But to leave the other matters in Mr. Botts’ re markable speech, of tl»e 10th February, for future no tice, and to return to the immediate point before us, we have brought forward four distinct grounds of ev idence to show the (Keep designs of the Whigs, from the commencement, against the President, having for their termination his resignation. We now proceed to further confirmation. The Missouri Republican, of the 20th April, one •f the especial and confidential organs of the ultra Whig party in 18-12, has its leading cditwi.il headed * President's Resignation,” and makes these re marks on the subject: 1. “No man of nice honor and tender conscience as he pretends to be, would have clung thus lung with such tenacity as he has to a situation in which be had proved himself so unacceptable to those who had placed him there.” 2. “ When the sky falls he will resign, and not be fore, maugre all the WHIGS can do to produce so besibaßi.k a result.” 3. When he was a Senator from Virginia, at the rate of only eight dollars a day, he made a great show of conscientiousness, &c., by resigning his seal, (pc., but since his umrpatum he has bestowed so much bounty, &c., and instead of getting eight dollars a day, gets sixty-eight, and that now is the price of his conscience. Congress would do well to pay hi ll $50,000 for the rest of his term, and request him tore sign." 4. Again : " As his acciilenry professes high regard for the rights of instruction, t rc would respectfully sug gest to the voters of all States yet to hold elections daring the present session, to cause a column to be inserted in their poll books, or some designation on their ticket, ei ther for or agaiusl ms resignation,” &c., &i\, &c This is confirmation strong as light of the fact; Fieri is this all ? Observe how exactly the editor, or rather one of the touts of this infamous conspiracy, against the Government, to he consummated by stri king down the Constitutional Chief (Magistrate, fol lows in the foot-sleps of his aicli leader. Mr. Clay in his speech on the Veto, says : “ 7 'acre were other alternatives before him besides Vetoing the bill: ami t’nst it was worthy of his consideration whether consist ency diet not require that the trample which he had set when he had a constituency of one Slate, should not be followed when he hail a constituency commensurate w th the whole Un : on.” In the tamo strain followed the whole mass of the ultra |>re*s, and it wai at one time a universal subject of talk among the Whigs in this city. So far as we have gone, wt* have given the facts as they are, with hut little comment. We have n*t deemed it necessary to comment and enlarge upon them; they arc so palpable, and the inference flowing from them so plain, that all can without difficulty make the proper application. In fact, hut one infer cnee can he drawn from them, which is, that the President has la»cn without cause a much injured and persecuted man— anil one that deserves a far better tre<atmcnt at the hands of his countrymen. In our next, we shall devote ourselves to John Mi nor Botts more particularly; whatever we may have said of him up to this period has merely been inci dental* from the New York Her dil, 9l!i inst. The Irish Repeal Agitation in America. Revolution in Europe.— The en thusiasm manifested by our Irish fellow citizens on the subject of the repeal of the legislative union between Great Brit ain and their native country, since the arrival of the last steamship from Eng land, almost beggars description. Os the inflammatory character of the sons of the “Green Isle,” we have had, heaven knows, ample enough demonstration, hut the nightly meetings at Washington Hall —the “ Dublin Corn Exchange” on a small scale in New York have shed great additional light on the excitable, enthusiastic temperament of our Irish brethren. Every night this week the Hall has been crowded. Upwards of five thousand auditors, according to the most moderate calculation have attended on each occasion. The speeches have been as fiery as newly distilled Ennish owen, and the cheers such as only Hi bernian lungscould give. Ex-Governor Seward, Charles O’Connor, John Me Ke en, the Hon. Mr. Leonard, several Cath olic priests, and two or three young and promising lawyers, have been the prin cipal speakers, and if the amount of mo ney contributed affords any fair means of estimating the efficiency of the orators, they have reason to congratulate them selves on the success of their eloquence. Hard working laborers, who earn a dollar a day, have marched up to the treasurer’s desk in crowds, and cheerfully contribu ted their two or three dollars each in aid of the cause. It was originally contem plated to raise the sum of one thousand dollars in the city, ■ hut the cash has llown in with such unexpected rapidity, that the committee have very properly determined to improve the opportunity —do keep the steam up, and collect sev eral thousands of dollars. No doubt a great deal of the eloquence expended at Washington Hall, has found its exit from a prudent regard, on the part of the orators—some of them at le:ist —to that scriptural precept—“ Cast thy bread upon the waters, and thou shalt find it (some) days hence.” Prof. Espy rs not the only man who finds the study of the weather a profitable one. But what of that I The machinery of agita tion deserves oil as well as that of a steam l»o:tt. Does it not ! This Irish movement hasat last attract ed, the attention of the party newspapers. They are in some trouble about what is best to be done. That Irish vote is an interest ing business. The “Courier" pre sents an amusing spectacle of this jter olexity and indecisiotk. it affects great sympathy for [>oor, oppressed Ireland. The ‘ Courier” prays most fervently for si repeal of the tmionr lit tween (treat Britain and Ireland. But the “Courier” does not like these public meetings. It asks the American people to sympathize with Ireland, hut in a quiet, private way —just as the “Courier” sympathizes with decency and honor. “ Unless,” says the Courier, “ we are prepared to say that we could and would approve of public meet ings in England to dissolve our Union, we cannot and should not give our sanc tion to public meetings in the U. States, to dissolve the union between England uud Ireland.” This is just what we might exjiect from the organ of that paltry clique who have uniformly reviled and abused the Irish. Tnis is just what should be said by those who have heaped on Irishmen and the Irish character, every species of insulting calumny. This is what was to be expected from the organ of the clique who have denounced the natives of lre i land as unworthy of American citizen ! ship; and who, alter every election, have represented the Irish voters its guilty of j the grossest corruption and vileness. But the “Courier” is about the very i last quarter to which any man of intelli | gence and patriotism would look for an accurate exposition of the duties of an American citizen. What! Are our citi zens to be restrained in the public, and open and decided expression of their opinion, on a question intimately con nected with those very principles of truth and liberty on which the foundations of their own land now so happily repose ? Did we not, in the hour of Greece’s strug gles for independence, meet openly to ex- I press our sympathy and offer her our nc j five aid ? Did we not contribute our as j sistance in the effort to effect her dismem berment from the Turkish empire—from whom we had always received respectful regard, and to whom we were indebted for some f«vors I Did we not openly as semble in the cause of suffering Poland? And yet, now at this day, the editor of the “Courier” has the face to tell us that in attending or sanctioning these meetings in behalf of Ireland, the people of Amer ica forget the duties of citizenship ? Un doubtedly, interference in any forcible way in the contest between Ireland and her oppressors on the part of this coun try, would be a violation of treaty obli gations. But the American citizen vio lates no right—transgresses no law, in giving free and open expression to his opinion on the question of the justice and expediency of the Irish Union. But the truth is, the “Courier” is identified with a little clique of financiers and stock-job bers, who have their connexions in Lon don, and it dreads the influence of free institutions and free opinion. On the merits of this great question, now so greatly agitated here, we do not enter minutely at present. That work we reserve for another occasion. In tlie meantime, however, we must say that the entrance of the “Courier” into ihe field, gives a somewhat new aspect to the bu siness. Prince Robert Tyler goes the whole hog for Ireland, and hence we ar gued the other day that the chances were increased in Ireland’s favor. But now that Col. Webb, “of the regular army,” has taken the opposite position to the Prince, the chances are balanced with inithem itieal exactness. The Colonel neutralizes the Prince and Ireland stands just as she did before Prince Robert took up the cudgels in her favor. Seriously, however, it is very evident, that this agitation has assumed a most, important aspect. So long as it was con fined solely to the Irish population here, it excited little public attention, and was harmless enough. But now that broken down politicians and office hunting spec ulators of both parties have made the discovery that a great deal of capital may he manufactured by affecting sympathy for Ireland, they are at the work with all possible energy. The result must be, that a great deal of public feeling will he excited in England against the people of this country for taking such an active part in the agitation. From the present state of fee'ing in Ireland itself, we should not be surprised soon to hear of its burst ing out into open insurrection. And if revolution should break out in Ireland, what is to prevent a movement among the radicals in England?—a similar movement in Scotland ?—and a general emeute in France, among the republican masses of that excitable nation ? The present condition of society in l>oth these countries is inflammable in the highest degree—a single torch may set all the elements in motion—and war with all its horrors—civil war and insurrection, may shake western Europe to its foundations, before the year shall have expired. We live in a strange time—and may expect any kind of explosions. So pre pare. From the New H ittipsliirs G.tzette. lifinjcratic Banner.

F' 1 'lt VICE PRESIDENT, LEVI WOODBURY, Subject to the decision of a Democratic National Convention, to assemble in May IS 11, os recommended by the States of Maryland, Michigan, Ken tucky', Louisiana, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Mississippi. Tiie Convention. We understand that the Convention met at Concord on Thursday the Bth inst. Hon. Levi Woodbury, who being at Con cord, and owing to the declination of one ol the delegates from Portsmouth, was electc J by the other delegates as a substi tute, was chosen President of the Con vention. Hon. John 11. Steele was nom inated for Governor, to be supported at the annual election in March next. The whole number of votes cast was 225 and were ns follows: Por James Farrington, 1 John H. White, l John W. Weeks, 2 Franklin Pierce, 3 Ezekiel Hurd, 5 Benning W. Jenness, fi John McNeil, 15 Benning M* llcnn, 41 John H. Steele, 151 Hon. Henry Hubbard we perceive at the tail end of his speech seasonably' backed out, and by way of letting him down, the Convention have chosen him as a delegate at large to the National Convention. But N'lm/iortc. The choice of the other five is to lie left to the five Councillor Conventions. This is well enough, though the whole might as well have baan left to the 12 Senatorial Con ventions incorjio rating two contiguous districts into one. An attempt was made to nominate Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency, subject to the decision of the National Convention, and it brought on 1 considerable debate, but it was n. g. no go. From the New York lleral.l. Reception of President Tyler by the Democ racy of New York. One of the most magnificent receptions that ever was given by the people of N. York to a public man, was extended yes terday to President John Tyder on his arrival here. We have seen and mingled with the reception of Lafayette —we have seen and mingled with the reception of Gen. Jackson —and in fact we have seen every public reception for ihe last twenty years— but that extended to Pre sident Tyler yesterday far excels any sim ilar event of former days. The day was cool and beautiful, and probably full two thousand human beings were out in the streets— in the Battery —or on the wa ter. Mr. Tyler is a good an amiable and a patriotic man. He has made several sad mistakes in his appreciation of human character and political movements— but on the whole, he deserves well of his country for his firmness and indepen dence in resisting the influence of the stockjobbers. If this class of men, with the broken down politicians, could have insulted the President 011 his arrival in New York, as they did at the Ashburton dinner, it would have been done at once. But this reception was got up out of pure generosity by the choice elements of the “young dcmocracie,” and the ultras of both factions were afraid to say a word against it. The democratic leaders of the Corporation and of Tammany Hall have done it all —the miserable little cliques, who have heretofore attempted to create Tyler parties at the Tabernacle or Military Hall, have been of less weight than a feather in this great reception. In fact, there is not a grease spot left of them. O.i this point the “dcmocracie” of New York have exhibited a magnanimity, a generosity, which entirely disgraces the mean and miserable conduct of Baltimore and Philadelphia, when he passed thro’ these cities of the plain. On the whole, Captain Tyler must see that the “dcmocracie” of New York is all-powerful in these northern regions that they give the tone to every great popular movement—and that what has been called the Tyler party and the Ty ler men, are nothing at all not equal in influence or sagacity to our own John Jones, who after the President himself and Captain Bob Tyler, was the most mysterious stranger inquired after by the people. “Where is John Jones?” “Where the devil is John Jones ?” Movements of the President. The following are the movements of President Tyler, as contemplated by the Joint Committee of the Common Council, who have him in keeping during his stay in the city:— Carriages are to be at the Howard House at 1-4 to 9 this morning, to convey the President to the Battery, in company with the members of tin? Cabinet. He will he accompanied by the Mayer, the Joint Committee of Common Council Major Gen. Satidford, Maj. Gen. Lloyd’ Gen. Prosper M. Wetmore and Robert C. Wetmore. The navy agent barges will be in read iness at the Battery to convey the compa ny to the Independence, and subsequent ly to the North Carolina. At 10 A. M. the company will be lan ded at the Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn. Af ter visiting the city of Brooklyn and the Navy Yard, the President and company will return in procession of barges to Cas tle Garden, at 2 P. M. Carriages will be in attendance at the garden to convey the President to the Governor’s room, in the City Hall, where until 4 P. M., he will receive those citi zens and strangers who wish to be pre sented to the Chief Magistrate. At 8 o’clock in the evening he will visit the Bowery Theatre, and at 9 Nib lo’s Garden. To-morrow at 10 A. M., carriages will lie in attendance at Howard’s, and the President, the Joint Committee, and the Common Council will visit the Croton Water Works, and the various public in stitutions of our city, and return to the Hotel at about 2 P. M., in time to leave in the eastern boat at 4 P. M. The Aquatic Procession. The Pre sident of the United States visits the ves sels of war in the harbor and the navy yard this morning at 9 o’clock, escorted by the navy barges and the boat clubs of the city. Several new and splendid yachts will part in the movement; among which the Emma, of Newburgh, owned and sailed by Captain Robinson, and the Petrel, of this city, will be most conspic uous, on account of their great speed, ele gant models and beautiful proportions. The sight of this part of the performance, in honor of the President, will be the most interesting of the whole. The PresiJcnt’s Progress and Reception. 'Pile President and suite left here yes terday afternoon for Providence, as will be found reported in another column. His reception iu New York, as well as in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other cities and villages through which he has pass ed, has been characterized by some un precedented features. In Baltimore and Philadelphia the masses of the people seem inclined to turn out and pay him respect, partly' on their own account, and partly because he is the Chief Magistrate of a great and mighty nation. But such yvus the influ ence of the cliques of office-holders and office-seekers, as to drive the goy'ernments of these different cities even to disgrace themsely'es. In none of these places ha\ r e the whigsexerted themselves to show him respect and attention; and in some of them so great has been influence of party feeling, that even the democracy have received him with coolness. In this city the whigs backed out alto gether, and left the field to the democrats and office-holders. A greater assemblage of people iu our streets has never been congregated to witness the reception of any President, not even excepting Presi dent Jackson himself. In the case of President Jackson, however, the people turned out to receive him; in President Tyler’s case, the people turned out to witness his reception. As to cheering and enthusiasm, there has’been none— it was calm—general gentlemanly all through. One most remarkable fact is worthy of special notice. During the greater part of Monday, the streets of New York were filled with from 150,000 to 200,000 people, with no armed police, no gens d'armes, to keep them in order. And yet there was no noting, no disturbance, no noise, no disorder. The people were their own police. In Boston there may be even double the number assembled and there, as here in New York, of the most heterogenous political character yet will there be no police, or gens d'armes , required to keep them in order, or prevent disturbance. There is a moral sublimity in all this, which not only does honor to our institutions, but to which no parallel can he found in the other na tions of the world. From ihe New York Herald. The Irish Repeal Movement in this Country Relations of Ihe l uitei StJltse with i.ug laiid'itiid iturope. We give in this day’s paper, a full and accurate report of the first great public meeting of the Irish and American Re pealers, which took place yesterdy after noon in the Park cf New York, with the City Hall on one side, and on the other side the great Croton Fountain, springing sixty feet up to heaven. This meeting, iu all its bearings and aspects, miy be considered one of the greatest popular movements that ever took place in this country, having a ten dency to excite the people of Europe, and to breed revolutions across the water. It must not be considered as an isolated movement of a few Irish emigrants in this country, sympathizing with their na tive land—it is the beginning of a genen rai outbreak —a popular enthusiasm —J \ in favor,not only of revolution in Ireland —but of revolution throughout Europe. In this movement on this continent, all parties and all classes partake, with the exception of the government, who have treaties to observe—and of the commer cial classes, who aje bound by the ties of interest to the present state of things in Europe. We see men occupying the highest political and local position al ready'enrolled in the movement—inclu ding the son of the President, members of Congress ex-members of Congress and State and municipal officers of every grade. There is no mistake in the meaning and purpose of the agitation in this coun try, whatever shape it may take in Ire land, in England, or elsewhere. In this country the agitators mean revolution— not barren legislative appeal an over turning of existing governments —and the establishment of popular institutions throughout Europe. New York is the centre of the revolutionary movement and from this point their purposes will be best explained. One thing will follow. Will not the progress of this business affect the peace ful relations now existing between Eng land and the United Statet ? Will not the active interference of populal move ments here with Irish affairs, call out the British Government in remonstrances & reproach, as in the case of the Canadian revolution? The relations of the two countries, will soon get in a ticklish condition. Let 11s pause and ponder, Ire fore we go too far. And yet it may be a question whether the grand motives in this business may not be lo “salt the cat tle for the fall election,” as a politician once exclaimed to Mr. Van Buren in the State Convention of New York, as the motive which caused him to offer an ul tra radical resolution that had no chance ot passing—merely the manefactuling of a little political capital for home consump tion, instead of a serious purpose at revo lution abroad. It is very safe for a pa triot in the Park of New York to shake his fist across the Atlantic at the poten tates of Europe quite safe—perfectly safe. The reign of incredibility is' as fatal to the temporal interest of religion, as that of superstition is; it will be best understood in an age when good sense conducts dispassionate inquiry.

Interesting Letter, Extracts from a letter from the Editor of the Globe , written from the Hermitage. I reached this place y'esterdny, having had a most pleasant voyage from Saint I Louis to Nashville. The weather was , j fine, and the shores of the Cumberland, , in their wildness of verdure, and the joy ousness of the wild birds, which enchant , ed me with the woods when 1 was a young hunter, made me happy in the scene, which contrasted so beautifully with the turbid strength of the Missis sippi, its drowned bottoms, and naked "; hills. I did not read a page on the Cum berland, and scarcely did any thing else on the Mississippi. 5 ****** ' Judge Catron and his kind lady were 1 obliging enough to bring me to the Her * tnitage iu their carriage. We found the 1 venerable patriot in much better health than I expected. He was out on a little 1 excursion in his carriage, on our arrival; 1 and when he returned he gave a welcome as affectionate as he could have given a | long absent son. To-day we went to church together, where the sacrament ; was administered. He was the first to ’ lead the way to the table, to which he l was followed by a multitude of young men and women. I did not see a single gray head at the communion but his own venerable, bleached, and bowed one. * * | Gn our return from the church, I asked him if the house was built before the ’ death of Mrs. Jackson ? He replied that the church was built by her, and was her church ; that the last time she ever attended it was a sacramental occasion ; that she was extremely solicitous that he , should unite himself with the society, and that he was strongly inclined to do so; but that his attitude then before the public would have subjected him to the charge of acting hypocritically, which lie could not bear, as he detested hypoc risy more than any other baseness. But \ he added, that he assured Mrs. Jackson, 1 when he had left the political scene, and * his motives were no longer liable to mis construction, he would comply with her inclinations and his own, and join the church. In the mean time, he would serve his God without associating him self with any religious society. At the close of the sermon, the preach er gave notice that there would be at 3 I o’clock, a funeral sermon over a young *ndy of twenty, whose corpse would Ire brought to the'church nttliat hour. He invited the young particularly to attend. The General told me, on our way to the Hermitage, that he was too muchexhaust ed to attend the funeral service at the church. When he had got out of the carriage, lie told the driver that he must I I have the carriage at the door in half an j hour. He told me he had, upon reflec tion resolved to go to the house of the mother whose daughter had died, and accompany the remains to the church. He said the mother was a widow, who had sustained a great calamity in the loss of an excellent husband; that she had been badly treated by those to whom she had a right to look for kindness in her distress; and that attention to her, under her present affliction, was a duty lie ■would attempt to perforin, however, fee ble his effort might be. As soon as he had made a slight repast, taking one of the ladies of his family with him, he set out, and is now out in the performance of this sad office, although from weak ness and shortness of breath, he is not able to walk a hundred yards without requiring a seat. Every tiling at the Hermitage hears the impress of the General’s character all is on a large scale, and of a useful and magnanimous cast. The tract con sists of 1200 most exuberant acres, near ly one half in fine cultivation, and fenced with a strong, old fashioned fence, a por tion of it with cedar rails. The house is a noble country mansion —on two sides the massive columns covering the fronts, the other two being adorned with wings, containing the dining room, kitch en, nursery, &c. The centre has two rooms on each side of a very large hall, in which ascends a broad winding stair case. The parlors are twenty-one feet square each, and thrown into a parallelo gram by two folding doors. The bed rooms above are of the same size with the parlors. The grounds immediately around the house are shaded by locusts, catalpas, sugar trees, &c., interspersed with cedars and shrubbery, and at this moment are as fragrant with flowers as the groves of the orange or the coffee plantations of Cuba. On one side of the lawn leading to the house is the garden which embosoms the monument which covers the grave of Mrs. Jackson, and that prepared for himself—a dome rais ed on marble pillars, the foundation of which is ascended by a circle of steps, which make the elevation. On the oth er side of -the lawn is the orchard; and in front is a large woodland, (whose ex tent cannot be seen) for the most part of the tall tulip poplars, and left almost in a state of native \yildness. In the rear, on a smooth velvet pasture, rolls out a spring, or rather a flood of lucid cool waters, which give a peculiar darkness to the green of the foliage by which the fountain and stream are overshadowed. Every thing at the Hermitage looks perennial perpetual ; and the old man, from the very marks of age which glorify his person, appears immortal. Nothing here hears the stamp of ostentation and fastidious taste. There is an easy ele gance which impresses the feeling that nature had done every thing, and art no thing ; and that all the comforts and all the duties that abound were scattered by the profuse luuul of tlio same benevolent Power which created Paradise a wilder ness of spontaneous bounty and beauty. The General complains himself that lie has not cultivated a taste for rural ele gance. Every thing about him shows that lie has not studied the art of land scape gardening; but his farming is like his fighting for, although not done by rule it turns out well. The Sullivan Watchman gives a most unsavoury account of one Levi Garrett, a merchant in the town of Liberty, who it seems has run away with all the money he could get hold of, amounting to twelve or fourteen hundred dollars, and carried off the wife and two children of one of his neighbors.

A Dear Bottle ol' Wine- M The editor of the Richmond Enquirer has received notice from a correspondent iu Bremen that he has sent him a bottle of the celebrated “rose” wine, which is 22S years old. The writer gives this account of it: This rare article can only be obtained at the Cellar in half bottles, and then in small quantities. Until recently, it was only permitted to lie used as a medicine in cases of extreme illness. Its flavor is exquisitely delicious, though its taste is not peculiarly rich. A thimble full is as much as is usually drank at a time.— You may rely upon its having attained to the age of 228 years! It was about the time Pocahontas was bom. I pre sent it to you for the ijge and benefit of the individual Stales composing the American Union; and I flatter myself, that it will teach them a most valuable lesson with regard to public economy. This bottle of wine cost originally 20 cents. By allowing two per centum for leakage, shrinkage, <fcc., and six per cent, interest on the purchase money, added to the principal annually, afterwards bear ing a like interest, and you make the present cost seven millions eight hund red and eighty-four thousand, seven hundred and nineteen dollars and twen ty-eight cents !! ! A larger sum than the entire public debt of Virginia. For my own gratification, I employed an ac curate arithmetician to make a calcula tion for me, and the above is the aston ishing result.
