A most interesting and able debate has been oc-
cupying The House to-day, es yeu will see by your
report The subject of our foreign commercial
relations s one of much interest, and though per-
haps nc definite action will be had the mattel at
this session, wa. glad hear the subject SO well
discussed as it was today, by Mr.. Kennedy and
others.
l wish It were possible TO Pr: on paper any
thing that weuld convey an idea OF the manner in
which tina; man, Allen of Ohio, performed his an
tics in the Senate to-day. Such frantic tearing,
believing, rantng, screaming, roaring howl as The
creature makes cannot be described. And il is all
about nothing, too, for the man i, innocent OF any
lh.g like intelligence or learning, or common
sense Today the whole burden OF bis frenzy was,
that the result Of the last Presidential election was
brought about by British capitalists for the pur-
pose of accomplishing a plan made by Mr.. Web
ster when in Europe. that if Wing President and
Congress wsre elected the State debts would be
assumed by the Federal Government; and that
the mex. election is to be influenced by the same
means. for the same object! This is a fair speci-
men of the mans usual sapicnce. He is laughed
at even BY his own political friends in the Senate.
A pamphlet was distributed among The Locos
in Congress to-day which has excited much atten-
ton. Il is entitled % WARsISd To The De
YocRAcT." and purports to be written by some
friend Of Mr. Van Buren, in reply to the pamphlet
of Mr.. Rheit, which sen. you some tine ago. 1t
is purely Banonian in its style, so much SO that
every body at first supposed it TO be his, and indeed
il sounds like him throughout. 1t is perfectly
savage u,on Mr.. Calhoun and his friends, though
not more so than Benton has already shown HIM
self to be in his unreserved dsnunciations OF that
gentleman.
1t notices the " Appeal of Mr.. Rhett terms
him " one of the cat'spaws ofMr. Calhoun" and
speaks of Mr.. c. Throughout, as the NULLtFlER'
declares that Mir. Rhctt's Appeal is an . 06-
stscle' thrown in the way, "ra,hcr than fair
proposition to the Democracy by which they may
unite upon common candidate that
conditions are proposed in that Appeal which tse
writer knew to be g dishonest and impcachable, y
and that it's object is g to pick quarrel with the
Democracy and force the party 10 take up the
Nullilier or else incur the evil OF =" dtsanson. =
The Nullifsr thinks he has popularity enough to
enforce terms.-Hc surposes that his withdrawal
would be fatal TO tho Democratic party, and there
fore the party will submit to his djsgraceiul con-
dilons rather than DO dismembered and dispers-
ED 81 say, let the Nullifer go Let him pick
the quarrel'-" would say to him, "ysu may
90, sr-"H He left us once, but it did not Kill us.

Democracy"
After putting terriblya while about his intention
to preach sundry long dscoursss from this text,
the writer declares that Mr.. Calhoun intends " to
force the Democracy to throw aside all other can
didates than himself, or, failing in that, " to d.
vide the party a.d march his division over to the
FederaIists;' that the first plaN will fail because
tho Democracy "will never uaite on t. NuGGcr
who turned against his first benetactor, (Generar
Jackson,) who espoused the cause Of Whiggey
and voted against the nomination of Mr. Van bu-
rem g England With the other PROJECT he viii
be moro ouooo,,ful; the tin.whiste of Whiggery
and god.like Federalism (ths Madisonian) has
already given him welcome into the ranks as the
negotator of the British treaty" 1t speaks of
the time CAST ,ummer) when the Secretary of
State was making aisgraceful and dishonorable
surrender of an important portion OF the territory
Of his Country into the hands Of the British, and eli
the same time conducting secret negotiation with
the British capitalists for Ike assumption of State
debts" The Nulli!ier became the champion OF
the article. of captulation ne will next sanction
the measure of assumption. The Federal Secre-
tary of Stats will give up Protection, and the
Southern NulliGer will giro up State Rights"
+" This i. the next treaty that will be effected by
the Secretary negotiater and Nulliiier." The
writer Winds up with warning to the % Democ-
racy TO guard against the insidious Vaccinations
of the RkeAs" until he shall havo time to lay be-
fore the country all the facts in connection with
the above stoiements-promising to distribute
10000 copies of this warning, and to go fully into
the subject in his next.
The Democracy here pretend to believe that
this amiable document is not written either by Mr.
Benton or any other friend of Mr. Vas Buren, ;
but they will find that it expresses the feelings and
sentiments of Benton and his friends too correctly
to bo q joke. 1t is in my opinion perfectly genu-
Inc, and is mere pop-gun to what will follow.
lMr Calhoun is in high hope and ssos his way
clear. A recent visit of some OF the young De-
mocracy ofNew-York, lately defeated by the Old
Hunkers at Albany, has chcered him up Won
derfully He is now sure of New-York. Poor
man Mr. Van Buren, will use him up in the
twlnkling Of an eye. Yours, MANHATTAN.
