TIE WAY CALHOUN FIRES.

The Correspondent ofthe Atlas writing from Wash
ton says:
There is very current rumor in the city, that Mr..
Calhoun has written letter to Mr. Rhett, of South
Carolina, in which he complains of the want Of nerve
ofhis friends in the IIousespeaks in terms Of great
severity and harshness ofthe course Of Van Buren,
md his friends towards him, and withdraws from the
e,-bnt at the same time, whhDlds his influence
om Mr. Van Buren,, and stands back in solitary
grandeur. This rumor is entitled TO additional ced-
it, from the course which the Calhoun papers ia
ming in Alabama and South Carolina, A cOrrespon-
dent Of the Huntsville Southern Advocate in refer
ing 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 breach between these two branches of the
"Sons Of harmony" is rapidly widening, and if the
rumor is true has at last assumed ad aspect Of some
Importance

Loco Foco ADMIssIoN.--The Harrisburg Argus,
leading Loco Foco paper in Pennsy |vanin, mikes
the following candid admission, as 10 the prospect OF
the next Presidential contest.
Mr. Clay can certainly carry the following States
against Mr. Van buren, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, North
Carolina, Gcorga, Louisiana, Tennessee, K'nincky
Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan This will give the
Wing candidate one hundred and thirty two votes.
Add TO this number the vote Of Pennsy lvann, which is
rwenly.sm, and Clay has twenty more than are requr-
ed to elect him President
"Pennsy vuna is just certain for Mr. Clay, with
Mr. Van Buren, us our cand idatc, as Kentucky. THE
pariy cannot be raiIied for Mr. Fan Buren,. We
do not express this opinion IN condemnation of MIR
Van Buren, or orhis administration. We odmired aud
supported both the and his acts. But il is worse
than madness TO attempt to disguise the fact, that
Pennsylvania will be Wing State next fall, if Mr.
Van Buren, is the Democratic candidate"
