Webster, as Inte Secrelary of The mesango is a lengihy one, suing very fully into the reasons that operated upon Mr. Polk in coming to the conclusion ho did. He declines in toto, answering all that part of the resolution, calling upon him for vouchers, correspondence and in fornntion tonoling the the secret service fund, from the 4th of March, 1841, to tho time that Mr. Webster retired Groin Mr. Tyler's enhinet.

Ta do so, Mr. Polk Spelsta would be ing the spirit and the letter of the law, and be extablishing a precedent that would warrant the calling fur such Information in fines of war as well ax of peace. Tho President says that $5.160 of the secret service fund, under Mr. Webster's tion as Secretary nf State, won covered by certificates from Mr. Tyler, being confidential; and that the seal of privacy thus placed upon il by his immedinte predecessor, could not, without palpable vialation of law, break that seal, and nicale to the what the resolution contemplated.

T. M. DAVIS. AUGUST ELECTION. and Messrs.

Epizons: In the Telegraph Revlow of April 18th, see some remarks on the subject of the organization of tho Whig party in this State view of the opproaching election; and in answer to these remarks will just say, in as I can learn the opinions of the Whigs the Upper Alton precinot, they are unanImously in favor of organizing making arrangomenia for getting out for suitable persons as candidates for Governor Lieutennot Governor to be supported in to priety of selecting from one ranks suitable August next. I would a also suggest the propersons la Old Madison county for Representalives to the Legislature. Our political opponents are busily at work, and it is high lime that we were up and doing, if we as A party. expect to maintain our ground asl our principles. The question is asked, if it would be morally right to invite mon to canvase tho State as candidates for the ollices of to Governor and Lieutenant Governor, in view the uncurtainty of succcas.

Now, as to the moral of this subject, I beliove that every true-hearted Whig should feel a sulliciently deep abiding Intoreat in those principles which concern the welfare of our beloved conntry, lo cause them lo make nl most any aberifice for their support: for we should he actunted in this matter, not by cunlary interest, but by an ardeut love for the principles which we believe will advance the interests of our country. So let all the Whigs tale up their arms and contend carnestly; whether we get beat or wot, let be found at our post, fighting for that which we belleve to be right: and by an ting we will yet see better times In Illinois.
