THE HERALD SUPPLEMENT. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Proprietor. OMce N. W. Corner of Fulton and Nassau sts, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 20, 1846. —————— AFFAIRS IN WASMINGTON, Pane Teatne.—A young gentleman made his “ first appearance, last oe: phe stage” as Claude Wasminoton, Feb. 15, 1846. notte, in the “Lady of Lyons,” and wi a The Position of Things. At the conclusion of the play, the celebrated Mr. Sands, It is sometimes refreshing to one holding an in- and his beautiful and accomplished children, appeared dependent position among political parties, to re- for the second time, in their wonderful gymnastic exer”| yiew occasionally their waywardness and tergiver- ciges, which have won for them the praises of all Eu | gations, and to bring out in bold relief, for the in- Tope Tonight, the graceyul and beautiful Madame | cron as well as the contemplation of mankind, Se takes her benefit, this being the last night of! 1... jitieness of the mere politician, as he is viewed er engagement. by him who never fawns, that thrift may follow. No man has ever entered upon the all-important duties of the Executive chair of this great nation, under better auspices than its present incam- bent; mor one whose prospects of support from every section and grade of his party, augured more unanimity and concord upon all the leading questions with which his election was ider- tified, than his. Yet in the short space of only eleven months, Mr. Polk finds himself hemmed in on all sides, by hostile factions in his party,who are not only pulling him, but themselves to pieces; and, in their efforts to rive above each other on the wide ocean of popular turmoil and selfish intrigue, are sinking the principles they would fain make us be- lieve they cherish, and which are ever and mnst always be centered in their Presidential head, into utter contempt and oblivion. Ihave recently refer- red to these factiona and cliques, by naming the chiefs in whose wake they respectively follow; but in doing this, I have not lostsight of the faults which appear upon the opposite @ide of the picture. The President himself, is resident of compromise He was selected tor the office he fills by the very parties who are warring now upon his principal measures, in order to prevent this very war, and secure union and harmony toall his political friends ; yet, strange anomaly, we find the panacea for al these anticipated troubles, become the ve Boweny Tueatae.—The entertainments at the Bowery last evening, were the “Wizard of the Wave,” and Bannister’s new grand romantic drama, of the * Orange Girl of Venice.” This is one of the Yinest of Sannister’s prolific pen, and will, we doubt not, long Fetain possession of the stage. A fine bill is presented for to-night—the “ Orange Girl of Venfee,” and the grand drama of “Wallace,” in which Mr. Scott performs the hero of Scotland, and Mrs. G. Jones the character of Lady Marion—to conclude with the comedy of ‘'Perfec- tion,” in which Mrs. Jones plays Kate O’Brien. ar Patso’s.—The Circus was truly crowded to overflowing last evening, and by one of the most brillient and enthusiastic audiences of the season. ‘The great attraction here is the beautiful and fascinating artis ¢, Madame Macerte, Who made her d-dut last ev ing in & pew ballet oa horseback, entitled ‘La Sylpbid Sho appears tn this ballet, for the second time, this even- tog, and another crowded house will be in attendance to greet the fair equestrian. A splendid bill is presented. On Saturday there will be a perfermance in the after. noon. Common Council, Boarp or Atpexmen.—A special meeting of this board wes held last evening. The City Charter, as amended and returned from the Board of Assistants, for concurrence upon an accompa: nying resolution, was, after much personal controversy on the part of two or three members of the board, at at wth conc i peer for that which it was intended to cure, and cause a macotinng of the} sort-ot diarrhaa in the democratic body“politic, e, Es resid which has weakened and paralyzed it so, that no quorum of members pri few unimportant petitions had b ferred to the appropriate comm: the report of the Committee on i proposed amendments to the city charter, which was acted upon by sections, and adopted, with some further amendments. preseription is now able to stop it. And what has been the cause of this? I will tell you what I think it is, When Mr. Polk came to Washing- ton, knowing the circumstances under which he was elected, he Supposed, I presume, that he was under no special obligations to any of the petty, parties who had previously struggled to nomi- nate another for the same place at the Baltimore Police Intelligence, Ax Arremer to Commit a Rare.—Charles Pfeiffer Was arrested yesterday on a charge of an attempt to| Convention; necessity, and nothing else, was the commit a rape on the person of Margaret Kobh; held to| cause of Mr. Polk’s selection there, as the candi- Dailin im of $300 to answer the charge at Court, by | date for the t he now fills. True, but did that Justice Merritt. event lessen the aggregate influence of these amall divisions of the one great party, at the head of which he stands, or renter ‘em ka a whole less potent for mischief, it so inclined, atter they had placed him in the Presidential chair? Certainly not How foolish, therefore, has it not been for Mr. Polk to eschew these men, as he evidently has done and shut them out entirely from his confidence ani his councils. : 7 The Senate of the United States is the true baro- meter of the political atmosphere, from which the curious may gather the right indication of every ap- proaching storm. There may be seen at this time the ablest men of the nation belonging to the Pre- sident’s party, in a state of utter listlessness and in- activity, brooding, as I suppose, over the elements ot strife that are ri ts before their eyes, which they cannot avert if they would. There are Mr. Benton, Mr. Calhoun and others, together wi.h the triends of Mr. Wright, all in a state of coventry with the incumbents of the White House, and even those who are supposed sometimes to reflect the President’s will upon the floor of that chamber, are not consulted upon, or even informed of, many of the principal questions upon which they are expect- ed to pass judgment afterwards. It surely is no art of wisdom, for the head of a party to wrap imself up ia the folds of his official dignity, and there to originate and decide upon important na- tional questions without seeking the advice of those who are equally, if not better, acquainted with their nature than he is. It is this unusual and vicious reserve on the part of the President, in his inter- course with those who ought to be his friends and supporters, that has given rise to all the trouble and dissension in the ranks of his party, and which threatens to cause its dissolution, unless a change of pe on his in this respect, be speedily adopted. wiil not now refer, in connection with what I bav- above stated, as the cause of tht Preeident’s trou- bles, to the total alienation of the Irish and Catho- he party from his support, by the injudicious and uncalled for attacks upon their creed in the columns of the government paper some months back, nor ot the sll more recent insult offered to the adopted citizens of every country, by the nomination, tor one ot the highest judicial stations, of a nian who was far a-hend of the late “ native” party in his op- position to their right to acquire the privilege of a citizenship of the United States. Nor will I enter into an investigation of the discontent that obtains among the democratic triends of the Tyler adminis- tration, who, while being ‘‘Tyler men,” were still no less democrats, and aided, as far as their influ- ence went, in maktng up the sum of that power that secured for the democratic party a triumph over their opponents. All these different classes and sections of the President's party are discontented and dissatisfied with him; and every element of op- position that they can setin motion to him, is yr vately and publicly at work to break him down. It is to show him that such is the case, that I have taken the trouble to name them. When, to this unfortunate state of things, is to be added the jealou- sies and dissensions of his own cabinet, what won- der is it that no definite or fixed rule of action can be hit upon; by those in power, to please all the va- rious interest which they have offeaded? To reme- dy this unruly crisis in State affairs, the Pre- sident ought to change his Cabinet forthwith, and open his arms wide to all the leading men of every section in the administratian ranks that feel es- tranged trom him. He should be liveral to all alike, and confer special favors upon none. As he is con- sidered not to be a candidate for the succession himself, it is a matter of little consequence to him whichot the present aspirants for that office succeeds, provided the people elect him upon the broad and comprehensive principles of his own party doc- trine. If, on the other hand, he desires to run Superior Court. Before Judge Oakley.
