JAS G. BENNETT, ESQ.,
In the absence of your regular correspondent
from the federal metropolis, shall venture, though
little in arrear of. your post haste despatch and
fidelity, Of giving you comment or two upon
matters and things at Washington. Coleridge, you
know, who is considered at least equal in rank
with Natty Willis and Professor Longfellow in the
science of poetry, fatty declares that
IAN thoughts, all passions, all delights
Are all but ministers to love
And feed the sacred fame"
From which predicates we draw the following
deductions:-
LIST That all the 'thoughts'' Of President Tyler
for twelve months past, IN regard OF reelection:
2nd That all his passions with refractory
olfice-hoIders and office-seekers:
3rd That all his delights" from the anticipated
immediate annexation of Texas,
Alb And that "whatever has stirred his mortal
frame" in prospect Of the triumph of the Tyler
.Aarty, by luck or by legerdemain, have all been
The ministers to his sacred flame" tor the beau
summated so sgnslly and triumphant-ly:-
LIST. A treaty of remuneration.
End A perpetual treaty OF friendship, amity, and
commerce.
3rd. The election for second term to conugal
felicity .
4th. An example worthy Of imitation by all old
bachelors and widowers whatsoever.
5h The acquisition of prime minister indis-
pensable to the chief functonary OF republican
people ~
fail to meet the appreciation OF the golden chop
stick of his unprecedented majesty OF the Celestial
Empire.
Ga Saturday last, the Executive and bride were
at home. At one O'Clock, Martin X annohan ac-
oil hIa offs a p
liptical Saloon" and announced the. visitors as
they were ushered in to tender their JOY, their
wishes,and their congratulations Inc centre table
was ornamented as follows:
1st. A rich cake in the centre OF fifty pounds OF
fruit from the four quarters Of the globe, including
Texas, inexplicably mixed up and coated with
ornamsnted with flowers, loves and. doves, and
encrcled at the base with wreath OF roses OF the
two houses of York and Lancaster.
IDLY Madeira, champaign, sherry, and lemon
ade lnterspersed with vases OF flowers culled from
the public gardens, and arranged under the perso-
nal supervision of Jimmy Maher, q 'epaer and
dimocrat, yet opposed to Daniel o'Connell, and in
3dly. On the outer circumference, a variety Of
cakes, oranges, &c.
Heads of departments, subs and expectants,
members Of the corps dlplomatlque, civil, naval
ry leavening of the sovereign people, made up the
composition of the throng of incomers and outgo-
ers, from one to three o'clock, during which time
ed, the sweetmeats and confects annihilated, and
the President and his lady overwhel lined by the &C
cumuated suffrages of thousand people. The
Presidents face was illuminated with triumph,
gratitude and qualification The bride appeared as
beautiful and refreshing to the eye as
" Meek Aurora, daughter of the dawn"
When first she unveils, in the light Of the summers
morning, the majestic proportions OF ST. Anthony's
nose. Mrs ex-President Madison, in full oriental
costume, turban Ia Stambool, was conspicuousy
the favsrite among the ladies' The Secretary OF
State, on the other hand, deported himself with
the chivalrlc gaantry OF true bred Carolinlan.-
The author OF Ahasuerus, and the private secreta-
ny were not forthcoming, having LETT as we are in.
formed, in the morning for the family homestead
the celebration of the second quarter of the honey
MOON
At sunset there was music in the Presidents
Park by the Marine Band.
The city is dull as Quaker sermon. No news.
The July and August elections are to decide the
Polkish, Congress, it is said, will be convened to
divert the Texas thunder to the original inventor,
who has no notion OF being robbed OF his patent.
Mr.. Calhoun is bent upon Southern C0nfede-
racy. He is using Mr.. Tyler to that end, else why
should the Presidents overtures have succeeded
with him, when they were rejected by Wright,
Buchanan, Woodbury., Allen and others. The
idea of Southern Confederacy with Mr.. Calhoun
is no empty abstraction. 1t is full grown vam-
pyre and ready at the first dark hour 10 come out
into the open air, with its harsh internal kissing Of
Observation-Disclosures.
Let it be mentioned T." ~ "red. ct R,,ner, OF
N. c., and Hammeu, Of Mim., & the II use OF
Representatives, that they alc u .ne very few ex
ceptions who refused pay for absenteeism, deduct
ing a material item from their aggregate per diem
allowance, and declining its acceptance. More
anon, if to your liking. Bon.
