The Union, this morning, bas a significant warning addressed to those Democrats who are ROW opposing, or getting ready to oppose, the recognized policy of their party, that they Must never expect that the party will again entrust its honor to their keeping, or suffer them to exercise any control in the manage- ment of its affairs. The democratic party be- longs to ne politician, or set of politicians; neither is it dependent for its existence, its in- fluence, or its power, upon any politician or set of politicians. It is founded upon great and immutable principles, and for its success and its greatness places its “trust in the intel- ligence, the patriotism, and the discriminating justice of the American people.’ Upon its safety and preservation depends the safety and preservation of the Constitution and the Union. It owes it, therefore, to the country, to the world, and to posterity, to preserve its integ- rity, and in doing so it can know no difference between pretended friends and open enemies. It must class together and treat alike all who ‘War upon its measures and its policy, without regard to past acts or present professions. It is to the pursuit of this policy that it owes the triumphs of the past, and it is only by adhering to it that it can hope for their continuance in the future. Can any man doubt what its course wil! be? The Intelligencer has no editorial to-day. —_— 0 - UG" A company of sappers and miners left West Point, yesterday, for Utah, in command of Capt.

Tue Kansas State Bit 1x tae Hovsr.— Up to the time we went to press to-day no vote decisive of the Kansas State bill had been taken. Mr. Giddings’s motion to reject the bill on the question of its second reading, was then being voted down, apparently by a ma- jority of about thirty, the Republicans and a few nominal Democrats who now “go in with and for them with tooth and toe nail,’’ only voting in its favor. This vote was demonstrating the fact that whenever the House comes to dispose of the naked question, Shall the Kansas State bill pass asitcame from the Senate, it will pass the body without question. Of course this vote against the rejection of the bill was a mere demonstration of its strength on the naked issue, when that shall be made, as it must be ere the close of its con- sideration. In the meantime its opponents will of course strive, by the use of all expédients in their power, to prevent the question from being 80 narrowed down as that the direct test vote we name above, can be had. P. S.—See our Congressional report for later news. Tue Ex-Marsgar asp Ex-Postuasten.— The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian takes occa- sion to say of the late United States Marshal for the District of Columbia, as follows : “The President bas superseded J. D. Hoover, the United States Marshal of the District of Co- Tumbia, and bas reikevphay Mr. Selden, a veteran in Washington circles, in his place. Mr. Hoover was etm eeny, a@ most accomplished and popular officer, and it will be difficult for his suc- cessor to give the same satisfaction. ‘The hosts of our citizens who bave been entertained at his hospitable mansion, his ready and generous at- tentions to strangers, his abie and courteous de- Portment in bis oftice, have endeared him to men of all parties.’? All our respected cotemporary says of Mr. Hoover, as an officer of the Government, is well known to be true by allin this community. He was appointed to this position when almost unknown to the public at large, and, in it, he proved the propriety of his selection for, per- haps the most important office in our midst, winning the confidence and esteem of all in the District of Columbia, without distinction of party, by the manner in which he discharged its duties. Col. James G. Berrett, too, as Postmaster of Washington, though previously known here only as a Federal office holder from the ad- joining State of Maryland, demonstrated by his remarkable efficiency as 4 business man entrusted with very heavy responsibilities, that he 1s well fitted for the discharge of duties of vastly more importance than those from which he was rotated into the Washington City Post Office. No other two gentlemen retire into private life under the official mutations of the times, with more of the regard and osteem of those among whom they have been officially em- ployed. than the two we name above. Taz Iowa Raiteoap.—We mentioned, on Monday, the introduction to Congress, by Mr. Washburne, of Ill., of a resolution providing for an investigation of the matter of the con- struction of a railroad from Dubuque to Sioux city, witha branch to the mouth of Tote des Morts river, by the State of Iowa, to whom Congress had granted public lands for that pur- pose. In the same connection we noticed the recep- tion by Congress of 2 communication from the Interior Department, stating that in the Gen- eral Land Office there is no record of any certi- fication of the grant of lands to the State of Towa, nor is the Department advised of the completion of any part of the road or branch. We also observed that Mr. W.’s resolution was probably ‘‘with a view to the construction of the road by some other method than under the jurisdiction of the State.” . We have subsequently learned that in 1856 the State of Iowa accepted the grant of innd from Congress on the conditions prescribed, and hag since assigned the same to the Du- buque and Pacific Railroad Company, in whom it is asserted, the title to the lands has thus become vested. Also, that this latter company has long ago filed in the General Land Office, the necessary maps of the location of the road and branch, that these have been accepted, and that the company is now constructing the road in good faith, with a view to its comple- tion within the ten years allowed and in ac- cordance with the grant. Thus it would seem that the matter has passed beyond the control of Congress, unless the conditions of the act granting the lands shall not ultimately be com- plied with, and the result of this investigation will, therefore, amount to nothing. Parext Law Reroru.—The Committee on Patents of the House have reported back the Patent-Law-Reform bill of the Hon. Mr.Taylor of N. Y.. (Brooklyn,) with amendments (in the nature of a substitute) which amount to the enforcement of the attendance of witnesses, the creation of a board of three chief examiners. the augmentation of the salary of the chief commissioner, the power to restore models to inventors and to dispense with models where drawings are sufficient, the equalization and reduction of fees, the regulation and economy of printing expenses, the giving of proper notice to the public when extensions are applied for, and the modification of the act of 1542 in regard to the labeling of patented articles. One of their proposed amendments contem- plates making the decisions of the Commissioner of Patents final—taking away the right of ap peal to the District Courts of the United States— a provision, it seems to us, fraught with evil consequences. The bill of Mr. Taylor embraced many valuable provisions, most of which have been preserved in this substitute which is founded on that basis. We regret, however, that it embraces this provision, likely as itis towork much more evil than good. Matt Lerrinas.—In accordance with the published notices the receipt of proposals for carrying the mail on the routes in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and California, and the Territories of Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, Utah and New Mexico, closed yesterday. The bids in the hands of the Department will be opened and the contracts awarded during the present month, and they will go into operation on the Ist of July next. In this connection we may add that it is a matter of sincere regret that the passage of the General Deficiency bill now before the House of Representatives should have been delayed on account of the Kansas imbroglio. Among its items is an appropria- tion for the paymentof the claims of certain mail contractors, now about due, and the busi- ness of the Post Office Department will be seriously interfered with by the tardiness of Congress in disposing of the bill. A farther and more palpable inconvenience, arising from the same source, is that it will not be in the Laker’ of the Department to meet the payments jor the quarter just ex; as ay as desirable. i ag ad Tus U.S. Crecurr Court vor rue Soutn- WESTERN District—Tux Prosecution oF Waker, tax Fininuster.—We olip the fol- lowing announcement from the New Urleans Picayune: U.S. Circert Co — Present, Judges Camp- bell and McCaish.—On the opening of the Coury this morning ee Campbell remarked to the bar that his object in coming was to make some arrangement in regard to the business of the en- suing A term. That he was compelled to attend an adjourned term of the Supreme Court of the United States on the first Monday in April, and that he would probably be detained there until some time in May. it, on consultation with bis associate, they bad determined that the law docket of ‘civil causes should be taken upfor trial as usual on the opening of the term; but that no case id be pressed for trial until his arrival, nor would the cases upon the criminal and chancery dockets be called for trial until then, both judges preferring that at the annual term on which the law requires their altendance the business should be disposed of by a full court. Judge Campbell will leave to-day for Washing- ton city. Among the criminal cases to which this para- graph refers are those against Walker, the fili- buster, and others concerned with that indi- vidual. “Sriuu Harpixa on My Davanter.”’—The Hon. N. P. Tallmadge, it seems, continues to be the valiant knight of the mistress of his latter days—Spiritualism. At the recent cele- bration of St. Patrick’s day in this city, Gen. James Shields—genuine Irishman as that gen- tleman is—took occasion to let his wit flow generously, with the wine, and inthe course of its overflow, it drenched the venerable ex-Sen- ator and ex-Governor’s love named above. AS will be perceived from the letter from the lat- ter, on the outside of to-day's Star, he takes fire at the insinuation against the eternal truth of his dogma, which the General unfortunately uttered. As anything from the pen of Mr. Tallmadge is deemed by the public of interest, we present his epistle to the Star’s readers, with the simple remark that—so far as the al- leged offence of General Shields is concerned, he seems bent on raising a tempest in a tea-pot, if not on making a mountain out of a mole hill. Nortuern Mexico.—The following brief article we republish from the Philadelphia Ledger, of the 29th ult., as being the best expose that has met our eye of the actual po- litical condition of Northern Mexico, and of the prospect of its immediate future : A Nortugry Mexican Rervs! fortunate position in which the Mexican Repub- lic is placed by civil discord aud revolutionary acts is producing the natural fruits of such weak- ness, instability and insecurity, and the nation ix falling to pieces. Various successful revolution- ary designs have been carried into effect. In So- nora the party adverse to the yovernment do not Pret@Mi taconceal their purpose of establishing a separate State, and the Northern States gener- ally are united with a view of establishing a Northern Mexican republic. The States out of which the new republic is to be formed are al- ready in open revolution against the central gov- ernment, and have invited assistance from the United States. Parties are already preparing to goto their aid from Texas, and the filibusters enerally will be glad to lend their assistance. s Soy? avowedly go as emigrants and without arms, it will be difficult to prevent this kind of aid from being given, however much our Govern- ment may be disposed to enforce the neutrality laws, and to respect the integrity of Mexiao. This design of the republic of the Sierra Madre has long been entertained, and the distracted condition of the country favors it greatly Prac- tically the separation exists now, and the com- merce and trade of the Rio Bravo are entirely re- lieved of the heavy restrictions of the Mexican tariff. The formal separa: will soon be offi- ally made, and then will coine the struggle to ntain their independence If they succeed in doing so, there is but little doubt what the final course of events will be—Texas is an example, and annexation to the United States is inevitable. Our Government owes it, as a rk to Mexico, to see that this dismemberment of her territory ix not scoomplshed by movements from this side of the Rio Bravo. While it cannot prevent revo- lution in Mexico, it can prevent any open inter- ference to that end from our own citizens upon our own territory. Mr. Peave, or tue Patent Orrice.—A friend of thie gentleman writes us as follows : The article copied into the Star from the Re- public newspaper respecting Mr. Peale, does him great injustice. He has never taken part in poli- Ucs, und has nosympathy or connection with any abolition movement. . He is the youngest soa of the soldier-artist, the companion and painter of the portraits of Wash- ington, and brother of Rembrandt Peale, the cel- ebrated artist, who has recently delighted our citizens with a lecture on the “ portraiture of Washington.’’ Mr. Peale was born in Philadel- sn and early imbibed from bis father and rothers a taste for science and the fine arts, and has devoted his lifeexclusively to these pursuits. While a mere lad, be accompanied Major Long on his celebrated journey tothe Rocky Mountains; afterwards circumnavigated the glove as one of the naturalists of the U.S Exploring Expedition, and for the last few years has oceupied the re- Beet position of one of the Chief Examiners of the Patent Oftice. We doubt not tois attempt of the Republic newspaper to injure a most estimable and highly respected gentleman will be ineffectual, since bia removal! from office on the ground stated, would be an act of injustice and a detriment to the pub- lic service. Tue U.S. rrigate Coupertanpy.—Oar tel- egraphic dispatches yesterday of fureign news by the Persia stated that the frigate Cumber- lund had suffered considerable damage during a burricane at Madeira, and was for a time in cons derable peril, and that two men were lost overboard. Letters were this morning received in this city from on board the Cumberland, dated at Funchal, Madeira, stating that so severe a gale had never before been known there. Of three vessels driven upon shore two were dashed to pieces within five minutes time, and the other was thrown up high and dry, a complete wreck. Four guns were thrown overboard from the Cumberland, and some damage was done to the spars and rigging, but no lives were lost. Two men were washed overboard, but were recov- ered. A number of lives were lost from mer- chant vessels in the harbor. Ee No weathor dispatch received at the Smithsonian to-day.

Ix THE Senate, yesterday, after our report closed, the bill for the admission of Minnesota ‘was continued until a late hour. Several amendments were offered, and one al- lowing the State two representatives was agreed to The Senate adjourned, however, without action on the bill. In THE House, in the Committee of the Whole on the Deticiervy bill, the Kansas question was debated by Messrs. Miles, Zollicotter. Niblack, Ward, Trippe, Burlingame, Parrott, Groesbeck, Morse, Hatch, Marshall of Lil., Hughes, Tappan; Letcher, and Walton. In the course of bis remarks, Mr. Hatch said none knew so weil as the anti Lecompton De, crats that the only way to keep from being read out of the Democratic party was to s! in it. He thought they did not carry with them all the patriotism of the party. He contended that the right to change constitutions was inberent and unalienable; that it was neither rebellion or revo- lution, and that it was an essential and funda- mental principle in our Government—a lovical and resulting power from the conceded doctrine of popalar sovereignty ‘To admit a power of limitation in constitution, or in Legislature, was an invasion of the sovereignty of the people— a usurpation that would lead to dexpotism. He-produced authorities to show that this doc- trine was established by writers before the Rev- olution, and recogni: by all the Presidents, from Washington to Buchanan. He contended that the people of Kansas could change the con- stitution as soon as udmitted to conform to the will of the majority, irrespective of their consti- tution or recommendation of Legislature. He briefly referred to the circumstances preceding the application of Kansas for admiss on to show that the constitution was such as to entitle that Territory to admission as a State. He found it sufficiently regular for the vote he was about to give, and that the Free-State party, by the vote they gave on the 4th of January, recognized that constitution. The House adjourned about a quarter of one o’clock this morning. Proceedings of To-day. In tmz Sunartx, to-day, the only business transacted of interest to the Star’s readers, ere it ‘went to press, was the report made by Mr. Brown from the District of Columbia Committee, ac- companied by a bill for the nization of an Ant! itary guacd in the District of Colaumbia,and other regulations. In tu Houss, Mr. Mayna-d offered a resol - tion, which was adopted, instructing the Com- mittee for the District of Columbia to inquire into the efficiency of the present police force for the preservation of peace, and the protection of persons and property in the so Son! Vashington, and whether it is expedient for Congress to adopt measures to increase the officers thereof. a Oe Wright, of Gedrgia, said the Committee already have the subject before them f The House p: led to tuke up Senate bills from the bes table. ‘The joint resolution relative to admiral of the Turkish navy a was laid on the table Department.) ‘umerous bills were appropriately referred The House took ape Senate bill, for the con- demnation of certain lands for the perros of the Washington Aqueduct; and referred jt to the Committee for the District of Columbia, with leave to report at any time. Mr. Haskins read from a paragraph in the New York Herald a statement to the effect that he had gone over to the Republicans, &c. Mr. H. said the writer of that article was a ‘‘thief of charac- ter,”? and he moved that the Doorkeeper be di- rected to show him the door.

The bill being read a second time— Mr. parent said he understood that the op- ponents of the bill had a substitute to offer; he would not, tnerefore, discuss the bill, but give way to the reception of the substitute. Mr. Montgomery then offered, as a substitute, the amendment of the substitute offered in the Senate by Mr. Crittenden, emanating, it is stated from tLe Anti-Lecompton Democratic Confer- ence. Mr. Montgomery said he did not mean to de- bate the substitute; it spoke for itself.
