The Union reviews the President’s Message, and, in conclusion, says : rate of a ped arr whose terests constitute the primary object of govern- Lem geab= well afford’ in the discharge of his high trust, and ia obedience to their acknowl- edged will, thus to make a formal declaration of the principles by which we may be governed.”’ The same paper treats extensively of the Federal finances. The Intelligencer is occupied mostly by the President’s Mesiage to — 2-0 WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tux Tarirr.—The excitement concerning the proposed revision of the tariff manifested in the House Hall yesterday clearly points to the fact that while a large portion of the mem- bers design essaying this winter again to en- graft the protective system upon the policy of the Government of the United States, those of the body who have been consistent opponents of that policy design standing as firmly by thoir Principles, now, as ever before. In truth, it even so early appears to us that this subject is to be the great bone of contention of the session, overshadowing everything else, save, perhaps, the question of the right of emigrant aid soci- eties to cause territorial laws to be passed vir- tually excluding slavery from all United States Territories that may hereafter be organized, upon which we are happy to be able tosay there seems to be no difference of opinion whatever among those Democrats of Congress who, last winter, struggled shoulder to shoulder against the combined Opposition host, who are, by the by, at this moment as firmly united in favorof. that dogma of Senator Douglas, as their follow- ers were, not long since, in re-electing Messrs. Haskins, Clark, and Hickman, and subse- quently in electing Mr. Wm. Keim, an out and out Republican-party man, as the successor of Mr. J. Glancy Jones trom the former staunch Democratic district of Berks. We regret more than we can express that there should be so wile a difference of opinion among the Democracy on any question as exists with reference to specific duties and the Pacific Failroad question, between the President and @ large portion of those members sincerely and unselfishly attached to him and his Adminis- tration. Nevertheless, thatit was unavoidable, must be evident to all who remember that the views of the Message on those subjects, were steadily and freely avowed by President Bu- chanan previous to his election, while the Con- Bressional dissentients from them have no less steadily and earnestly opposed them whenever, wherever, and by whomsoever avowed. Nevertheless, it is not Possible that this dif- ference of sentiment will extend to apy other subject, or will result in any cessation of the good understanding and kind regard existing between the President and his free trade and anti-Pacific railroad friends, who, one and all, glory as much, in the steady devotion of his Aduwinistration to the interests of Democratic party, a8 in their own opposition to “ protec- tion,” direct or indirect, and to internal im provements by the General Government. Roonsacks om Roornacks.—It seems that there is to be no cessation of the manufacture of Roorbacks in the mint of the Panama-lines- and-Vanderbilt-schemers to Prevent the open- ing of a rival isthmus route for the transporta- tion of passengars to and from California. Yesterday morning's mail returns to this city two of them—the first in part @ revamped one—concocted within the last day or two, at point. They are as follows: “ There isa very decided suspicion bere, uiso. that the men who went out in the Washington, some tweaty days ago,were in reality filibusters; Sod that it was because Capt. Cavendy, of the Hermann, knew they were not intended to be taken from San Juan del Sur that he ordered his Vessel to proceed to San Francisco without ca’l- ing at that port. On the other band, there are some Who believe the five hundred men who went around in the Hermann were fiibusters; that Capt. Cavendy’s order to bis mate Rot to stop at Sao Juan was all a sham, designed to prevent detention by the American armed vessels in the Say of Panama, and that, long before this, they have slipped iuto Nicaragua aud taken Possession ofthe country. 1 vive you these curious suvges- tions for what they are worth. Certainly Capt Caveudy’s abandonment of his Vessel at Panama ‘was a rather singular proceeding »"— Washington correspondence of some New York Paper “It is said that the Pacific mail company will, in connection with the Vanderbilt Interest, open the Nicaraguan transit. The White eanal com- pany has probably failed in an effort to do it, Tom causes independent of the apparent hostility of the Nicarazuan Gavernment..

The stock of the company bas been alresdy taken up to such an extent as to insure the construction of the rail- Toad; and, meanwhile, the company have offered to transport the mail Weekly between San Fran- cisco and New O:leans within twelve days, from Port to port ton, (Washington,) correspond - ence of the Beliimese none rar ay Now, of these roorbacks, we have to say— Ist. That it is utterly untrue that a single fillibuster went out either on the Hermann or the Washington. 2d. That the scheme of Preventing the Her- mann from stopping at San Juan del Sur to take the Washington's passengers from thence to San Francisco, was a trick of the Panama-lines- aad-Vanderbilt schemers to bring about a fir seo in the arrangements of the Nicaragua com- pany to open their route. It was doubtless essuyed by the lavish expenditure of the money paid to the Panama lines by the Government for travsporting the mails. They thus receive of the Government more than $700.000 per an- Bum ; $56,000 of which they pay Vanderbilt monthly for keeping the Nicaragua route closed by and through his efforts to defeat the Policy of this Government in causing it to be re-opened. We learn by a private letter from New York, Teeeived yesterday, that though Captain Ca- vendy did abandon the Hermann at Panama, the faithful second officer of the ship, who was not approachable, strictly carried out his in- structions—sailing for San Juan del Sur to take on board the Washington's passengers. So, whatever the schemers for the continuance of the monopoly paid ia the hope of inducing the sailing of the Hermann for San Francisco direct, Proves to have been so much money thrown away 3. The writer in the New York paper is wrong in stating that Captain Cavendy’s abandon ment of his vessel at Panama was rather asingu- lar Proceeding ; insomuch as it was clearly but # part of ihe same game palpably involved in fee of tnit-ttaténents concerning the charac- ie Ta of tl Vashi Passengers of the W ashington and 4.
