fore the cpbinet was the answer that was
to be given to the Spanish government:"
Our conversation was extendedand on
his part, embraced much that l havc nev
er felt myself at liberty to disclose. . After
he had gone over" the whole ground, in or
der to aviod the possibillity of mistake, I
asked the VTice President w hether he con
sidered his answer to mi" question, affor
ding me the information to obtain which I
had sought the interview, confidential or
not. He replied that it was not.
When I returned from the Vice Presi

in consequence of Gen. Jack'sons procee

Mr. Calhoun the Secretary of tJiewarDe

the presidehtlthe propriety and necessity of

tremendous rush for tickets among the

The objectof placing these two para

in which they here stand, is obvions.
Whilst the New York parrot repeats nul
lification,' Nullification,' it announces that
Mr. Calhoun is to get a dinner in Virgin
ia, and Mr. Webster another in K. York,
by' way of proving that there is a coalition
between them. We yesterday inserted a
notice in which Mr. C. declined a dinner
in Virginia ; and letters from Richmond
assure us, that, had he conse ntedlo accept
a dinner there, the representatives of tl.e
Old Dominion would have declared their
har to the question; if it w ere not inexpe

A virtual and incidental enforcement of
the depreciated notes of State Banks, by
their crowding out a sound medium, tho'
a great evil, was not foreseen ; and if it'
had becu apprehended, it is questionable
whether the constitution of lhc United
States, which had so many obstacles to
encounter, would have Tenturcd to guard
against it by an additional provision. A
virtual and it is hoped, an adequate rem
