So far as the policy of Mr. Van Duren, under the new order of things, has been developed, it is to prevent the discussion of exciting topics during the session of Congress. It would be folly to suppose, that his immediate and devoted friends were now acting without his approbation, and without (system or concert. It is his policy that they should, for lhe present, play the non committal game,the reasons are evident. After the 4th of March, many members of Congress who have sustained his pretensions, must retire to private life, from which they may never again emerge,

unless the necessary arrangements are j i r mart nfllfha ,

now made for securing a part of "the spoils of victory." These gentlemen entertain conflicting opinions as to the measures which ought to ba adopted hereafter. It is, therefore, the wish of Mr. Van Buren to avoid collisions in his own ranks, and to send all home with hope; and when home, broJd ovpr lhose dis,ppoil)lments and mortjfICations which he has in sloro for them, The first trying question which they will be called upon to decide, relates, PrD.D,y.. ...

These details of conversations are literally (rue. I know them lo be true. If 1 did not know them to be correct, I would not 6tate them with such entire confidence. They are given that you may understand the inward workings of these men, what ever may be the outward appearance. It is s against the consequences which may flow from an uprooting of these smothered feelings, that Mr. Van Bu. ren is endeavoring to guard. Mr. Rives understands the whole subject.

If he has been made to think that Mr. Van Buren Manages Mr. Wright, he is deceived.
