"When Rogues fall out," &c.—The Madisonian contains the first of a series of letters addressed by Reuben M. Whitney to Martin Van Buren, on the financial condition of the country. Whitney denounces the Sub-Treasury Scheme in unmeasured terms, and assails the Editor of the Globe with bitter acrimony. The Globe, on the other hand, denounces Whitney with equal vehemence !! When will wonders cease? Blair and Whitney—the Castor & Pollux of the Gen. Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet, basting and roasting each other without mercy! Some precious developments may leak out in the course of this war between the "chief cooks and bottle washers" of the late dynasty; and we shall therefore keep an eye to the progress of the combat.
