From the correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washixotow, Doc. 30. Wo learn from New York that the grand JDemocratic Committee, just elected, for the city of 1 Now York, is eo composed us to give a preponderance to the Culhoun men. This is the more pro. bable for tlie reason that moat of the young men of tlied emoentic party in New York are fiiondly to the election of Mr. Calhoun. ' There are symptoms even here of movomenls in favor of Mr.Calhoun. Mr.Cushing in a speech I of yesterday, which aroused much party feeling, on all sides, alluded very strongly to tha disson- ' tions in the democratic ranks, and thereupon warn. 1 cd them that the administration could exercise a decided influence in the ultimate choice, if they chose. By the way, Mr. Cushing's speech on the Bank, nipt Repealing Act haa opened a grand political debate?which may last till many of its participants are politically bankrupt?i. c. till their team of service shut I expire. Mr. Cushing certainly arouacd the attention of both sides of the House in a remarkable degree.? The Globe considers his doctrines as profligate, bocaunc lie offers the cooperation of the Executive. | with any party that will co-operate with it. The Globe, however, it must be remembered, has steadily repelled all the efforts of tlio Tyler men to creep into Uic democratic runkB, and for the plain reason that there would not be offices enough for all. The bankrupt debate is the great political debate of the session. Mr. Arnold began it. Mr. Cushing has s|iokcn boldly, nnd with more truth than poetry, on the side of the administration. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, on the whig aide, spoke very ably to-day?showing the inconsistencies of Mr. Cushing, Mr. Webster, Mr. Tyler, See. Mr. Kennedy, of Indiana, a thorough loco-foco, spoke most earnestly on the other side, and vindicated ; democracy and Tylcrism. Mr. Wise has the floor far to-morrow, and will, I doubt not, exert himself very much. The Senate is not engaged in any business of public importance. Wasiiinutox, Dee. 2!). The debate in the House on the position of the Tyler Administration ; the causes of the failure of Whig measures, und of the defeat of thu Whig party at the late elections; the prospects of tiie Democratic party; the next Pre* dcnti.il election, &c., is still going on, and is not likely to ubatc in interest. Mr. Cushing'a speech is regarded as a Cabinet manifesto. Mr. Horace Evorrctt declared that it was prefaced by advice and uttered by authority. The speech, or procl una lion?whatever it may be called, has proved a failure, so fur its it was intended to intimidate or coax either the Whigs or the Democrats into thu support of the Administration of John Tyler und the passage of tho Exchequer Hill. The Whigs, through Mr. Thompson, of Indianu, declared they would neither bo bribed nor brow-beaten into it, and his colleague, .Mr. Kennedy, says the Democrats will not bid a copper for John Tyler, even now that he is put up with all his patronage (or sale to any party.? Mr. Kennedy, however, in the course of hia speech did Mr. (.lushing the justice to treat his proposition as it was intended ; und as so much censure has been cast on Mr. (lushing for offering to tamper with the immaculate virtue of Congress.?Mr. Kennedy,s remarks arc worth Repeating. * Mr. Kennedy said, he would tell Ilie genii inn it front Massachusetts, (Mr. Cushing) (hat on behalf of his party he could give no hid. But he scarcely thought tho gentleman in earnest, ilu had not understood him as bringing in Mr. Ty l?r In he hid tor here, though lie must context* hix speech had a most powerful leaning that way. [Honrs of merriment.] lie hud understood the gentleman simply to mean that Mr. Tyler was Picsidout ol the United States; that those who had put him into ollicc no-v turned out to be a taction, and were willing to break up and destroy tho (J .vernmont for tho sake ot wroak ng their vengonngo upon luin, (ai d thero was too much truth in that;) ami that Mr. Tyler, be ng in charge of the Government, must carry it on with the ( best means he had. If that was what that , gentleman meant, and he meant, Mr. K corresponded with hun in opinion. As , long as Mr. Tyler was President, he was , President ; the Government was not to lio stopped. It was not very material to , the peeplc who was President, but it was , material that the Government should go on. And if he found that a certain set ( of men were hanging on its wheels and , clogging them so that they could not ( move, it was his duty to demand support wherever there was honesty enough to , give it. If this was nil tho gentleman , mount, Mr. K. applauded the Hentiment ; and hoped ttio groat Democratic party would tuko especial care to net ns their I avowed principles should demand." I Mr. W ise had tlio floor to-day, and | 1 public curiosity was much excited in re- 1 gard to his defence of his position. But 1 Mr. Wise was ho much cramped hy the < one hour rule, that ho made little impression. He undertook to show that the Whig dissensions commenced prior to the inau* 1 guration of Harrison, and that the par- 1 ty would havo fallen to pieces, even if 1 Harrison had not been taken a way. 1 At tho conclusion of his hour, Mr. Wise 1 cast an anxious look to the clock, and , stated that ho had just come to tho most ' important point in his remnrks.

Mr. Wise, therefore, gained his object completely, ' in lenving tho impression that he could ' prove this allegation against the Whigs, though Mr. Butts had piunouuccd it fal*e ind slanderous.
