From the Telegraph of Thursday, June. 23. Washington 15th June , 1631. Sir : i herewith tender to you my resigna tion of the cilice of the Attorney General of the United States. Two considerations res trained me from taking this step at the mo ment when your communication to the Sec retary cl the Treasury, announcing your de termination to re-organize your cabinet, first met my eye. There was nothing in the re tirement of the Secretaries of State and of War, or in the distinct and personal conside rations w hich they had assigned for this meas ure, which made it obligatory upon or even proper for me to adopt a similar course.— Such a step, with any reference to that occur rence, could only become so, on my part, as an act of conformity to your will. You had felt this, and had announced your wishes to the Secretaries of the Treasury and of the Na vy, respectively. I had a right to expect a similar communication of them, and conform ed to the wishes and opinions of my fellow citizens of Georgia when I determined to await it. An additional consideration was presented by the fact that I had been charged at the moment of my departure from this place, with the performance of certain public duties wiiieh were yet unfinished, and my re port concerning which you did not expect to receive until my return. I was gratified to learn from yourself that yeftr had taken 1 1 >';■ [same view oftliis subject, having pi,..t pea yd the communication of your wishes to me un til my arrival at this place, without expect ing in the mean time any com:*n?nic lion from me. It is due to myself furthc rto state, that, from the moment when I saw the com munication referred to, 1 have considered my official relation to you as terminated, or as subsisting only until my return to the city should enable me to conform to your wishes by trie formal surrender of my office, which it is the purpose of this note to make. I retire, then, sir, with cheerfulness from the station to which your confidence had cal led me, because I have the consciousness of .laving endeavoured to discharge its duties with fidelity to yourself and to the country. — Uninfluenced by those considerations which have been avowed by that portion of my col leagues who have voluntarily separated them selves from you—totally ignorant of any want of harmony in your Cabinet, which either has or ought to have impeded the operations of your Administration, I perform this act sim ply in obedience to your will. I have not the slightest disposition to discuss the question of its propriety, it is true, that in a Govern ment like ours, power is but a trust to be used for the benefit of those who have delegated it; and that circumstances might exist, in which the necessity of self-vindication would justify such an inquiry. The first considera tion belongs to those to whom we arc both and equally accountable. From the influ ence of the second you have relieved me, by your own explicit declaration that no com plaint affecting either my official or individu al conduct, has at any time reached you,— You have assured mo, that the couiidei#e which induced you originally to confer the appointment upon me remains unshaken and undiminished, and have been pleased to ex press the regret w hich you felt at the separa tion, which circumstances, have, in your view of the subject, rendered unavoidable. YYm have kindly added the assurance of your con tinued good wishes for my welfare. You will not, therefore, refuse to me the gratification of expressing my earnest hope, that, under the influence of better counsels, your own and the interests of our common country, may re ceive all the benefits which you have antiei pated from the change of your confidential advisers. Avery few days will suffice to en able me to put my office in a condition for the reception of my successor, and I will ad vise you of the fact as soon as its arrange ment is complete. I am, respectfully, Sir, ’ Your obedient Servant, JOHN MACITIERRON BERRIEN. To the President of tho United States. Washington, .Tune 15, 1 SOI. Sin: I have received your letter, resign ing the office of Attorney General. in the conversation which I held with you, tho day before yesterday, upon this subject, it was my desire to present the considerations upon which I acted in accepting the resigna tion of the other members of the cabinet, and ,o as/are joy, iji regard to yourself, as well MVfO\, JULY 9, 1831. ship of power, with which I am clothed, call jed tor it Vs a measure c< ,u ■. ice io those who had been alike invited to maintain near me the relation of confidential advisers. Perceiving that the 1 jnr.atiy in feeling so necessary to an efficient ndministratien had tailed, in a considerable degree, to mark the course of this; and having assented, on this account,, fo the voluntary retirement of the Secretaries of State, and War, no alternative was left me but to give this assent a latitude co-extensivc w ith the embarrassments which it is recog nized, and the duty which 1 owed to each member of the cabinet. In accepting your resignation as Attorney General, I take pleasure in expressing my approbation of the zeal and efficiency with which its duties have been performed, and in assuring you that you carry with you my best wishes for your prosperity and happiness. I am, very respectfully, votir obt. servt. ANDREW JACKSON. Joiin M. Berrien, Esq. P. S. You w ill please to continue to dis charge the duties of the office of Attorney General, until you make all those arrange ments w hichyou may deem necessary, which when completed, and I am notified thereof by you, a successor w ill be appointed. A. J. Washington, June 22, 1831. Sir : In conformity to the suggestions con tained in my note of the 15th inst. I have to inform you that the arrangements necessary to put the .office of the Attorney General in a condition for the reception of my successor arc now complete. The misrepresentations which are circula ted in the newspapers on the subject of my retirement from office, make it proper that this correspondence should be submitted to the public, as an act of justice both to you and to myself. I am, respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN MACPIIERSON BERRIEN. To the President of the Uniced States. Washington, June 22, 1831. Snr: Your note of this day is received, ad vising me, “in conformity to the suggestions contained in my [your] note of the 14th in stant. I [you] have to inform you [me] 'that the arrangements necessary to put the office to the Attorney General in a condition for the reception of my successor are now complete.” For reasons assigned in your note, you fur ther observe “make it proper that this corres pondence slioldd be submitted to the public, as an act of justice both to you and myself.” 1 am sute I can have no objection to your sub mitting them as you propose, as you believe this to be necessary. 1 am, respectfully, Your obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON. John M. Berrien, Esq. The following paragraphs from the Globe in reply to the Telegraph of the preceeding eve ning, demand a place in our columns: “A correspondence, of a private nature, be tween Messrs. Eaton and Ingham, appears in the Telegraph of last evening, It is to be re gretted that cirum3tanccs sometimes occur in the private relations of life which make stlch appeals necessary. The merits oftbiscontro versy, like all others of a private nature, we shall leave to the decision of the public, with out any comment from us. “We are, however, requested to state that the account given in the Telegraph of a collec tion of persons in the Treasury Department, with the view of making a personal attack on Mr Ingham, is utterly destitute of foundation. “We are further requested to state, that Major Eaton did, without any attendant what ever, seek a meeting with Mr Ingham, having first sent him word of his intention ; in which he failed, simply because the object couia not he effected with violating tho sanctity of a private dwelling.” From he U. S. Telegraph. Washington, 2lst June, 1831. The President of the U. States. Rib : Before 1 leave the city, it geems lobe as to them, that they imply no dissatisfac tion with the manner in which the duties of •he respective departments have been per formed. It affords me great pleasure to find that you have not misconceived the charac ter of those considerations, and that you do justice to the personal feelings with which they are unconnected. I will only add, that the determination to change my cabinet was dictated by an impe rious sense of public duty, and a thorough, though- arnful conviction, that the steward due to the Government that I should perforin a painful duty, imposed upon me by the c vents of the last forty-eight hours. It is not necessary for me now to detail the circum stances which have convinced me of the ex istence of vindictive personal hostility to me among some of the officers of the Government near your person, and supposed to be in your special confidence, which has been particu larly developed within the last two weeks - , and has finally displayed itself in an attempt to way-lay me on my way to the office yester day, as I have reason to believe, for the pur pose ot assassination. If you have not al ready been apprised of these movements, von rnay perhaps be surprised to learn that the persons concerned in them are the Secretary ol V\ ar and the Acting Secretary of. War; land that the Second Auditor of the Troasua ry Register of the Treasury, and the Treas urer ot the United States, w - ere in their com pany ; and that the Treasurer’s and Regis# tor’s rooms, in the lower part of the building of the Treasury Department ; and also a gro cery store between my lodgings and the of fice, were alternately occupied as their ren dezvous while lying in wait ; the former af lojding the best opportunity for observing my Approach. Apprised of these movements on my return from taking lea v e of some of my friends, I found myself obliged to arm, and, accoinpaincd by my son and some other friends, I repaired to the office, to finish tho business of the day, after which I returned to my lodgings in the same company. It is proper to state, that the principal persons who had been thus employed for several hours retired from the. Department soon after I en tered my room, and that I received no molest ation from them cither at my ingress or eg ress. But, having recruited an additional force in the evening, they paraded until a late hour on the streets near my lodgings, heavily armed, threatening an assault on the dwelling 1 reside in. I do not present these facts to your notice for the purpose of invoking your protection. !8o far as an individual may reply on his o wn personal efforts, I am willihg to meet tbit* peril; and against an .assault by numbers I have found an ample assurance of protection in the generous tender of personal service from the citizens of Washington. But they are communicated to you as the Chief Magis* trate of the United States, and most especially of the District of Columbia, whose duties in maintaining good order among its inhabitants, and protecting the officers of the Government in the discharge of their duties, cannot be un known to you. I have only to add that, so far as I am ill* formed, all the persons engaged in countsnance to this business are officers to the Government, except the late Secretary of War. I have the honor to be respectfully, Your obedient servant, S. D. INGHAM. TIIE EX-OFFICIAL CONTROVERSY. From the Globe, of Jnnc 23. The gentlemen implicated in Mr. Ingham’s letter, which we insert, have furnished us with the call made upon them by the President, and the several responses made by each of them. It is strange that Mr. Ingham should charge men who have borne pure and unsullied characters through life with lying in wait to assassinate himthat he thould, by a direct communica tion, call upon the President to interpose his au thority upon the occasion, and leave the city him self before the information he gave could reach the Chief Magistrate, to whom he appealed to re* dress the imputed wrongs. Mr. Ingham was himself the only accuser and witness to whom the President could refer, to make good the charges against die public officers; and it was very ex traordinary that he should make an investigation necessary, and abandon the city before the° indi viduals charged could have an opportunity of convincing him, by proving the real state of facts, how much he had wronged them in his suspicions. llut was it respectful to the President to makra allegations which, if true, involved the dismis sion of several of the prominent officers of the tie* Departments, without enabling him to ascertain the facts on which it was necessary to predicate his conduct 1 Mr. Ingham knew, from tho course* held by the President towards the officers engage ed in the affair of honor in Pennsylvania, that bo would not tolerate violence on the part oftlios® connected with the Government over which he presided, and that he would feel himself bound to prosseeutJ an investigation into tho charge made by him. Mr. Ingham was apprized tluj; Major Eaton had ceasad to act as a public officer, on the day he demanded personal satisfaction for the insults with which he pursued him. Thp motive of the attempt made by Mr. Ingham tp implicate several prominent officers of the Gov jemment, as conspiring to X¥®. 93.
