''The great point of attraction has been the Sc.
nato, and particularly political debate which
on the question whether outfit should be allow
ed to minister TO France, in other words,
whether the French embassy should be abolished
not. the question itself is certainly of great
importance affecting European relations
but it possesses feature of some consequence TO
the present position of parties in the Union.
"On Friday last, therefore, there was general I'M
burdening of '.forcgone conclusions" sort Of iu-
biloo day among the different fragments of the OPP
Position-the public solemnization of 'thc solemn
league and covenant between the forces of Mr.
Calhoun and the troops of Mr.. Clay. The ncgot
ntors were Mr.. Hayne and Mr.. Tazewell on the one
part, and Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Clayton on the o.
Their. MIR. Hayno made one Of his most eloquent
speeches against the foreign and domestic policy
OF tho administration. He was most violent
and btter-denounced without stint or mer-
lacks of fill
to his pledges and said several other such things
MIR. Webster joined gibets with Mr.. Hayne, cut
up the administration, blew up General Jackson
and attempted to demolish Van Buren,. He agreed
IN opinion with tho nuilificrs that 'the union of
the States depended on the wisdom of the present
Congress" I should like to know where thata rt-
Gle can be found"
Tho New York Courier & Enquirer, has 4 let
ter also, on the same topic-the French Appropria-
tion and the oft repeated stale and false report, of
coalition between Mcssrs. Calhoun and Clay. If
these gentlemen and their friends, happen give the
same vote, though from tho most opposite reasoning,
this clamor of coalition" is Immediately raised by
the despicablc pack ofhirclng Editors who will per-
NIT Senator to elevate himself above party
sidcrations, to leave the Jackson traces, for a
moment, even though mpclcd by his conscience and
his oath. Messrs. Tazewcll and Hayne, voted in
such way, to deprive the President of the power
of sending Minister to France, without the prcvi-
Gus sanction of the Senate. Immediately they
are assaed in all the Van Buren, prcsses-their con-
duct attributed to secret hostility to the President
a"Coalition" charged with men, between whom
and themselves, there is correspondence of SEN
timent. The design of this is to whip them back
into the traccs-to intimdate them into passive &C
quiescence in the will of Jackson-to make them
the slaves and ministers Of the pleasure of the
"kitchon" Cabinet, Of Amos Kendall & Co. We
have seen the of this game i'll the instance
of Branch and others, but shall not see it sue.
