A letter from Washington in the New York American says: Tyler is outrageous about the election of Blair & Rives, as Printers. He says the contest is now narrowed down to Clay and Van Buren, and the chances are two to one in favor of Clay. Now, no thanks to him for this as we knew it long since: but it is news that he should at length have a perception of the truth.

There is a rumor that some of our New York Locos called on him to procure some removals and appointments, further to "Democratize the Administration." "No, gentlemen, you have inflicted upon me the greatest possible personal insult, by the election of Blair & Rives; you have thereby endorsed all their attacks upon me. I cannot assist you with further appointments."

I believe something of the kind has occurred

A letter from Washington says—A very active trade is driving by those who are before the Senate for confirmation, to induce Whig Senators to lean graciously towards them. They seem to suppose it is only necessary to get Whig support, to secure their confirmation. Far from it—strong opposition is manifested from the Locofoco side of the Senate, who loathe the corrupt manner by which they obtained office. Henshaw and his satellites are particularly active, and his wire-workers are here from various quarters You can know them by their smiling, cringing sycophancy to all on whom they hope to operate. In this way they are seeking to wheedle the Calhounites, of whom Mr. Henshaw affects to be one.

A letter to the Philadelphia Chronicle, says:-

"Mr. Wise's name will be again sent into the Senate for the mission to France. He will of course be rejected for want of capacity. Henshaw and Upshur will be confirmed in the Cabinet, and J. M. Porter be rejected. The administration now occupies a neutral position between the Whigs and the Democrats. The Madisonian has opened its batteries both on Clay and Van Buren. It has ceased to support Calhoun, in consequence of the remonstrances of some of his friends, who regard the support of the administration as an injury to any party on which it is bestowed. I do not think Mr. Tyler has received the visits of more than ten or twelve of the whole Whig delegation in Congress into such utter disrepute has he fallen among honorable men."

A letter to the New York Express from Washington says: "It is said that the President will put a stop to more removals for the present in the Post Office service. Mr. Tyler would seem just at this moment to have stumbled upon the query, what is to be gained by removing those in office, when those put in are but enemies in disguise.— What will be Mr Tyler's sensation in May next, when he discovers that he is worse than friendless in the convention where he has thrust himself: And what in November when he is found solitary and alone among the People:"

Extract of a letter to the New York American says: The Locos wish to make some capital out of the suggestion of a short session, and intend (as I hear) to introduce and pass a resolution to adjourn on 1st May, with the expectation that the Senate will lay it upon the table.

There is a restlessness about the Calhoun men. which seems to mean something—perhaps, the collar galls a little—perhaps, (which some think is more than possible.) they have only put on the collar for the purpose of mischief.
