Ihrnished to the President, ( to be transmitted to She Senate, the full coneilsintienee with Mr.' Motley, on his dismissal from .the mission to Vienna. 'lt is more than a , year sinee;' on the malicious report of an, unknown adven.: 'curer, Mr. Seward offered the indignity to. Mr. Motley whith, compelled him, as a gen tleman, to resign his office. During the in terval that has elapsed, the unknown elan-, derer, calling himself McCracken, has not been discovered, Or, if anything has been learned concerning him, it is that hO is a low, swindling thief, traveling over 'Eurobe, and borroWing money on various pretences, not one cent of ,which Is ever returned. It was in,consequenee Oa vulgar and malignant lie ,written by him to Mr, Seward, that lie wrote his insulting letter to Mr. Motley. Notwithstanding the full proof of the , , vortblessneas of tbiri JereraY Diddle; Mr. Seward has never offeredLa word of apology to Mr. Motley ; nor has he ever evinced the slightest sign of. regret that he had grossly in. suited and wronged a high-tonea gentleman, and an author and patriot. who is recognized everywhere as an ornament, and , an honor to the United States. The letter addresied 'to Mx. Motley ,by Mr. Seward, in April last, tin which he a t ccepted his resignation, was as dry and cold as the most frigid diplomatic formility , „ could devise. There was not a syllable indicative of that gen tlemanly 'feeling which ought to be shown:by one man to another whom he knows be has deeply wronged. There is not the niost distant allusion to the vile slanderer, McCracken, whose lying calumnies against Mr. Motley and other American representa. tives abroad were so eagerly accepted as truth by,the President and Secretary of State. The MC,Cracken business was bad enough. But Mi. Saud aprtears, in ,the fell corre spondence with Mr. Motley;}stely submitted to the Senate, to be , little if arty more entitled to respect than the vulgar thief and slanderer , • whose false information he accepted. • somrivsom VERSUS IST2LNTON. Mr; JohnSon'etelaborate communication to the Senate, on the subject of the removal of Mr. Stanton ivill be found into-day's:paper. More than 1:alf, of the message devoted to a narrative of the circumstances attending Mr. Stanton's removal, and . the remainder is given up to a statement of the reasons for his removal. , nese reasons are stated to have been two. i . The general reason was a loss of - mutual confidence. _Mr. Johnson states that "as timn pansed, - mff - there was developed an unfortunate ; differatice of ,opinion and policy between Congress and the :President upon this same subject and, upon the ultimate basis which the, reconstruction Of, these States should proceed, especially upen . the' question of negro stifflage.” This, to be mire, is not true, so fat•,,as re gards th e assertion that the question; or pegro suffrage was the especial and original grp'und of differenee between the President and bbn- Wm. This "Wortmate-difference," hOsi-: ever, was the beginning of the alienation:l)6 l . tween the President and his . Secretary. He confessess that, from the first, he was deter= mined that this difference should not be recon-: ciled. This admission of his obstinate purpose of resistance seems ( to be made inadvertently, but is a very important one. Mr. Johnson compliments the members of the Cabinet who left 'the Cabinet, in order to make a case against Mr. Stanton whose sense of responsibility kept .him__ in- his very _unpleasmat position.- The difierenee of opinion on the reconstruction measures constitutes "the general grounds" upon which the removal was pased. The "special ground" was the controversy grow ling out _of the :New Orleans riot: The re sponsibility of that bloody outbreak the Pre sident labors tn throw entirely upon Mr. Stan ton, but With Very partial success. The lengthy discussion of the correspond ence connected with Mr. Stanton's renioval has, of course, nothing to do with the min question. It is "Satan reproving sin," fur Mr. Johnson to charge bad taste, or assump tion of prerogatiie, 'or official misconduct upon any Jiving being. Most of all fait absurd for the •Prollident to manufacture capital out of the aeseitp* that Mr Stanton wa-, opposed be the Tenure of Office law. It was no rea son whatever that Mr. Stanton should not SW hound by WI provisions when the bill hail epee become a Jaw. The point which the Pre :Went here makes Wile strongly against self,as it is based upon his lawless principle that /to law h; operative of which be does not ap prove. Mr. Stanton did it'or appr we the law %font it wito outed, but when the Prosi- , MAWR, fth and Bobs': rnitthit . dnd Bove,. Meties, ron(h and Bozo, Arai% _Youths^ and EVA Large AAEOrtirilni. dent undertook his removal in direct tion of its provisions,,,lie :placed hinvelf on„ the side Of the law and asserted its power to protect him. Mr. Johnson 'evidently ' feels hinUelf on delicate ground when he anderttikes to assail, Mr: Stanton 'for an alleged 'Ohangd of °Pinion- The memory of his own apostacy can never' be very long . absent from , his mind, and he 19. , "laying an anchor to windward" for 'stinself, When he We? with effeSied inagnanimitY , , make Oat allowance tor a change of opinion." Mr. Johnson need not assure the E!ennte of that patent fact. No man ever lived who needed greater allowance, in that direction. This message is less 'violent and abusive than many of the Presidential produCtions. it is carefully written to operate upon the Senate, and'to induce that body to overlook the law of the case, by introducing personal issues and considerations.: It is to be pre . Burned that after such an arraignment, Mr. Stanton will be heard also, and that the Senate will not act upon any such ex pante, staterant as that made by the President. When both sides of the ease have been heard the country will judge fairly upon . . the, personal issues betw wen Mr. Johnson and Secretary Stanton; but the - Senate must , be guided in its action by the, simple consideration of the law upon the added. The distinettat which Mr. JolnsOn - makeii between a resignation and a removal is the merest quibble. His request'; for a re signation is a virtual attempt , at removal, ,and 'no one will be influenced by the sugges tions and argunients upon this point of kin subject, , , DEITIOCRATIC BANQUET. A couple oT weelieligo'n number of lead ing Democrats 'belonging to i this city and State tendered to Mr. William A. Wallace, the 'chairman of the •Democratic State Cea tral 'Committee, the complinient of a public banquet The said banquet' came off at the Continental Hotel, and as it received no gen -1 oral' public notice at the time, the managers of', the ."feed" yesterday oc cupied two -al:-a-half columns of space in a popular ,'-Sunday newspaper, with a , reriort of the proceedings on the fes tive occasion, aad more especially with the speech of Mr. Wallace, which is reported in full; and no doubt at considerable expense, as it appears as an advertiseinent. Prom this advertised report we learn that Colonel James Page presided, assisted by . General Robert Patterson and John O. James, Esq. Among the one hundred and fifty banquetters who took part in the festivity were - Hon. George W. Woodward, Hon. William Bigler,' ex- Mayor Vaux, Hon. William A: Porter, Hon. *Charles J. Biddle and a number of other leading gentlemen of the same political com plexion. The, speech of Mr. IVallace, which occupies two long columns of small type, is 'a very' creditahle specimen, taken as an oral torical draft; , as a piece of Wise and compre ' pensive statesmanship it scarcely does so much, credit ;to- - its author. Mr. Wallace was, of course, oblivious of the sharp prac tices and the local issues by, which the recent' ,Demdtratic victories in this State were secured; arid he complacently accepted the Compliment - , to Democratic principles; and to Mr. Wallace, involved in the intioduc tory speech of Colonel Page, when that gen tleman attributed Democratic success 'to Democratic principle in general, and to the exertions of Mr. Wallace in particular. Mr. Wallace's long-winded response to Colonel Page's toast containo nothing that was new' and much that has &en quite as well said in much fewer words. Very considerable Space is devoted to' the subject of Anande; but most financial, editors could have put as much substance into a short money article, although bifi few could excel the orator of the evening in sophistry and demageiguish pretence. It` 'was the old story of opposition to a ,Protective tariff, because, it' taxes„ the poor man's tea, coffee, sugar and clothing, but not one'word about the protection which at affords him from the competition of the cheap labor of Europe. It Was the old story of insidiously exciting the poor man against the rich by urging that the system of national taxation favored the latter at the expense of the fosmer; but industriously keeping out of sight the fact that the income tax which, to the class it reaches, is,perhaps the most bur thensome and vexatious of all our national exactions, reaches no citizen until he- ceases to be an absolutely poor man, for taxation listen incomes does not commence until the tax-payer has a clear yearly income of a thousandidollars over and above house-rent. This logic must, have caused the-well-to-do ,listeners to Mr. Wallace to chuckle in their sleeves; but it was not designed for home 'consumption; it was intended for the,foreign market, a market that was 'not represented at the banquetting table of the ,Continental. Hence the advettisement in the Dispatch of yesterday. , . ; ' But if these poor men who are , so artfully appealed to, had no votes, and if there was no probability that th 4 ever would have the F right of suffrage accorded them—is anybody :silly : enough to suppose that Mr. Wallace would, have pursued this tine of argument? Mr, Wallace,,hlmself, probeeds to settle this doubt;' fro; after .getting; though with the finitneiltif question, tie crosses Mason & Dixon's line with his argument; and what a ehangbief tone follows this step southward ! Be iiminediately, proceeds to show,• that the best interests Of the ' South, and the country at large, require ' the subjection of the laboring classes and the 'elevation . pf the ruling class:, "White; brains and black musele" (an ana tomical curiosity by q way) innw, he in _ii sists, work together lin the advantageof. t he SOuth and . thn ' glory and great ness of the nation at' large. This proposition is very,wordily demOnstrated, but not so pithily nor strongly tis . IG, VtiSit by. Senator Hammond, of South Carolina when be declared that there were "Mister races that were born to nile, and sPbject'face,4 that were born to serve."

In ~tit North he flattens and , clijoles the 'masses be 4 cause they have votes, and he does not 'hest tate to excite 'discontent and ill-will against capital, becOuse capital does not as a general thing affiliate with's p illy that was in sym pathy a ith men who attempted to destroy the Union. In the South he defers from 11 ibit and political interest to the ruling dais who toed their influential positioa ' with AO much bloody effect during ,four i yelps of wicked war; ' he wants their.

THE CITY ICE BOAT. The community, generally, will be glad to know that the City Ice-boa was put to Work yesterday morning, and went down the river to - Newcastle. The information commtinicatedlo this paper from several sources that no engi neer had been appointeti , up" to Friday last, was incorrect.,- - The engineer waif appointed a weekligo e and -with the &it •appearance of the ifeVere weather on , Thur, 4 l. day lagt, abtile Measures were taken by the Trustees to,get the' boat into service. 'f r id a y and Saturday were .occupied in co-Ai ng An d filling the toilers, • and yesterdt4. morning the beat compaeyeed oprAvgoo. The boat, in 'her preaciat . e ( ''.4dition, is said to be , a powerful ice -breaker, • and it is to ho hoped that ';itte will prove her di tlency and the etergy of the Trustees, by keeping the rivra open during the winter. Had the severe snap of last Thursday con tinued until yesterday, her qualities would have been very severely tested, and the two %precious days spent in getting crew, coal and water in board would probably have resulted .in presenting obstacles in her way which wohld have required many days to surmount. We are glad to know that the TrUstees•have not been quite as dila tory as was, at first represented, ,though many business men will still• think that, at this time a year, the boat should have been ready to take the field at a few hours 'notice. There was an ardent 'admirer of a certain general, during the war,who once said, •"that young man has an impetuosity which is almost demohiac." The impetuosity of our worthy Ice-boat-men is of ftn, equally high grade. If they succeed in , keeping the river open this winter they will be entitled to the thanks of the whole community, and they will receive them nowhere more cor dially than from the journals who desire to urge upon them, as upon all branches of the public service, the, necessity of thatenergetic, timely and judicious expenditure Which is the very ,wisest form of all public economy. THEILIETTIBIIIURG LOTTERY. refer frig to Mr. Van Wyck's denuncia tion Otte Gettysburg lottery scheme, we in advertently spoke of it as the "Gettysburg Orphan Asylum." It is scarcely necessary, at this late day, to state that the National Or phan's Homestead for Soldier's Orphans,"at Gettysburg, has no connection with the con cern whose operations hav,o been ' , exposed, afresh, by Mr. Van Wyek. 'Thai concern was chartered, avowedly, for the benefit of invalid soldiers, who were to be aided by the grant of $300,000 out' of ten or twelve mil lions.

(Special Den:atoll to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WsiiiirsterroN i December 14;.=—The despatch to you on Saturday relative to the operations of the Whisky Ring s ' produced no' little excitement among the ringleaders here, when it became known • leaterday morning. Your corre spondent Was denoUnced bitterly for exposing theirplans, and efforts were instituted to ascer tain frOm whence the information 'waa derived, but proved fruitless. k They denied the accuracy of the statement that the fond for corruption purposes was two hundred thousand dollars, and' asterted that it wax three , limes that amount. It appears that a "Ring Tax" has been Wired on , all whisky dealert throughout the country who approve the method by 'Which the Bing here expect tb control Congress; varying from two. Modred. and fifty 'dollars pp to Live thousand, and this has pinduesdli revenue of nearly half a million dollars, to be nsed here' this winter in advancing their schemes. "We will expend two million dollars brit what our plans are pushed through Congress," remarked ono or the leaders yesterday. This. shows to what extent they expet.t to go in pushing forward their sebethes, and the . transac tion bids fair to become one of the boldest move monis ever instigated by corruptionists. A part .of the fling left here last night for the purpoSe of obtaining reinforcements and endeavoring to silence, by mousy, certain loading journals throughout Abe country, which have heretofore strenuously opposed them.

Davenport. Tlie Crescent City has always been a favorite but fatal resort with - Mr. Davenport; he was always liked . by its public, but his health was. never first-rate there. Two years ago he lingered In the Sisters' Irospital In that city, almost at the point of death, but kind attentions spared him, at that time, although it would appear that the disease, consumption, which then prostrated finally Carried him' off. Mr. Davenport's last engagement in this city was during the Bummer season at the New York Theatre, and his last appearance in this Vicinity was made as Ran Trajtiird, in "Under the Gas light" at th e Brooklyn Academy of Music . At the time of his decease he was engaged as stage manager at the Academy of Music in New Orleans, and only a few evenings before his death, appeared as Seripiger. He was native of North Sttunfond, Connecticut, and his real name was Adol , phus Davenport Hoyt. The little farm house in which he was boin is still occupied, we believe, by the kind mother with whom .he always shared his professional earnings. "Dolly's" first venture towards self-support was made as a lawyer's clerk In this city, In the office of Mr. Horace P. Clark, and if we are not mis taken, hp even practiced at the New York bar. But only for a brief time—his inell nations were always for the stage, and his vanity as an actor was much flattered by the ap plause given certain amateur performances that took place in a small private theatre located next to Burton's old house in Chambers street, hi which young \ Hoyt took part. He made a semi-public appearance at the old Olympic Theatre in 1851 or 1852, or thereabouts, as itoiaro to the Juliet of Miss Jane Coombes, then also an amateur of the same society.' Later, DoUy's popular qualities and lively manners making him a favorite, he was engaged at the Astor- Place Opera Home, sabot under Thorne's man agement, and from - that - became regularly 'in stalled as a professional. He married Lizzie Weston (the present airs. Charles Matthews) and went to Philadelphia, where 'he remained for a season and also became , a great favorite. • After wards he returned to New York; whose habitual • play-goers have alwaYs • looked upon him as "their own." The hour of death' is not the time at which to discuss a player's ability: but it may be said that Mr. D.'s performances were gen erally liked. Socially there never was a greater favorite than he.
