It seems to me an act of justice to R. T. LytIe, Esq. our late Representative in Congress, to explain the circumstances connected with his resignation. When the result of the regular election was known, a meeting was convened of those who are regarded as the leaders of i" the deaaocrdeqn in this city. The meeting was made up of the holders of office here, excepting the Register of the Land office, and including the late firm of Jonas, Cast 9 Go. and also lhe Editor of the Phoenix. At this meet ing it was resolved to advise Mir. Lytle 10 resign-the Receiver Of Public Monies, and two or three others dissenting. The whole number present, ali of s.the democra- cy," from fifty to sixty. Mr. Lyte resign ed accordingly, those advising the measure, and himself, contemplating that he would again be candidate, and that Mir. Storer would consent to become his opponent. The error of this calculation is now under stood. l have good personal regard for Mir. R. T. Lytle, therefore deem it but civiity to make the whole case known However imprudent the measure. under the circumstances, il IS my opinion he Is hlameless. He could not properly, in such a case, have disregarded the recommends tion of such body of his supporters. But in my opinion q just regard for eonsis- teney and character, forbid him to be again a candidate. Gin. Goz.
