All the fat is in the fire again. The Calhoun
men felt quite pleased with the nominations for
Baltimore as agreed upon few days ago, and
thought Mr.. Polk was coming round again, and be-
ginning to the evil Of his ways in appointing 20
many old hunkers as to make the so much dreaded


estoration appear inevitable Tile nominations
for Baltimore hev liked well enough, and drew
therefrom very pleasing auguries. But, 10 ! and be-
hold, it was stated last night. that Virgil X Paris,
VII had been nominated by Mr. Tyler and con-
hrmed by the Senate, as the Alleghanian Marshal
for Maine, had been removed by Mr. Polk to make
way tor another "rare old hunker," named Rufus
Congress, has always been good sound democrat,
and Is TREND OF Mr.. Calhoun, ergo he must be
removed to make way for an old bunker. The
wrath o. the Calhounites, which was cooling down



act OF President Folks and they threaten ali sorts
of things and few more They ask, very particu-
larly, if Mr.. Rufus Mcintyre happens to be one
of that Anti-Texas- Benton Van Buren, Wright
clique breed, Of which General Gould, the recently
appointed Marshal for the Northern District Of
New York, is a conspicuous member : And if he,
like the latter, was also appointed vice president
of an Anti-Texas meeting, as<Seneral Gould was at
the famous Rochester mee4ng, consequent upon
the celebrated secret Anti. exas circular signed
by Bryant, Butler Il Co? This new assault upon
| fptnn Mr. Eolh me- Les,
and to make way for an old bunker, has revived
all the bitterness of feeling which had been in some
measure lulled, and it will not be all surprising


if, when this and some other nominations OF the
Presidents come before the Senate. thew should
be summarily rejected, or it confirmed, confirmed
only by the support of the wings, with the hope of
causing and widening an incurable breach in the
democratic party, by operating upon the various
cliquess


There Is one light. however, in which, as vet.
these old hunkerish and Benton-Van Buren,
Wright Clique appointments, have not been con-
sdered. The Richmond Enquirer and the Nashville
Union have thought ht, either directly ndirectl
to scout at, orto deny the truth probability of the
reasoning of your correspondent as to the possibi-
lity or probability of Mr. Polk being a candidate
for a second term. They declare that it is out of
the question altogether-that Mr. Polk don't mean


it, and wont have it-and that it is all nonsense to
suppose that he does. Well, to be sure it NAV be


So. But does it not seem singular that he should
make So many appointments from this Benton
Van Buren-Wrlght clique, while at the same time


he has utterly demolished the influence welded by


that clique through the Globe and transferred II to
Donelson, Heiss, and Thomas Richie ? Is it not
fact that these old stagers at the public crib and
these old bunker who have been restored, are of


that breed who will stick to their Offices to the last
gasp, and who, sooner than lose them, will turn
round upon their old clique leaders. kick them in
to the middle Of next week, and then turn to and
tight through thick and thin tor him who has put
them ino and keeps them in their lucrative berths9
Are not these the men who understand wire pull
ling? and having them IN office, will thAs

Wright Clique. and been put into the hands Of gen
temen who may be said to be devoted to Mr.. Polk's
interests! Andrew Jackson Donelson, and Mr.
Heiss are both from Tennessee-boih Mr. Polk's
be in the new concern No one can doubt where
their predictions will point Mr.. Ritchie, to be
sure, disclaims any intention of forwarding Mr.


Folks claims tor second tern o. OF trying to sd-
may be all true enough. But itmatters not whether
he attempts to forward the claims of Mr.. Polk or
not, he ciA not oppose them. And, let him be as


ardent as he may be In favor Of any other man, (f


that should happen to be the case when the wires
have been judlciously worked, and it has been


made to appear that there is pretty general feel


ing In favor OF Mr. Polk for a second term, then
Thomas Richie will be found in favor of Mr. Polk
also. Who does not remember the ardOr of Thos.
Richie in favor of Mr. Van Buren,, up to the period


OF April last, one month previous to the meeting of
member his dropping MIR. Van Buren like a hot po-
tatoe, when he discovered that large portion of
the party were determined not to have him at any


price Is It not then, viewing the state Of things


that affairs are tending in the direction the best
calculated to bring about and render inevitable,
the nomination of JAMES X. Polk, as candidate
for second term think it lie, and, therefore,
think the nomination of these old hunkers should


not be considered the restoration OF the old Benton
Van Buren-Wrght clique, so much the appoint
rlves, prove themselves the most ardent, devoted,
and INSCRIPTIONS supporters of Mr.. Folks claims
to second term! Nous verroxs.


The Collector of the port OF Alexandria died two
or three days ago, and Mr.. Hillary Langtry has
been appointed in his place Mr.. l.. was undoubt-
edly born in the District Of Columbia but for the


last twenty years he has been a citizen of Tennes-
see, and carrying on business as a merchant in the
town Of Columbia, Maury county, Tennessee-the
town, county. and State Of Mr. Polk. Is not this
providing for MIR. P.'s friends Does it not look


like securing strong bedy Of faithful supporters in
MI. !Polkl Nous ve,rons!


Governor Tallmadge, the renowned leader of the
conservatives OF the State OF New York, who was
tory of Wisconsin, where he owns a large and
valuable property, and which has probably been
improved some by Mr. rs appointment as Gov
ernor, has been removed from his Office by Presi-
dent Polk, and Mr. Dodge, the late Delegate from
the Terrltorysto Congress, has been appointed in
his room. Hoora for rotation in Office!


Mr.. o'Sullivan, the editor Of the Ne,o York
Morning Netcs, is here. So is Senator Blk So
are number others OF the same clique. The visit
ct Mr.. Rives, OF the Globe, to Albany, and Mr..
Dlx's sudden return to Washington, are supposed
BY some folks to have some mysterious connection
with each other, and also with Mr.. O'Sullivan's
appearance here. Probably feeling the side blow
(not fatal one) which has been struck at their
influence, by the substitution of Richie IL Co. for
Blair u Co., in the organ, the Benton.van Buren,
Wright clique want to compensate themselves
therefor by obtaining the New York Collectorship
tor some supple tool Of their clique. They are un-
think, however, they will hardly succeed The
Collectorship Of New York is altogether too inn
portan, and too potential Office, to be surren-
dered to the control of that INSCRIPTIONS CLIQUE
which II to be the intention Of the President
to crush, while apparently he is conferrins Offices
