War of 1812 Bicentennial

From the National Intelligencer, of September 7.

General John Armstrong has resigned the office of Secretary of War.

In the Baltimore papers of Monday evening we find a letter, exhibiting general Armstrong's views of recent events, which we shall do him the justice to publish in our next. We greatly regret the occasion of his resignation; and can only wish that a successor may be found equally well qualified for his office. On this subject we have now only one remark to offer. This is no time for denunciation or even recrimination. It is a moment requiring all true friends to the country to support the constituted authorities in the execution of their duty, and not to employ themselves in fomenting dissention and weakening the confidence of the people in those whom they have set over them.
