From the New York. Courier & Enquirer. The aptifiroacking criiii.Plan of the op

fiotition campaign The opposition to the

present republican administration of the general government is playing one of the deep-, est and most desperate games that ever was djvisedby deleated, disappointed ambition. We recollect that some time last summer a waira 'friend of Mr. Clay from western Vir ginia, who had been on a visit to Boston where he hadjeen Mr Webster, in a desultory conversation dropped several hints as to the plan of operations which the coalition meant to pursue to regain their lost power, or if they could not do that, to avenge them

selves by producing a general excitemenJ that would lead eventually to a seperationof the Union. At that time we treated it as idle talk, originating in chagrin and disappointment. Recent events and discussions during the present session of Congress, have brought the subject most forcibly back to our recollections one of which is the following passage in Mr. Cambreleng's late admirable Report on Commerce and Navigation. The passage is as follows: "We are papidly extinguishing our pub lie debt, and approaching a crisis, which will revive the recollection ol all former collisions on constitutional grounds. In five years, the expenses cf the Federal Government will not much exceed our necessities in 1792, which then included the interest on the public debt. We do not wish to anticipate that cri

sis but it requires no extraordinary sagaci ty to foresee that, on the rasultof that struggle, the character and fate of our General Government will depend Our constitution is destined to encounter the most formidable combination of interests, which it has ever had to contend with since its adoption. The question will soon be, what it was in 178T whether or not the State Governments shall be mere Provincial Institutions under the control of an absolute General Government?" The "crises" to which Mr. Chambrelenj alludes is indeed approaching more rapidly than even he imagines A fearful and im-' portant crisis it will be. As soon as the national debt shall be extinguished, the question of the surplus revenue will invoUe in its settlement every great question which has been separately shaking the country for the last twenty years The tariff, the public lands, internal improvements, commerce and navi

gation, the U. States Bank, and the surplus revenue thrown into Congress at oi e ai d ihe same period, will produce a concussion never yet experienced in this countiy. To these will be added by way ol variety the minor questions, giowing out of fanaticism, prejudice and folly of the day such as ' tiSunday mails, anti-masonry the Indians, Zzc. tic. The opposition to the present patriotic and republican administration are preparing to avail themselves of this ccmbinati- nof powerful interents for the purpose of giving an

absolute poxver to the General Govrnment, or tailing in those to produce such a state of feeling and irritation between different sec tions of the country, as will lead to the most frightful icsuSts. For several year? past the doctrines, avowals and movements of Messrs. Webster Sc Clay have been tending to that object, and operating on the passions ol men for its accomplishment. Mr. Adims was taken into the coalition and made President for the last four ycais merely to keep the subject alive, tid cither of the original part nets and contrivers should assume the purple The tendency of the ratin an declarations of both Webster and Clay; since the termi nation of the last war has been to mak he General Government a poweTuI Aristocracy, giving law to the states, and con'rolmg, the industry of the people without regard to local interests oi local habi s If they ran not accomplish that splendid project, nd by it the election of one of themselves to tho presidency, they are willing to ruin ihe coun

sequences.

The movements of the opposition in the

present Congress are most adroitly taken to accomplish the original plan of the great eastern and western aristocrats. The Dub

lie land question has been introduced into both houses ol Congress by opposition mem

bers, (in the house by Mr. Hunt, of Vermont, and in the Senate by Mr. Foot,ol Connecticut,) for the purpose of irritating and tanta

lizing the west. 1 he object of the opposition is to ii fl .me every local or sectional ex

citement, but to allay or assuage none to

talk about every thing but settle nothing, till all these great quetions shall be thrown intr Congress together. This will take place in less than five vears. when the public national debt shall be paid off. We are not surprised therefore that the opposition should vote down even a discussion of the present tariff. Although a minority of both houses, yet the opposition being organised; and acting in every great question en masse they can at anytime, by means ot legislative expedients, stop the action of Congress and theeby increase the excitement of the time.
