From the Correspomleuce'of the S. Journal,
Washington, Feb. 15, 184S.

"Sufficiently full particulars of the great

excited some little commotion at the promt-

"was then escorted by the rank and file of
said associations to Coleman's, where he
now remains. It 's -aid that he has not
been plagued by office-seekers to any in-
convenient extent; that, in fact, since he
reached his present quarters, be has not

candidate, ennninted to that post, while tin
ft lends f Mr. Buchanan are contending
for him with equal determination. There
seems to have been great foundation for
the statement of Mr. Polk's organ, at Nash
ville, that he would call to his Cabinet no
oiK1 who had icon talked of or thought of
for the presidenOT, This rule would ex
elude, among others, both Calhoun and
Buchanan; and perhaps it was hit upon for
this very purpose. But it WtMld not ex
clude Mr. Walker; and Indeed, by thus
narrowing the range of Competition and
pretension, would signally advance the
claims of Mr. Walker to the first pltico in
the Cabinet. Nothing as yet, however,
appears to have been finally determined
upon.
Mr. Calhoun Is recovering from his late
severe attack of Ins habitual disease, and
II friends by no means consent to with
draw him from the field, for Mr. Walker or
'any body else. It is usual for ministers, to
re.-iign at the coming in of n ndW president,
a custom with which all the present sccre
t'lries will dOulVtless comply. If the Presi
dent, that is to be, desire their contlnu
'ice, he signifies his wishes to them before

will probably remain in office, Mr. Cah
