ces. doubt whether the presence of Cover
nor Bouck will tranquilize the elements of dis
cord. You will have seen the proceedings o
| the Young Mems General Committee, particu
larly their resolution not to consider any propo
sitlon In relation 10 any particular candidate fo
the next Presidency, without one months no
tice, and that no such resolution should be con
sidered as being adopted, without vote of two
thirds Of the members. But you may not hay,
perceived the design of this movement. Thi
may be inferred from an event that followed
namely, that all the Van Buren, members of the
committee withdrew!
In the mean tine, new ally of Mr.. Calhoun
as is supposed is about 10 take the field The
veteran Major Noah has given notice of his in
tention topnbsh weekly newspaper, which is
TO be independent in politics" The Major is
very sure that what he deems valuable services
to the Administration have not been requiled by
an appointment 10 Consantinople. 1t was g-
ven out that he intended formally to withdraw
Mr.. Tyler's name from the list of candidates
for the Presidency, on the ground that, having
been one among those who first formally nomi-
mated Mr.. Tyler, he has right TO retire him
from the contest. The Committee of Military
Hall, that was dissolved some time since, was
to be re- assembled TO sanction the withdrawal
But this part of the play has failed.
Equally, if not more furious, is the Major
against Mr.. Spencer, 10 whose advice he atrri-
butes the failure Of his. application for office.
He has proclaimed in the streets that Mr.. Spen-
Ger is 10 be the special object Of his assault and
some curiosity is felt to see the dexteri,y with
which the Major will now denounce the man
that, for more than six months, and within the
past year, he was constantly upholding, in the CO.
lumns OF the Union, as sound Republican and
able public officer. The Major whets this curl
osity by occasional publications, that he gets
inserted in the Federal papers, and in the PIE
beian. DESTROYS of selling his paper he would
excite expectation of its contents being ra-
cy. In one of his articles ia the Pie
beian, he charges Mr.. Spencer with being main
ly instrumental in producing the Democratic
tendencies of the Administration, with the view,
as the Major says, of corruping the friends of
Mr. Van Buren,, and bringing them to the sup
port of Mr.. Tyler. And for this, he says Mr..
Spencer ought not 10 remain in the Cabinet =
Indeed, the valiant Major declares it to be his
object to drive Mr.. Spencer from the Office he
holds, saying that the President never can con.
ciliate the Democracy SO long as he retains the
man, whose offence consists in advising and
sanctioning the removal of Clay-Whigs and the
appointment of Democrats The poor Major
is getting old and forgetful-and among other
things, torgets that the People remember his
strange metamorphoscs, and the various polili
cal hues he has assumed his participation
with Col. Webb in 'the fair business transac-
ton" with the Bank of the United States,
when So ,000 and odd dollars were loaned to the
two, and their paper suddenly wheeled about
from the most bitter hostility to the Bank. to its
most ardent support
Some, however, are so unchartable as to
suppose that the whole man9uvre is mere
fetch to intimidate the Administration, and
coerce an appointment. 1t may be so, and in
the event of failure, which | suppose, unde
such circumstances, not impossible, then, tc
crafty his revenge and spleen, through the
agency of types and printing ink. He would
delight in an opportunity 10 indulge his ole
grudge against Mr.. Spencer, growing out of the
latter's support of the Erie Canal and Mr.
Clinton, as identified with it, which, with all
his friends, the Major always opposed.
know not how far you may feel interested in
these matters. But, as they furnish the topics
of conversation among politicians in this very
exciteable community, have thought it best to
let you know what is SAID.
BY the by, what is the meaning of the stimuli

1t looks very much like concert. Mr. Spencer
seems, for long time, to have occupied the
place of the President in the anupathies Of these

his turn again in due time.
Y ou will perceive a declension in the price al
which the new loan has been sold by the bro
kers. The truth is, that the sales at 105 were
altogether too high, although they were very
small amounts and the stock is now reaching
its true level--about 102 to 103. Money con
tinues very plenty, and the Banks are at los
how to make profitable use of what they hav,
on hand. Exchange on London, at short sight
is now up 10 1.2, which is sti | per cent
below par. This exchange is one of the mos
