J. G, Bennett, Esq. :— Living here in the hub of the great political wheel, in less excitement than pervades the twen- ty-six epokes, by reason ef their more important functions and their more rapid whirl, which seems almost to have crazed the brains of some of them, if brains they have, we feel very sensibly every jar that agitates the machine, in its progress through obstacles that would long ago have shat- tered to pieces one less solidly constructed. Though the tire has been in wear fifty-five years, itis thought it will hold together some ten or twelve years longer; and possibly a much greater period of time, if the apprentices of the great mas- ter workmen who constructed it prove themselves equal to the task of preserving it trom destruction. So long as the majority of spokes are of ash it safe. Those of hickory, an ¢ in particular, very troublesome, and seriously threaten a breach While the axletree is well greased, however, all will go well, though some of the spokes should give way; but the individual whose duty it has been for three or four yeare to atvend to this, seems to have used a very interior article, for there is so much foulness and filth colleated together, that his successor will have a very difficult matter to put ali right. Ailegory aside, a tale might be told of iutrigue and treachery, of bargain and gale of office, of betrayed friendships, of violated trusts, of foul aspersions of name and character, of corrup. tions and sbominations, a8 would make a jubilee in hell. But this ungrateful task is not mine at present. : Bob Tyler has recently been ona visit here. He has cut quite a figure since accident has given him a little consequence and brief authority ; but his day is over, and he will no longer torment his poor pa, tillin the agony of his spirit he eball ery out, as he has done, ‘* my son, for God’s sake, let me alone!” Yesterday, the launch of the St. Mary, sloop of war, of one thousand tons, came off at the navy yard, and every body was there, from prince to peasant. The whole court was in attendance— the beautitul lady of the President, leaning on the armof the venerable Chancellor Bibb, and Miss Alice Tyler, escorted by Judge Mason, Secretary ot the Navy. The Secretary of War, Attorney- General, and Postmaster General, w th their tami lies; all the high dignitaries of State, Foreign Ministers, ( hargés, Secretaries of Legation, At- &c., &e., graced the ecene. These seemed to look upon it a8 an entertainment given by the Secretary of the Navy; but disappointment was much feared, as the thousands present were per- mitted to practice patience from half: past three, the appointed hour, ull five. The Secretary of War thought it “the most militia affair he had ever seen;” the thick-skulled PostmasterGeneral thought his (!) telegraph a more succrasful event, and the poor Secretary of the Navy was most wofully beset, teased and worried. The powers of nature seemeo not disposed to yield; but at length, by the aid of a battering-ram, the St Mary was started from her position, and moved gracefully and majestically into her foreign element. We look for the * Herald” every morning with an interest amounting to anxiety, and naturally turn to the letters from Washington. Cano you not give us a better correspondent than “O. V ,” alias “Coon,” alias “Ht” We all think him very green and very soft, and better fitted for a copying clerk than an original writer, his letters being nothing but repetitions of your own editorials, or bald imitations of your graphic style.

James Gorpon Bennetr, Esq.-- Dean Sin—The locofocos breathe longer and freer, and more natural, since the Herald brought the glorious news of the Natives refusing to join the whigs in the approaching fight. Had the plot been consummated, all the British gold and gangs of strolling, hungry, impudent, foul-mouthed dem agogues that prowl about, engaged in urging on the organization of frauds and pipe-laying—pouring forthevery where the lowest blackguardism—could not in all human probability save the “Empire State” from giving her vote to Clay and Freling- huysen. Now the result is involved in extreme doubtand uncertainty—hoth parties claim it, but we must wait patiently and see what the Herald says before coming to any conclusion of our own The Naval Generaj Court Mariial met yesterday at 10 o’clock, when the defence of Lieut. John W. West, of the brig Somers, charged with intoxica- tion, was read by James Hoban, Esq , his counsel. The charges are loose and indefinite, and if the Court, in coming to a decision, be governed by nu- merous cases decided in English courts, in similar cases, the charges cannot, and will not, be sustain ed. Court met to-day at the usual hour, and ad- journed till to-morrow 10 o’clock. Hoban will realize a tair business transaction for his services, before the clore of the Court Martial Hoban is decidedly the tastest and swiltest lawyer in the district, saying nothing about his extraordi- nary talent aa political speaker, and the way in which he uses up the coons. The lannch of the U. S_ Sloop ef War, “Saint Marys,” came off at the Washington Navy Yard yesterday,at precisely 5 o’cleck, instead of halt-past B, as advertised, owing to a little delay in the pre- liminaries. The day was pleasant, and long before the time appointed, hundreds of spectators had col ted upon the opposite shore, where an excellent view was afforded, including a large number of ladies, At about 4 o’clock, dewn came the steamboat, J. Johnson, from Alexandria, literally covered with spectators, taking a sweep near the great mass ov the main shore, crossed over to listen to the soul inspiring strains of “Hail Columbia,” from the Marine band = Men, women, ard children, con tinued to arrive until 6 o’clock, when the number had increased to three or four thousand. Precise ly at 6 o'clock off she started for her ‘deetined ele- ment,” handsomely decorated, having on board her commander in “full rig,” amidst the peal ot rtillery and the wavin of handkerchiefs The “‘st, Marys” isa beautiful model, copper fastened and pierced for 24 guns. She is to be commanded by. t. Sanders, late of Gosport Navy Yard. The President has not returned, but is expected the early part of next week. Respectfally, H. Eartiquaxe.—We have intelligence from Bata- via, Alexander, Attica, Bethany, Darien, and Alden, at each of which places there wae a ver perceptible shock of an earthquake, at 8 o’cloel yesterday morning. Allthe various accounts agree ia saying that it began with a heavy rumbling like that of a wagon driven over frozen ground. Then came a shock which shook windows, furniture, stoves, crockery ov the merchant’s shelves and in the houses, &c. The whole shock lasted perhaps halfa minute. We have been unable to learn the direction of the shock precisely, but all who have any idea on the subject think it came from the east. So many concurring accounts from such an extent of country we think sufficient to establish the fact that there was a veritable earthquake.— Buffalo Advertiser, Oct. 25. Murper or U. 8.

Whig and Locofoco Commotion—Alarm on the part of the former, at the independence of the Natives in refusing its Embraces—Abolitionists cutting loore from every thing but the “one idea,” viz— The Unfettering of the Slave,” §c. Dear Sir :— «The eyes of the whole country have been anx- iously directed toward the movements of the two new elements of party, that have sprung up with such rapid growth in the Empire and Keystone States, within the past few months. The leaders of the two old parties of the republic have been thrown hors du combat, and find it ex- tremrly difficult to martial their forces for the ap- proaching conflict, on account of tne wholesale desertion from their respective ranks to the now formidable legions of the new ones. 7 The bar room politician, the travelling orator, the bantering sportsman, who has his thousands staked on the result—the thread-bare expectant, and the alarmed statesman, are each in their re spective spheres, agitating the qaestions, * How are the natives going to cast their votes? And what will be the effvet of the indomitable adhesion of the Liberty men to Birney ?” Whatever may be the proper answer to the fore- going qu ries, it is certain, that the whigs are op- pressed with the most disheartening forebodings, whilst the democrats, with thatfconfiding philoso- phy that never deserts them, agsume a look of great composure, and at the same time preserve an ac- tive vigilance toward the operations of the neatral armies. Th» principles that controlled the elec- tion in this city and county on the Sth instant, can- not be brought to bear on the contest to take place on the Ist of November. The democratic portion of the American party justify their recent aban- donment of Mr. Shunk, on account of the position in which he placed himeelf on the subject ot the ase of the Bible in the Publft Schools; but de- clare, that no such reason can operate against Mr. Polk, who is presented to them as a man anda ehristian of the most unexcepuonable reputation They are, therefore, found opposing all overtures, and in the absence of any selection ot their own, ready togive him their support, whilst the whig moiety, holding the same conservative views, have determined to give their suffrage to Mr. Clay. The question of preference has been voted down in these associations when introduced, and repu- diated in their private consultations Their great object for the present is unity of purpose, and con- sean) harmonious action, believing that in this policy alone the desired reform at which they aim can be accomplished. The next Presidency is to remain an epen question, as it is beyond doubt one in which their principles are not involved. The have already, in 4» first effort, attained much good, and are thus encouraged totellow it up with renewed zeal, until they succeed in filling all the avenues that lead to pow and authority with the embodiments of their principles; and with the victories in the future which the past has promised, they hope on the return of the next can- vass for the Presidency, to present some distin- guished citizen, pledged to their political faith, for that high office. Thus have they reflected and determined, and thus, in their own view, and in that of the world, have they been preserved in their integrity of purpose. The abolitio ure not without hands in the game now coming off. The “one idea” is embla- zoned on their bauners, and deeply graven on their hearts; their line of duty runs straight forward, and tne history of their progress is not marked with ereceiliay step. Onward! ouward ! is thelr watch- word, and the ballot boxes of every northern State in which the cry has been raised,ure teeming with evidences of the advancement of their cause in public favor. They anticipate no sudden triumph, but have the utmost faith, that by perseverance,the balance ef power will be reached, and the doctrine of universal liberty established. Whatever may be said by political economists of the errors involv- ed in?their position, all will admit that it is a mag- nanimous one, and creditable to their hearts, it not io their understandings, They profess to have no selfish purposes to attain, and laugh at the argu- ments of inexpediency «nd impracticatility so freely scattered in their path. The magic of the purse fails in its application to their consciences, and the virtuous impulses of hearts consecrated to the cause of human liberty turn indignantly from the offer. i pi It is probable, therefore, that the Native Ameri- cans, asa init U will endeavor to avoid the danger of deteat by refusing to join with either of the great parties of the Union, preferring rather to reserve their fire for the next October contest, when they willno doubt carry their whole city and county ticket. — The liberty men are redoubling their energies for the contest of the first of November, and I mis- take the aspect of things greatly if they do not show an increase of thousands over their vote in October. Whatever may be the result of the Pre- sidential conteet, it is certain that Mr. Birney will receive so ined a supportin Pennsylvania as to se- eure it for the democrats,and in Ohio and NewYork, judging from the confident promises ot his friends, 4u great an accession of strength will be made, as to render the success of the whigs, in either, more than doubiful With the hope that your neutrality will preserve you from molestation by either of the belligerents, until they have fully earned the reputation of the “Kilkenny Cats.” I remaintyours. Poxrrics ts New Jersey.—The late election in New Jersey, which has resulted so favorably to the whigs, and so unfortunately to the democrats, having at length been brought to a close, we can now cast our eyes over the battle-field, and survey with calmness the effects which have been pro- duced, avd the probable result of the grand con- test in November, compared with which the one recently decided is but a skirmish. Although the whigs greatly exult at the almost unexpected issue, and the democrats are proportionably down-heart- ed by it, still, to a reflecting mind, the election of Mr. Stratton teannot be esteemed by either party 1s @ perfectly fair criterion of the result of the Presidential election. Mr. Thomson’s connection with a monopoly, caused his name to be stricken from many of the democratic tickets, and many of his party,disgusted at ite union with one of thoe ing'itations on which the democracy have ever kept a most watchful eye, voted the whig ticket entire; and the extreme unpopularity of Captain Stockton with his own party, more than counter- balance the effects ofhis money. The fact is, that the true demverats of New Jersey, no matter to which party they belong, can never sufler any one man to carry that glorious little State “ia his breeches pocket;” and the ‘* bone and sinew” pre- fer supporting one of their own classto one “‘ reared ta the lap of luxury.” The election was a local one entirely, and various causes were brought to hear upon it, which will not operate for or against either party in November. In the Fifth Disirict the whigs have nomi- nated for Congress William Wright, who was elected last year by a union of the two par- ties in his favor, or rather a union of a portion of the whig pery. with the democratic. Mr. Wright received the unanimous vote of the whig nominating convention; not because he was the man whom the great majority of the party pre ferred, but because the convention feared that the clique who supported him last year would boltfrom the party, unleee the name ot their favorite canct- date was placed upon the ticket. The whigs think that Mr. Wright will gata many of the Irish votes, because of his tormer liberality to the Repeal As- sociation, and because his valet, whom he took with him to Congress, was a locofoco Vatholic Irishman. (By the way, I wonder if the Irish have heard trom Mr, W. any more expression of his pe- culiar love for them, or whether any more money has been given towards “repale” since the great Native American victory in New York last spring?) Oa the other hand, the democrats calculate that such of the whigs as are Native American will re- fuse to vote for him. The democrats have not as yet nominated a man for Congress in the Fifth District. The whigi flatter themselves that they will not ran one Whether this will be the case or not isknown only to the ‘‘wise ’uns.” There is a democratic gain ia the vote of Essex county, but this was caused by the votes of the foreigners, who were naturalized last fall in great numbers to secure the election of Mr. Wright; and they will undoubtedly vote for him again this year, which willeause him to rup ahead of his ticket by some five hundred votes. Both parties in New Jersey are corrapt and rot- ten to the core; and itis hightime that a thorough reformation was effected, which will undoubtedly take place after the coming election, not ouly in New Jersey, but throughout the country. * Joun A.
