Mr. Rrrs moved on the 2lsi January, to strike

The amendment was adopted by vote Of y TO
rs and the resolution was agreed to- The loan
bill was taken IN and discussed by Mr.. Evans and
Mr.. Wright, until the Senate adjourned
Lerd Ashbsrton waited upon the secretary OF
State this merning. and tomorrow he is TO call
upon the President TO present his Official letter from
Queen victona
The indiscreet letter OF Mr. Clay TO the North
Caroliniaps has contributed TO widen the breach
between the wings 10 Congress and the President,
aad il is Mow both fatal and final. As party the
wings n Congress will never support the Admins
tyation. portion OF them, coming IRON the East
nd
diten OF affairs and II left 10 act independently,
would cheerfally cooperate with the Executive IN
carrying on the Government; but the Clay flag is
fairly soat, and the action OF the party must con-
form 10 his wishes. Ii is doubtful whether one
third Of the wings in .,he House heartily concur IN
the Clay movement, but this portion eoapnse some
in the country and from present appearances, they
will control a majority OF Congress Ihey were
obviously wersted the recent political discussion
on the loan bill, but that VIII have no influence on
their future conduct
The violent opposition of the Clay men. must OF
course preclude the idea of appointing any ct this
class to Office hereafter, and II will perhaps be ne
nessary for the President, in justice TO himseli and
his friends, to remove portion OF those who are
now occupying places under the government lie
is responsible for the manner IN which the public al
fairs are administered, and he must have men IN
office who will not use their influence az aInst nm
Some of the subordinstes IN the New fork Custom
Hsuse, will probably find II tor Their advantage to
sever their connexon with the Clay clubs, as early
as practicable. Their interference in party politics,
has already attracted the head OF the department
having the supervision OF the Customs, and as II Is
expressly prohibited by the Presidents circular he
may perhaps feel called upon 10 n,erpose and arrest
The appointment of son of Mr. Hugh Maxwell,
as Secretary OF Legation TO the Cour, ct 81 Peters
burph, is a striking evidence OF the liberal aud kind
Nv feelings Of the President. Mr.. Maxwell, the la
Their, spoke Of Mr. Tyler. al the Exchange meeting,
in terms of much harshnes but matter OF this sort
weighs nothing when the public interest s at stake.
