New Hampshire Statesman And State Journal

MR. KING, OF GEORGIA.

The speech of this senator on his secession from the ranks of the administration forces, has been published, and is alike creditable to his candor and intelligence. The testimony of one so long and closely in the confidence of the administration will do much toward satisfying the doubting as to the true causes of the evils which have been visited upon the country—the pecuniary embarrassments which have afflicted all classes. In the course of his remarks Mr. King said "he had not the slightest doubt that our difficulties were owing entirely to the unfortunate policy and violent measures of the Executive in relation to the finances for several years past. This was the only cause, and this was abundantly sufficient. Mr. K. said he could prove this to any one who would not shut his eyes to facts, and close his understanding against correct information on the subject. He had felt and expressed his astonishment when he first read the President's Message, at the statements of the President in relation to these causes; and he had been equally astonished at hearing his friends from Connecticut, (Mr. Niles) and North Carolina, (Mr. Strange) adopt these statements, and take them as admitted truths. The PRESIDENT WAS ENTIRELY MISTAKEN IN THESE STATEMENTS, and to allow them to remain uncorrected, would only continue to obscure and mystify the subject."

He further truly asserted, what every man should understand, that the President in his Message, was mistaken in every fact assumed by him to exculpate our own government from the charge of being the original cause of the mischief."
