Mr. CALHOUN arrived here last night and 1t is
said that he is welcomed by none more earnestly
hon bv the Administration They have got them
solves into snarl about war and they hope that Mr.,
C,IHouS will be able to keep them out of it They
.boupht they could bully England as they have bul
led poor crippled Mexico. but they find that the
game is no, easy. believe there is no more
s,renuously opposed to war than JAMES h. PoLK,
hnt his ambition for the succession in lsis has elic
tied storm which it will not be in the power OF his
panv spirit to ride and direct, hence their Joy al
the arrival of Mr.. CALHOUN, who is supposed 10
have the nerve and talents 10 ride and direct whrl
winds.
understand that there is n preconcered move
ment among the Loco Focos 10 stop the debate on
Nativism. Several of their leaders such as NASCEY,
McCoSyELI OWEN and RArHBUN, have come out
in favor of referring the matter TO Select Commit
tee They hope to get the Wings to go into this
measure, and then they will charge upon them Ma.
i've principles. | have come TO the conclusion that
the Loco Focos would like 10 Nativisn still in
existence as they acknowledge tina, il is their near
est and dearest ally. GROVER Of New-York ac-
knowledged, in the House, that JAMES X POLK was
elected by Nativism. They do not want 10 see their
best and most potent friend put down.
The war debate in the Senate was not the Off
spring of any principle. 1t was merely scrub race
for the stakes in lSis between the CAss, ALLEN
and BESToS factions. Mr. CAss had no idea of in
PRODUCING tie resolutions, till the Committees were
appointed, but certain gentleman went 10 NJ.
CAss and told him that such movement would be n
udcious one for him, out OF which 10 make capital
for ls45, and that if he did not make it, ALLEN or
BENTON would So Mr.. CASS came out with the
big gun, which the Locos supposed was going 10
blow the Wings TO pieces, while ALLEN and BEN
TON are vexed because they were forestaled. The
patriotic movement of the Wings had filled their
cup 10 overilowing with disappointment.

Gently addressed, in q confidential way 10 the Presi
dent he assured the Executive that il Mr.. Polk
wanted to take Canada the New York men would
take it by the job 1t is said also that Mr.. BAN
CROFT gave rs q toast, at some meeting not long
since "The three KS Kuba, Kaliiornia and Kama
d." The latter the Secretary of the Navy probably
intends to let out by the job, 10 the Anti-IeXas New
York Loco FocOs.
The debate on Texas in the Senate will be inter
esting when it comes up. The faults in the House
Resolutions will be pointed out and dwelt upon.and
vet / do not think that there will be more than or
Senator'S vote against the admission of the State.
Iii too late now for Abolition trcachery TO oppose
il. They could have prevented il but threw away
the opportunity which Providence afforded them.
They betrayed the cause OF humanity, and OF Their
country, and spurned the ways and means OF Provi-
dence and now they had better hold their tongues.
Their petitions are unavaing, for the prayer OF the
wicked avaeth not even with Loco Focoism.
Mr.. LESTER, who has been here for some time,
has returned 10 New-York There is movement
on foot to have him appointed Charge TO CONSTANT
nople, Mr.. CARR in the meantime TO be appointed
Collector at baltimore, in place of Gen. GRATloTT.
But as Mr. Polk has much love for N0ttr'sm
that he will not remove Gen. &. the Chargeship 10
Constan,nople NAV remain as it is.
MORTON McMIcHAEL. Esq. of Philadelphia. ar
rived here last night. and appears in excellent
health The history OF his election forms an impor-
sutchapter in the origin of Nativism by Loco Focos
in Philadelphia City and County
As soon as the debate on Nativism Is concluded
in the House ] shall have something TO say upon the
matter which l will reserve for one letter by itself
Isee some talk in the papers about the appoint
ment of Mr. HoGAY. of Utca, 10 the mission TO Rus
sa shall communicate some facts about this in
day two. think it not at all improbable that he
may get the appointment.
From facts that have come to my knowledge am
cf the opinion that Mr.. CABELL of Florida, will be
voted out Of his seat The Committee stick 10 no
principle They admit whatever testimony is most
navor OF Mr.. Brockenbrough As the evidence
which they have admitted, contrary 10 their own de
dsOn, now stand, there is majority OF y for
Bockenbrough. If Mr. Cabell gets leave 10 put in
he same kind of evidence, he can still show a ma
kity Of votes More of this in day or two.
The President gave n splendid dinner party on
Friday 10 a number of members and gentlemen Of
both parties K1oHELIEU.
