The Collector of New York-Mr. Pan Ness to be

ments IN NeV York; Vhat do they Indicate p
TIE Sub T'saswy-Mr. Richie and the Onion"
The CaAionnitss and the Fan Bp,rnites-
mr.. Richie closely matched
perceive in several of the New York papers, the
idea is held out that the Collector of the port will be
removed, and Mr. Coddingon, or some one else,
substituted for Mr. Van Ness This believe to be
u very unfounded opinion. / have the very best
authority for stating that the President has nen
ton whatever of removing Mr. Van Ness. The
New York appointments were made on Saturday
last the Globe having appeared with its valedctory
from tbs pen OF MIR. Rives, the fiscal partner on
Wednesday night. That vaedictory has been look
cd upon here indicative of the fact that the
Benton-Van Buren-Wright clique have declared
hosthy-or at least that they entertain hostile feel
ings President Polk has nothing to expect from
them but that which they cannot refuse without des-
,roying themselves, and therefore think run no
hazard in saying that the appointments on Saturday
were the evidences of the adoption of new course
the part of Mr.. Polk. He feels that it is in van
be satisfied with less than entire submission, and
ne has therefore resolved to put it at defiance.
Hence the particular appointments which
made, which are such that although all the appoin-
tees decidedly OF the young democracy"
and were all opposed TO the denomination of Van
Buren,, yet that Clique dare not caye at them, or
refuse To acknowledge their propriety; and hence
also the retention OF Mr. Van Ness who is a faith
tul officer, an able and talented man, and thorough
democrat, and against whom that clique and Its
organs have launched their bltterest weapons, and
used their utmost exertons They have all been
II vain, and Mr. Van Ness will remain Collector of
the port of New York.
In my letter day or two ago, mentioned the fact
that the omission OF any notice OF the subtreasury by
Mr.. Richie, IN the first number of the Union, had
excited very considerable remark and comment here
The Union has been atentivey scrutinized for some
notice or indication this topic ever since, but
none has yet appeared, and remarks and speculaons
thereon are still more frequent and general. Con-
nected with this subject there the fact the diss
tstacon OF the great ci7ues, and the ominous fact
that was on this very question seven or eight
years ago, that Mr.. Calhoun and his friends came TO
the support Of Mr.. Van Buren, and aided in the pas
sage Of the ub-Treasury bill, while Mr. Richie led
oil MIR. klves from the democratic track, and the
superstition Is by no means unlikely or far fetched
that II the present administration should be found
tamperlng with the pet bank system, the Van Buren,
ties AMI the Cahounltes, dlssimar as they may ap-
pear, may again unite and be found bantling tore
Their. II IS undeniablc that both these great cligues
are watching with Argus eyes the movements of Mr.
Richie, and while the Northern faction are sore
and exasperatcd with the destruction of their
influence in the Giobe-the Southern men are very
suspicious of Mr.: Richie, not believing HIM very
friendly towards Mr.. Calhoun, and both wings are
ready to take hold of anything to his prejudice
