Extract to The editor OF the Penn Inqnier. da,ea
- WAsHISGTON, JAN. 20.
SINCE adverting, in Of my letters to yc to the
probable adjustment of the existing difference be.
tween the President and Vice President of tie Uni
tea States, have to believe that it neither
mas been nor will be adjusted. You will remember
mat TINS difference grew of the fact, wic was
nearly year ago, brought the knowledge or re-
collection OF the President through the arenc, of Mr.
.. 4. ta;nilton OF New York, that Mr. Calhoun in
t1e cabinet OF President Monroe at the first me,tnr
held OIL the subject ofthe Seminole war moved the
arrest of General Jackson for the course which he had
pufsueu IN that wars au that subsequently Mr. Cal
noun changed his opnion and for sustaining the
General. The revival of this affair produced an un-
pleasant correspondence between the President and
Vice President. 1t is believed that it occasioned a
cessation of all personal social intercourse bet
'nem. AZ All events, II is certain that the Vice Pre-.
sident has not presented him3 IF at the mansion Of
the Presid INT thus far dnrng this session Of
"" VIC ono hano, Mr. Cainoun is accused of having,
al the ume' acted with duPIicty t-wards the Presi
dent; and, on the other. it it alleged that General
Jackson was perfectly acquainted, at that very ne
rtotI, with the course which SIR. Calhoun had atlont
gu. documentary evidence of this fact is said to he
IN the possession of the Vice President. This mat.
ter has now become entirely perso lai between the
Two nigh tunctonares but it is to be apprehended
that IL may Constitute of political variance
and action between their friends. History adnon
ishes us, that personal alterations which are of mo
importance 10 nations, have cntailed the heaviest
mites on them. The characters of the first and
81 ,nd officers OF this government induce hope that
TIE historian will not hereafter have occasion to fnr
nish US with afresh adnouition 10 Thu effect
The agency of Mr.. Hamilton, the intimate friend
OF the present Secretary oil Safe, in the revival of
tins affair, has made general impression in tho mo-
lllicel circles that II Van Buren, insiieased il for
the purpose of prOstraIlng NJ. Calhoun before the
aiI-powerul Influence of the President and of mt
ing HIM out of his way a rival hereafter for the
sue 'esslon. DIR Van Buren, has disclaimed npv r
terference or movement ia subject. Mr. Cal
noun mas lately been entertained by him. and the fair
presumption 49, that he has kept 2!oof from the nm
pleasant difference. "
Whatever our decided wishes and prefornncns !,
pennsylvania may be, have become firmly nerspa6
cd that there will be three candidates in the field at
the next presidential election. | am not al nrasen,
at liberty to state to you the facts and reasons which
have produced this conclusion; but they arc sncb o
entirely to satisfy me that this state Of thingg ,I
take place. If SO, popular as General jackson is
we have to appr7hend that the election of Presdn,
may again devolve upon the house of REPRESENTATIVE
L ne interference of the people, an amendment of
the constitution, might in time prevent the danger
Gus evil They have now received sufficiently "a ria,
warning. II is for them to direct and d,tso or,o
what shall be the result ''e
