LETTERS FROM WAsHINroN-No.N.

We have had an exciting day in Congress. In
the morning at ancariy hour, Mr.. John G. Calhoun.
took the floor in the Senate, and made tu, expose
OF his views and opinions touching the measures of
tie administration.
He came out in l1l supporter of the Message
rf Mr. Van B rem; advocated the Sub-TreaSuiv
plan, and assumed position, that must lead the
world to regard him as one Of the props and deen-
drrs Of the administration.
This incident, has created great sensation in
Washington, and may be regarded as Il new era in
the political affairs Of the country. Mr.. Calhoun,
is great man, however, he may be placed, and
never did he hold more conspicuous place than lie
does a; this moment The effect Of his speech of
to-day day will be felt from end of the country to
the other.
In the House of Representatives, the Dcpositc
| Bill was taken up in Committee of the whole, but
before it was discussed at any length, it was laid
aside till tomorrow. for the want Of iniorma ton
which will be obtained in the morning at the Treas
ury Office In great haste. Yours, SC.

FAIR BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS.

We copy the following from the Pennsylvania;
1.-THE London Standard, leading tory organ
on the eve Of the British Parliamentary elections
urges its friends 10 be liberal with their money for
the purpose Of carrying members Of their way of
thinking, and holds up the bank of the United
StatesBank as a bright example for their imitation:
"ihat iasiiiuiion," adds the Standard. "haring in
its contest Nth General Jackson expended a
million and a half Of money upon a single gem
srdl election" The whole tory party are, there
fore, soundy rated by the Standard for their pars-
mony, and are reproached for suffering themselves
to be outdone by the Bank ofthe United States.
Win some Of the bank organs be kind enough 10
favor US with their opinions about the matter 7
How does il happen that the same system of pro-
cedure is whiggcry here, and toryism there
that our great tchig Bank and its tactics are so
much admired by tories Of Great Britain, when
the American bank pntty endeayors to stigmatize
their opponents as toriesl Is il possible that q
few thousand miles totally alters the sgnifica-
ton OF words ~
The expenses of the Bank Of the United States
being placed entirely at the discretion OF Mr. Bid
die, by an express vote Of the directors, no per-
son but himself could state, with accuracy, the
amount Of the expenditures incurred in the contest
referred TO. The intimate relations which owls,
between him aud the foreign stockholders whose
agent he is. have undoubtedly led to disclosure
to his patrons, which the people Of the Unit
States, though proprietors Of onc-ffth par, Of the
stock Of the Bank, have sought in vain.
The Baltimore Gazette says that the haryes
is now nearly completed, and the expectations o
the farmer have been more than realized "

through the State Of Ohio, tina: the crops of al
kinds Of grain have proved remarkably heavy, an,
the harvesting very fortunate. There is very lit

| have Gen the statement of Mr.. j Watson
Webb, published in the National lmelligencer
of this morning, in relation TO an interview be-
tween him and myself, as the bearer OF commu-
nication from Col. Claiborne. did not inform
Mr. Webb that the letter from Mr.. Gholson was
not challenge, but did state that it was not for
me to say that 1t was challenge, but that Mr.
Webb must interpret the letter for HIMSELF that
had no authority to place any construction upon
it. In the course Of the interview, Mr. Webb adj
mtted that Col. Claiborne had delivered to him
in person Mr. Gholson's letter, and left the same
with him. lie also conceded that Col. Claiborne
had informed him that it was for HIM, Mr. Webb,
to interpret Mr. Gholsons letter as he thought
proper, but that he. Mr.. Claiborne, was not au-
thorized to say it was a challenge NJ. Webb
further added, that his letter to Col. Claiborne
was not contradictory of either of those state
ments. Mr.. Webb did state, that if was au-
| thollzed to say that tho letter from Mr.. Gholsor
was challenge, he would accept it, when again
stated that il was for Mr.. Webb to interpret the
letter as he thought proper, that had no authorl'
| ty to place any construction upon il. Mr. Webb
| at the commencement, as well as at the close Of
our interview, disclamed any intentional dlsre
spoct to myself or To Col Claiborne in declining
| TO receive his communication, and stated that II {
ground which he assumed was tins, that he woul,
receive no letter through Col Claiborne, or any
other person, from Mr.. Gholson, unless the bear
CT was authorized to say it was n challenge.
