WASHINGTON, April l, lS45
The axe seems to have been stayed for while
tor there have not, as yet, been any more removal
reported. The "ins' are all shaking in their shoe
at the apprehensions which have been excited BY
the report, ndustriousIy spread, that clean SWEEP
was TO hs made of the wings, and as this is the
first OF ~ month, great number Of them expected
their ssAwcedeas. The apprehension felt is also
much more general on account of the uncertainty
which prevails, and the hop, skip and jump sort OF
manner. from one TO another, in which the decapi-
tating work proceeds. Their turn, however, will
come some time, and they may make themselves
easy until it does.
The friends of Mr.. Calhoun express great dssa-
tisacton at the action of the administration. They
are much disappointed in the appointments, which
they characterize as complete restoraton; be-
sides which, in two instances the friends Of
Mr.. Calhoun Gas Mr., Williams, at Boston, for in
stance,) have been removed TO make way for Van
Buren, men, and the Calhoun men threaten that if
this be persisted In, the administration must cacu.

Gle. They instance the appointments at Boston
Morton, Mcneil, Wright, and Parmenter-a Van
Buren, men; OF New York-Purdy, Wetmore,
Sutier, and Prentlss; and when he was rejected
Gould, who Is even more Van Burelish than Prem
tlss. Then they instance, too, Mr.. Shields, of
Alabama, appointed Charge TO Venezuela, whose
great recommendation was, that as delegate to
the Btltlmore Convention, he voted every time for
Mr.. Vaa Buren,, against the known wishes of his
party In ms State, and the unanimous vote Of all
ms fellow delegates; and who was not recommends
ed IRON ms own State for Office; but having OBJ
tanned Silas Wrght's endorsement, was immed-
ately nominated These are only few of the IN
Stances they name, as they say. that with the ex-
cepton OF Seth Barton and Mr.. Rantoul, all the
appointees are restorations of the Van Buren
Clique. The question they are now considering is,
:" How long are we TO submit to this 70 They de-
clare their patience will be soon exhausted, and
Mr., Polk will then find out that the young demo-
oracle did not elect him to re- instate theVan Buren,
clique which caused the feat of the party in l8l0

Baltimore last year All the prospects are that the
feuds and disaftection in the party will soon be
brought to head, and then there will be regular
explosion.
