We have no Swiss regular scrlbb!er at the great City
and must therefore trust TO our private CORES
pondents 10 for giving some glances at the
passing scenes, may CLEAN them from the genera
passages of their letters not deemed unfit for the pub
lie eye: ~
Extract from Washington, Dec. 90.
"Mr Tyler's Flscay in any thing like the form
Swallowed forth in The Message can never meet te APP
probation of the Democratic Party in Congress 1t IS
a Government Bank TO all intens and purposes. 1t
would discount bills, issue paper currency, and re-
ceye depostes The money OF the People would be
loaned out to favorites, it was by the Pet Banks Ill
The Exchange power and the Depositing power were
subtracted@then what remains would be something
like the Independent Treasury, with an issue OF fifteen
millions of Treasury notes as currency There are
some Democrats who from what have learned might
be willing 20 thus far As at present advised, am
not of the number"
From another, same date.
GAS vet there has been distinct development of
the views of the several parties No one seems inclined
to lead off and each appears to wait the moves oil the
other II is impossible to say how long tins state OF
things will continue. Mr. Clay has apparently laid
down his dictatorship Instead of engrosslng the con-
troll Of the leading committees, at the last session, lie
has declined being put on my committee For the
present Achilles seems to have put of his armor and
retired to his He is waiting the fortunes OF the
war
From another, same date.
"Thc preliminary discussion which IS now gong on
in our House upon the subject of the Tariff warrants
the belief that an angry ano pfotracteu oeoae a"as
the introduction the BILL which is intended 10 be in
troduced for increased protection, rather than revenue
And the question addresses itself 10 the nation,
whether retrenchment which will bring the national
expenditures within the limits of the present revenue
or increased expenditures with view 10 protection,
shall characterize the administration Of the Federal Go
yernmenp An the Wing promises and professions on
this subject are about be fasfed, and increase
rather than reduction of expenditures TO be one Of
the fruits of the base and agtious umbuggcy of the
last canvass.
EXTRACT from another letter from Washington
Notwithstanding the objections to the Message,
there is no disposition to assa the Administration
The feeling is do it JUSTICE and sustain it as far as IS
consistent with principles and doctrine; and when
forced 10 oppose it, TO dol firmly, but in tone of mo-
deraton One great object is to turn to the best &C
coun, the great Victory have achieved If the par
y should act with prudence, rmness, and patriotism,
much nav be done for the country and free insi-
tutons We may thoroughly reform the Govern,
men and restore the Constitution; but if tins occasion
is suffered to pass unimproved, il to be feared that
the opportunity will be lost for If It should be,
am resolved that il shall not be my fault Nor mine
The preceding extract lays down most wisely the chart
which we ought all 10 pursue. Every sentence is pc.
ca Canon full of the profoundest wisdom Heed and
hearken, we pray oil our friends.-Edtor.
