most important information relative TO the move
Inents Of Mr.. Van Buren, and his Cabinet. lhis IN
formation is of the highest mportanceto the CONNER

currency system in which the north and south can
unite. Read and ponder.

It's now half past eigh clock, Monday evening
The night is cear-the brlght-but the
eoaAses Of the lfated, unfortunate Van Buren,. Iae
Ca5aet atera secret session Of three days, has just
broken up ~ disorder and ercttement For three
days and almost three nights, the whole concIaye
with the President at It's head have been engaged on
1he most important and extraordinary business. !
have yet ascertaned the exact result OF the pro-
ceedings but know enough 10 state that the ques
tons discussed, were the position TO be assumed
by the President IN his next message. By tomorrow
night will send you a full account of the debate
propositions, votes, measures and every TACT canlay
my hands upon.
Tue result of this cabinet consultation has given
rise 10 a greater excitement, among the "shreds and
patches of the government here than ever renen
ber 10 have seen on any former occasion. ! never
witnessed such scenes in tils city before Kendall
Forsyth, Woodbury., and ALL appear 10 be boiling over
with some p9rten tous species OF indignation that baf
fes every body TO guess. You know Kendall is
quiet stealthy man, IN his deepest moments OF ven
geance-Forsyth is noisy, loud blusterng and haugh
~. | know this much, that, during this secret con-
clave, portion of the cabinet brought forward new
projection a National Bank Kendall, and the locofoco
portion of the Cabinet opposed TO the last On the
contrary, Mr.. Beers, of yonr city, who IS now here
formerly a friend of Mr.. kendalls, and one OF his
principal advisers in the removal OF the deposits Is
decidedly in favor of some national system OF cur
rency under the of Congress. Several other

and Albany. Ii is a strange thing 10 ell-but
1rue enough-the very monied men from New Y ork

and TO remove the depss.tes are now as much
opposed TO his views and his policy The efforts maxi

exchange and currency, are untlrlng and energetic
Mr.. Van Buren,, far as II can be ascei tanned, is
Iath inclined go in that direction, but the plans of
Kendall and Blair, who WELD Jack sons wand STILL
paralyze him at every step. MIR. Van Buren says If
j take such step will net my old friends cast me
off" meaning, by this term General Jackson and
Ihe locofocos.
II is certain however, that some new scheme ,eM
be broughtto light, different from the SUD- Treasury
plan qflast ,einser. The President says !" am
satisfied that tie disconnecton OF bank and State is
a ia nre. would not have recommended il, but for
my Cabinet" Now in this Cabinet, il is well known
that Kendall > policy re gned paramount. The pre-
sent Cabinet is therefore the edge of signal dis
solution. And before many days are over, you will
il snap asunder like feeble willow by the light
ming OF heaven
Another fact of the greatest importance, l have
learned. John c. Calhoun and Martin Van Buren,
have begun n private and confidential correspond
ence. Several letters have passed between thera.-
Now mark my word-thls is ominous to Kendall and
Blair. l know the fact personally, that John G.. Cal
houn insists upon the dismissal Of Amos Kendall as
preliminary step TO his giving the aid Of his talents
and influence TO Martin Van Burens admins tration.
The symptoms of public sentiment in the South,
hostile TO national bank organised as any of the
former institutions were but have reason TO be-
eye that the purpose of this correspondence between
1he President and Mr.. Calhoun, IS, TO bring about
hf hraA fh1 (fa,,-l
gress by Mr.. Calhoun himself, for the settlement
of the currency question: 1t will be recoeced that
IN 1875 10 Mr. Calhoun occupied the same position.
He brought in n bill 10 create national bank 10 re-
trieve the disasters of the currcncy-not because II
was constitutional, or proper. Ii was the use OF a
less % cure greater evil II produced its effect in
that day, and why not in this day?
Such believe to be the features OF the secret cor
respondence between the President and the great
southern senator. Bat am satisfied that Cal
houn will never move IN the natter unless he has
pledge that Kendall and his coterie be removed. If
IAis plan should succeed, there will be little said of
the currency in the next Message. The new meas
Ire will be brought forward under the auspices of
Mr.. Calhoun, with an understanding that the admin
stration forces vote for II. Ii will be measure cal
culaed also tos bring the conservatives to Their aid
If this plan should be adopted, 1t will place Mr.. Cal
houn in the direct line of the sncccssoa, and sach
believe is now the purpose of MIR. Van Buren 10 do.
There will be an entire changs in the cabinet from

up all the facts revealing the present state Of things

WASHINGTON, Nov 2lsi, 1887.
The President has had several animated consua-
tons with his cabinet Kendall insists the divorce
policy. This unfortunate measure has again been dis
cussed in all its bearings, and the conclusion forces il
self upon the mind sf the President and several OF
his cabin7 that perseverance in i will ofieclualy
demollsh the party. strong, extraneous influence
is felt however upon this point. Ii comes from Cal
heun. He has been in close correspondence with the
President In this dilemma The Executive knows not
what 10 do. The abandonment Of the ground occu-
pied in the message Of September will turn agslnst
him his radical friends in both houses OF Congress
and place him hors dl combat. This difficulty he
feels most seasibly, and it is difficulty paramount
10 the thousand others that beset his footsteps at this
moment
National Bank has been suggested and discussed |
IN the warmcst manner. As far personal predlec |
tons q, the President is in favor of sach nsiiu
ton. He refers to the fact that he overruled in /
his last message by the opinions Of others and by the
force Of circumstances, and is exceedingly resive |
under state of things that prevents hlm from exor
clsing even now his cool and sober Judgment. IL Il
