WARRINGTON lNOv -, AooO
Both Wings and locofoco,, look amazingly rlum
about this period and il 10 not certain thatapy thing
short Of warm bath aud short commons, will bring
them no state Of wanted conplacency. They look
at each other doubtingy; their faces are Ssng, anu
ikeIths meeting pick pockets iiosnsow Heath.are
ready to eat each other up-lest the one should be-
tray the other and bring about an introduction TO the
gibbet.
The wings, believe, have pretty much abandon
ed the idea Of electing Speaker from their own
ranks and, il conscious OF their inability to do So
begin TO talk very respectfully and kindly about
Francis l.. Pckens, and say that il they cannot get
their own man, they will prefer him infinitely to any
other man the locofocos can run. This is all well
enough, aud see no reason why any should com
plain at their preference But, If the wings, are OPP
posed to locooco doctrines it is marvellous strange
me- that they should have any kindly feelings to-
wards Mr.. Pickens.
, If in the honest avowal Of most deadly hostility
10 a | banks, il an undened and unequivocally ex
pre- ssed hatred ct all corporations, settled and
pressible hostility to the credit SYSTEM
iOc0fOc0, there Is the Honorable Francis L. Pick-
ems Of South Carolina, the very King and Mdgnus
Ap0iio OF the iocofOcos If the wings, however. can
take Mr. Pickens and swallow him tail foremost, then
all will BE- right and no possible injury San accrae
to the ladies and gentlemen at the " Three Horse
south Carolina, will be amazingly hckled and glori-
fled the Butt Enders Of ranmany Hall will be ina
mortalized, and all the wings between the Potomac
and the Bay OF Fundy, may drink their Jnlcps with
out bitters
Mr.. Pickens, by birth, by education, by practice,
and by principles, is every way qualified for the du
ties OF the CHAIR he is what the Yankees, IN contra.
distinction to the phraseolegy Of John Bun would
call very clever fellow, and If elected, will, doubt
not, endcavor to make the House OF Repre-
preserve order and spit in tae spitoons instead Of
be-slavering the carpets
1t is God, by the many that at early day Of
the Session, a distlnguis he'd Member from New
York will introduce resolution Of order, requiring
the members to refrain from blowing their noses on
the desks and damask curtains.
In reference to the topics that are to be embraced
the Message Of the President, have as is usual
a great variety Of r1mors. some Of them proba-
bly, we'll founded but, large majority are unqucs-
'ionaby destitute of foundation. gentleman who
deals largely and somewhat learnediy, perhaps, IN
court gossip and scandal, and who suppose Knows
much any one else about the determinations OF
the President, Informed me yesterday, that deputa
ton IF gentlemen from New York, irenas OF the ad.
minist ration, had been here, and advised Mr. Van
Buren, to recommen nd some measures, OF a conserva-
tive nature, in re alton to the Banking System OF
the Country. 1t was urged, understand, with much
vehemence. that action OF the kind was neces-

The subject, for the moment, was entertained by
the President, and considered dispassionately, when
ject The Colonel received the proposition In great
dudgeon; treated il with the most profound con-
tempt and abhorresce, and was about quitting the
palace in rage. when Mr. Van Buren promptly AS
serted that the subject should be dismissed uniavo
bly, and nothing more Should be said in relation To
il. The gentlemen from New York were, the next
day, informed by Mr. Van Buren,, that, after having
Inatureiy considered their suggestions, he had ar
rived al the conclusion, that as the Constitution
proved bat one mode for the regulation OF the
currency, he could not consent to take any steps OF
conservative kind, calculated to subse-ve their
wishes. So much for Tumor and gossip. The story
is undoubtedly equivocai; but be that it may, il
proper 10 say, that relief need be expected by
the country at the hands Of the approaching Con
gress. The vexed inanciers OF tue Union will be
left Ia make out their own redemption In Tact, and
state without entertaining any disrespect for any
one nothing can or will be doae by the administra
ion at the approaching session, that does not meet
the concurrence Of Mr.. Calhoun and Col. Beaton.-
Those two men win manage the country.
Gen. Scott, il 10 possble-and will you believe III
may obtain .ths ssmru4sion Of the Harrisburg
Convention. His friends, and claim to be one ii
them, should dsprecste, in my opinion, any such
event. A pominAtion, at the hands Of the ultra
wings, could not, H. my opinion, do him any GOOD.
II expected that he could be elected the i'm
mediate s, successor o. mr. Van s1sen ne should
entangl Cling alliances and il his frisnds act wisely
and discreety, they will sustain him unsupported,
unproped by any extranssus party Influences. Gen.
Scott has solid capital to work on, and IL left to his
own legitimate sesosrces, cannot fail Of success
Clay, IL 10 reported, know not what authority,
has sgni6ed that he does not wish TO be candidate
for the Presidency, and Is net, under the present
aspect Of thisgs II ell disposed 20 subject himself 10
the risk Of third mortifying defeat
~spefssss legs The reivsn IF TIE asser
Membe arriving hourly, and by Saturday night
pcx, all hands will be their posts ready for duty
pro ded they all wcll-sob-enough 20 get up to
the capital. Yours truly,

Mn Espr upset Professor Olmsted in his lecture
at the Clinton Hall last night. His theory is nm i'm
provement on that Of Mr.. Red6eId, who says that
in every hurricane, tornado and gale the wind blows
in whrlwind motion. From the facts produced by
Professor Espy last evening, is apparent that the
air rushes into centre, ascends, and passes of pre-
cissy the air in . will rush to the place
and 20 up through the chimsey, and expand al the
top. His experiments with the common Gre pump
showed the effect az condensation and expansion of
dsnsed, and great heat produced, and by drawing
il out again. the air Of 10 expanded, and cloud
generated BY the rarefactioR OF the air As the air
ascends and expands II grows cold al the rate Of
degree for every hundred yards and as vapour 10
turned to rain by cold, hail rain will fall in the
centre Of a storm. The severe north east storm OF
last August, the course Of which have given, he
explained, and said Il fully proved his theory when
great storm Is raging, the wind 10 the north Of II
will blow from the nerth; "a the SOUTH south; TO the
southwest, southwest, and so on. The storm Ia
stion commenced az the southwest, and blew and
along coast pretty much in the manner stated
by Espy.
