A correspondent in Morristown, New Jersey, observes, that the late bustle made about the Secretary of the Treasury, with design as some suppose, to put his reputation in jeopardy, has been so far accomplished, that he is in real danger, in that part of the union at least, of falling under the curse denounced against him of whom every one speaks well of.—Zeal in a party cause often betrays want of judgment, and that even in men we should otherwise the least suspect—for proof of which the journals of Congress exhibit full evidence.

Extract of a letter from Maryland.

"I can assure you, that the defeat of those resolutions respecting the Secretary, has been rejoiced at—as to what some effects—there being no morbid tendency in this part of the United States there was nothing to heal, or to cure but I doubt not it will have a good tendency all over the country. Jealousy tho a weak sentiment, is a proof of love—a firm confidence in government is essential to the peace and prosperity of the union—doubts of stability will produce a want of this confidence in such as do not think for themselves—and a panic is as deadly in government as in an army.—A continuation of good moral politics will work the most salutary effects throughout the States."
