MORE EASp ROOM LETTERS!
In the Enquirer of yesterday, we find the follow
VfEws AT WAsHISeroN-Er!,uct- late letter.
"tor the next Presidential election the adverse
Tics of the present Administration mean to rely on
anarice and fanaticsW-drarice, TO be gratifed in
aVarf in appropriations for Internal improvements,
In partition of the Western Lands-fa nntiesnr in
all the shapes--of Colonization Society, anti
Sunday mails unit Masonry, Georgia Indians, &c.
Upon these materials ambition is to work, and am
thoroughly satisfied from what hear from the
West that the plan is 20 unite al North Of the Poto
mac and Ohio. think that Webster expects to be
put forward, Clay having got too heavy 10 be carried
and If he loses the Kentucky elections next sum
ner, he will have to fall back and give place to
those who have some ground Of their own to stand
ppoa."
Perhaps thu East Room letter ITSELF so renowned
iii the annals of mendacity, did not exceed this in
toldness of Imagination, and unscrupulousness of
assertion. "The aarersaries Of the present Admin
istration mean to rely on arnrice"--and that avar
ice, amongst other qualifications, meditates SOL
zure upon the public lands. The aduersores of the
Administration, not its supporters Mr.. Webster
who is ranked by this very episolariun at the head
of the opposition to the Administered and whose
powerful arm has just been raised in protection of the
public property in the western lunds-Wr. Webster
is accused by this most candid Of all possible letter
Writer'S of design to partition the psbc laads for
presidential spoculations, while Hayno and Benton,
the one Of whom desires to give away the public
property for equivalent but the Presidency, TO Mr..
Calhoun, 9th limitation to himself, and the
other to seize upon it, under of nsous lcgs-
Ieion-Hayne and Benton and the friends Of the Ad-
ministraton generally, arc represented, tor rather
the reader is expected to infer it as the champions
OF the Public righte! We say, what must be thought
Of the mans fronlcssness, who at this moment of
time IN the IA of facts known to every body and
when the Public are yet perusing Mr.. Webster g
Speech comes forward with such statement this?
las tho spirit Of the East Room letter insinuated
itself into others? Or is the Hero of that famous
Room again at work?
Equally gratuitous and malignant, is the assump
tion that the opponents of tho Adi nstration have
for clectioneering purposes lent themselves to the
fanatical project Of stopping the mails on Sunday
Individuals on that political side, doubtless have u
nited in that most unreasonable and bgoted object,
from conscientious feelings, but there is evidence,
not single fact to support the assumption of it's
being stalking horse for Interior designs hostility
against the Administration any to prove to BE-
other than what it appears, the iavorte bantling OF
honest, but most mistaken and perscverng Religion.
which in these latter days, "a supposed to lead to
the Kingdom of Heaven.
Equally unfounded is the 'though,' 1--WE commend
the modesty of the writer in this case that Webster
is to be put forward for the Presidency, Clay having
got too heavy to be carried. Whether Clay is too
heavyto be carried, or whether he has not bsoyancy
enough to carry himself, time will show. Mean
whilc this letterwriter has right to drag Mr. Clay
or Mr.. Webster into situations, where they have not
placed themselves, been placed by their friends.
Mr.. Webster seeks no nomination for tho Presiden-
CIV from his enemies at least. The bugbear Of an
Eastern, Middle and Western, or non slaveholdipg
coalition has been preached upon at every Prcsiden
tial Election, but has yot occurred.
