Present appearances Indicate fhat Mr.
Calhoun will be distanced in the race with
Mr Van Buren, He is no more equal TO the
managing Secretary Of State, than Hamlet
was 10 Hercules, aud If he has not himself
yet made this discovery, suspect he is not
without some Of those misglvings which pre-
cede unpleasant visita,ioas of truth. There
are Calhoun men who feel "a It Is so, and
who arc looking about for some means TO
counteract the Vaccinations Of one whom
they have so much reason TO dread. and SO
very little to estcem. Some talk Of an union
Of moderate men, an idea which invites spc-
cilicatioa, and it is believed that circumstan-
ces wiz very soon arise which will give TO
this language a more intellgible meaning
Perhaps before the nominations may be deci-
dcd 0n--and it is whispered that they are
now before the Senate--wc NAY be better a.
bic TO understand the character of the union
which is desired, fla separation of Mr.
Calhoan's friends from the administration
shDaIa take place. 1T will have been brought
about Ivy the disgust created by the sleepless,
restless, eternally evadlng cunning of Mr.
Van Burea, whose influence IN the cabinet is
hourly increasing, and who is not the man TO
yield one idea OF that which Is once surren-
dcrsd to him. 1t may be fortunate to the
country, fortunate for just principles, and
that sound morality which should pervade DO
litical as well as private life, il the premature
movements Of Mr.. Van Buren to secure COR
himself the vote Of Virginia, and to monopo-
lize all the patronage oi the executive, should
result in such an union OF moderate men as
Will rescue the country from its present situa-
ton of peril, and place its destinies under the
superlntendeace of a series OF enlightened,
experienced and virtuous statesmen.
Extract of letter to the New York Com
mercial, dated Uad,ington, Dec g.
The current rumor of this day here is that
the Rev. Mr.. Campbell is about to make a
publication of all the facts and circumstances
connected with the recent difference between
ham and SIR. Eaton, on the subject of the do
mestic connections of the latter. 1t is said
that Mr. Campbell feels it due to his proles-
sional character and standing, to prove to the
world tlat has interference has been such as
was warranted, and even called for, by the
obligations OF mis- spiritual calling; and that
the exposition, If made, would be most iusti-
resulted from an apprehension that his mo
ives might be misconceived, but 1t is said
that the insulting language adopted towards
hum by Mr. Eaton has at length determined
him to pursue this as the only course left him.
Public opinion, indeed, unless Mr. Campbell
does take this course, must soon take a direc-
ton to his injury; since motives will be impu-
ted to him which would be unbecoming The
pure and dgnitied feelings which ought TO
distinguish minister of the gospel Mr.
campbell has felt the necessity for preparing
himself, IN ease he should be forced into the
held and has, accordingly, accumulated a
mass OF testimony, not to he used In sport,
nor tor the purpose Of gratuitous mischief
but onlv IN case it should be found necessary
ior hm to stand on his own defence The
testimony thus collected, is said not 10 he
confined TO the matters to which | have al
IuGed, but to embrace other fact relative to the
manner IN which Purser Tinberiake, the for
mer husband of Mrs. Eaton expended some
OF his money-and as he : noyg a tlcf:auter
to the amount OF some 70 or 10000 dollars,
tins matter may become Of some importance.
II 10 SAID that correspondence has been dis
covered among the papers, connected with
the accounts Of Mr.. Timberlake, which shows
that he transmitted considerable sums to Mr.
Baton, the receipt of which the latter ac-
knoWiedges. These monies, transmitted from
time to time, were vested by Mir Eaton in the
purchase Of several houses in this city. which
stand in has name. believe they formerly
belonged 10 air. O'Neaie. the father Of Mrs.
Eaton. who kept tavern in one Of them,
and considered to have failed in business
W hat other facts may be connected with the
am not able to inform YOU; but
those which have mentioned are now mat
tcrs OF public notoriety; copies of the letters,
1t IS said, have been made, and are in the
possession Of individuals who are not much
disposed to keep them from the public eve.
Should this affair come before the public in
an authentic form, it will furnish food for the
lovers OF piquant conversation until the pro
ceedings OF Congress may have furnished
something of different character.

Report u the Postmaster Gcncral-This
report IS the most business like that has yet
come from the Heads of Department. Mr..
Barry INDUCES neither in sentiment nor

one respect, however, the report is vindict-
