le,ter. that he is in favor Of annexation, Thel
bare majority in Congress can be got Tor H.
and that il he is elected President annexa
ton will forthwith come, whereas with Mr.
Clay, there is no prospect for 1t.
The Loco Foco part of the Ohio Delega
ron in Congress come out in card, and ac'
knowledsing the powerful, and as they think
alarming effort made TO dispose Of Mr.. Van
Buren,, throw themselves into the arena in his
behalf, aud for him. pledge their constituency
in Ohio.
The Globe denounces Congressional Cau-

Mr.. TYLER and accuses them Of unDecessa-
rilv nntting Texas at The mercy Of one-third

Editorial Correspondence of the N. Y. Amer.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday O'Clock.
The Senate has been occupied thus far
with the third reading Of bills-among them
the bill appropriatingSl0 90, 600 for the further
extension of the Cumberland Road. and that
respecting the pay in the Navy.
The Tariff is up in the House. Mr.. Dun.
can finished his talk, and was succeeded by
Mr.. Hardin of Illinois-who talked hard
straight forward sense in favor Of Protection.
As time is short, there is prodigious anxiety
to get in speech, but the Speaker has, or
seems 10 have the knack Of seeing only those
whom he wants to see, and hence he has just
given the floor to Mr.. Rhett of 5. Carolina,
who is talking away about the Confederacy
l. L al
States and endeavoring to prove that by
reason of the Tariff the manufacturing States
are enabled to stand in relation TO the South
ern States as the government Of Great Brit
ain formerly did to the Colonies.
The Senate are expected TO discuss to-day
in secret session the expediency of throwing
open the doors while the Texas treaty is un-
der consideration. | hope they may for the
country have had secresy enough already on
this subject, and it is all important that the
whole country should know the whole truth.
There are some more delightful disclosures
to-day in the Globe of the harmony of the
party. All the delegation from Indiana, all
the delegation from Mississippi, and Mr..
Saunders of North Carolina, give in their
testimony against Mr.. Van Buren, as the can
didate of the party. Cass, Stewart, B uchan-
an and Dick Johnson. are all now talked of.
Confusion worse coniounded prevails among
-theDemocracy, and upon the whole theWhigs
feel pretty well.
MIR. Clay is still here-but will depart quiz
city homeward in few days. He is in fine
health aud spirits. The accounts that come
back here from the various points to which
the Baltimore nominations had reached. a
bundantly confirm the wisdom of the selec-
l. I
enthusiasm of the good in its favor, such as
political nominations rarely bring out.
Mr.. Tyler expresses to all who will hear
him, understand, his confidence OF being
nominated by the Baltimore Convention -
He is past redemption, deranged.
MoTE DEFEcTIoN.-Mr Saunders, NJ.
c, Of Y. Carolina, publishes in The Globe
letter explaining his reasons for moving
against Mr. Van Buren,. lie thus closes
his episllc:
Il now state, as tho result of my con-
ference, as matters Mt present stand, that
in twenty ore States. in which the demo-
cratic party claim Is having any reasona-
be prospect of success. a majority of the
democratic delegations representing those
States will say, that with Mr. Van Buren,
rs the Presidential candidate, HE cannot
carry more than SEVEN that with a
fresh candidate Of sound democratic prin.
ciples we should have an equal, and even
better chance than our opponents, in car.
rying the other FOURTEEN States. If
what have thus stated and done be treas
on TO the people, then am a traitor. But
take the occasion 10 say TO those who
arc prating so Extensively about traitors,
that in the mailer now agitating the pub
Ec ArnoIds may be found IN the field and
it will not be difficult in deciding who
they are. X. NJ. SAUNDERS.
