WAsHINGToN, Dec. 6.

awning was uOuC MI lIit l1OuSG lGSleI-
day. To-day, the only matter of impor.
lance was the reception, in both Houses, of
Message from the President, assigning
his reasons for Withholding his assent Fl ON
The great " lntern2! improvement Bill" Of
last Session. We understood it to he ac-
ccmpanled by Report, from the Engineer
Department, in which the items of national
improvement contained in the bill are ex-
Flalned, defined, and distinguished from
those OF local character the presence of
which in the bill forms the constitutional
ground of objection. Neither the House
nor the Senate will sit again till Monday
next.
A rumor is nhoat here that Dallas is to
go into The Treasury; Barry is to be sent
to Eng land. Some heart-burning is said to
exist hetwixt Secretary McLane and Mr..
Rives, who is unwilling to take office under
Mr.. McLane. 1t is proposed to Sc nd Liv-
ngston (who is very unpopular with the
kitchen cabinet) to France. Speak er Ste
vensou ut 10 soid) 10 TO 10 prnuidaH for in
some way or other and Judge Wayne Of
Georgia, IS to be the party candidate fol-
the Speakers chair.
The Message, as was TO be expected, has
given great offence to the friends of the
manufacturing interests and domestic in
dustry. 1t is expected that the manufac-
turing States will take strong ground
against South Carolina, and that Van Buren,
will seek to throw himself into the scale OF
the South, as a mediator between the con.
tending parties. The object of course is to
keep the opposition divided. There APP
pears, however, to be disposition nantes
ted on the part of all the leading men of the
opposition, TO put aside all personal consld-
erations, and select candidate for the
Speakers Chair who will unite the votes OF
all those in opposition to Van Buren,. Who
that candidate may he, is not yet known
perhaps some prominent man of the Jackson
party. 10 return to the Message Whilst
IL has given offence to The manufacturing
States, its language, though equivocaI, is
understood rs n declaration of war against
South Carolina and as such it has given
no small degree of alarm to the slave hold
ing interests, who think they see, in the
overthrow of the position which South Car
DINA has assumed, the establishment of a
principle which will give to the Federal
Government Legislative control over the
question of slave property. With respec.
10 that portion of the Message relating to
the Bank, there seems to be no difference
OF opinion out of the ranks Of the Hickory
Club. 1t Is now apparent. that during the
present year there will he a surplus of from
10 TO IL millions, in addition TO the amount
of the revenue, which will be about 25 mil
lions more. 1t is the obvious intention of
General jackson to transfer this immense
sum from the Bank of the United States in
to the hands of the Albany Regency, to
constitute a capital always available for
electioneering purposes. This is doubt
less one object sought in the dcstruc-
ton of the Bank OF the United States.
1t is easy to see that in this collision be-
tween the Albany Regency, aud the Bank
of the United States, state of great en-
barrassment and distress, if not of universal
bankruptcy. must ensue.
