wlhsr the Secretary State will also repair the
sect of the Treaty will handled by this dis
nisuhed trio We hope the result OF hc.r deliberations will

OF this meeting there is hardly Il doubt. Mr..
Van Buren, accompanied by the Presidency was in
Baltimore at the last ties, and it was said would
imcontnenty proceed meet the hg!, advising par
ties, ut Wilmington Delaware. Mr.. Cambreenr
Is sort of famiar-we will not say Oliver Dane
--io Mr.. Van Buren, whose skill and knowledge
oi British and American commercial regulations, he
rcposes more reliance probably than or his own. 1t
abuses ought to do it, reflect wat changes
imppen In this odd world. For remember for
example, what these three long headed gentlemen,
who are presently to convene in Wilmington to TAX
under their most sage deliberation, whether they
Shall negotiate away with England, the settled poll
cyand laws of the u. States--to remember what
they were SO lately 1915, and to think what they
are at this moment enactng in solemn conclave -
At that time, Mr.. Van Buren, was strug Cling against
the reproach of desertion his party and in the
confidence of none, for the Federalists stgrlatized
him traitor, and the Republicans had not learn
ed to trust him. M'Lane was bitter Federalist
whose imagination daro swear, never INDUCED
the hope of surrounding that preiudices-and Cam
hreleng was tar and turpentine merchant in the
CITY OF Now York; 1t is changing world, and that
sp;te people viii find.
The assemblsge of these three individuals at VIII
lnipgton, tho etsseRr2f which the NATIONAL Intel-
gencer speaks below, aud indications which are e, cry
day appearing, leave particle of doubt upon our
minds, that Mr.. NJ Lanes instructions did authorize
him to negotiate treaty with England, on basis
which was to be constructed of the ruins of the
protecting policy OF the U. States--a policy which
night OF wrong, is the law Of the land declared by
tile Representatives of the People in Congress, and
which no power short of that which created it, is
competent to destroy. 1t is probable that this poo
sect will DO abandoned modified, by its uni1ely
exposure to the action of public opinion. 1t was
worthy of the Administration under whose uspices
IL conceived. We request atteutici to the COM
nents OF the Inte!ligencer -
From the National faieiige,cer
Ex,raoi OF letter from gentleman in Washington to his
rary of State left the city days Anon. The
reports IN circulation is that of the Secretary of State being
further changes and that he has
this feeling generally that the progress of dsrnsal has

Whether the movements Indicated in the above
paragraphs have any connexion with the rumor"
which lately burst upon astonished senses, is for
the present entirely matter of conjecture.
Fhe visit OF the President, we have heard is to the
venerable Charles Carroll and WILL presume
extend no further. We hope it may be pleasant
one..
The journey thither, and the soourn together at
J., W
vhlch we suspect he has never yet enjoved of bav-
ing the General to himself for sufficient length of
time for free and unreserved exchange Of opinions
II be true that the Secretary averse further
changes" we are under the impression that he will
lind the same disposition in the President. Whe-
ther they being in accord this point, control
the rest of the machinery OF Government, will be
seen in the sequel.
As for the meeting, Congress, of great persona
ges at Wilmington, at the present juncture, may
he allowed to surnise that these high parties as
doll f,ata he,c
The party To negotiate surrender of portion OF our
tariff of imposts to propitate the British Ministry
into the condescenson of restoring to right to
trade with the colonies of that country or of relaxing
their corn laws. Mr.. Secretary Van Buren, will
bring to the consultation the advantage of being pos
sessed Of the latest views OF the President the sub
ject, which he will probably have obtained during
their ride together over the ridges of Maryland. MIR.
Cambreleng will be of high authority as to the views
of the New York Evening Post and certain portion
of the mercantile interest in New York, who have
becn talking the thing And Mr.. M,Lane is
not man to overlook these advantages, to fail
bring his full contingent to the consultation.
This meeting, III short, may be casual meeting
of friends, to take leave before long separation
from each other s agreeable society. But, as Mr..
M'Lane has but few days ago left his friend the
Secretary here, and is in few DAYS more to embark
from the city OF which his other friend is dstin-
nushed Representative and resident, it is clear to
Us that this meeting has other and more consequent
tja objects than exchange of courtesies,
which objects afford fair field of speculation.
There is, besides, in this "rurBor' than
were first willing to believe to suggest, to
readers
Since our last notice Of it, we have received a let
Ter from New York, from source in which we
place much confidence, under date of July 90 which
satisfies that project, to equallZe the duties
articles the growth manufacture of Great Britain
and the United States, and to admit them into the
respective countries paying the duties to be agreed
upon, has been under discussion between the Prcsi
dent and Secretary of State, and we are than
ever induced to believe that Mr.. M'Lanc has been
instructed TO offer 10 The British Government 30 nego
ciate a Treaty, to be called Commercial Treaty,
upon that basis. We do not say that he ever will Of
fer it. But, if not, sholl always believe that tins
beautiful project has been npped in the bud by too
early exposure to the influence of public opinion.
To be sure,if Mr.. Van Buren, had answered, neg
