WASHINGTON CITY, June IT, I84S.
 The news of the recent dissenting fed eral meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, has wei nigh thrown the expediency leaders into fits. Most of them had persuaded them selves that the news of the unanimity witt which the nomination had been received to be found in the Taylor papers, was re- liable The knowledge that the famous MT. Giddings was abroad in his district for an unascerained purpose, caused theil knowing ones to dread hearing from Cleveland, and the balance of the Western reserve of Ohio. The very silence witt which this visit of his, to his district, ha: so far been accompanied, was considered ominous, and the spirit of whig opposi tion coming from that quarter, is here re. garded as the legitimate result of his in. reference.
 They now dread to hear how the pro. proposed mass meeting in New York. to ratify their nomination, came off; for even there, it appears, whig dissentionists bid fair to outnumber regular voters.
 have letters from Georgia and Virgin ia, giving an account of the manner in which staunch whigs receive this second attempt to Tylerize the universal kingdom of Coondom. They are from public men of very reliable judgment. In every in- stance, learn that even in those States, for one democrat disposed to hold out against Cass, there are two bent on ta- king no part in 1'ylerizing the whig par ty. If the trick of throwing aside their prominent kciyilian is to gain them five hundred votes in Virginia, Georgia. or Louisiana, to make up in a measure, for the loss of thousands in other States, OUT friends in Washington will be not little surprised
 They have made most woful mistake, take my word for it. After November next any coon in the country will run on hearing the word availability" uttered.-- They had hoped that the action of the Philadelphia Convention would be receiv- ed with sort of "Tippecannoe and Ty- Ter too" ou;burst. the country over. Now, instead of anything of the kind-fnding even here and there a "sott' democrat disposed to ''cotton" to their ticket-they are met with thousands of whig protests against Taylor from all quarters of the country. This is indeed enough to prove a damper upon their hopes. So they la Dor with no spirit in this quarter, where. being all politicians, most active exertions were looked for on their part.
 Yancey's recent speech in Charleston, going against Cass & Butler, was proba- ply delivered at the request of MT. Cal houn, who is supposed to be anxious to withhold the vote of what was lately his State, from the Democratic nominees. As matters now stand in South Carolina, Mir. Calhoun cannot venture to essay this pur- pose boldly; as his power over the minds of the people of that State is rapidly wan ing. Indeed, if he says "bolt the nomi- nations" to them, they will answer by set- ting .up for themselves. He probably hopes, by sacrificing half dozen talent ed young men, like Yancey, in the attempt to ripen the popular mind for the execu. ton of his purpose, to bring it to the de- sired state of pliabil;ty by November next.
 Yancey's course in the Baltimore Con- vention appears to have "done" for him at home, well nigh; for every democratic paper in the State, despite his advice, is understood to have raised the Cass and Butler flag. His Charleston effort to dis organize will let him down, it is thought here, to his proper level, so far as politi. cal. Influence is concerned.
 The anti Taylor whigs have proposed the nomination of Niles, of Connecticut, to the Utica Convention people, and, if made, offer to join in his support.
