Al.
remarkable document upon the particular friends OF
The fsvorite candidate OF Mr.. CLAY.
In the circle Of the friends OF the Secretary OF
STATE 1t was different. Here prevailed dark hints
inusndoes, and even charges Of black ingrssltuoe,
and internal treacAery. The sun seemed blotted
out, mephitic vapors filed the atmosphere, dark
clouds lowered around. swollen eyeballs glowered
over the pestilent record clenched teeth and rigid
muscles bespoke the inward wrath. The first long
silence that brooded in their ranks over the fata'
letter, was broken by a shrek and an aha stae
mart was reached in which Mr.. CLAY spoke OF Mr..
FrLLMoRBs competitors. When That cruel jeer was
reached in the letter where il 10 said that possibly
ave. POSSIBLY the Secretary Of State could admin
ister the government a. creditably Mr.. FILLMORE
had done, (though 1t was matter OF SO much doubt
that il was not worth while to try the experimen)
II was reckoned such fragrant case Of adding in
sut 10 injury that the reading thereof was followed
BY q universal howl
Their dread commander; he, above the rest
In shape aRd gesture proudly eminent,
Grinnins horribly shostly smile.
This was too much. To intimate that Mr.. WEB
srER not equal to the task OF administering the
Government 20 we'll as Mr.. FILLMORE, was TO tax
The forbearance OF the secretary's friends beyond
endurance. Professor FELTON, was Immediately

quotations ordered to suit the emergency which
we're At once forwarded. These were applied to the
old political war horse, who, with frantic malig
nifty was reckoned to take his last delight in giving
dying kick into the brains Of his ancient rival
The quotations were administered with most
classical JUNCTION, and their felicity appauded
with dsmoniac satisfaction. After this, three
cheers for the late loss OF the CLAY medal given
with vehement earnestness.
The account Of the effect of M CLAWS letter up
On the friends of Gen. ScoTT mus! be lefs to future
occasion Suffice it to say, that these gentlemen
have q nonchalantre way of treating everything like
opposition to their favorite candidates, which savors
much Of 4 complacent assurance They have a
less way of acting, that ntmates confident belief,
that this very serious aspect of the election we have
been considering, and indeed all the demonstrations
IN reference to the President and Secretary il but
the by play Of the campaign.

The Collins Line OF Steamers-Extsnsion OF

Csusspendsnce of The N. " Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, March Is, 1851.
Collins and his associates have laid be-
fore Congress all the facts in regard to the subject
Of their application for increased pay for carrying
the mails. They have exhibited in the Potomac,
within sight of the Capitol and Presidential mansion,
the finest and hsstest steamship that tho ingenuity
Of man during six thousand years has produced
and now, having done all that 10 proper their pars
they rest their cause, and await verdict.
The case 10 good, and demands attention upon its
naked merits. II 10 no scheme for plundering the
Treasury upon the humbug speculation plan For
every dollar that has been may be paid OUT they
have, and will continue to render fair equivalent.
1t II not the Nail service of the United States alone
that 10 involved in this question. To have our let
teSs dispatched across the in ten days time Is
consideyaton but to have them sent in Ameri-
can steamers, and under the American flag, out
stripping even the fastest ships Of proud England
90 long and so arrogantly the mistress OF the
ia . consideration, surely, which must make The
polse beat quicker IN every American heart.
