PRESIDENT MAKING.
From, the W ashington Correspondent OF the Ne~
York Courier q EnQuier.

York Courier e Enquier.
At no former period, within my recollection;
have ever witnessed more heart burnlngs aho
bitterness, among the President makers, tnan
now prevails in the ranks OF the admlnlsua tlol
marty. The friends of Mr.. Van Buren, are gath
ering their forces together for the coming con-
fiict. They know and feel the necessity OF an
early blow at Judge White and his adherents.-
From their shrugs and inuendoes, it would seem
that they have some great plan in operation.
thew have not, il is their wish to make such an
impression upon the Wigs Their fury, sooner
or later, will burst the White party, OF Whon
they privately speak in terms the most sneerlng
and sarastic. Al the late festival, have gooo
reason to believe, strong indication were gwen
of coming events. The Vice President has at his
nod, the disciplined troops. The Judge has the
greatest number of the party, but they are mali
tia men, anditis supposed will nots stand charge
In connection with the Presidency, as have
heretofore remarked, is the election for Govern
or, in Pennsy]vania;-the Speakers Chair o.
the House of Representatives;-the printing fol
Congress, &C. The Globe will "go the whole
hog" against Judge Hhite and his supporters
The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means (Mr. POLK is to be the Speaker. Apor
ton of the New York Delegation, have glver
DIR. Sutherland some hopes, but should doup
whether they can again make Tom. foot OF MIN
He will be chosen Speaker at the same time ina
Col. n. W. Johnson is elected Vice president
and not before.
Ibaye no doubt that Mr. White will be nomi
mated by the Legislature OF Alabama, ana mos
probably with much greater unanimity than l:
imagined. 1t will be trying question tor Gen
Jackson. The Judge has been, and yet is one
of his most devoted and most disnterested sup
porters. Can the President in conflict be
tween Mr.. White and Mr.. Yam Buren, take any
part against the former2 | venture TO predic
that he will not Whatever may be the ,presen
appearances in my opinion, when the hour OF
trial comes, he will be found neuter, or rallylne
with his state and the friend of his early man
hood. Any other supposition would seem to De
at war with the laws Of our nature.
This state of things has created great appre
hension among the collar men, and proportion
ate exc rtions are making. The Baltimore Con
VENT mis- so well understood, that il is becoming
odious, and unless something is done, and thai
speedily, the whole project will prove an aoor'
ton. 1t is now generally designated, and very
properly, the Yam Buren, Convention. There
has been some caucussing here on the subject
but in small Squads; principally the dignitaries
of the party. The rank and file are kept in the
dark.
Two subjects have engaged the attention oil
the leaders. First. Is it polite to make an
open, early declaration Of war against Judge
White? Second Is it prudent to let the Van b.
rem Convention be kept back, as was originally
intended, until the autumn Of the present yearl
The chieftans trembleat the consequences oil
procrastination. They have, therefore, deter
mined, that it ought to be convened as early as
May Their object is twofold. They fear, that
by November next the whole subject would be
turned into ridicule, and consequently, are anx-
ious for an early meeting. In addition to which,
they say, by nominating Mr.. Van Buren in
May, they, will compel the friends Of Judge
While to ground their arms, as they will be call,
ed up to act, before. they. are organized and
drilled for the. tight. In this way, they antici-
pate an advantage at the coming elections, by
unfurling the banner of Regular nominated
Candidate.
Having come to this conclusion, the next point
to be settled was, how shall this call OF the Con-
vention be made2 And where shall ii originate2
On former occasion, the Legislature OF Penn
syvania was used as the means OF second no
mination of Gen. Jackson. By arrangement,
the electoral vote Of that State is contracted
for, and is TO be given TO Mr.. Yam Buren,. 1t
was therefore, concluded, by the managers,
that it should again be used. By accomplishing
this object, through that channel, 1t would al
ford the heir apparent to the throne, proof that
the Washington contractors had the power OF
transferring as mere machine, the Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature, and could appropriate it to such
purposes as might be found expedient. This
project is now in the full tide Of successful ex-
pertinent
An Honorable Member of the United States
Senate, it is said has written to certain mem
bers OF the Pennsylvania Legislature, recon-
mending this subject to be taken up, and acted
upon forthwith. Whether the gentleman to
whom refer is acquainted with all the details
Of the plot, am unable to say; but entertaining,
as do, great respect for him, am led to be-
lieve, and sincerely hope, that he is not am
in possession of some facts, connected with the
intrgues respecting this State, that shall here
after develope. At present, will only remark,
that there is not State in the Union, great or
small, so completely hood winked, duped, and
betrayed, as Pennsylvania; and her honest yeo-
many will make the discovery when it is too
late to escape the impending evil.
