We despatched you last night particular report
of the O'Suvan meeting at the Apollo Hail. and of
its proceedings The committee appointed as the
central committee of thirteen, with working
man at the TAIL as they have the sculion at the tail
of avolunteer company, met, or portion OF them,
at Mr. Cave Johnson's Room, at the General Post
Office, to-day Mr.. O'Sulvan, (whO, we believe, is
actuated by selfish or ulterior motive In coming
on from New York, to superintend this business OF
big bronze equestrian statue In the federal city to
Jackson) was present with another lot Of papers
cut and dried, in the form OF an address
to the people, soliciting donations to the
bronze horse and his bronze chieftain: Gen.
Van Ness was stultlhed at this uncalled tor
officiousness OF Mr.. O'Sulivan He thought the
committee could get along very well without him
and as tor his Che General's) part he didn't exactly
approve anyhow, Of the excessive interest taken by
MIR. O'Sullivan IN the matter The committee not
having quorum present, adjourned to meet again
on Thursday next Mr.. O'Sullivan came within an
ace of exploding the whole affair to-day His frank
disclosure last night, OF having been the prime
yer in this project created no little eaousy among
the unnitated. We object to the whole organiza-
ton OF the meeting, and of the committee Of thir-
teen and many Locofocos will be found, who, as
American citizens, will refuse to contribute to the
erection of party monument to Jackson, as it his
name could only be perpetuated by party. II Is a
decided sur upon the fame Of the Old Hero
new candidate is mentioned for the vacant
Judgeship of this city, in the person OF Hon. Amos
Kendall Not unlikely that the President will ia
vorably turn over the suggestion. volunteer cor
respondent of the Herald has mentioned in connec-
ton with this office, Mr. Sullivan OF Missouri.
The writer evidently designed to quiz the young
man, who would be entirely satisfied with thou
sand dollar clerkship. and who is abundantly COM
petent to fill one. To set the young man right,
however we tell himhe has been quizzed.
writer for the Charleston Mercury from this
city, assumes that the Administration is seeking to
create extravagant expenditures IN the burlesque
of war with Mexico, as ground upon which to
skulk the freeraders BY arguing from these extra
ordinary demands upon the Treasury, the necessity
of the stringent revenue lmpositions OF 1872 The
idea however plausible upon the surface, appears to
us to be perfectly absurd The whole conduct OF
the Administration IN the matter OF our relations
with Mexico, has been consistent with economy
as could have been expected from a man unused to
war, except In the PEACEFUL command OF militia
regiment, once year The conclusion, however,
of the writer is correct The Tariff will not be
\ disturbed The President, In his message, consi-
derate for the safety of Father Rltche, will walk all

might hazard their votes for the organ He will be
explicit upon the Tariff. as Mr. Van Buren, In his
late letter upon the merits OF the DOrr lnsurrec-
ton. He will expatate upon the general oppres-
sveness of the Black Tariff but leave the modlfica-
ton required to the wisdom OF Congress and the
Secretary OF the Treasury, venturlng, perhaps, to
recommend, specifically, some reduction on salt
Now mark these forewarnlngs-bear them IN
mind when the Presidents message shall be ush-
cred to the people. Colonel Benton IS as good as
Pennsylvania upon the taritf-good as c. J. Inger-
soil. He is the great hon OF the party In the
Northwest and the dread of the tree-traders OF the
Southeast His object, we think, the sequel will
show is not his own promotion to the Presidency.
but the final prostration of John G. Calhoun. The
Calhoun men have stood in Col Benton's way upon
the Oregon question and In the precipitation OF an
nexation they have cut oil, pTosPectvely the over
land trade from St. Louis to Chihuahua and Santa
Fe. The receipts OF hard money Ohe political hob
by OF Old Bullion,) by the Missourlans from this
trade are suspended their richest commerce is
turned into another channel by annexation, and the
consequent troubles with Mexico. Emigration is
diverted from Missouri to Texas. These are the
evils which Old Bullion foresaw must accrue to
the secret of his renewed hostility to John G. Cal
houn. Besides, Calhoun has personally stood in
the way OF Benton, who couldn't brook the idea Of
any other leader of the party In the Senate than
himself. Taking, then together, the incidental CO.
operation of Colonel Benton and his allies, with the
Pennsylvanians and the wings upon the tariff, there
will be an array OF strength, and talent, and ma
nagement in its support, which not all the efforts OF
Mr. Walker, Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.. Rhett, and the
southeast can overthrow. And in this combination
against reduction of the mpositions of 1912, we
have left out the Barn.burners OF York State, the
hemp growers of Kentucky, and the sugar planters
of Louisiana. The tariff will not be disturbed.
OF course, Colonel Benton will use whatever OF
influence he may have in Virginia. for the election
of Governor McDowellto the United States Senate,
the Governor being near relative of the Colonel.
Aside from this, we cannot forsee any dvantage to
Colonel Benton from this movement.
The United States Journal has opened the war in
earnest against Father Ritchie and Major Heiss, on
the question of the House printing. All the. ele-
ments of the Union, OF the Administration, and the
disunon of the party seem to be inexplcably inter-
mixed up in this question of the printing. We fear
dreadful time at the next session Of Congress, from
the very outset.
Mr. Walker is Withdrawing the Treasury funds
from the Wooster Bank, in Ohio. The visit OF
Judge Tappan to this city, is supposed to be upon
the explanation of the impolcy of encouraging this
Bank organ of the Shannon Tyler Bank clique OF
the Ohio democracy-a Clique which appears give
the party more trouble than the whole whig opposi-
tion, formidable talented, wealthy and powerful as
it 49, We hope the Ohio Statesman will fight itself
successfully out OF the suspicion OF being In collu-
sion with the aforesaid clique.
