ON DITS.-We have very decided
rnmours from Washington, that an i'm
portan, letter has been received from Mr..
Calhoun, in which he declares. in sub
stance, that, as between Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. Van Buren,, there should he no hest.
tation in taking the former. We see this
rumour alluded to In several papers to the
East. The Washington Correspondent
Of the Boston Atlas, under de,e Of Janua-
ry Q, says:
"There is also a very current rumor
In the city, that MIR. Calhoun has written
a letter to Mr.. Khett. Of South Carolina,
in which he complains Of the wan, oi
nerve Of his friends in the House-speaks
in terms Of great severity and harshness
of the course Of Van Buren, and his friends
towards him, and wilhdraws from the
race; but at the same time he withholds
his influence from Van Buren,, and stands
back in solitary grandeur. This rumoi
is entitled TO additional credit from the
course which the Calhoun papers are taxi
ing in Alabama and South Carolina. A
correspondent Of the Huntsville Southern
Advocate, in referring TO the treatment
which Calhoun received at the late Loco
Foco Convention in Alabama. says that
the Palmetto has been ,rampled upon by
the Cabbage Stalks"
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Journal Of Commerce, which
is friendly to Mr.. Calhoun, writes under
date Of the 9Th inst. as follows;
"The Calhoun Manifesto against the
Van Buren, Convention has not yet ar
rived, but | learn that it is in PRINT, and
will soon be here. II has had the effect,
in anticipation, TO shake the confidence Of
the Van Buren, men in the strength Of
their position. 1t is not at all improba-
BILE that the friends of Cass and Johnson
will also keep aloof from the packed Con-
venuon."
We take the above paragraphs from
the Baltimore Patriot of Friday. The
Baltimore American Of Saturday contains
the following:
"Mr. Calhom.-A Washington cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Mercury
says, tina, Mr.. Calhoun has written a
long and powerful letter, discussing the
whole question, denouncing and renounc-
ing the Politicians Packed Caucus,
which is to assemble at Baltimore in May
next. 1t will be shortly published. A
National Convention will be called, a,
which The PEOPLE will be represented,
and third candidate nominated. That
Convention can choose from among Cal
houn, Stewart, Cass or Johnson. Its no.
minee will stand better chance of elec-
ton Than Mr.. Van Buren,. II will a,
least accomplish one thing, which is now
found to be indispensable to The welfare
Of the country, and the triumph of repub-
lican principles, to wit: the re-organiza-
ton Of the Democratic party in ls45."

The question of the confirmation or re-
lection of Mr.. Cushing's nomination by
the President as Minister to China, is
said to occasion much perplexity in the
U. S. Senate. The correspondent ofthe
