Washington, Juno 27,
Political gaming, and the Noiith Carolina
Gamester.
The sign of the limes, and recent political
movements among the coalition of the Loco
Fooo and Nullifiers, have given additional
interest to the last days of the present session
of Congress. Mr. Calhoun's motives and
Mr. Ca houn’s actions are now for the first
time,fairly understood by both the political
parties ir> Washington. “Why Mr. Calhoun
has his eyes upon the Presidency!'* was the
exclamation of n friend to :i frond, hut u day
or two since. “Tobe sure he has," was the
response; “and while Mr. Calhoun has been
crying hurra for the people,’’“down with the
Banks,” “divorce,” “Bank Bribery,” “Hunk
Corruptions,” “Southern Rights,” “Northern
Interference,” and all the agrarian cries in
the Loco Foco vocabulary, he bus raised and
continued this hue and cry for no better rea
son than to build up his fume and lus fortunes
upon the ruins of u parly whom at heart he
■despises.” Even so, I assure you,—and the
story and motives ot Mr. Calhoun's recent
political summersets are us easy to loam as
the causes for light and darkness. Mr. OuL
houn is first for himself—secondly for South
Carolina,—thirdly for the South, nnd (imily
for as much of the North aw are willing to be
lieve (hat he is the purest as well as the most
intellect mi 1 man in the land. Vet. Mr. Cal.
Jioun would have ihu world believe that be is
mow the man lie was years gone by—a patriot
and a statesman; governed by principle rather
than interest. Os the justice of his proton*
sions,—of his devotion to Ins country,—of the
honesty of his sudden changes, let the honest
iraen of all parties judge.
■I remember to have soon Mr. Calhoun lor
the first lime in public life*, some live* sessions
ago. Then he was violently opposed to Ge
nerai Jackson as five sessions liclbre ho had
been violently his triend. Then as now, too,
the secret springs of action seemed to be
aelfinterest, self promotion, and disappointed
ambition. His own zeal for his own advance
ment seemed to have eaten him tip, and Mr.
■Calhoun and Mr. Calhoun’s interest, appeared
like a black spot upon the sun, to mark and
ito obscure all the good he possessed. Then
■it was that Mr. Van Buren, wormed himself
into the good opinion of General Jackson —
driving Mr. Calhoun out of the affections of
the “greatest and best,” and compelling Mr.
Calhoun to recede just in the ratio of distance
and attachment that Mr, Van Buren advan
ced. A step in advance made by Mr. Van
Buren was a step in the rear of Mr. Calhoun,
and soon, unexpectedly to every body, the
world saw Mr. Van Buren a companion at
the President’s table, while Mr. Calhoun the
then Vice President, was almost (licking tho
crumbs that fell from it. General Jackson
cast Mr. Calhoun off, and Mr. Calhoun for
■the first time discovered that Genera! Jackson
was a very had man, nnd no patriot. Moon it
was, too, wo are told that “Mr. Van Buren
bad none ot tho nobleness of the royal beast
o( the forest’ but “all the skulking propensi
ties of tho meanest quadruped.” But two
years and a month or two gone, there was no
■language to servo for this model of consisleu
cy to use towards the friends of General Jack
aonandMr. Van Buren. One man Isaac
lltll of New Hampshire— ho held publicly in
debate, “in utter contempt.” For another,
•nnd a devoted friend of tho administration—
Brown, of North Carolina—“ho could not
find brains and argument both.” Wright and
Rivers were then but the bob-tails to Mr. V an
Burens kilo. Benton was nn ambitious moti
atcr, sold ai no doubt he is, to tbo Pnnco of
Internal —m nU i .. ,it .t. . > . ...
C(on of General Jackson was us downright
corrupt, us usurpation and tyranny could make
iL and all for whal ! Mr. Calhoun hud been
'Vice Piosidcnt, and was a Senator. Mr. Van
Buren had been Secretary, of Slate and Mi
nister to England, was Vico President, and
was General Jackson’s candidate, and the
candidate of General Jackson’s Irionils (or
President of the United States! Here you
have a history of the past. Now fur the pre
sent.
At the special session of Congress in Sep
tember and October. 1837 I found Mr. Cal.
houn oiio third Whig, mid two thirds loco
foco. A Whig, when to bo one involved no
■ responsibility; hut warm and even ultra sup
porter of the administration, upon all ques
tions ot importance. The Southern i*atiiot
had now denounced the “Nationals,” us he
contemptuously called the Whigs, became
the “Nationals” could do nothing for John C.
Calhoun. The snare was tlum spread for the
now Administration and m the twinkling ot
an eye, as it were Mr. Van //men of New
"York, who but yesterday bad “all tho skulk
mg propensities ot tho meanest Hijnjulnipod, n
laUansfbrmed into a lull blooded Southern!
Hie Whigs were a selfish time serv im Abo
lition, Bank bought. Bank bribed set of fan,a
lies; and the whole body of the previous Ad
ministration in tho brief space „( „ s ow
mouths, passes through a fiery furnace, and
from the basest alloy, were now pure us dou
bly refuted gold.
December came mid Mr. Calhoun became
the whole three thirds a supporter of the mm
who had, “all the skulking propens tics of the
meanest quadruped!” Mr. Van It.ireu ad'
hn friends for the first tune had alignment I
and brains enough. Mr. Wright spoke
as by inspiration, and the Great Expunger I,ad
neon from the depths of political perdition to
the seventh heaven, to be the friend ami cm 1
panion of John C. Calhoun! Even Eh Moor,
of your City, whom two years since Mr. Cal
houn would not have touched with a pair of
tongs, could now walk arm in arm, as 1 have I
seen them lh»s session, and consult to miher
upon the groat and weighty matters ot ,|,o
nation. Quick as a H ish of lightning, all was
presto-change! South Carolina, with tiie
throe truly honorable exceptions, jumped Jmi
Crow with Mr. Calhoun, and the little chine
was muicd by the Calhoun men from A aba
ma, North Carolina, and Virginia.

way of introducing you to tho end of his be
ginning. No man of Mr. Calhoun’s stroma
fflind and high station over acts witlmut a ,„o°

appears as clearly as the rising or tho soiling
of the smi, and Urn following plain letter tut

ttthteh will have for its object the more com
plele union oj Southern interests, and the con'
sequent elevation of J. C. Calhoun to the l‘n‘
subnet/. There is a movement m the public
mind towards this object. 1 witnessed it du

support for the Presidency, and which hasne- I
ver withdrawn her affections from him not.
withstanding tho smuggles and collissiors
which arose from the high Tariff system. The
politicians following in the wake of public
sentiment, are here and there, in conversation
and in indicating Mi. (Jalhoun as
the candidate of the democratic parly.”
‘•John C. Calhoun elevated to the Presi
dency!” Hero you have tlie secret of Mr.
Calhoun’s last political, summerset, the clue
to his conversation, —the principle involved,
and the why and wherefore of Mr. Calhoun’s
going over lo the in in who has “all the skulk
ing propensities of the meanest quadruped.”
The mountain would not come to Mahomet
and Mohornet comes to the mountain. The
people are not prepared for ‘‘.Mr. Calhoun’s
consequent election, and hence Mr. Calhoun-is
preparing to elevate himself either by hook or
by crook. Here, too, is Mr. Calhoun’s mo
live lor the new coalition between the Loco
Focus of Lite North and the Loco Focus c(
the South. Does it not look like ‘‘bargain
and corruption!” And is it not quite as pula
pable as the “bargain and corruption” ofHen
ry Clay and John Quincy Adams.
I have written merely lo prepare you for
Mr. Calhoun “as the candidate of the Demo
cratic parly.” In all probability the nornina.
lion will come first by the South and then by
the Northern Democrats. Bo prepared, and
remember that Mr. Calhoun is one of those
men who like Milton’s Angel would ralhei
“reign in hell than serve in Heaven.” Oi
like Caesar, “would rather he lirst in a village
than second in Rome.” Mr. Calhoun wouk
rule the whole land if he could. If he can
not ho will aim lo rule the South with a view
of separating the North from the South.

According to the statements made in many o
the administration papers, the Whigs arc in fnvo
of the rechnrler of the old U Slates Bank. Tim

Hank ol Penn, into a National Institution is not
desired by n single member of the Whig parly,
and even if it were, we feel assured that Pennsyl
vania would never surrender the control of that
Bank to the general government. Bhc knows too
well how lo appreciate iis invaluable services,
oven to entertain such an idea. The truth of
the matter is, the hue and cry raised against the
U. 8. Hank by Honerul Jackson, succeeded so ef
fectually in making accessions to the parly, now
when the same is in a sinking condition, Iho

He has, in the discharge of the dutyim

Washington, July 20, 1803.
I he metropolis now wears its midsummer looks,
i I'hc latest lingerers among the members of Con
j gross have gone oil'. The streets are almost do
i sorted during the day. Pennsylvania Avenuei
which, hut a few weeks ago, was filled at partic
ular hours with the crowds g’oiujj or returning
from the halls ot legislation, can now boast of but
lew passengers. The weather has been intensely
hot for some time past, and all the citizens who
I can afford to leave town are oil’to the Springs, or
! the sea coast, or lo the country. Pincy Point,
on the Maryland side of the Potomac, is a favo
rite retreat from the dust and heat of the city.—
This is a delightful place, about one hundred and
ten miles below Washington, and not far from
the mouth oflhc river. Oysters, crabs, and fish
are obtained in abundance from the river, and
neighboring creeks, a fine, pure bracing breeze
from the bay gives coolness and salubrity to the
atmosphere ; and the advantages of salt water
bathing arc more convenient than in any watering
place I have visited. The house is remarkably
well kept, and I know not where the ladies and
gentlemen of the south, who arc accustomed to
look out for cool and pleasant summer quarters,
could find better titan at Piney Point. Those
who have been in the habit of spending some
time in Washington, would find there many of
their most agreeable acquaintances.
The people whoso connections with the Ex"
ecutivo offices, or whose pecuniary circumstances
compel them lo remain in Washington, make the
delightful grounds about the capital their evening
promenade, and more beautiful scenes are not
alien to be found than ate presented to the eye
during the hour for promenade, after sunset.
The President and Mr. Poinsett will leave the
cily next week, for Norfolk, and go thence to the
Virginia Springs to spend d tew weeks. The
Cabinet will remain in statu quo lor some lime.
There is a difticuly in obtaining the right sort of

I The distinguished Whigs who struggled so
j nobly against the march of Executive patronage
