Translation from the Democratic Free Fress Of
Pottsville.
"To-day we give extract of a letter received
from valued friend who recently visited the seat Of
our national government, which we are satisfied Will
prove interesting to our numerous readers After
giving vivid description of the many magnificent
public buildings there erected, which cannot but be
viewed with pride and admiration by every American
citizen, and the plain republican manner In which the
President receives his friends the writer justly re-
marksit is strange that Congress- after session of
four months has not yet acted upon the Presidents
Exchequer plan, presented for their consideration
and the adoption of which ia desired by the great
BODY of the people, and which would at afford
relief to the country The spirit of opposition evinced
by some of those who ought sustain the Presidents
views in the conscientious discharge of the duties Of
his high Office is calculated lessen their popularity
with rejecting people,"
WASHINGTON, March a.
have spent very agreeable time here, occasionally
visiting Congress and sometimes strOng over the
beautiful grounds that environ the stately capitol
toll The Patent Office is constructed upon most
magnificent scale. The Treasury Department is also
very extensive. The Post Office building of white
marble, is most chaste edlfce, and is justly ad-
mired by all who visit it.
The able Postmaster General, Governor Wicklife,
has recently taken possession of it, with his assistants
and numerous clerks. The State Department is
very humble building, one would hardly suppose that
occupied by that great Eastern Statesman, Dan
iel Webster, of the ablest men OF the day l. he

cretaries also occupy buildings very like that of the
Secretary of State, Secretary Forward of the Trea-
sury, however, has spacious establishment for the
discharge of his muttarious duties. The customs
and the land business of the nation form two impor
tant items in his official employment. There is one
house that is more desirable than all the rest-It is
usually called tho "W hte House," it is the residence
of President Tyler who, by the way, receives his
company in the most republican style that can be i'm
agined A plain Pennsylvania, like myself is as
welcome as the most distinguished Senator. He is
truly of the people, and desires to serve his
country with the best of his abilities 1t has struck
me as rather strange that his enlightened views in
aton currency has not yet received the sanction Of
both Houses of Congress-. The people are beginning
to stir upon this subject and our Senators and Repre-
sentati will have to give sound money that
will circulate throughout the whole Union Every
body knows that the bank stock could not have been
subscribed if the Pre- ident had not vetoed the
bank bills that were sent to him. There is no mode
barrassed condition of the country be successfully
carried into operation Congress must therefore act
and promptly too, or the freemen of the country will,
at the coming election, speak language that cannot
be mistaken. Every where the public prints ask
ing what Congress has done during this session And
willie all voices censurng them for not acting be-
nefcialIy for the nation, the people turn their eyes
with satisfaction towards the President, he has
long since sent the representatives Of the nation
plan for the relief of the money concerns Of the Re-
public.
The Senate have rejected two appointments recent
ly sent by the President for their nfirmaton, appa
rently without cause; would appear as if the Sena
tors were determined to exercise the Veto power,
power too that of them seem TO hold in such alb
horrencc.
Il is said that General Jackson entertains strong
feelings of friendship for President Tyler account
of his course in relation to the bank bills.
We have had some clouds of war hanging about
our horzon-but come what may may safely trust
the country in the hands of President Tyler and the
able Cabinet that surrounds him. wish our country
friends would frequently visit the seat of our national
and there see, clear of all msreprcsena
TONS the accomplished head of our government. 1t
is said he will make demand Mexico for the
American citizens in custody ofthat government.
Judging from the course of events, it would not
improbable if the people of Texas should before long
take possession of Mexico.
