UsITEp STATES HorEL,


IN. Ros,ou Courier and its Editor, Mr. Bueking-
ham Tn, Ereheouey--.q United States Bank-Jur.
Wis, and Mr. NHmore-.ur Ciay-GorernO Nor
ton, &c. &c.
Since have been in this city, have had oPportu-
mites of holding free and urreserved communication
and conversation with many Of the leading politicians
of Massachusetts, and have availed myself OF BOTH
am not disposed to exaggcrate, much less am ! in
cned to misreprcsent; and shall risk but little in
saving that the Administration has strong and We
~ able body of friends and supporters in "the old
colony of Massachusetts, Bay"
These friends consist Of gentlemen Of worth, intel
ligence, and influence, who are weary of the ultra
course of the Wings and Democrats, and are ready
TO defend and support the Administration, so long as
it adheres to its present Republican policy and ac-
ton; and the same gentlemen stand prepared TO ad
yocate and vote for the reelection Of President ~
ler At present they are not organized but do not
doubt that they will be imboded, and will pre-
sent front that will be found irresistible. III they
do not succeed in carrying the State, they will at
least be able TO hold balance Of power, and that
will be something that neither the Wings nor Demo-
Gratis can boast of.
The attempt that was made awhile ago, by the
Clay-whgs to destroy Mr. Webster that the fortunes
of the Ashland Knight, of the order Of the Virgin
Heifer, might be perpetuated, is now having Gre
bounding effect" and has ralieda goody number of
citizens to the rescue and they will not consent that
the Secretary be annihilated to crafty the Autocra
of all the Ashlands. MIR. Webstcr's friends will
stand by him. and 1t will take something than the
gasconade and double distilled scandal Of Mr.. Henry
Clay's pimps and panders to ALLEVIATE their affections
In fact and in truth, Mr.. Henry Clay is now sob
soete idea" in Massachusetts. 1t true that he has
few sares and few sayish presses here, that make
some noise about the man but it is all moonshlne--
all
e. leather and prunela."
If the election of President were to take place
morrow MIR. Clay would be dropped by Massachu-
sets.
The Boston Courier one Of the abest and Of
the most influential presses of the day, gives to the
Administration uncommitted and independent sup
port for which the friends Of the President ought TO
be grateful 1t is edited by the celebrated Joseph T..
Buckingham, Esq, gentleman who adds to the
qualities of wag, rich and rapid writer, ell the
energy and nerve of well-tested patriot l do not
a Tyler man, for he is too independent to be any
mans man but he almost daily yields to the Admin
istration manly couutenance and support that are
entitled to the warmest comnendation.
The Boston American, recently Clay paper, has
avowed its adhesion TO the Administration through
it new editor Mr.. Hogan, and will, hope, render
good service.
The Exchequer project Of the President is still
discussed and applauded here whilst the idea Of a
U. States Bank is eloquently and justly secuted No
respectable portion Of the people of this State could
be found to advocate National Bank.
The controversy between Mr.. Wise and Mr. Fill
MORE in relation to the report Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, is highly reshed here, and the pre-
vailing opinion is, that the Chairman Of the Ways
and Means was left in most piable dilemma MIR.
Clay is unfortunate in the selection of his principal
Charlie.
Gov. Morton is destined to fnd ere long, that the
great Master of Nature was right, when he said
that
UNEASY lies the head that wears a crown"
Discussions and besrsbunings already developed
and unless he changes his course in some things he
will soon find himself in a minority. AT present, | dc
not mean to be more explicit His Excellcncy will
understand me. Shakespeare wrote a song, which
commences,
elbow, blow thou winter wind" &c.
and Gov Morton will benefit himself If he will read
it, commit it to memory, and occasionally sing it,.
There such things gratitude and ngratitudc,
Among the protested friends Of President Ty
Ter residing in Massachusetts,, and who partake Of
Executive bounty and friendship, decided faction
action" is now needed and demanded. They should
be up, awake, and doing. And, if they do not act
II they do not assist their friends ought they to ex
pect that their friends will assist them Need sa,
more Yours, &c.
