Correspondence of the New York Herald.)


 gentleman of thIs city has in his possession very cuious letter, written him by Gen. Harrison . short time anterior to the Harrisburg Convention. The letter evnces strong feeling of hostility to- wards Mir. Clay; and when published, as it is soon to he, will produce sensation among the poti- cions here and elsewhere. In the letter, Gen. Har- rson speaks of his correspondent and Mr. Cuthbert Powell, of Virginia, as two of his most trusted friends but they also the devoted partzans of Mir. Clay, he felt a delicacy in communicating freely with them on the subject of the Presidency.- After speaking of Mr. Webster in high terms, aud adyerting to the position of Gen. Scott, he refers to Mr. Clay and expresses hs enmity in unequvocal and decided terms. The following is substantially his language .-("l have been for years the devoted friend of Mir Clay, and he has repaid me by acts of black ingratitude.")
 It is not pretended that this is the precise lan- g,age, but it conveys the spirit of the passage.
 The committee from Cincinnati have great difficult ty Tn removing ths remains of Gen. Harrison. They are as badly o the crier of court, who had ta- ken cup too nuch and could pronounce the usu- al formula for opening the court. "Why do you not open the court, sir ?" said the Judge. "Bless your Honors heart," stammered the crier, sits the d-dest hardest court open that ever see." Just with the Cincinnati committee. They cannot get away with the patriots bones, any how. They came here principally Tor the purpose of looking out for some bones with little meat upon them, and they are hard to find. Almost every man of the cemrnit- tee has personal object in vew--some office flor which he urges the promise of Gen. Harrison, and the ashes of the brave and honest old man, cannot be removed until their interest is subserved. They have been here some eight or ten days living in clover at Browns hotel, drinking their Champagne and Madeira, all of winch is to be paid for out of the appropriation by Congress, by the city of Cin- cnnati, glorifying one another, and expaatng upon their own services to the cause of the country.
 As soon as their own personal objects are accom- plished or the patience of the administration is ex- hausted, it is to be hoped that the remains of the veteran will be removed with appropriate ceremonies. The solemnity of the occasion, however, will be diminished by the open and almost ndelicate manner in which the committee have mixed up selfish and personal matters with the legitimate object of their mission. Their business will probably be finished by Saturday. In that event, the removal will then take place-N. Y. Herald

The Madisonian, speaking of Clay's bank report, says-"lts is to be understood being the report of majority of the Committee and of course is to be regarded open for amendment. It cannot be ex. pected that this any other plan pass Congress without compromise"
 It is probable that these amendments will hardly proceed far to reject Mr. Clays opinion respect ing the constitutionaty of the branches. We sus- pect the whig papers have eagued together to laugh MT. Ewing out of his strange fancy begging the per- mission of the States to admit branches.

WHIG LEGiELArIoN.-Mr. Fillmore from the Committee of Way and Means has reported bill to the House of Representatives authorizing A LOAN of $12, 900 900. This was done on Thursday the 24th ult. On the very same day MT. w. c. Johnson another whig reported bill to distribute give way the nett proceeds of the public ands Was fol- y ever more egregiOus-stupidty more blind or ab- surdl What does it amount to7 That while the Trea suy is short of funds they propose give away permanent branch of revenue, and maie it up by borrowing at interest from foreign capitalists, and to pay the interest and principal upon the loan, the pro- perty of the people to be taxed in new duties. This is specimen of Federal Reform Legislation.- But this is not a To render this absurdity plausi- ble, the whg Secretary of the Treasury has been de- tected and exposed the most papable and glaring nistatenens regard to the real condition of the Treasury; mistatements which could proceed but
 from two causes, gross ignorance of the duties of his department, or what is more probable, a shameless attempt to impose upon Congress and the publc.- But thanks to the talent and experience of Senator Woodbury, and the clear headed examination of Mir. Wright ints Mir. Ewing's report, the fraudulent scheme has been exposed and the Secretary has been condemed by his figures and convicted from them of large over-satement of the amount of the deficit All this, however, was ne cessary to Mir. Ewing's party to jastfy the called session of Congress. It was necessary to show the people other reason for the extraordinary expenses to which they were put in convening their legislatures and holding spe- cia elections, than the hurry of Mir. Clay and the other leaders to put the Sub-Treasury to death, to charter bank squander the public domain, and set up that gigantic system of corruption by which alone the party could retain heir power acquired by fraud and deception--it was necessary to show some oth- reason for this great hurry than that this great pie bald whg party would fall to pieces before he could consummate his schemes to oppress and enslave his countrymen-and while he could not wait on party grounds for the regular session, he obliged to give public for the extraordinary conversation of the Peoples and this reason was created not found in the state of the Finances. The Treasury. said they, wanted replenishment, and could not get along without congress-and Mir. Ewing
 in swelling his charges against against the Depart ment hss only carried out his part of the plan of the fraud.

THE TwENTY-FIRsT RULE.-The following are
 some of the remarks of Julius c. Afford of Georgia
 against the compromise proposed by Mir. Stuart of
 Va. in relation to the principle of the reception of
 incendiary petitions. Mir. Afford is whg of the toughest hewing and according to the Advertiser, the Richmond Whis, and other kindred prints whose Southern affections, if they had aey, blinded by party, he is a "disorganiser," and only "pre- tended whis" for daring to place vital principle in- voving southern peace, before the convenience of extraordinary whig session, and the ineresed policy of the whig party which convened it. Mir. Afford was right-Mr. Wise was right-the question ought to have been met and settled without compromise or postponement, and it would have been met but for the eagerness of the Whig party to hurry to the of their purposes of corrupting the people and brbing the states by their distribution, National debt and Fiscal Bank projects.
