The New Hampshire Gazette

Here Mr. Cutter leaves this point, with an innuendo against the veracity of the President, accusing him of dissimulation and double dealing, without noticing that any explanation had been given, and even suppressing the first part of the paragraph in the President's letter, from which the above extract is taken, which of itself would have given his audience an explanation of the state of the case, and the ground on which the President complains of the unfairness and disingenuousness of his accusers.

It might be a sufficient refutation of these charges against the President, to refer to the above extract given from Mr. Poinsett's annual report, which contains all that was said in that document in relation to the Plan, and ask whether that outline contains any thing objectionable? Whether it be objectionable or not, it is notorious that it was approved in the most unqualified terms, by the principal leading Whig papers, several of which we quoted in our paper of the 8th inst. The Baltimore Patriot, among other encomiums, speaks thus of it:-

"Better than all; THERE IS NOT A PARTICLE OF LOCO FOCOISM IN IT; and if the reader were kept from the knowledge of the writer, he would infer that it was THE PRODUCTION OF SOME LIBERAL AND ENLIGHTENED WHIG."

Well, if the leading Whig papers liked this so well, why should the President be censured by them for approving it too? For this is all he recommended to the consideration of Congress; nothing more had then been elicited except the paragraph above quoted. It has been proved that the plan, in its details, was not even matured till months after the date of the report. Mr. Poinsett says, in his letter published to-day, in addition to his former denial of the President's knowledge of its detailed provisions, that "HE Did not Acquaint MR. Van Buren With the DeMaNd Made UPON HiM BY ThE COMMITTEE on THE MILITIA, NOR WITH HIS ANSWER"; and thAt "HAD HE DONE SO, THE BILL WOULD HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY MODIFIED, beCaUSe ON a SUbSequent discussiou of its details with him, the President EXpRESSEd DOUBTS OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY Of soME oF ITS PRovisIoNs, and he certainly should not have persisted in presenting those propositions to Congress io opposition to his o-pinions."

We deem this part of Mr. Cutter's speech more objectionable, in point of candor, than any thing else we heard from him; it certainly was a derogation from his own character as a gentleman, to which we presumed he had some pretensions, thus to reiterate this charge of duplicity and double-dealing, without attempting any discussion of, or noticing any thing which had been said by way of reply or explanation, especially after so full a refutation of the charge had been made public. We had understood that Col. Cutter had come to the determination, in substance, not to be [or no longer to be] the scavenger of his party: but to treat his political opponents like gentlemen; but the manner in which he has handled this subject, and his bearing towards the President, is, at least, as we have before said, but gentleman drudgery.-

None but mock gentlemen will descend to it.
