WASHINGTON, April 3--Tbe admins.
traion is putting forth its whole strength,
to carry Virginia. From every part Of TINT
State we hear the notes of preparation for
battle given by "he party" The Wings
and Conservatives also are animated by at
least equal zeal and energy. and are deter.
mined not to be outstripped in their exer
tons by the Loco Focos. The Cabinet
are looking to the struggle with deep solI-
ctude. Emissaries of the Government
arc traversing the State urging the election
of the Governments candidates; and ma
king the most disgracefu appeals to the
sordid passion Of self.lnterest. In the
Norfolk district the Loco Foco candidate
for Congress is openly eleclioneerlng, on
the ground that, beng supporter OF the
administration, he would be able 10 obtain
more iavors from the General Government
for his constituents, that would his oppo.
ncnt, who is well known to be on, of favor
at Court The people of that district, ]
am informed have properly resented so
disgusting an appeal; and will return DR.
Mallory by larger vote than has ever
been given 10 hun. The veteran weather
cock of the Inquirer seems imbued with a
second spring of existence. His ardor, his
industry, his perseverance, furnish an
example to the editors on the Wing side
They are most credtabe to him; and
would do honor to better cause. He is,
of course, in the highest favor with the
administration party, and with the Cabi-
net.
Letters from our friends in all parts of
the State, represent their prospects as
highly encouraging and the election Of
Mr.. Rivcs to the United States Senate is
looked upon as certain.
The President continues to be besieged
most merclcssly by applicants for Office.
A gentleman who is in the habit Of seeing
him frequently, declares that not day
passes without Mr.. Van Buren, receiving
numbers of letters, begging, imporng, and
some absolutely demanding appointments
for the writer's or their friends. He is
consequently in the most pniable tribula-
ton. What can he do' If he makes a
removal, the most tremendous clamor is
borne upon the wings of every wind. He
hears but one burst of Indignation from the
boar mountains Of the North to the tenn
ing vaIies of the South BY every ap.
pointment he makes he gfatifies one appi.
cant, and 1isappoints ninety nine perhaps
converts them into enemies. 1t is an un.
questionable fact, that the President has
received The most significant limitations,
that he is in danger Of losing the greatest
portion of his Irish Legion in New York
because the claims of clever young
barrister, the son of an Irishman, and one
ofthe "lnllen soldiers" in the glorious three
days OF November. who is considered as a
leader Of The said Legion, have been SC
long disregarded. Do not be surprised il

! There has been another-not explosion
bu, Cracas in the cabinet and Mr.. Var
Buren, ami Mr.. Forsyth are excessively
cool, polite, and diplomatic towards cacI
other. That "Oiiuer lie Diable,' Amo
Kendall, is the cause of it. Forsyth hates
hir, with credi,oble rancour, and became
so indignant at some new proof of Kendall:
influence over the vacilallng mind of the
President that he could not forbear expires
sing his feelings in a most contemptou
manner. Kendall returns the senlimenl
of Forsyth, Pointse,t and Grundy toward
him, with all the malignant and furtiv,
hate of his nature. 1t is not general,
known. that when Kendall insultcd tn,
