FRIEND EDwARDs:--l have nothing to com
municate that will be interesting to your
readers unless give you the gossip OF the
day, which cannot always be depended on.
J NAV, however, venture to give you
scene or two, as that il the only kind OF mat
ter by which we letter writers contrive to
be read Won have seen BY the papers that
the bill for tie rcpeql Of the charter OF the
Miners Bank Of pu Buque has bsen laid
upon the table uuti the first Tuesday oil
January next. This. Of itself, has little or
no interest in t;-but to a locker on, there
was considerable interest in the manner IN
which II was done. 1t came up on Friday
last, in committee o. the whole, AM was
read section by section, without single
word OF opposition from one Of the Wings,
one or two amendments to the bill was pro-
/ posed BY democrats and adopred mem con.
Rogers looked as If he did not understand
the matter; he had expected every inch Of
ground to be disputed, and that this contest
would ..come off, in committee. In short,
! his countenancc seemed like that of man
in small craft, gliding down stream on
water beautifully smooth, but extremely
rapid, and alternating between hope that all
would be well, and fear that his craft would
be dashed 10 pieces on hidden rocks. The
motion to lay on the table was made, II
carried-and '.our Tom" was mad for Ger
tain. So ends the first act of this farce.

CONGRESS-.

The secrets OF the Caucus which
nominated John w. Jones of Virginia.
have come to light. 1t appears that
the Georgia and South Carolina dele
cations had the Olive Branch rendered
them by the Van Burenites. which
they accepted. They aeceded 10 the
proposition that 10 one Should be put
in nomination unless lie could receive
two thirds majority in Caucus. Mr..
Jones obtained - out Of the IA and
in this way became the candidate tor
Speakership. Nr Jones seat is con-
tested by NJ Bous; on this account ne

thinks the wings have called this meeting
to do great many naughty things, and al
most weeps at the idea OF seeing the names
Of several good democrats attached to the

has discovered is what follows. 1t says:
at is not difficult to perceive the object
Of this commoton in the wing ranks. By
bill now under consideration in the Leglsla
ture, it is rendered possible for the new
State OF Iowa TO participate in the next

can "participate in the next Presidential
election" when The vote for or against the
Constitution cannot be taken until the gen.

possible for Iowa to participate, consistent

New YoRx, January 81, l843.

NEW FORK, January II, l643.
The opposition in Congress, notwithstanding il de-
feated the E1chequer bill by the means of the machi-
merry Of an organized caucus, composed Of faction,
is destined to live and know that the People are not
10 be cheated and humbugged.
In almost every section Of the Union the necessary
steps being taken to inform Congress that some
thing must be done before rises to carry into effect
the patriotic and wise recommendations of President
Tyler.
In Boston the People, headed by the farmers and
merchants of the State of Massachusetts, are acting
and there is at this moment memorial in crcula-
ton in the Metropolis of New England, demanding
the immediate passage Of the Exchequer scheme. 1t
is headed by the distinguished THOMAS II. PARKINs,
and ere this letter reach you, will be signed by
most of the influential of Boston, and of the ad-
jacent country.
Mr.. Leverett Saltonstall and the rest of the fac
tionsts who engaged in Congress in defeating the
will Of their constituents, will soon find that they
have missed the mark for once, and have done those
deeds which will call down upon their heads the in
dgnation of the country. You will find in the col
umns of the Boston Courier of yesterday, a copy Of
the memorial, and l hope you will republish it, i,
is most conclusive and decided.
The message Of Gov. Morton, of NJ ssachusetts,
was delivered yesterday A copy Of it has not yet
reached 1t is looked for with some ,arnestness
and curiosity 1t is hoped and believed that il will
meet the expectations, and receive the appreciation
of the Democracy Of the Union especially of that
just and liberal portion Of it which is disposed to do
justice to the present National Administration.
From Albany, ! learn that the difficulties among
the politicians increases and matters look somewhat
angrily Col. Bentons continued attacks on the Pre-
sident through the Globe newspaper, are hourly
spreading confusion among the bands" lie used to
control. The Colon,l will soon fiud that he is not
supreme dictator and arbter of the fate Of the whole
People Of the United States, notwithstanding he has
learned his lessons from reading the history of The
times of Queen Anne and Sir Robert Wapole
1t is very evident, from the tone of the Dcmocra-
tic presses of the INTERIOR that the Democracy of the
Union, and the PEOPLE, disguised with The ultra
ism of party and faction and determined to give
their support to Administration that is based on
patriotism, and headed by patriotic statesman.
whose views and designs arc above the mere will of
faction.
The prospects Of the Administration brighten in
every quarter and it is not extravagant TO hope that
the day is at hand, when the President will find
himself sustained by helmng mojarity of the
People Of the Union.
The weather continues to be as mild and gen al as
1T usually is in the month of May Business is reviv-
ing and if Congress will but give an Exchequer,
and such an one the President recommends, our
days of wonted prosperity will speedily return.
