The Uniou publishes a call for a meeting of the Democratic National Committee (appoint- ed by authority of the last National Demo- cratic Convention,) at the National Hotel, in this city on the 8th of January next, which is about time of the year at which they usually meet here in the winter immediately precod- ing a Presidential election. The Hon. George Reed Riddle, of Delaware, (one of the com- mittee,) is the author of the call. The follow- ing is a list of the said committee : Maine—Hastings Strickland. New Hamp- shire—C. G.

The Intelligencer, noticing Mr. John Coch- rane’s recent reply to Prince John Van Buren’s latest vagaries, says: “Tt will be seen that Mr. Cochrane claims for Congress the very power ‘in regard to Ter- Fitories’ which Southern Democrats deny al- together. Mr. Calhoun objected, on the ground that if Congress could touch the subject at all in regard to Territories, it could both establish and prohibit slavery. It is claimed by Mr. Cochrane ‘that this was the doctrine which the Democratic party had always held’ in re- gard to slavery, and this, he adds, ‘is the true emocratic doctrine, which is opposed to its extension !’” The explanation which follows, that this opposition cau ‘be enforced only by constitutional methods, namely, the action of the people within their own proper limits,’ is one which in reality amounts to nothing. The Abolitionists themselves merely suggest op) sition to slavery by ‘constitutional methods,’ and do not pretend to have any right to med- die with the institution in the States. If the New York Democratic Convention, in their resolution declaring opposition tothe extension of slavery, simpiy meant such ‘an opposition to it as is perfectly strict and legitimate with- in the limits of the Constitution,’ they and their Southern brethren surely do not under- stand each other; for the latter deny that the Constitution authorizesany intermeddling with the subject in any manuer whatever.’ so —_____ PERSONAL. +++e Col.

The Tendency of Politics.—A writer from this city in the Journal of Commerce of the day before yesterday, takes occasion to ex- plain the rapid tendency of the votersof the country to separate themselves into two great parties only. This is inaccordance with what we have been publishing for some months past. At the South, since the virtual dissolu- tion of the Philadelphia-platform Know-Noth- ing party by the formal abandonment of se- erecy and the nominal abandonment of hos- tility to Roman Catholics, there is now, vir- tually, but.a single party, as all in that sec- tion of the Union agree in opposition to the great northern opposition organization, headed by Senator Seward. At the North, while the Philadelphia-platform Know Nothing party and the straight-out Whigs still oppose the persons representing the Democratie party, they stand with that organization almost to a man, upon nearly all the questions really in igsue at this time—the slavery question and the liquor question being the only two which are not peculiarly local Opposing men in politics and menfully espousing the cause they represent, is but feeble and ineffective op- position indeed, and always tends greatly to strengther that cause in the end. Feeling eonfident that that the Know Nothing dela- sion at the North is rapidly following in the wake of the same thing at the South, we are prepared to see the secresy feature abandoned there also, almost immediately. The anti-Catholic feature will bemaintained some time longer in that region, owing to the prevailing leaven of Puritanism, the spirit of which is almost as deadly hostile to the civil equality of religions at this hour, as when it burned witches at Sxlem and whipped Quakers at thecart-tail. Stripped of the opportunities to mislead and inflame the ignorant, fanatical, and bigoted and prejudiced, which the secret teaching of demagogues instructing men bound by oats to implicit obedience affords, the ele- ment of hostility to Catholic equality in civil affairs must soon die out, even in New Eng- land; as it cannot, in this enlightened age, stand the fire of frec and full criticism in the open light of day Itis but an effort to re- establish, in the popular mind, ideas exploded acentury ago by the power of reason, truth, and justice. When it-dies out there will be but two parties left at the North—the party of nominal ‘‘ progress,’’ avowing the right of the Government of the United States to do any- thing, more especially with reference t» slavery within our country’s limits, that a majority of the voters may fancy todo; and the party of the Constitution, true to its limi- tations and to the principles of cautious self government inculeated by the early fathers of the Confederacy. The Bon. Henry May.—The health of this gentleman has recently improved much, his numerous friends here wiil be exceedingly glad to learn. By-the-by, as we find that there is an effort on foot to injure him by ere- ating a wroug impression with reference to his position, as a Kepresentative in Congress, upon the question of the late change of the superintendencies of the armories of the United States, with our knowledge of the facts in- volved, we cannot do less than set the matter atrest. It is said by those who would gener- ate prejudices against him, at this particular time, that he was opposed to the bill making the change consummated. This is positively and unqualifiedly untrue. Much to our own regret, we found him its warm friend. We even yet believe the measure to have been an unwise one for the comfort and interests of the Government's employees in such establish- ments as well az forthe public interest; though in this opinion Mr May, in repeated conver- sations on the subject, refused to coincide, and exerted himself from first to last with great zeal to secure the substitution of our late fel- low citzen SamuelEyington, Esq., (whose ap- pointment was so earnestly desired by many of the mechanics of Washington) for the late military superintendent of the Harper’s Ferry armory. The Blunders of the Telegraph. —We have ascertained that the mistakes in recent special dispatches from this city to the New York Tribune, to which we alluded yesterday, oc- curred in the transmiseion, or in the office in New York, having been correctly sent to the operators. While this explanation is due to our friend who attends to tuat department of the Tribune in this city, the fact ghatthe mis- taker occurred streugthens cur position that the most unreliable thing on earth is “* Wash- iogton newe,”’ by telegraph; as, though when the sender ‘s correct, a mistake almost in- variably oceurs, either of the operator here. or in the telegraph office at the point where de- livered, or at some intermediate telegraph office where transcribed and again sent over the wires, or in the person in the newspaper office who writes out the copy for the compositor from the brief hints to which the cost of send- ing news for the preasthus, necessarily cou- fines telegraphic news for publication in most eases; or, again, in the proof-reader or com- positor who sets it up, usually the last thing done before “locking up the form,” and, therefore, always done in great haste, and on morning papers in New York, shortly before daybreak, when all hands are tired and sleepy. We mention this formidable list of disabilities in the way of insuring the publication of dispatches for the press, as intended by the sender, to prove the soundness of our position that even where the sender is correct, the odds are strongly against the correct publication of what he writes Who, then, wonders that with so many persons engaged in wilfully per- verting the truth from this city, by telegraph, and the difficulties lying in the way of the cor- rect publication of what those send who seek to telegraph thetruth only, the public have cone to understand that the most unreliable thing conceivable is telegraphic news from Wash- ington city” The Case of Mr. Crampton.—We beg leave to call the attention of those American new:- papers who, to be consistent in seeing nothing but evil in anything done by the present Ad- ministration, are doing their best to extenuate the gross offence of the British Minister to the United States, against our neutrality law, in the matter of his participation in the exploded scheme to raise in this country recruits fur the British Crimean army—to the mapper in which the intelligence of the fact has been received in England, as evinced by the com- ments of the London Shipping and Mercan tile Gazette upon it; (that journal being one of high authority in European commercial circles.) Thus it says: “Mr. Cram Washington, whose couduct hey winistey st impugned for sane recrnite in the United States for the British Poreign Le ion, ought at onee to vindicate his oa Sy publicly disclaim any participation in the conspiracy, of whieh hevis accused of being the head. Unless the British Minister is enabled to do this, the suspicions raised against him will become confirmed, and grave consequences may result from the circumstance.” And then after intimating that little re- liance can be placed on the testimony of Cap- tain Strobel, whom it characterizes as “an informer,”’ it adds: “ Although the r part of the evidence requires gar lowe seppeedt the whol i from so tainted a source—should be receiv with suspicion, yet, on account of the nature of the accusation, and the character and po- sition of the parties accused, the charge ought not £0 long to have been treated with official contempt. Captain Strobel, in right of his antecedents, may or may not be entitled toa certain amount of credence and respect; but, putting the captain out of the question, it is the public now who require information. Such a charge—brought against a diplomatic officer of so fair a reputation aud high a posi- tion as Mr. Crampton has long enjoyed and at resent holds—must be met and refuted, un- faa unfortunately, it be true; in which case an official inquiry should at once be institu- ted, and all parties implicated in so illegal and ungraceful a transaction brought to ac- count.’” Passmore Williamson.—This eccentric in- dividual is fast earning, even at the North, tho reputation of being much more of a fool thana martyr. There never was a man more bent on being miserable—on refusing to be comforted ari relieved. Judge Kane has de- cided tha: he need not remain in prison a mo- ment after he will aaswer the questions put t» him by the court, necessary to purge him of the “ contempt’’ for which ho is in custody But as Mr. Williamson’s dignity, or his cranky conscience, or bis violent temper, or something of the sort, intervenes to prevent him from making answer to the questions to which we refer, he must remain in prison un til his common sense gets the better of his sulkiness. Thus his case stands just now. A Busy Eureau.—The new bureau of con- struction of the Treasury Department hag, just now, devolved upon it far more responsibili- ty and labor, we apprehend, than was dream- ed of, when it became necessary to make it a distinct establishment. It is charged with the duty of disbursing some seven millions of dol- lars in all, during the present building soason, on the construction of about seventy edifices for the Government, in all sections of the Union, many of them being works of great ex- tent, science, and cost. Decided.—The Treasury Department have information that the United States District Attorney for California has obtained a judg- ment against Hart Fellows, Surveyor of the Port of San Franciseo, under the last Admin- istration, for a balance of some $4,000 or $5,000 due the Government.

From miscellaneous soure: oo Dergction AND ARREST OF A Steawnoat Taisr.—Cases of robbery of emigrants and un- sophisticated travelers on our steamboats have been more lamentable from the fact, that the pepeue have, with their consummate skill and adroitness, managed to evade detection. It is therefore, with quite a degree of satisfac- tion, that we now record the arrest of one of this class, who was caught on Monday night, during the passage up the river of the steamer Knickerbocker. The victim, on this occasion, was a German emigrant, named (teorge Hub- sohle, who while sleeping on the deck, had his ocket entirely cut out by a person who laid Las beside him, and who gave his name as Elias Oleatt. The German was partly aroused from slumber Ly feeling a hand on his pereon, near his right thigh. and upon becoming fully awake, notived Olcat making away. Informa- tion of the theft was made known to the offi- cers of the boat, and upon Olcatt’s being iden- tified by Hubsohble, he was arrested. That the right party was secured, became 7 Seton in the examination, several witnesses having tes tified that Olcait had spoken to them during the night, saying that be expected to be ar- rested for robbing 2 Dutchman, with the re- quest that (hey would swear him clear. The sam of $11 in gold and silver, and some paz- sage tickets, &v., were taken from his pocket, but nothing was found on Oloatt.—Aliany Ar- AMS. {g* Johu Sneud has beea tried before the Circuit Court at Abingdon, Va, for tie mur- der of Oliver Wright, a colored man.
