Litchfield Enquirer

In order to give to our readers a taste of what harmonious materials the late Cabinet of Gen. Jackson was composed, we have given this day, to the exclusion of other matter, the exposition of Mr. Berrien, together with copious extracts from the testimony he introduces. The statement of Mr. Ingham must create astonishment and excite indignation with every one who reads it. And that it is strictly true, we presume cannot be contradicted. It is made from memoranda committed to paper at the time the conversations took place, and bears upon its face the marks of candor and truth. Gen. Jackson, it will be observed, is represented as having been in a very tempest of passion, so much excited that, in Col. Johnson's language, "he was like a roaring lion," threatening that he would turn the ministers out of office, and even "send home the minister of a foreign government," and "teach him and his master" that his wishes were not to be thwarted—that he "would be cut into inch pieces upon the rack" rather than his favorite friend and biographer should be treated with disrespect—and all this because they would not compel their families to associate with a woman of ill fame! And this is the reason, the sole reason, why the late Cabinet was dissolved. What a dignified, what an honorable course of proceeding! how much to the credit of the President, and the honor of the country! "Tell it not in Gath."

Friends of General Jackson! what think you of the following paragraph from that heretofore chaste organ of the administration, the United States Telegraph? It is copied verbatim from a late number, in reply to an article from the editor of the Globe, who professes to speak in the name of the President. Is it not humiliating to support such a man after what is thus said of him by those who have long known him well? Duff has been considered by the friends of the General as being ever ready to bear willing testimony to his true character.

"If it were possible to separate Blair, Lewis, Kendall & Co. from the President, we would cheerfully do so, and believe that light and truth would yet penetrate attached to his administration and to the country elrate Even the President's mind, and that the stigma might be wiped off."
