WASHINGTON, July2 ls45.
Insight into Everything.
II is most amusing TO "Lookeron here In VI
rona," to listen TO the contentious among the har-
monious members of the great democratic family
They quarreling among themselves like cats and
dogs. Sit down with faithful State Rights, Null-
fcation, or Calhoun man, and his Jeremiad upon
the ingratitude of the administration, will almost
break your heart Van Buren, and Wright he will
say, "rule the roas'-their word is law and gospel
to Captain Polk-he considers the mantle OF General
Jackson TO have fallen upon their shoulders and
their opposition TO the annexation OF Texas is a
sweet morsel under his tongue, which he dare not
chew In the presence OF man OF the South
Since his election OF Calhoun from the State De-
partment, he has pursued the prescription Of Cal
houn men, with rancor only equalled by his lgno-
BILE vengeance against the Tylerites, or "young de-
mocracy" The Calhoun decaptations in The New
York and Boston Custom Houses, are proof OF the
perhdy OF the little man OF Tennessee.
Mr.. Van Buren and Mr.. Wright have been treated
like children The appointment OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury was piece OF thmbie-rigging most
contemptible-only equalled by the appointment of
Marcy to the War Department. II was undoubted-
ly made to neuralize the weight and influence OF
the New York democracy while there was kept up
show OF doing her Justice In no way-not even
had Polk appointed old Major Noah to the War
Office, could he have SO effectively Inundated the
sefrespect of the body of the New York democracy,
as by the selection OF Marcy. Who is Secretary
Marcy An Ola uelunct llnSe y-WOOlSeV POLITICIAN
dead for the last eight years, mainly on account of
his opposition to the ubTreasury, which he has
never apologized for or retracted Father Rltchle
has. And, who is the euoglst OF this appointment
Old Major Noah and yet such is the narrow soul of
the Secretary OF War, that he has not the beggarly
charity OF bestowlng upon the Major an odd pair of
old breeches for the grateful puff. There have only
been two appointments made on the Recommended
uon OF Mr.. Wright and Mr. Van Buren-iIoffman,
naval surveyor, and Bacon, to the pitu consulship
AT Turks Island And neither Wright nor Van Bu-
rem have written TO Polk since The shuffling of
Mr.. Folk with the regular recommendation of Cod
dngton Tor Collector, and the appointment of
Lawrence, after having promised Mr. Wright that
Coddlngton should be the man-has closed all COM
munlcation between the heads Of the party IN New
York, and the head OF the administration at Wash
lngton And had II not been for Slamm and Rell,
the old White Horse, who and is an incubus
upon the party, would have been al this moment our
Collector, under the full dictation in the choice of
his subordnates Of that sly and wry little nulifer,
Bob Walker. But Slsnm and Riell actually scared
MIR. Polk out OF tins appointment. They presented
the case IN such an odi0us hight, that he could not
overcome their objections. But Riell is done over
for that very acf-f Walker can arrest the smallest
favor to HIM II will be done-Slamm has Jared but
little better
:, And look again at the appointment of Gorham
Parks to Rio, crooked stick, sort of half-and-
half Calhoun and Tyler man, appointed on the sim
gle consideration Of getting him out of the way-re-
warding men, by the gods, TO get rid of them-men
no more tit TO hold Office than Major Noah is to ad-
minister the seven sacraments. The fact is, the
halt whlg and half Tyler, Cass and his faction. and
the Virginia abstractionists of '9s and $50, or any
other member, have an uncontrolled influence with
Bob Walker, who is de facto, the director of every
movement OF the administration. Walker is aiming
Tor the Presidency, and he is now conducting the
patronage OF the government to his own purposes
Colonel Polk disposed to do right but he has no
nerve-no self-reliance-but is always embarrassed
and never decided IN his movements. His admin
istraton is John Tyler over again. and to make the
matter Short If Mr.. Richie, under this state of
things, expects the votes of the old democracy for
the printing of the lower house at the next session.
ne VIII fall short IN the sequel of his calculations
most amazingly.
Thus you will see that there are two points in the
complaint of each Of these ciigues, that harmonic.
and only two, owit that Secretary Marcy is no
great snakes OF statesman, and that Father Rtchie
is actually IN danger OF losing the printing of the
lower house, the promise of which was the single
lnducement OF his acceptance of the editorship of
the organ 1t is plain that Captain Polk is pursuing
aConservative course-a course rightly understood
designed and calculated to the concilaton of all
chques. Yet their mutual jealousies will give him
Infinite trouble from this time the re-assembling
OF Congress, when his troubles upon the Tariff
question, and the conflict between Walker and Bu-
chanan on this subject, will absorb all other difficult
ties tor season. Between the cotton of Mississippi
and the iron OF Pennsylvania, there will be a most
interesting squabble in the family.
We shall, one OF these days, begin with the Baltl-
more Convention, and tracing down the movements
behind the scenes show cause why Saunders should
90 to Spain, and expects TO go; why Hendricks 3.
Wright should have the control of the mint at Pha-
delphla, and expected it, and why Robert j. Walker
is IN the Treasury and how he expects TO be trans
terred to the Presidency.
Between Senor Atocha, and Ben. T.. Green there
IS quite litigation going through the columns of
the U $. Jonnat, regarding ''those instaments'
due from Mexico in April and July, 1914 Mr..
Shannon has not yet reported; but will doubtless
make the matter straight as far as he can The
