Ihe Prssdent's Msssa9s-Rsd4ctiom Of PoaaQs--

JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ.,
DEAR SIR arrived here in the most perfect
safety, and have had time merely to make an ex-
ternal observation OF men, manners, and move
ments, but the crust must always be broken before
the snbstance and marrow Is reached. President
Tyler 10 moaf busiy engaged in the revising and
completion OF his message. His original measures
OF the occupation OF Oregon, and the re.annexa-
tlon OF Texas, will be rgdiy and forcibly adhered
%, and areform and reduction the present rates
o! postage will be recommended. These meas
ures, or their advocacy you can rely upon.--
The President will assume the adoption of these
measures, az forced upon him by the will OF the
people at the recent election, and will therefore
urge their advocacy. He conceives thar the voice
OF New York city, as expressed through the Cham
ber OF Commerce, the New York Herald" and
the people at the polls, demands unqnaii6edy, re-
ducuon OF postage, an d the only reason of delay
will be attributed to the deplorabe condition Of the
department al the time OF the assumption by the
present Postmaster General. The recomme ndation
OF ths measure, producing, as 1t wiz, approprla-
tioh from the Treasury tor the support Of the depart
meni tor short period, will counteract certain
notifications In the present tariff that otherwise
might be recommended. President Tyler appears
confirmed in the position that the government shall
support itself, and although opposed to many of the
provisions OF the present tariff, he will not recon-
mend any radical change. He is in most excel
lent health and spirits, and his amiable and accom-
pi,shed lady appears as gay, cheerful and happy as
when she was a Miss al her fathers manson.
But few members have arrived AmeDg them
are some OF the far South, and the far West. The
spot, awake, alive, and ready for business. He is
aa afiable, intelligent, of hand, first rate fellow
one whom You know IN a minute as well az
week.
The movements in New York among the old
Van Buren clique are watched with much anxiety.
President Tyler says he cares nought-his course
IS marked-he asks no favors, expects none-and
will do his duty-but such is not the case with Jas.
K. Polk or George M. Dallas. The struggle to OBJ
tain possession Of their favor, influence and power,
has long since commenced; and nothing has more
and desperate advocates Of Mr.. Van Buren's nom-
nation than the conclusions SO forcibly drawn by
yourself from the text Of the article in the
News" OF your city as laudatory Of Andrew
Jackson Failing to secure James K. Polk by
those pioneer decoy ducks in the shape Of
confidential letters" dated at Tammapy Hall,
ayerring that " done this" and eve accomplish
ed that" the next move was to secure George M
Dallas. This was attempted by more ways than
one, and would have been successful, had not his
previous knowledge Of the men. and his few last
radical friends in Philadelphia, warned him Of the
danger from such alliance. On this question the
secret letter writing, mole like operators of the De-
mocratic party OF your city, may as well save their
ink, their paper and their time. That portion ot
the party that ruled and forced upon Mr.. Van Bu-
rem the appointments for New York, city cannot
rule and force "Polk and Dallas" That's settled
more anon.
Your prophetic knowledge relative to Cole
mans Hotel" will be more than realized-it hai
been regenerated from the roof to the coal cellar
It was always the most capacious house in this city
and 1t now in every sense, the most comfortable
Every article within its immense dimensions is
new, entirely new, fresh, sweet, clean and COM
ngton has not been able 10 afford before, mere.
y say, tell your hack driver porter to take YOU
10 Coleman's.
