 Presidential Ierm.-It was stated some days ago in the House of Representatives, by Mr. Wright of Ohio, that certain anonymous letters had been addressed to members of that House, calling upon them, as they hoped fol themselves or friends chance at some ftl. ture day of becoming President of the United States, to vote for General Smyth's amend. ment. to restrict the term to four years. The letters were insinuated to have been written hy the General himself. This has been ad. mittcd by him on the floor, and justified by saying that he perceived nothing wrong in such course. Why then, we ask, not have signed his name to them ?--Fairness of pur. pose does not shrink from openness and re- sponsibty.-N. Y. Amer.
