Arrangements are being made by the leaoing
friends Of Polk and Tyler for uniting the "Masi-
sonan" and "Spectator," under name,

this object into effect The editor of the "Madi-
sonan," on resgning his editorial chair. will be
sent as Charge to Europe. HIS commission would
be made at once, but for Cong ess having, al lis
last session, cut off all compe nsation from those
nominated To foreign missions during It's recess,
whom the Senate might think necessary 10 reject
afterwards. The " Globe"-the great Globe Ilself
will be dissolved, and It's editors-h beauty and

square To confer on them the JOINT honor OF Mayor
Of " Jackson Cliy," situated at the south end of
the Potomac bridge? No TWO men were more &C.

Johnson, in the eve mt OF the defeat Of Mr. Van
Buren -have LETT a canker behind them which, II
| am not much mistaken Ia the signs that surround
me, is sworking lis way silently, yet surely, into
the viials OF the democratic party, and which may
yet, snort as the time Is between this and the
election, produce consequences little dreamt of
now. Mr. Polk, tits true, is under no special obi
gation to pursue any particular line 0f conduct tor
the purpose of promoting the elevation oil any par
iculer individual to ihe line of safe precedenls--
unless, indeed, the terms OF contract between the
ma .har trsna and NJ N.n

halt OF Silas Wright. Wright, II elected Cover
ior OF New York, may be called 10 the cabinet
when Polk - elected, as Mr. Van Buren, when
Jackson was President, and by thus fortiiyIng
his position by means Of tie patronage OF govern

already been taken, since Wiights dppdrsnly

Many OF his friends have been surprised that Duff
Green should have been sent bearer Of despatch

Secretary OF State has been haunted by the at,en-
uated spectre OF the old Washington Telegraph,
tor share ol the spoils since he into office,
II is not IN any way wonderful. Duff, while beTe,
was cons, ,anty fishing after State secret, which
his unrestrained access 10 the Secretary OF State
gave him many chances of learning, and, as he is
supposed to be rather leaky, his absence IRON
Washington is looked upon as better than his pre-

there Tor the Chevalier Wikof! Birds of a fealh-
