New York, Political Movements at Washington. We understand by our private correspondence from Wa » that amid the dost and smoke ri Houses of Congress—under cover of the alities f the cussion of 1 Oregon questio: is a great , Tuesday, February 4, 1845, growing out Ding oO amongst the igements various cliques of both the great political parties— r which constitute arrangements of that charac! the uader-current of politics, all looking and tend- eesion and Presi- ing to get a position for the su dential election in 1848. Amongst the democratic cliques, this under-cur- rent has been gradually and steadily flowing for some time past; indeed, we may say from the com- _Mmenceiment of the session. But it is now begin- ning to show itself more distinctly during the last few days. This is particularly observable from the columas of the Richmond Enquirer, whose editor is generally well informed as to the private intrigues and movements of his own party in Washington — lt appears that amongst the democratic cligues, the two principal candidates for succession, whose re- spective friends are now endeavoring to put them in a position in anticipation of the usual nomination of the democratic party, forthe election in’48—are, Mr. Calhoun on one side, and Silas Wright on the other. There is a second cross, or second race of candidates, such as Genera! Cass, James Bucha- nan, Thomas Hart Benton, and many others, but the two principal candidates for the position—for it is only position yet, are Silas Wright and John C. Calnoun, whose friends are busy making and ma- neuvering in both branches of Congress, and en- deavoring by their tactics to get the weather-gage of each other in relation to the political movements ef the day, within the bosom of the democratic party. Both these cliques will endeavor to acquire an sscendancy over the administration of Mr. Polk, in order to obtain the vantage ground by which their friends may obtain and hold office throughout the country—and thereby prosecute the movements in favor of their respective candidates for the succession. This combined movement of each section, for the spoils and for the succession, will give interest and edge to every thing here- after relative to men and measures connected with the democracy at Washington and elsewhere. On the other hand, the whig party, although they have been very quiet during the last f¢w weeks, being almost only Jookers on in Vienna, yet their repose has only bven in appearance. They are also seek- ing—each clique for its own favorite—a “position” for the election in 1848. Mr. Webster has been re-elected to the United States Senate, and is now in Washington. General Scott isin the field of action at all times. Mr. Clay is in retirement, it 1s true, but still he has his representatives in the capitol. Others of the whig leaders no doubt have their friends; but these three that we have named —Scott, Webster, and Clay—may be considered the principal men of the whig party for the succes- sion, for we do not believe that Mr. Clay, although the chances are against him, has given up all his hopes of running again. On the other hand, Mr. Webster, from the various movements which his friends have made in the east, with the view of healing the differences between the abolitionists and the whigs, is undoubtedly preparing to take & position, and a strong position, for the contest of °48. The friends of General Scott are not so open- ly active, but there is a spirit breaking out in dis- tant parts of the country—a sort of popular gpirit, similar to that which prepared the way for the triumph of General Harrison—which indicates a preference for General Scott hereafter, and may, according to the progress of events, take a very prominent hold upon the public mind in less than two years. One peculiar feature of the Whig policy during the present session, is the extreme moderation manifested towards the administration of Mr. Polk This is a feature quite novel in the action of poli- tics at Washington. As far as we can remember, Mr. Webster took a similar p on during the ad- ministration of General Jackson, to whom he man- ifested strange signs of friendliness, which we are inclined to believe eontributed ina great degree to give a strong impulse to the popularity of the old hero. If a certain section of the Whig party of the present day should give the administration of Mr. Polk a fair and honorable support, without the as- perities of party or the indulgence of any of that out-and-out opposition which has heretofore mark- ed the Whig party, it might have a very serious effect upon the succession in three or four years. Mr. Polk is pledged not to be a candidate a second time. With the cliques of his own party struggling to acquire an ascendancy over his administration, on one side, and a large portion of the whigs endeavoring to conciliate him on the other, itis very possible that Mr. Polk may moderate his party feeling toa great extent—giving us a national adininistration—and have, in fact the power of determining who willsucceed him. In all these contests between the two great parties in this country, we have seen in the case of Mr. Ty ler, how little it takes to decide the matter either way. We believe that the whole influence of Mr. ‘Tyler’s administration did not amount to much, but yet it was sufficient to give a preponderance to the democratic party in carrying the election of Mr. Polk. If Mr. Polk chooses to use the power and inflaence which the presidency deposits in his hand, he can determine who hissuccessor will be— whether it will be Calhoun, or Silas Wright, or General Scott, or any other man that may come up regularly as the candidate of his party in 1848. Allthese movements, speculations, ard ideas, are now inastate of ebullition in Washington, and will have a material effect on the legislation of Congress, for it may be said that all the legislation will be directed towards the great point of the succession. Texas Mertine Turs Arrernoon —Following up the movement in Tammany Hall, the Democra- ey of the city im favor of Texas, have called a great meeting in the Park this afternoon, their fiery zeal being quite proof against the coldness of the weather. This will tend to widen still more the breach between the two cliques or sections, which may be called the anti-Texas and abolition clique, represented by the Morning News and Evening Post, and the Texas and anti-abolition clique repre- sented by the Plebetan The bitterness of feeling between these rival factions, is at this moment more intense than that existing between the whigs and loco focos. The full effects of this faed are yet tobe seen. Itis not at all unlikely that it will tend to secure to the whigs supremacy in the State of New York at least. Lectures on THE Necro Rack.—We under- stand that Mr. Grant, a scientific gentleman, who recently exhibited the Drummond Light in this city, is about to deliver a series of lectures oa the ethnography of the African race. He will com- menace with an examination of the earliest histo- rical records of the haman race in Africa, Egyp', and Asia, and show that the African race is alto- gether separate and distinct from the Egyptian. In illustrating this branch of his subject, Mr. Grant will give a great deal of curious and novel infor- mation, derived from an attentive and intelligent examination of the monumental and historical re- cords of Egypt. He wiil also, probably, show the utter impossibility of the African and European races living on terms of social and political equa- lity in the samecouniry. The lectures will be delivered at the Society Library, and will be an. sounced in due time. Texas IN THe LeorsLaturs.—The Senate, on Saturday, refused, by a large majority, to make the Texas resolution the special order of the day for ‘Monday reur Roornack Getrine Anory!—The highly respectable Roorbacks of the Albany Eve- ning Journal have recently, it seems, been very atieative to the columns of the Herald, perusing its contenis with « great degree ef. accuracy and re- search. Weare very glad to see this disposition in our respected Contemporaries, and hope it may have some good effect upon them in the way of telling the truth and sticking to matters of fact. It seems that, after a great deal of pains and trouble and sweating, they have discovered two slight mis- takes during the last many months in the columns of the Herald. One of these errors, it is alleged, has been committed by an Albany correspondent who has mistaken Mr., Lee, of Westchester, for Mr. Lee, of Erie, in the Assembly—a very mo- mentous blunder, certainly, in the estimation ot these who can publish forged extracts attributing them tothe London Times, and gulp down Roor- backs by the column. But the truth happens to be that our correspondent is not mistaken at all—he has not fallen even into this very trifling error— and the impadence and falsehood of the Evening Journal, ia making the assertion, are only worthy of that bronzedand Roorbackish concern. Another mistaxe is found in the correspondence from Cla- verack, relative to the anti-rent outrages. Our correspondent had the information probably at ee- cond hand, and gave the best intelligence withm his reach. All these attempts to impugn the accuracy, in- dustry, enterprise, and onward progress of the Herald on the part of such miserable and con- temptible Roorbacks and impudent fellows as ma- nage the Albany Evening Journal, are certainly laughable enough. That print, during the last sum- mer, was defeated at all points, and is now hooted and contemned by all honest and decent men, and now the poor creatures, after pour- ing over the Herald for months, and disco- vering one trivial error, at once fell into ecstatic paroxyms which resemble very much the wrig- glings of an eel under the process of skinning. They say, also, that the correspondence, which we publish in this journal, is manufactured here ! If such were the fact, it would only prové the ex- traordinary, and almost superhuman talent of its editor, the person who is capable of conducting, with such undeviating regularity, and such perfect accuracy, a correspondence, embracing almost every conceivable subject, and from all paits of the world. A more ridiculous attempt, however, to impugn the accuracy of our intelligence, and to cast discredit on our varied and valuable corres- pondence was never made, and every body laughs at it. But in all this there is nothing new. The ac- knowledged superiority of this journal, in every element of a newspaper, has long since stung to the quick such miserable creatures asthe Roor- backs ofthe Evening Journal. While they have neither the enterprise, talent, or ability to emn- late, they attempt to depreciate by lying and scur- rilous abuse. But we ask the intelligent reader to look at all the improvements introduced into news- paper business in this country, and say which of them did not originate with this establishment 1 Look at our private express to New Orleans, which has driven the Post office Department itself to make some sort of effort in the way of bringing on the mails with greater expedition than hereto- fore! Look at the numerous expresses which we ran, about a year ago from Boston, on the arriv val of the steamships, which also drove the Post office Department into the necessity of establishing a government express to this city on the arrival of the steamers from England! All the improve- ments connected with the newspaper press, which have developed themselves during the last few years in this country, have had their origin in this establishment; and on this point we defy contra- diction. Asto the attempts of the “Albany Eve- ning Journal to stop our course, we laugh at them, and cast them back with scorn. Lecture on Burr anp BLENNERMASSETT.—Mr. Willian Wallace gives a very curious lecture to. night at the Berian Institute, on certain passages in the lives of Aaron Burr and of H. Blennerhas- set, illustrated by the original letters and papers lett by the latter to his son. The following are some of these curious papers :— [Original Letter of A. Burrto H. Blennerhasset.) Franxrort, 9th Nov., 1806. My Dean Sim :— My last from Lexington was written at the moment of closing the mail. Neither the time nor my imperfect in- formation eliowed me to do more than simply to commu- nicate the fect of a prosecution. A few hours later, hav- ing received a correct account of the state of things, I sent a messenger to Frankfort with a letter to a friend, to be shown to the Judge, saying thet I was ready to meet any prosecution, and that if he would delay giving judg- ment till | could reach Frankfort, I would lorihwi pay my respects to him. The judgment was postponed, | came hither, went into Court, invited an investigation in any form, provided it were prompt. The Judge refused to grant a warrant, but directed that a Grand Jury should be: moned, which was instantly done. The Attorney of the United States asked six days to collect his witness- es. To this I assented, and on Thursday next the inquiry will commence. T have nothing to apprehend from prejudice. The Jury are intelligent and impartial men—public sentiment is in my favor—there can be no doubt of a favorable issue. The detention is extremely inconvenn to me, but neither this nor any other circumstance connected with the pro- secution will impede the pi of my intended estab. ishments on the Washita. My great, my only solicitade for youand Mrs.B. You will shortly hear from me more fully and I trust more satistactorily. Dieu Vous Benisse. A. BURR. H. Biennennassett, Esq An Unpublished Poem of Campbell. {The following poem, the composition of the late Thomas Campbell, was found by Mr. Wallace among the papersof Blennerhasset, accompanied by the latter’s own music. The poem now for the first time 18 published.] “SONS OF CHIFFS RENOWNED IN STORY.” A Lyric, written by Thomze Campbell, in honor of the old Scattish Legion, which returned blind from Egypt. renowned in story ! jose feme is heard efar!

Gardens er, Capt. James Pedersen, a regular packet be- tween New York and Hondaras. It will be recol- lected that the John R. Gardener was dismasted in the gale of Oct. 6, and that the brigs Aranda, and Florido Blanco, belonging to B. Blanco, Esq, of this city, were totally wrecked, and all hands lost. Ia consequence of those disasters, Capt. P. has de- termined to have a life boat He states, that if the Aranda and F. Blanco had been supplied with one ortwo, not a soul would have been lost. The boat for the J. R. Gardener is 19 feet 6 inches long, iscapable of carrying 2200 Ibs, with her plugs out, and when full of water will free herself in jess than one minute. The materials are of the best white cedar and oak, copper fastened and rivetted throughout, and the air sections are copper, tinned over. She did not cost much—but little more than | the ordinary boats, She was made by C. L. Inger- } soll, of this city. : Drvetormenrs at WasHINGTON—PIcKInes anp Sreauinas in tue Nava Service.—The Committee on Accounts of Congress have signal. ized themselves in bringing to light the recent doings of the Clerk of the House of Representa. tives. That explosion took the country by surprise, but we believe the same gentlemen are now en- gaged on a much richer subject, and we anticipate in ashort time a regular earthquake in the way of an exposure of the picking and stealing 1m a very important part of the public service—the navy. The gentlemen who have undertaken this business, ought to be known to the country, for they have commenced a rigid examination of this branch of the public service, which will redound greatly to their credit. Here are thenames:—Hon. James G. Clinton, Hon. James Matthews, Hon. Wm. J. Wright, Hon. Geo. Fuller, Hon. Jacob Yost, Hon. Smith M. Purdy, Hon. Henry Grider, Hon. Geo. Sykes, Hon. Perley B. Johnson. The developments in the case of McNulty are trifling when compared with those which these honorable and industrious gentlemen have lighted upon, in relation to the naval expenditures during some of the Florida campaigns. We have a report of Mr. Reding on this subject, and an examination of it by Mr. McLaughlio, with a “card” of Mr. Winder in reply—all extremely interesting read- ing. As specimens take the following items :— Grovrsor Aaticiys FoR THe Sick, TAKEN FROM LizuT McLavoniin’s Voucnexs on rite in THE Fourtn Av- pitor’s Orricr.

The “two bottles of bitters” is quite an amusing item, when contrasted with the formidable list of porter, wines, brandy, whiskey, and gin, that precedes it, and reminds one of Fal- staft’s pennyworth of bread to his many gallons of sack. And then the comforts for the sick—solid, substantial, tangible ‘‘comforte””—and the delicious “syrups”—and the “‘arsorted sweetmeats”—hea- ven reward him! what a dear, kind, considerate hospital-steward was this Lieut. McLaughlin! We trust the committee will go on and give us a full development of all of these expeditions into Florida. Ifthe people pay millions to extirpate an Indian tribe, they ought at least to have the plea- sure of knowing how the money is expended. Let us have the whole exposé, in order to guide alj ten- der-hearted naval officets and ecenomical/admin- istrations hereafter. Sacrzp Concert —A concert was given last evening at the Church of the Redemption, in Sixth street, in aid of the funds of that establishment. Not having taken the precaution to provide him. self with a ticket, our musical reporter wasstopped at the door, and told that he could not go in, as strict orders had been given to admit no one with- outa ticket, when the following conversation took places— Rerorrer—But I belong to the press, and wish to pase in for the purpese of making a notice of the concert. ee Door-Kesrep—Cant’t help it, sir. Just refused to let in the wife of a deacon of the church because she had no ticket. ie Reporter—But I am not the wife of a deacon; and besides, it isn’t usual to refuse the Herald ad- mission any where. yi Door-xeerer—Yes, I know, but this is a sacred concert, sir. Rxprorter—So much the better. The Herald 1s doing more for religion than a whole vestry room of deacons. But,as youplease. I have paid a shilling for my ride up and back, which you can have for the benefit of the church by applying to the railroad company. Good evening. i A sub-committee man, who had been an inter- ested auditor, now intertered and concluded that the reporter might pass in. The splendid quartett from Newkomm’s Mount Sinai, ‘Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy Statutes,” was just commen- cing, and it was evident that the audience had not taken a very strong liking to the manner of the riormance. This was followed by a general se- lection of airs, recitatives and chorussesirom Han- del, Haydn, &c., which did not exhibit the pow- ers of the ae ina very favorable light. The alto was too sharp, the tenor both two flat and too sharp, and the soprano (who has a pretty good voice, but quite uncultivated) was laboring not very successfnily with the majestic music of her art. But the chorussus were indescribabl bed, and their unparalleled discords created asaud- der through the house. The organ, which is a very sweet-toned instru. ment, was admirably played by Mr. Timm, and the audience were highly delighted with this part of the entertainment. “Tue Or Contracts.”—It will be seen that notwithstanding the expectations of a vast crowd that was collected in the Board of Assistants’ room last evening, in antipation of hearing some extra- ordinary revelations in relation to the celebrated ‘oil contracts,” which has now caused so much gossip and speculation, the Board, after ‘choking down” Mr. Charlick’s second resolution of enquiry and accepting amock report, adjourned at about eight o’clock. This looks rather suspicious, but it is expected the epring election will throw some “new light on the subject,” when it is expected the con- stituency of this large metropolis will not allow these “oil contracts,” and many other matters con- nected with the present administration of the City Government, to ‘“‘slip through their fingers.” Nominations aT ALBANY.—The whig and demo- cratic members of the legislatnre held their cau- cuses in Albany, on Saturday, to nominate candi- dates for United States Senators, and State offi- cers. Here is a list of the nominations :— Officers. Whig Dem. U »® Senate John C. Clark, D. 8. Dickinson, Secretary of State, Arch’d Mcintyre, N.#. Benton, Comptroller, Sam B Ruggles, A.C. Flavg, Attorney General, B.D Noxen, J Van Buren, Treasurer, J.W. Sherman, —_ Benj. Enos Com. General, Isaac Teller, Henry Storms, Suc. General, Edward Dodd, Hugh Halsey, University Regents,James Stevenson, M Van Buren. Dudley Selden, Wm. C. Bouck. We insert the name of Mr. Dickinson in the above, although he wasnominated a week or two ago. Wetcu’s Nationat Circus, Parx.—So far the General has been highly successful in his endea- vors to please the public—indeed, it could not be otherwise with his unrivalled troupe. Notwith- standing the unfavorable state of the weather, the house has been well filled since it has opened un- der his auspices. There is an entire change of performance for the present week, which willbe as well worth witnessing as those of the previous. The feats are so truly astonishing that they must be seen to beeredited. Durr en IN TRxas.— pondent of the Mobile Register seems to give a more correct account of the cause of Daff Green’s trouble in Texas than any we have seen. It is au- nexed :— The political news here is of no interest. You will have heard of the controversy between President Jones and Duff Green. The papers centaining it went by me ‘as | was crosaing the Gult. The true history is a myau- ry. The current explanations hardly account for the acts of either party. On the side of the Preaideut, it is alleged that Green approsched him either to a:certain views or secure his aid in the pasaage of some law, char- tering a great Land Company, with some im @ privi- leges, nomewh: re off in the west of Tex«s. It is said tha: Jones repelled the proposition and in fact announced his determined hostility, warning Green that the veto power would net fail to be used to deteat the pill. Madume Ru mor, speaking through the mouths of the friends of the executive, says that Green hoe or threatened loudly to al to tae people, and of overthrowing the stration and revolutionizing parties, af not gover me: Whereupon Jones issued a proclamation, reve- king the exequator of Green as Consul at Galveston, for reasons affecting the “interest, honor, and safety” of th: Republic These expressions of the proclamation are 80 singularly inappropriate to the case which rumor pre sents, that it is impossible to believe that the story istru ly told—and Gen. Green declares that he misunder stood aad is misrepresented, that the controversy is pare ly private and personal, and the British Minister hn- something to do wit! romises an exposition, which yeu may probal pefore this reaches you The proclamation revoking his exequator av Consul ha» been suspended for the present. Tue Weatuer.—The weather was milder last evening than on Sunday. The severity of the col: of the last few days has been experienced else- where. {From Providence Journal, Feb. be z After a winter thus far, of almost unprecedented mild. ness, the weather has become very cold, and is felt the more severely from the contrast. It is now ‘fine grow ing weather” for ice, the ‘‘ crop” of which, at onetime, we feared would be a short one. {From Boston Courier, Feb. 8.] "The weather, since Thursday night, has been approach- ing pretty near to what may be called our coldest weather In Cambridge, on Friday evening at 8 o’clock, the merou ry in the thermometer at 9° above Zero; on Saturda; morning at7 o’clock, at 2° below. ‘The harbor has not yet been obstructed by ice, nor has the bay between thy tity and Cambridge been entirely closed.

The ice makes in the docks an: upon the flats, but the harbor ana channel remain unob atructed.

Theatricals, dc. ‘The Boston papers say that Signora Pico and Signo Sanquirico were received by an immense audience an’ with immense applause, on Saturday evening. They were both loudly encored in their pieces, and throughout all their performances greeted with the warmest tokers of admiration. Signora Pico is a splendid creature, an’ sings os though her breath was the air of Paradise. Th cert given by Borghese and otherstare of th Italian Opera, on Saturda: ening, in Philadelphia, w» pumerously attended, and the music was listened to wit! delight, and applauded as rapturously as its excelli merit deserved. Signorina Borghese sang with a ra - ing sweetness, and the concluding duet from Nor: tween her and Signora Ricci, was tae gem of th ning. Signor Tomasi, a bass singer of great mer created a very favorale impression, and Signor Perozz an old favorite, displayed the usual evideace of power ap ability. ‘The complimentary Korponay Ball, which took plac on Friday night, at the Assembly Buildings, Philadelphi: was a splendid sffair, and passed off in the happiest max ner. There was a display of beau:y and fashion. Tue Smrrnsontan Bequest.—There is one bi! now before the House of Representatives, whic’ we hope will not be overlooked in the pressure ci otner business. Aftera disgraceful delay ot eigh: years, an act establishing the Smithsonian Institu- tion has passed the Senate, and we presume wi meet with little opposition in the House, provide: it ean be taken up. But herein lies the difficulty , and there is some danger that it may be smothere: by other matters. The bill is about as good a on: as is likely to be framed, and amendments can b: made hereafter, as its practical operation shall de monstrate them to be necessary. If it should br laid over to another session, there is danger tha the same causes which have heretofore retarded ii will cause a further delay of two or three pee We need not dwell upen the importance of the ob- jects contemplated by the bill, and the necessity c’ fulfilling the faith of the government, pledged as i has been to carry out these objects.

The minstrel was soitened, and taking the lad by the hand procured him a situation atthe Ivy Green as under bar-Keeper. On Saturday night a van watch worth $40, belonging to Robert Sears, the bar keeper, and a coat wor ut $20, the property of C. W.

The Senate of Missouri have passed a bill locating the fifth branch of the Bank of Missouri at Lexington, one of the most flourishing towns in the State.

The committee came to the conclusion that the present lien of the State is of no actual value, that it isa material impediment to the eompany’s obtaining the necessary funds to complete the road, and they therefore recom- mend thatthe lien of the State be released on condition that three millions of money are subscribed to the rosd, and one-fourth thereof paid in. ‘There appears to be a better feeling in Wall street and vi- cinity, produced, no doubt, in a meas by the anticipated relief inthe Money Market, from the opening of the dis- count books of the banks, which have so long atime been closed. The quarterly returns of the banks of this State having been made, it is now supposed they will in- crease their lines of discount up te the amount eutstand- ing previous to the contraction for the purpose of making the reports to the Comptroller. The reports already pub- lished by some of the banks, show a diminished move- ment, and if this hes been general throughout the State, the loans and specie on hand, have, within the quarter just closed, been very much reduced. The banks have been compelled to rapidly reduce their discounts, and to almost close their doors against an expansion, in conse- quence of the state of foreign exchanges, and after all their efforts to prevent shipments of specie, they have been drained of at least three millions of dollars. Weannex the reports of several banks made to the Comptroller on the 1st inst. City Banks. 1844 — ES : 54,743 185,723 735, Feb. 1815.

The decrease given in the abo ble, in discounts, is full twenty-five per cent; in specie, about forty; in circulation, fifteen, and in deposits about forty- five. These returns confirm what we have for the past six or eight weeks been stating, und show the cause of the tightness in the Money Market, and the improvement in the rate of interest, It could not be otherwise then that such an immense and rapid decrease in the opera- tions of these banking institutions, should have caused much embarrassment among the commercial classes, and much depression in the stock market. 5 From these returns it appears there has been a decrease im the circulation and deposits. The banka have evi- dently strengthened themselves in every way to meet any movement that may spriog out of the overtrading so general throughout 1844.
