Dear Slrs: AS the adv Ances circumstance.

rlmor, and every rumor becomes The subject OF crave
discussion AMI sagacious conjecture. All our poI
tciIns are at tins moment thrown INTO de n pprplex

Hayne, To vote against Mr.. Badwns appointments,

who viii follow the trail OF with as much mr.
dor and .rtuacty staunch pointer will hang nm
the scent of partudge, that it the dsrclish of
MIR. BdIdwins CONSTITUTE nal notions which led 10
this oppos'tion~and he replies with most scrptical
stare and provoking shake of the Uranium Y.ll

OF the friends OF Duff Green, sustain the opinions
and the influence of the Telegraph and its editor

Dscoseto him any other OF those ordinary motives
which would naturally suggest themselves 10 or,ina-
ry men, aud he discJmpos both your countenance

sinct is not To be eIsily dupcd By means of his
cXclu-vc faculty of lOng-slghtcdness, he discerns
something far deeper. We accordingly hear thai
this separation T McssTs. IIayne and Smith from bc
Jack ranks this occasion, Indicative of their
separation on all future OCCASIONS If not on all
certainly many important questions in which their
Co operation may BE- necessary to enable the admins
traion To carry their executive measures through
| the senate. Inc real motives OF these gentlemen
still remain in the dark, but very short time NAV
suffice Tor their discovery. In the mean time tho
Jackson party in Congress make no hest alton To ex
press their indignation ut the course pursued by the
Telegraph in reference to Mr. Baldwin, and their
general feeling OF cont ompt for its editor His paper
was held up to the secret session by memb Of inc
Senate, aud the question asked whether the &C.
cusaiion therein made against Mr.. Baldwin were
true or false' The Pennsylvania Senators prompt,
pronounced them false; and subsequently, in privat,
conversation, expressed their anger that such an at
tempt TO destroy the reputation ol Mr. Baldwin shou
have emauated from that quarter. You will at once
perceive. that If the friends OF he late administration
/ had voted against Mr.. Bildwins appointment,
would have been defeated.
