I secure his own re-election, or failing in thai,
?o nominate and elect his successor. It is now

member of the parly in power, in a letter to the
New ^ ork Tribune, sustains our views to the
full. Without detaining the reader, we lay
t before him this excellent epistle?excellent be

ture letters shall be regularly given.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF POLKI8M.
Correspondence of the Tribune.
Washington, June 2, 1817.
Wm there a window in the breast of each one of
j the prominent politicians of this country?a moral
stethoscope by which their secret th-ugh is, selfish
impulses and unchasteried aspirations, could be as
certained with the nicety of a mathematical demon
stration, aud spread, like charucters on a map, before
the public, how diflir nt the estimation in which
some of them would be holdou ! No man, suy*
the French proverb, is a hero to his valet <ie-cham
bre; possibly, no Frenchman ever was, for there is
[ always some gasco nsde?some attempt at effect, in
the conduct of even their must distinguished. It is,
however, universally true that false greatness or at
| sumed character becomes exposed in its genuine co
lora on familiar approach; and many of our orrat
mkN would sink into natural insignificance, if their
character and pretensions weie truly developed to the
world.
To prevent misapprehension, I b.g leave to say
lhat I do not intehd to make application of these re
marks to Mr. President Polk. It requires no near
access to his person, to form of his ability and cha
| racter a proper opinion; the nature of his character
i* 8? patent that it can be distinguished as easily at
a distance aa on a nearer view.
It is necessary, however, in this connection to speak
I somewhat of Mr. Polk, his conduct and its motive.
That (he entire internal policy of his administration
has been predicated upon the hope of re election is
the general belief?a belief warranted l>y a proper
J observation of facts. The leading politicians of the
Democratic party certainly discoveied that this was
the cherished object of his pursuit, as early as the
first Congress after his election. That this de-ire
has been the all-controlling influence of nig adminis
tration, with his own party especially?and that it
has been the knowledge of this fact, which has ren
dered the President so deplorably odious to a vast
majority of /.he leading Democrats of the country
there can he no doubt. That it his dictated nine
tenths of the appointments to office, no one will
question, who will take the trouble to examine the
| aultject. Van Buron men, Cass mon, Calhoun men,
"Pai thians, Medea, Edomites," were tre.ited alike
with kindness or neglect aa they favored or frowned
upon the Presidential aspirations. It has been the
policy of Mr. Polk from the early utarl lb foment
divisions in the party, to weaken strialim the differ*
I ent sections of it, to prevent union, harmony and
Qonciliaiion between the different leaders, and thus
compel bis own renomiuation in 1848, as the sole
available candidate of the Democracy. His course
in relation to Mr. Wright, Judge Woodbury (nei
ther of whom was consulted or referr, d to in the
\ formation of his Cabinet) Gen. Cass, Mr. Hanne
gan and others has been equally treacherous ; and
unaccountable, save on one supposition. His con
duct towards Messrs. Hannegan and Hayward upon
the Oregon question is typical of the hateful mystery
of his proceed.ngs throughout. He spoke to those
distinguished gentlemen with a bi-forked tongue;
gave opposite assurances to each, aud,impartially
violated them; and so exa.perated these honorable men
than one de< bred in his seat in the Senate, that if
Mr. Polk did pursue the course foreshadowed by Mr.
Hayward, tie would sink so deep that the trumpet of
the Ahgel of Resurrection could not reach hiin ! and
the other resigned bis position as Senator as the solo
escape from the difficulties into which reliance upon
Presidential assurances had involved him.
The selection of bis Cabinet?the sole chpnge
that has been made in it?the reason therefor?
these are among the many indications of the inten
tion wiih which he arrived at Washington. Mr.
Bancroft was admitted into tho Cabinet chiefly on
account of his suppos.d personal attachment lo Mr
Polk; [and at the persuasion of J. G. Harris, now
Purser in the Navy] an attachment of so impulsive
a nature as to induce him to visit Mr. Polk in Ten
nessee before the nomination at the Baltimore Con
vention.' He was also a Van Buren Anti-Slavery
Democrat; and Mr. Polk thought hia appointment
would be a sop to the Northern Cerberus of Democ
racy, just then beginir.g to affect a nice delicate sort
of antipathy to Slavery in the abstract!
But when it was found that his profuse profes
s.ons of attachment to the person of the President
however sincere, brought no accession of political
strength to his cause-that bis farther retention in
the Cabinet would alienate the Southern Democracy
unable to digest bis Yankee notions on Slavery?
and that a strong clamor had arisen, and was likely
to increase, against his ofli ul conduct, bis charla
tanism in character and manners, and his notorious
wantofvaracity-Mr. Polk persuaded him to go in
to honorable retirement as Minister to Great Bri
tain.'
On the 1st instant the Parliament of Canada was

totally different from the stolid, Jack lustre,

time as if he had just betrayed a friend,-and
expected to be convicted of it.

WASHINGTON AS IT IS.
June, 1847,
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
NO 11.
Crossing Third street, westwardly. on the
North side of Pennsylvania avenue, we come
to Gadsby's Hotel, a large five story building
including basement. Ii stands on the corner
and extends over 100 le??i on each street. On
the same side of 3d street, a few doors north is
Beers' Temperance Hold, a fine four story
double, brick building. There are seventeen
brick houses on the north side of the avenue
between 3d and 4? streets. They are chiefly
two and four story buildings. Only three
frames are found on this side of the square and
ibey are occupied by confectionary shops.
About mid-way of the square is the celebrated
Jackson Hall erected a year or two ago by
Blair and Rives, the publishers of the okl
Globe newspaper, and the publishers now of
the Congressional Globe. It is three lofty
stories in height exclusive of the basement. In
the first story are two storerooms?one occu
pied by the office of the Congressional Globe
and the other by Caton's excellent new gro
cery establishment. The second story is a fine
ball room in which the City Assemblies have
been held one season. The third story is the
head quarters of the Washington City Demo
cracy or the Jackson Association. Theentrance
to the ball room and the association room is
from the alley. In the rear of this building
stands the spacious printing office of the Con
gressional Globe.
Alter leaving Gadsby's, the lower story of
which is occupied by a Lottery Office, Duvall
& Brother's Tailoring establishment, Gadsby's
Saloon, &c, and passing the Lottery Office ot
John W. Bronaugh, the long known Grocery
Store of Upperman, &c., we come to Birch's
U. S. Hotel which is a spacious building com
prising three four story buildings adjoining
each other, with the stem of the letter T run
ning in the rear iu which is the dining room,
&c.^ In the first story of this hotel, is Brown
ing's Tailoring establishment. Next door
westward of the United States Hotel is a spa
eious and lofty building belonging to John
Donoho, at present partly occupied by Van
Loan &, Chase's admirable Daguerrean rooms.
Passing what is railed the Shades next door,
and Jackson Hall, we come to the office of the*
Colonization Society, Fowler's Tailor's shop,
1 yarn's Segar Store, several unoccupied stores]
Brenner's dry goods .tore, T-mpleman's book
Mure, with the Canton Tea Agency, and
I hroup's engraving establishment above stairs,
and the Baltimore Sun office on the corner of
4* street. Many private lamilies reside in the
upper parts of these buildings. Over the Bal
timore Sun office is the Odeoti theatre room.
Going back with us to the corner of the A v
enue and 3d street, on the south side of the
avenue, we meet with McDermottXcarriage
manufactory, which occupies a large frame
Iront, and extensiye buildings in the rear, and
Naylor's tin and sheet iron establishment. On
this side of the Avenue are i?ight frame, and
eleven brick buildings. Among the latter are
Mrs. Holmead's commodious four story board
ing house, nearly opposite Gadsby's; Mrs.
jtocoli's boarding house, nearly opposite the U.
I States; and Mrs. Mounts' boarding house on
the corner of the Avenue and four and a half
street. Also on this face of the square is found
Suns & Son's long established and favorite
Grocery establishmeat, the residence and office
of Dr. McConnell the Dentist, the Cabinet
makers' shop of Lee & Espy, a painter's shop,
a locksmith's shop, the barber shop of p. Car
ter Dunlap, and the favorite building known as
bhonnard's boarding house, but now unoccu
pied. There are several other shops and stores
devoted to other branches of business. The
brick buildings on this side of the Avenue are
chiefly three stories.
The foot pavements between third and four
a half streets, are skirled with flourishing, tho'
not very large trees-such as elms, honey-lo
custs, maples, &c. There is a fine large open
Ot at the comer of third street and Pennsylva
nia avenue on the south side, capable of re
ceiving a hotel as commodious as Gadsby's.
( To be continued.)
Ocf-We are authorised \o say, says the last
New Orleans Bulletin, that General Taylor
never used the expression, which has obtained
such obtained such general currency through
the public press, that "if there had been only
regulars in. the battle of Buena Vista, he would
probably have lost the day, as the Mississippi
volunteers were whipped three limes, without
knowing it." This he considers doing great in
justice to the regular army.
The letter, under which we make the above
statement, continues, and says, "so far from
entertaining such a sentiment, the General
lamented nothing more strongly, than his en*
lire want of regular infantry, as a brigade, or
even i strong battalion would have enabled
bun to carry the enemy's artillery, and to have
entirely destroyed his army."
We ate further authorized to deny the report,
that the officers next in rank, were opposed to
giving battle, which is entirely nntrue, and is
calculated to injure tho>e officers if ajlowed to
circulate uncontradicted.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD
WILL BE GIVEN for the apprehension
and securing in jail, in Prince George's
county or the District of Columbia, so that I
get him again, my negro man PHILIP. I
suppose he is about five feet five inches high,
active and well made, small head and small eyes, his
lieard is thin and in spots, no marks that I recollect.
He is orderly and speaks slow and low. His cloth
ing is drub or gray; but I understand he took ail
his clothes with him, so that he may be dressed
otherwise. He may be about 25 or 30 yaars of age. 1
I bought him out of the estate of Mr. John A.Tur
ton, between Nottingham and Piscataway. He may
be about that place, or skulking about Dr. Edward
Eversfeld's, near Piscataway, where he is said to
have a wife, or he may be trying to make his way to
sojne free Slate.
I can truly say, he went away on Sunday even
ing, the 30th May, without any just cause, for I do
not recollect of ever speaking harsh to him. He left
his wife and children at home.
