APPEAR TO FOLLOW Out on the pan tney

THE "BAReAIN."-A Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Patriot makes
the following charge, which he ventures TO
predict will not be denied:
That Mr.. Walker did know OF correspon
dence that took place during the Presidential
campaign last year, between Mr.. Francis o. J..
Smith, in relation to the support which the Con.
servatves such as Messrs. Tallmadg e, Smith,
Graham, Sutherland, &C., would give Polk and
Dallas, and the course which Mr.. Polk would
pursue, If elected President, toward the Conserv
atves-that Mr.. Tallmadge and Mr.. Walker
examined and agreed in the propriey of Mr..
Smiths letter TO Mr.. Polk-and the letter was
sent under Mr.. TaIImadge's frank-that Mr..
Walker told Tallmadge that he would write TO
Polk on the subject aud urge him to comply with
the requirements OF Smiths letter-that he after.
wards informed Talmadge that he had written
that Polk replied to Smiths letter in a manner
that gave dissatisfaction 10 Smith and Tallmadge
that Polk knew that Tallmadge was interested
in Smiths letter, and that the letter was written
oS much to meet the case Of Tailmadee as that Of
any other mainland yet, Notwithstanding the as
surances he gave to Smith when he was Mr..
Candidate Polk, in order to get the support Of
the Conservatives, he had hardly become Mr..
President Polk, by the efficient aid Of the Con.
servatives, before he hurried Messrs. Talmadge,
Sutherland and Graham from office, with an alac-
rty which would not have been more astounding
had he been pledged to make them pcalk the plank
rather than to protect them!
The same correspondent, under later
date, writes as follows:-
am told by some intelligent Locofocos, who
know Of much that the Administration is doing,
that the editorial article in the official organ OF
last evening, headed. "van words, and in reply
TO string Of complaints, made through the Phil.
AIDE phia Sentinel, Of the conduct OF the Admin.
straton, was written by President Polk himself
1t certainly bears his flesh marks, is drawn up 10
bis style, and reads like all his newspaper pro,
auctions. But what is more important, it shows
how worried he is in mind at the thick coming
and never ending complaints Of his sinister,
partial, and ungrate(ul course, which salute his
understanding from the four quarters OF the
Unon
You still perceive that the organ has not
denied the existence Of the Smith and Polk cor.
respondence, or Mr.. Walkers participation in
the matter! That correspondence when published
will show that James X. Polk who has so vehe,
mently, and with the most fervent horror, de.
nounced what he denominated "a bargain and
sale" between John Quincy Adams and Henry
Clay, entered himself into regular "bargain
and sale" business, with class OF politicians
and voters, not belonging to his own party
proper, for the purpose Of securing his election
10 the PGesidency and further, that after recev
ing overtures, and complying, in black and
white. with the requirements proposed 10 him,
and then receiving the benefits that were to &C.
crue to him from said bargain, he coolly turned
his back upon and cheated outright those with
whom he had made it! He served them es bad
as the white man did the Indian with whom he
had been cunning, and shot turkey and crow
who said, when division OF the ''spoils'' was tc
take place, "now you take the crow and III
take the turkey, or III take the turkey and you
may take the crow!"
have seen and conversed with the gentleman
who, last year, while holding government
office Of some worth, visited Mr.. Polk in Ten
nessee, and received pledges from him as 10 the
course he would pursue, ii elected President,
towards The democratic" friends Of Mr.. Tyler
which, says the gentleman alluded to, have mol
yet been fulfilled by long shot. He thinks that
he has been deceived and badly treated, and
talks OF communicating to the public. under his
own signature, some OF the information which
he possesses Of the manner in which Mr.. Polk
was elected President, and Of his conduct since
he has been in the Presidential chair! If dc
not greatly err in my judgment, his disclosures
will be very rich.
Mr.. Tallmadge is now in this city. Canno,
the organ say whether the charge OF bargain
alleged TO have been made by Mr.. Polk with thu
conservatives" to promote bis election 10 the
Presidency, is true or false, and authorize The
Hon. Flancis 0. J. Smith or the Hon. N. P
Ta!lmadge 10 publish that correspondence?
Judge Woodward, Of Pennsy lvania, has beer
here, ne who was beaten by Gen. Cameron 70,
the United States Senate and informs that Mr.
Buchanan went 10 Pennsylvania TO ask his
friends which he had better do: take The Judge
ship at once, or remain q while longer ia the
State Department, or come back TO the Senate
in case Gen. Cameron will resign in his favor;
and that he has finally decided by their aid tc
take the judgeship.
Before the departure OF Mr.. Buchanan and
Mr.. Bancroft, Cabinet meeting was held on
The subject Of The tariff The editor of the organ
WAS present, and, according TO his own account
acted an independent and patriotic part. | honor
him for it. He says (not to me, but to some o
his good Loco(oco friends who informed me Of
the facD that on the occasion, after many pro!
and cons all round, he stepped up 10 the Pres
dent and said: Mr.. Polk, upon this subject | am
fat footed! go for bringing the tariff down &c
The revenue standard!
Il was decided that the tariff should be brough
down, and The cabinet broke up as harmoniously
as could be expected.
