Correspondence of the New York Herald
WASHINGTON, Friday, Dec. II
Highly Important Neps-No JVn-Paci6c Feel
ings Of John Buli-Mr. Pakenham's Nero Nego-
fiations- Purchase Of California ,-Changs in the
Nep York Custom Hona.
wish you would tell brokers in stocks, and hum
Burgers OF every description, who get their living
by cheating sucking children of the dollars their
fathers leave them, that we shall have no war with
Great Britain-Mr. Packenham has again opened
negotiations with Mr.. Buchanan.
The uiti,natum Of the Secretary, which appeared
in the Message, had been made to Great Britain in
August. 1t was immediately transmitted to London,
and, before the Message appeared, Instructions
came back to Mr.. Pakenham to open negotiations
once more
The old game of John Bull-bully first, negotiate
next and then fight or crlnge What his new song
ls can't say but II is absolutely certain that there
is 1.-THE slightest prospect OF any rupture with
Great Britain. II would be worse than putting the
halter to her own neck tor England to talk even
about fighting America when some millions OF her
own people are growing wild under the apprehen-
sion of famine
monopolsts are, perhaps, the boldest and clearest
proofs OF the deep fraud OF all the banking establish
ments OF Wall street that have been developed for
some time. For many years the Herald had sound
in to that den Of thieves, Wall street, and the coun-
try has at last discovered that il had some better
motive in view than merely making to itself enc
mics. Ii is reduced to certainty that the wings
are determined tc risk all upon monled power
They will rally round local State banks in '46 they
did around Z" the mother Of them alp under the
iron reign OF Old Hickory. They have nothing left
to cling to but shin lasters. They have been
driven off from every other hold Protection is ex-
ploded in the sense that Mr. Clay has advocated it
no possibility exists of ever having a national
bank-a constitutional Treasury must and will be
established-the wheels OF government must and
will be unclaimed from all money power, and cut
adr as the banks will be of necessity, from all gov
eminent patronage-they will make common cause
with the wings, and before Mr.. Polk has finished
his administration, he will seal the fate OF monopo
lies, and all monied machines, as completely as Gen
Jackson did that of Mic Bldde and his lottery
Such are the tendencies of the times, and such is
the determination Of Col. Polk and every member
Of his Cabinet, More anon.
Negotiations opened for the purchase OF Cali
fornia and in less than sixty days it will be ours
This is all can tell you now, but you may rely on
this information. What said 30 days ago, is true
now, and will be history in few weeks-that by
bold and Hnwavering frmness in insisting upon our
claims where right is unquestionable, and by
wise and consummate diplomacy where we can
win power and territory, James K. Polk and James
Buchanan will extend the sway Of our eagle, and
plant the pillars of our Empire deep over the CONT
nent. The acquisition of California Is the most I'M
portant operation of our government since its foun-
daton. Another letter about this matter in day
or two
