this country. II is probable, therefore, should Mr.
Van Buren, be defeated in his financial schemes, that
with Mexico will be resorted to for the purpose
of buryng his disappointments.
The other intelligence, relative to Mr.. Calhoun, is
equally interesting 1t shows distinctly his real posi-
| tion No doubt the opposition in Congress will DO
what they can TO defeat the Treasury Note System,
but if the administration and the conservative men,
bers uEite on that plan they possess the power TO
pass il in both houses.
The great campaign will open next week. we still
anticipate the passage of all the Treasury measures.
From our Correspondent 1aReyraad-No XVIII
WASHINGTON, Sept. l4th, 1897.
A correspondence of an important and interesting
Buren, and the heads of the Mexican government.
Also, between Mr. Forsyth and the republic of
Texas.
Some month or two SINCE the President, in great
haste sent off somewhat secretly, bearer of des-
patches, with official papers from the government,
requesting an immediate and prompt answer to the
charges therein contained, from the President of
Mexico. The question involved in the papers sent
gressions perpeirated by the Mexican authority upon
the rights and property of our American citizens.
Instead, however of Mr.. Van Buren, receiving
swer satisfactory 10 his demand, the "bearer' has
returned bringing renewed confirmation of these
facts in an imperative and insulting message from
the new master OF Mexico, who takes the occasion
to stgmaZe this nation the friendly supporters of
a band of robbers-of course meaning our relations
with Texas. The heads of our department are now
in conclave, sitting upon this subject What conclu-
slons they may come at, l do not know, but de-
claraton of war seems TO me as The only result that
can come from this affair
II IS thought that the President will not yet lay
this correspondence before congress. His object is,
doubtless, to afford sufficient time TO Mexico for ex-
PLANTATION. This he will not receive Unless il comes
in the form of renewed hostility. Mr.. Adams re-
solution, calling upon the President for the contents
of this correspondence, SO modified by an amend
ment, that the President can hold, or Withhold, the
matter at his pleasure The nature of this cores
pondence is not yet Known mean generally.
Therefore, the above will be interesting although It
Is but a garbled account of the affair. A very ex-
citing debate ensued yesterday upon the question OF
Mr.. AS. resolution; twenty or thirty were upon the
floor al time for chance TO speak. Union and dvl-
SION were me cant expressions that came from mem
bers when the admission of Texas named Mr..
Bell by very Judcious notion cut the debate short
and moved for an adjournment The members are
kept in the dark upon the whole of this affair. They
however feel disposed to send their answers back
from the cannons mouth, should there be for
such a STEP
Mr.. Forsyth is up to his in the business of
Texas. The leading men of this republic have made
overtures Tor its annexation to this Union. This does
not appear to be the wish Of the Texan population.
Poor dcuded FOOLS are they not yet aware that the
whole scheme is one of speculation, and that they
to be used as the principal actors in the drama!
1t is even so. The accumulation of wealth. no mat
ter at what sacrifice of life is obtained is the gov
erning principle of the Texan rulers.
report current in this city last Saturday, that
Mr.. Calhoun had become a convert TO the faith, or
message of Mr.. Van Buren,. Why, did not at the
time send you this information, was because did not
give to il any credit. Let state the position of
Mr. Calhoun as had the pleasure of hearing It from
his own mouth
In 1884, while the question of the u. States Bank
was before the senate, Mr.. &. took the occasion to
express his views upon this subject, TO use, if not
the same language contained in the message Of the
President at least the identical views, relative to an
entire dlsconnecton Of the government from the To-
cal banks. Here is the mystery upon which this
NOR was founded. Dunpg the reading of the mes
sage, least that portion of II which speaks OF our
local banks, in connection with the government,
Mr.. Calhoun turned about to friend, and Observed
these are my views exactly" Mr.. c., however did
not intend to be understood as endorsing the sent
ments of the message throughout but to the contra
ry. He looked upon II, with but this one exception,
as being wholly visionary and absurd, and not calcu-
lated in the slightest to meet the emergency Of the
occasion with any kind of success. This is the
whole and correct account of nr. Calhoun recanta
ton. Mr.. G. also observed that he would not OPP
pose good measure because IT came from Mr.. Van
Buren,. The principle what he looked at, and not
the man. He would support the disconnectlon of
Bank and Government. He advocated the passage
of that step 1894 II not Mr.. c. that had tarn
ed 10 the measures Of the President, but 1t was the
President that had taken up and recorded the views
stands the man. Mr. G. is yet in favor of q Nation
al Bank. Does this look like going over to the Van
Buren, ranks 2 You may expect from Mr. Calhoun
greater display Of talent, in taking his opposition to
Mr.. Van Buren, this session, than he has for some
years exhibited.
There does not appear TO exist amy union Of sent-
ment between Clay, Webster and Calhoun. They
are all aiming al object-and they will each select
distinct and different ground to work upon But one
thing IL certain, and that is, their united efforts will
be used to defeat the grand Executive scheme ofssu
ing 10 certain extent, the Treasury drafts. The
bills have reference TO, the ones brought into the
Senate by Mr.. Wright, and in the House by Mr..
Cambreng. These bills are calculated, if adopted,
10 throw the whole monetary affairs Of the Union d.
rectly in the hands Of Van Buren, and his Cabinet
and poor Benton is glad of the opportunity thus af-
forded to keep back little longer his golden hobby,
and will doubt give them his hearty concurrence
tits understood in this city that the radicals Of
New York will unite with the young mems party Of
Tammany Hail. II this is done, they will secure the
next eections-for those of the conservatives that
may feel disposed not TO keep with this party, will
amount over third Of the numbers that left
the hall some months since Join with the radicals
II will be beyond doubt one Of the most important
elections that will have taken place in your city since
the panic Of 1884. will write you again by
tenights mail.
