this country, merchants, farmers, and ALL that the
government be brought back as speedily as possible
to the lines marked out for it by the constitution, or
throw aside this parchment and begin de moro. For
the interests Of the merchant, the dsconncction OF
bank and state is evidently desirable under the pre-
sent political arrangements and the present policy OF
the reienng party We may never hope for a splen-
did union of bank and state like that OF England be-
cause the landed Interests are and will be oppo
sed to il. Mr. Webster asd his colleagues may talk
forever about the commerce of the country but I'M
less they court the farming interests they will be
doomed to be in minority. If mind will not advo-
cate the leading interests of the country, mpudence
and Gu inning will do it and always succeed power.

WASHINGTON, 3lst Aug, q p. M.
The excitement in this city is every day increasing,
stronger and stronger. The Cabinet are busily en-
gagged and all the under officers of government, to-
gether with the members of Congress, writing
post haste dispatches for the administration members
to come on instdnter.
Day and night the caucus room is filled with poll
tcians. Although it is supposed that majority OF
the representatives in the city, seldom indeed,
it for to be except at the dinner table Both
parties stralnng every nerve to carry their points
The opposition members, encouraged by their late
victories throughout the country, have entered the
field in a most resolute and determined manner.
"Polk and the Globe" Bell and the Inelligencer,"
present the only topics of conversation and de-
BATE In every direction the government menials are
flying to get the members names they arrive. The
opposition stand as two to one and each day brings
in fresh supplies. AS aparty they are better organ
lied than they have ever been before. No dsscntons
no schisms-but uniting as one body for the &C
complshment of their objects, every minor consdera
ton and personal preference aside FORTS attain
ment.
The party in power feels, for the first time, the
shocks of the earthquake they read in the hand writ
ing of popular Indignation, 'nene teker to their eter
nal overthrow. Blair gives up his chance as lost.
But with the desperation of drowning man, he grasps
convulsvey at every straw This is the most import
ant and interesting movement that has been known
since the Revolution, and its results will be, in after
times looked upon only secondary to that great
epoch. Poinsett, Kendall, Forsyth, and senator
Grundy are sounding the alarm" If the opposi-
tion should elect their Speaker, Reuben Whitney will
not be found here ten days afcr-who is to shsuder
his liabilities? Echo answers who Will the Gen.
eral now endorse for the honesty Of his frisnd?"
Report says no-he has undergone change of opin-
ion, relative to honest Reuben within few
weeks.
On the election of Mr. Bell depends the settlement
Of an important question, now at issue-the election
of the next United States President
Let me shcw my assertion by data.
The political complexion of the country, the ad
minisnaon side has never worn more sckly hue
than it does at present. The once invulnerabe rarly
has divided itself into numbcrless small and desperate
factions headed by men whose principles arc mca-
sured by the standard of their pecunary gains. The
success of Mr.. Bell as Speaker Of our National Legis
ature, will exhibit in the strongest light the state
Of political sentiment abroad. The thousands of
party satellites that anxously awaiting this result
will at once throw themselves and their influence in
the ranks Of the vicors, TO get portion Of the party
spols as remuneration for their dishonesty.
The administration cannot loose the number of
three thousand in the different states, that are
pronounced as going in their favor, without meeting
signal and decisive defeat. The election Of oppo
siiion speaker will take away that majority, and leave
the party as il was in 1900
"Rtche' and the Times OF New York;" have
already kicked out Of their traces. The Argus"
fearful OF speaking treason, looks with calm in
difference. The chances are against Mr. Polk
Trcachery has crept in the party-at least, says
Blair-nnd the result must show for reform.
The cabinet s vieen, in their denuncia,ions Of the
"Old Mems COMMITTEE" Mr.. "Bu'Ior' is for a turn
out OF these Tories and in favor of Reorganization
Of Tammany This gentleman attributes TO thu old
mems committee the blame Of all this pnrty disturb
ance. Should the administration be enabled to retain
their present state Of power-with one two excep-
TONS that committee will be denounced, as enemies
10 the general government The hand Of prescription
will fall on them when they least expect il 4; and
those Of them, who are feeders the government
bounty, will be compelled to seek for living by fol-
lowing some honest profession.
Nextin point Of interest, TO the choice OF speaker
comes the question of " a United States Bank"
In the coming session, doubt whether there will
be much, or any action this subject. tits, how
ever, distinctly understood by the opposition, that
in the general Congress, no other question will be
acted upon, before a disposal is made of this. They
imagine 10 possess force of sufficient power, that
will enable .hem despite Of the executive reto 10 carry
their end The selection ofSpcakcr will also operate
powerfully upon this question. II "Bsl is elected,
there cannot be much doubt TO the result The
party will then be in the possession Of good excuse
look after their interest by voting in ils favor
Mr. Beaton''-now that the Expungins" hobby
is rode ou-so busily engaged in picking up fresh ma
terials for his golden gew gaw." His popularity s
based upon the success OF this scheme. Should he
miss his object "he will fall like to rise no more
Mr.. Wright 10 be his companion in the race--and
