, I learned that he h id denied the constitutionality of the proposed institution, and had made the most solemn assevera-. lions that he would never approe 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 th bill, to have supplied these 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 once favored and hud 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 opinion, and which it ought not to have been suppos ed for a moment he could approve. Whether this conduct of the President is suscepti ble of just defence or reasonable excuse it is not neces sary now to inquire. I have not heard, nor can I im agine any ground for either. Whether an explana tion of it has been offered to any one of the gentlemen concerned I know not, but none was at any time offer ed to me : and while I- forbear to make the remarks, obvious and painful as they are, which the transaction suggests, I declare the conviction that this conduct of the President, standingwithout known,defenre, excuse BTeplIBiRf isted) ample groundfor a withdrawal from hisCabioetfefc '0mZ& NORTH CAROLINIAN?' i without delav. P'fe-5SSt b ' '' without delay. It is scarcely necessary to say that I have not sup posed, andJo not now suppose, that a difference mere ly between thePxesident and his Cabinet, either as to the constitutionality or the"expedlency of a bank, ne cessarily, interposes any obstacles to a full and cordial co-operation between them in the general conduct of his Affmihistratrooand"therefore, deeply as I regretted tlie veto of.&e Sst bill,' I did not feel myself at liberty tor retire-Oft jLh&f account from my situation. But the facts attending ihelnixiation and disapproval of the last bill rrjade iCA totally different from that one it is believed wjfftout "parallel in the history of our Cab inet ; presenting, to say nothing raSfe, a measure em braced and ther repudiated efforts prompted and then disowned services tendered and then treated With scorn or neglect., Such a case required, in my judg ment, upon considerations; private and public, that the joffielal relations subsisting between the President and myself should be immediately dissolved. ,. v, GEO. E; BADGER. : Washisctoit, 5Spt. 1 8, 1 840. .41 I . O" ' Pre is a most tmportanT VIelV Ollftl. 'IJVt'llis course presented by the editors of the National Intelh gencerwhich at once'relieves him from the semblance of error in making public the matters contained in his letter of resignation. We quote the Intelligencer's words touching. the charge against Mr. Ewing of vio lating Cabinet secrets. , One moment's reflection will satisfy every unpre judiced mind that Mr. Ewing's letter is not justly ob noxious to such a charge. The subject to which it relates, and the manner in which it was brought before the Cabinet, divest it of that character. The Bank bill required the co-operation of the Executive with the Legislative power of the Government to become a law. Comparison of views between those branches was des red and had, tor the purpose ot narmonious action. The first bill having failed to receive the ap proval of the President, an effort was m u3 to ascertain his views in relation to a sec n I bill, in order to conform it to them. His consultations with the Cab inet, and his views there expressed, to which Mr. Ew ing alludes, were for the express purpose oj beins; communicated to Members of Congress in rrference tn their nrtinn. Thev were so communicated, and the Dassace of the second Bank bill was the consc ouence. How, then, can it with any justice be said that Mr. Ewing improperly discloses Cabinet coun cils, when he merely states what he had already been requested to state for the information of Members of Congress, and as the basis of their action ? Which is the most perfect popular Government 1 That," said Bias, " where the laws have no su perior." 4 ThaV saidThales, 4 where the inhabitants are neither too rich nor too poor.'

Such are the feelings of one who holds in high estimation the character of the Rev. W. S. Johnson who depart ed this life on the morning of the 19Mi int. after a lingering illness of many months. He died in the midst of his youth, but all who knew hiin venerate his virtues and his name. He died without a struggle or a groan, and his spirit sank to rest, calmly and silently, as sink3 the" sun beneath the western wave, or as gently steal the shades of evening over the lingering smiles of the departing day. He possessed a great ness and magnanimity of soul, which is the greatest characteristic of the true Christian H is mental qual ifications were of a high order. Gifted with a brilliant intellect, and a refined and towering genius, he threw around his productions the charm of reason and ofelo quence. He was a light extinguished ; for had be lived he would no doubt have stood pre-eminent as a scholar, as a divine, as an orator.
