JAMES GORDON BENNETT:


DEAR SIR tt have been much pleased with your
lass weeklles, on seeing how you are disposed to
treat the two great particular parties Their organs
are too depraved, as you veryhusty say and until
there is an improvement in the tone of the press,
we can expect nothing but lies, blood-shed riot
and disorder. With US, every indication shows
the feeling which will be manifested at the Presi-
dental election, and without some mutual under
standing is arrived at between.c and locofocos,
relative TO the Elliott votes, there will be much to
regret by both parties.


At this time (athough an American resident in
the city for twenty years) politics run higher than
have ever seen them. Young Hickory Clubs
have been established in every ward in The city
Clay Clubs, Junior Clay Clubs, and whig head
quarters are seen in every direction and for the
last week, to Judge of the manifestations made,
the democrats must be receiving large acoessiOns
to their numbers-and this does not at all surprise
me, when reflect upon the acquisition OF Texas,
which question is swallow ing every other one up,
and so great IS the contaglon here and IN Missls-
slppl that every one is receiving touch, and





tor Louisiana will be desperate. The Cumanche
poney Qor such is Texas now recogniZed,) with
Polk astrde, refining in the little seed, is device
the ocos have lately got up here, while far behind
is seen Mexican mule braying and kicking up
behind, while Henry Clay is coaxing the animal
ahead! Betting of course ls all the rage, and,
fortunately, the wings have been too enthusiastic,
which the democrats have taken advantage of;
and those who, month ago, would bet jim Polk
wouldn't get one hundred electoral votes are now
uneasy in betting apon the grand result. This en-
thusiasm amongst the locos is attributed to the
declarations which we daily get from the Empire
State and since honest Sas has consented TO run
for your Governor, the thing is given up; and
there is no doubt but, with James Buchanan in
Pennsylvania aided by Skunk, and Silas Wright in
New York, that their influence will defeat Henry
Clay's electon-and as you very correctly say,
New York State guides the Union. Down here,
Polk is considered already elected. But enough
OF polltlcS-dam politics.


Our business season Is now actively approaching.
The new crop Is arriving very rapidly, and the re-
ceipts to date are already over fifteen thousand
bales; what few buyers from Spain, Mexico and
France who are now in market, know not what to
offer; and our factors, guided by blind zeal,
think better prices must be had after this month ;
In this, however, they are very wrong, and tn. y
who make the first sales will find they are the
best-particularly royal nsighDor the British
Consul will not be in the market. BY the bye,
speaking OF the Consul OF Her Brtanic Majesty for
the port of New Orleans-are you posted up, rela-
tive to his operations

we do not apprehend sickness, consequently our
merchants, dealers and landlords are busy fixing
up, and if we to judge by what our friends say
north, we are to have more. people in New Orleans
than at any former period. Say 10 Nudge, OF the
st. Charles Hotel, that 1t IS time he was on the
spot, as without him the ST. Charles will very soon
be forgotten. Old Hewlett Che greatest man, al
ways excepting John K. Crimes, has now the run,
and keeps table not surpassed by Stetson.-
Madam Hawley, Of the ST. LOUIS, which is the
ceanest and most convenient house is the city, is
making great improvements, and our Club House,
ah, don't forget that-say to the boys about town,
Jim Sanks, Pete and Sorrel come up every evening.
Now, MIR. Bennett, / have given you all the

of, but should you think favorable Of this l will
again honor you. Until then, am decidedly the
