Tyler Correspondence OF the Herald.
The following is the FIRST of series OF lettes from
Washington, which came from the very central spot
Of Captain Tyler's private cabinet in the White
House, and therefore may be considered official and
perfectly authentic in its representations ofthe Cap
tsin's views of men, things and parties. Ofcoarse
we differ in many respects from its views, but let
them all have hearing at all events -

are very important political items to be adjusted at
the opening Of the sessions among which the
Speakership and Clerkshp of the House, and the
election of Public Printer. The opinion has been
seriously entertained that the Calhoun and Van Bu-
rem men would divide the two first by compre-
mise; as TO the last there is every kind OF difficulty
in emhrio. The Globe is the prominent candidate,
and although it has already pecketed millions of the

every new member and singing eans to every old

friends in Congress have declared emphatcally
against the violent course OF this print-ldon't be

Webster's conscience, however, is composed Of
pliable materials [oretty much like the materials
