We perceive in several of the Whig

The Abolitionists are hostile to Vir

Whigs, because Virginia has been the
idfast champion of the Constitution.—
e Whigs will never forgive Virginia for

tiality for Virginia, by the Federal Gov

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK
IIEKALO.
We transfer to our columns to-day the
following letter from the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald, with
out wishing to be understood as endorsing
or adopting all the opinions and conclu
sions which the writer expresses in re
gard to some of the parties mentioned.—
Yet we think there is sufficient point in
some of his observations, particularly on
the subject of the Tariff, to render it in
teresting to our readers. Asa matter of
justice, as well as courtesy to the veteran
editor of the Richmond Enquirer, whom
we esteem for his uniform gentlemanly
bearing and demeanor, as the conductor
of a public journal, as well as honor for
his unwavering attachment to the princi
ple of Virginia, the true doctrines of Jef
ferson, we give in a parallel column his
reply to the charges contained in the let
ter of the Herald correspondent:
Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON.
Washington, April 2, 1545.
There were four removals ofclerks last
evening in the Sixth Auditor’s office in
the Post Office Department. Messrs.
Evans, Moncure, Rose and West were the
sufferers, and of course Air YVnshinoton
will take care to supply their places with
democrats. Os these four, Mr. Rose was
an appointee of Mr. Tyler’s, who remov
ed Mr. Wharton of Tennessee, withoul
consulting Mr. Whittelsey the then Sixth
Auditor, and Ylr. Whittelsey was so much
affronted thereat, that he tendered his re
signation, and declared his resolution not
to be an office holder under government
at the head of a responsible office, if his j
clerks were to be removed without cause
or application to him, and others put in
their places of whom he knew nothing.
Malicious persons however say he would
never have tendered his resignation it he
had not expected Mr. Clay would he
elected President, and would reinstate
him in his office.
The restoration of Van Burenism in
the official appointments by the Cabinet,
is creating still further and more deeply
sealed discontent and dissatisfaction
among the young democracy, and although
it is said that Col. Benton’s influence has
no effect at the YV bite House, yet there
are certain proofs that he possesses great
influence with the recent appointees of
the Cabinet. Col. Gardiner the recently
appointed Postmaster in this city, i& a
most intimate friend of Col. Benton s,
and I have learned that he has refused to
appoint any person to any of the subor
dinate posts in his gift, without the appli
cant is specially endorsed by Mr. Benton
and the self-constituted clique or club in
this city, which lias undertaken to dictate
to the President the disposition he shall
make of the offices in the District, to
which they claim to have a right to nomi
nate their friends, (or rathet members of
their club,) and Col. Polk hasonly to ap
point those so recommended. Then Mr.
Gillctt: of St. Lawrence county, New
York, the recently appointed Register of
the Treasurer, is one of the same breed—
a regular Benton Van Buren Wright
clique man—and all the prospects ap
pear to be those of a regular restora
tion of the old clique to power, which
produced the state of affairs eventuating
in the defeat of the democratic party in
IS4O.
The young democracy are very wroth
at this state of affairs, and at the appear
ances of things. Then I learn that Mr.
1 Ritchie is said to have recommended to
Mr Polk and the Cabinet to send Mr.
Cal’houn to Texas, on account of the ap-
iffieulties in the way of annexa
tion. This is looked upon as an insidious
attempt on the part of Mr. llitcliie and
others to destroy Mr. Calhoun. If lie be
nominated, it would appear to be very
ungracious in him to refuse to accept such
a mission, and advantage would be taken
of such a refusal to attempt to injure him,
by the many misrepresentations and slan
der which'would be circulated by those
hostile to him, and who desire to crush
Idm if possible. If he were to accept,
a to ’l’exas, as minister, he could not
dlviUv thing to further the annexation—
he could not address himself to the pco
pfeol Texas—he could not address him
i , to l . he Legislature—he could only ad
dress himself to the powers that Ire; and
u they be opposed to annexation, the
causes can be well divined for theircourse;
and those causes are such, that no weight
of character or talents which Mr. Calhoun
possesses, and would bring to the accom
plishment of his mission, would in the
, least avail to change their feelings of op
position. ihen if Mr. Calhoun should
hid, who cannot foresee the hullabulloo
winch would be raised against him, and
i the efforts which would be made by the
Benton Yan Buren Wright clique, to,
make appear that Mr. Calhoun had caus
ed the failure ol annexation—and that it
was because he had been sent the object
was not accomplished. And if he suc
ceeded, supposing he was to frame a trea
ty which would be acceded to bv Texas,
then the same efforts would be used to de
feat the treaty; and if they succeeded,
I tie feat would likewise be charged upon
I Mr. Calhoun, and it would be said that
it was his having been employed to make
I a treaty, which he had caused to be drawn
up so as to ensure rejection. Every way
in which they look at it, the friends of the
great see evil intent towards
Mr. Calhoun, and hence their exaspera
tion at his dismissal from the cabinet,
their dissatisfaction with subsequontevents
their distrust of the President’s tariff
views in his inaugural, and the composi
tion of bis cabinet are all heightened and
increased, and the mutterings are heard
growing louder and fiercer as the denoue
ment draws nigher, and shortly the thun
der cloud will hurst with a fury which can
be imagined bntnot described. If the war
once breaks out, it will be “war to the
knife.”
All these things, however, tend to exas
perate all the classes which fought against
Mr. Van Buren, and thought in his over
throw they had accomplished the destruc
tion of the clique which under him had so
long controlled the government and pos
sessed all the offices ; and to sec that very
clique reinstated in power, and to learn
|of this rumored advice of Mr. Ritchie’s to
send Mr. Calhoun to Texas, and to see
the consequences which they perceive
would flow therefrom, makes them ex
ceedingly bitter, and it will easily be seen
that this feeling with respect to Mr.
Richie’s advice will make his position
: anything but an easy one if he should
come here as is now expected to edit “the
Organ.” Nine tenths of the active men
in the Y’irginia canvass—the great majori
t} r of the candidates for Congress in that
State—the leaders of public opinion there,
and those by whose exertions so large a
majority was secured for Polk, are Cal
houn men, and if they find Mr. Ritchie is
thus uniting with the open and concealed
enemies of Mr. Calhoun in counselling or
effecting measures which are meant, or
will tend, to injure him, he had better re
tire at once while he can do so with honor,
and not wait to be defeated, and to prove
the predictions that are now freely made
of his certain failure as “organ editor to
be true.
These feelings here arc also working in
another way, which promises trouble for
the administration. Since the appoint
ments of the Cabinet have appeared to in
dicate a restoration, complete, and more
so than they think Van Buren would have
dared to make —more attention has been
paid by the free trade democrats to that
part of Mr. Polk’s inaugural concerning
the tariff. The more they investigate it,
the- more they are dissatisfied. They
now feel that Mr. Polk’s letter to Mr.
Kane, and which has been termed by them
“free trade-sentiments in tariff language,”
was more tariff than they wished, and they
say of his inaugural that it is “tariff doc
trine in free trade language.” In truth,
they suspect they have been deceived on
this point also, and that Mr. Polk will de
sert all his long expressed principles on
free trade, and give up the point to Mr.
Buchanan’s views, who goes for protect
ing under the name of “incidental” to an
extent commensurate (as the free traders
say) with the wishes of the protectionists.
How can a Cabinet, they argue, composed
as Mr. Polk’s is, be expected to do justice
to the south, which lias been so long op
pressed? Why, too, say they, should the
tariff be allowed to he an open question in
the Cabinet any more than the Bank? —
Why, when they made that question a test
question in the recent contest for the Pre
sidency, should not a Cabinet be appoint
ed which comes up to the standard of the
Baltimore Convention resolutions? If it
he urged tc them that Pennsylvania is in
favor of a tariff, they reply, not so—the
whigs are in favor of a tariff, and they
make all the noise about it; but let it be
made a party question, as the Bank ques
tion was, and it will be found that the de
mocracy, the farmers, the yeomanry of the
country, are no more in favor of the pro
tective" tariff than they were in favor of the
Unifcd States Bank, when nearly every
member of Congress from Pennsylvania
voted for the Bank; and yet when Gen.
Jackson vetoed it, and came before the
people for approval, the democracy tri
umphantly sustained him, while most of
the Banksupporters who had made all the
noise about Pennsylvania being in favor of
the Bank, went vvhere they belonged, to
the whigs. So with the tariff, argue the
free trailers; they say that all these men
who shout so loudly for the tariff, anil say
Pennsylvania is in favor of it, only repre
sent themselves and their own pockets,
and if the question were to be represented
to the people as the Bank was, the people
would sustain the free traders, and the
persons benefitted by it would go to the
whigs, where they ought to be. In addi
tion to this, one ground of their growing
dissatisfaction on this point is in the fact
which has come to my ears that Mr. Buc
hanan is an iron master! How, say they,
can they exficct free trade from a cabinet
whose premier is an iron muster, a trade
which is directly benefitted by the tariff.
In this predicament the free traders say

tariff as respects Lowell cb»«
afraid he will be desirous to

State, by pandering to the tariftite
this, too, they attribute the conduct of Mr.
Dallas, his relative, as President of the Se
nate, in altering the constitution of the Fi
nance Committee, with the remark that,
“as a Pennsylvanian he could not consent
to have that committee a free trade com
mittee;” thns acting as senator I‘rom Penn
sylvania, with the power of \ T ice Presi
dent, instead of the Y r ice President of the
Union.”
These influences the free trade men
fear will operate upon Mr. Walker’s
mind, and they even connect the above
conduct of Mr. Dallas with Mr. Walk
er’s aspirations, and thus prevent the re
alization of their hopes of a revenue tariff
on all subjects from him.
In this predicament I learn that there
are indications that the free trade men
will proceed to carryout their principles
to their full and just limits, viz: the impo
sition of a property tax and the aboli
tion of the 'Tariff. They say that this
will only need to be fairly placed before
the people, and its justice and equity to
be properly stated, to ensure its success.
It is highly probable that a movement to
this effect will be made during the next
session of Congress. The free traders
say that the people need but to see the
justice and equity of requiring the prop
erty holders to contribute to the support
of the government, which protects them
in the enjoyment of their property, in pro
portion to the value of the property,
which is protected, to ensure the success
of this measure. They point, for in
stance, to the case of John Jacob Astor,
who, although he is protected by the gen
eral government, in the enjoyment of $25-
000,000, yet onty contributes to that gov
ernment in the same proportion as the
poor and industrious man, who uses per
haps more sugar and salt, and wears out
more clothing than Astor, thus paying
more to the support of the government,
while if a war were to occur, the post
man would be called on to serve in order
to protect the property of Astor, while he
himself has no propeity to save, and he
thus gives both his services and pays as
much as Astor, who is worth so much.—
Reasoning in this manner, and feeling
very dissatisfied with the present appear
ance of things, they believe there is no
other way to secure justice for themselves
than to come ogt and advocate ( the imposi
tion of a property tpx, which would, as
they say, also tend so reduce the expen
ses of the government by bringing the at
tention of the people to bear upon the
mailer in which the money they were
required to pay, was expended.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
AN EDITOR CLASHING YVITH A COR
RESPONDENT.
We contradicted in yesterday’s paper what a
Washington correspondent of the New York Her
ald says about us, viz: that we had proposed to
Mr. Polk to send JUr. Calhoun on a mission to
Texas —as well as the “insidious design” which the
said correspondent attributes to us of “destroying
Mr. Calhoun” by such a mission—and yet, strange
to say, in the very same No. of the New York
Herald, which makes this charge against us, its
editor makes the following declaration:
“Y\ T e do verily believe, that the only possible
mode of accomplishing the annexation of Texas
at this late day, and in view of the difficulties which
have come to environ it, would be the appointment
of Mr. Calhoun on a special mission to Texas. II
any man can bring that Republic into the territory
of the United States, by removing the obstacles to
that result which exist in the Texian Government,
he is the man.”
YY 7 e do not suspect the Editor of any “insidious
design to destroy M r. Calhoun”—yet his corres
pondent would suspect us of such a design, (or
making the same alleged proposition. The cor
respondent assigns the reason ibr his suspicion, that
if Mr. Calhoun “were to accept, and go to Texas,
as minister, he could not do any thing to further the
annexation—he could not address himself to the
people of Texas—he could not address himself to
the Legislature —he could only address himself to
the powers that be; and if they he opposed to an
nexation, the causes can he well divined for their
course ; and those causes are such, that no weight
of character or talents which Mr. Calhoun posses
ses, and would bring to the accomplishment of his
mission, would in the least avail to change their
feelings of opposition. Then if Mr. Calhoun
should fail, who cannot foresee the hullabulloo
which would be raised against him, and the efforts
which wotilil be made by the Benlon-Van Buren
\Y T right clique, to make it appear that Mr. Cal
houn had caused the failure of annexation —and that
it was because he had been sent the object was not
accomplished. And if lie succeeded, supposing he
was to frame a treaty that would be acceded to by
Texas, then the same efforts would he used to de-
I feat the treaty; and if they succeeded, its defeat
would likewise be charged upon Mr. Calhoun, and
it would be said that it was his having been em-
I ployed to make a treaty, which lie had caused to
Ibe drawn up so as to ensure rejection.” (These
| positions are all weak, and the results lie would
| draw from them almost entirely visionary. Now,
I what says the Herald himself?)
In the face of all these gratuitous assertions and
unfounded arguments, we have the Editor himself
1 declaring that Mr. Calhoun is the only man who
could accomplish the annexation of Texas—that if
any man can “remove the obstructions” to the
j measure, Mr. C. is the man. •
We repeat, that we have no disposition to run a
muck at tht letter-writers in Washington; yet.
with such an evidence as this before us, we would
advise them to be a lillle more chary about their
facts, and still more their ascriptions of motives.
But the friends of Mr. Calhoun in Virginia, to
whose lalents and influence this New York Cor
respondent justly pays a high compliment, will
scarcely thank him for the advice which he has
volunteered in relation to ourselves. They know
us much better than he does, and lie might well
have spared himself tfie unnecessary trouble of pay
ing the monitor for their benefit. They know, if
he does not, that we fiave no design upon Mr.
Calhoun—no insidious desire to destroy him —that
we entertain none but respect and kind leelings to
wards him. We may extend our disclaimer still
lurther. We have no insidious design—not the
slightest wish or purpose to destroy any Republi
can — but our wish is to unite the Whole parly, as
far as we can, in the support of our common prin
ciples, and to rally them all in bringing back ihe
Government, to use Mr. folk’s own language, “to
lhe Jeffersonian standard.” Several of the Her
ald’s correspondents in Washington have s|H)ken
of our Senior Editor going to Washington to con
duet a political journal. Should this scheme be
earned out, he will undertake to say at once, lunt
o „nd an opposition to their rnc«
ami their course. \
In fact, tiie Republican Party must remain fc*
getiier—“one ami indivisible.” Our constant ene
my (the YVhigs) are too strong, too well drilled, too
much animated by party spirit and irritated pride,
to permit us to waste our strength in divisions in
our ranks. YYecannot aflbrd to quarrel with each
other. The household must remain quiet at Imme
for the tvolf is at the door.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Driven from the city of my earliest and
most interesting recollections and associ
ations, by the malice of my enemies, se
cret and avowed, I thank my friends who
have clustered around me in the darkest
days of my adversity. I shall return to
die midst of those who have always sus
tained me, in the beautiful town of Ath
ens, in the county of Clark.
1 abandon no principle of the Democ
racy of the country, it is my faith and
belief; and although the administration
has been imposed upon by the misrepre
sentations of those who have traduced
me, yet when the veil shall be raised.it
will be seen that I have acted faithfully
and honestly.
In whatever line of business my matu
rest reflection shall advise me to adopt,
for the support of a needy and helpless
family, I ask tor the countenance of a
community that I have ever served in
peace and war.

AHUTncB TRIUMPH.
The city of Brooklyn, N. Y., has cast
off federalism. The democrats have car
ried it by a handsome majority, giving
the whigs and natives a Waterloo defeat
in one of their strongest holds. So.we go.
The Washington Constitution says that*
a rumor is current and generally accred
ited in that city, that the British minister
Mr. Packenham, is charged with the ne
gotiation of a treaty with the United
States, “based upon reciprocal advanta
ges to the products of eaeli country in
their respective markets.”
The Madisonian of .Monday week says :
“The new Post Office act, authorizing
the Postmaster General to contract with
American citizens for carrying the United
States mail, between the United States
and foreign countries, and between ports
of the United States by sea and the Gulf,
in steamers capable of being made into
efficient vessels of war at the shortest no
tice, to be taken into the naval service by
the United States in lime of war, at an
appraisement, opens a wide field for the
enlargement and improvement of the
means for national defence. The route
from Wilmington to Charleston, and from
Mobile to New Orleans, and from New
Orleans to Galveston, should be put in
operation in iron steamers —they being
the most secure and lightest of draught—
at an early day. We understand the
cost will not be greater to the United
States than the present service, and then
the complaints for failures, on the former
route especially, will be heard no more.”
