THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY .........-...---+- May 10, 1860, Spirit of the Morning Press. The Constitution treats upon the unanimity of the Southern Democracy on principle. The Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional Proceedings and news. ——+20e- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —>—_ Tre Convention tn BaLTimorE continues to be the subject of most current interest in the Fed- eral metropolis. The high personal and historical character of a large number of its delegates causes its deliberations to be viewed with more respect- ful attention by the politicians of both the great Parties surrounding us, than they would other- wise receive. The character of the Convention is thas certainly giving weight to the party it repre- seats, which, under ordinary circumstances, is not credited with the possession of strength anywhere rendering it likely that it might carry in Novem- ber a single electoral vote. Nevertheless, the state of uncertainty existing as to the future of the Democratic party, and as to the nomination and platform to be made at Chicago, aided by the character of the Convéntion itself as explained above, are inducing all the many Presidential as- Pirants and the followers of their individual for- tunes, who are as ‘plentiful as blackberries in season,”’ to watch for the development of the policy of the Constitutions! Union party with evi- dent uneasiness and anxiety. It was generally thoug bt here last night that General Sam Houston, than whom no other American public man has had fortune more invariably upon his side, would receive their nomination, being regarded as the culy gentleman seriously named in connection with their candidacy, likely to bring substantial strength to their cause. The great age of Judge McLean, and the fact that a considerable wing of the Republican party are seeking to compass his nomination by the Chicago Convention, render the idea of his selec- tion as their standard-bearer inadmissable with a reat majority of the delegates from the States whieh the (Constitutional-Union) party hope to carry in November, in the event of the expected break-up of the Democratic organization. Their theory is that an opposition candidate directly or indirectly identified with the Republican party will bave as little chance of carrying either Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, or North Caro- Jina, as any Democratic nominee could have of carrying Vermont; a sensible conclusion. truly. We trust that General Houston may be honored with their nomination if there be any possible chance of their success in the final cut, shuffle, and deal in the House of Representatives, to which it is by no means unlikely the current presidential game may come at last. His six years service asthe Chief Magistrate of the Ke- public of Texas certainly proved him to be one of the best administrative officers our country has yet produced —conservative, clear-headed, un- yielding, and an uncompromising and inveterate foe to every species of otticial corruption or short- comings. While differing from him in politics, we do not feel at liberty to deny to him the pos- session of those qualities in an eminent degree; than which there are no important requisites for the Presidency, in times like the present. All the parties will be lucky, if securing candidates in whose hands, in case of election, the country’s interests would be as safe as in those of Houston. a Taz Cutcaco Nomination.—Senator Wade, of Obio, 1s certainly looming up into great promi- nence as an aspirant for the Chicago presidential nomination. It is evident that he isto dispute it most seriously with Mr. Seward,—Chase, Banks, Cameron, ¢¢ ai, having fallen completely into the back ground tn the course of the last fortnight. The Republican party wire-workers now here, and their name !s legion, who oppose Mr. Sew- ard’s nomination, are rapidly concentrating upon Mr. Wade as the candidate with whom they can possibly beat Mr.S. without losing, in November, a large portion of the ultra anti-slavery vote. The fact that Judge McLean's nomination would Prove intensely objectionable to that wing of their forces, is already understood to have settled the question against hinr. Indeed, none of the Republican party politicians in Washington, ex- cept the few of them who Profess intense conser- vatism on the slavery question, dream that he could be nominated at Chicago without driving off five abolition votes for every conservative oppo- ition vote his name would bring to their ticket. We still continue to believe that Mr. Seward ‘will be their nominee, because he is confessedly their great representative man. There is nota point about him rendering bim unacceptable to any of his party which does not likewise attach to Senator Wade, the bitterness of whose political bearing renders him, indeed, much more repug- nant to those of his party not favoring political Sewardism, than Mr. Seward himself; who, while holding extreme views, Manages to render bim- self as popular as a-gentleman, with those differ. ing from bim,as Mr. Wade manages to render Limself personally unpopular with those not en- dorsing bis politics. Were aught to be gained by substituting Wade for Seward, the efforts being made here to that end might succeed. But as it is clear that the former cannot command an electoral vote that is not equally as sure for the latter, if nominated, that fact, we take it, will in- sure his nomination; the only plea upon which itis Proposed to throw him overboard being that the Chicago Convention must cater to catch conser va- tive votes. The idea of baiting any such hook with Senator Wade, is, indeed, so preposterous, 2s thatall here are now beginning to comprehend the utter folly of trolling after anysuch fish. The truth is, the coming presidential contest must be foucht by the two great parties fairly and squarely on their distinctive Principles and policies. The Democracy, where it can Bive electoral votes, do not more emphatically demand that their candidate shall stand as unequivocally opposed to slavery restriction, than the Republican party, where. they can give electoral votes, demand that their candidate shall be an embodiment of « Irrepres- sible conflictism.” SS Tux Desare ron tux Sexate Cavcus Reso- LuTions, as far as it has progressed, should be sufficient to satisfy the most incredulous that the ‘South regard the squatter Sovercignty heresy with @ much aversion es Wilmot Tepresented u he other side. ‘Im for a penny, in for a pored, is an adage that helds good in politics, as in other matters, leading men step by step into Positions they would have been most likely to eschew had they dreamed, when taking the first step, whither were re tracking.

XXXVith CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. eee Preceedings of Yesterday Afternoon. ——_>-__ IN THE SeNATE, yesterday, after our report closed, the Senate Homestead bill was discussed on numerous propositions and amendments by Senators Grimes, Green, Fitch, Mason, Wade, Wilkinson, Pugh, Rice, and others, the friends of the measure being determined to pass the bill, and its opponents to defeat it if possible, the yeas and nays being takea on motions to adjourn, to lay the bill on the table, to send for absentees, &c., amounting to near twenty such votes in the aggregate. Among these motions was one by Mr Hammond that the Sergeant-at-Arms request the attendance of absent Senators, which was lost by a vote of 33 pays to 15 y . Mr. Douglas rose at ten minutes past 8 o’clock, and observed that, with a view to relieve the Scn- ate from its present dilemma, he would defer his urpose of speaking on the resolutions of Mr avis until Monday next, thus giving the friends of the bill an opportunity of bringing it up to morrow (to-day) as unfinished business. And the Senate adjourned Tue Hovsy, being in committce of the Whole, and havinz resumed the cousideration of the Tariff and Loan bill, the bill was further disenssed under five minutes’ rule, and several amendments, mod- Je or the tariff in rd to various articles, were Atong the numerous amendments proposed was one offered by Mr. Foster, of Maine, to give no- tice to the British goverament with a view to the termination of the reciprocity trea which w; jected. rhe bill having been read through— Mr. Florence gave notice of a substitute, which he said would greatly simplify the law, and would be more likely to meet the concurrence of the Senate than the pending bill.
