INVELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. ‘Wasninton, April 17, 1848. Important Intelligence—Intrigues for the Presi- deney— Polk in the Field There ie no little fluttering in both, or rather in the several diff-rent parties ia Congress, in rela- tion to the next Presidency. Various caucusse: have been held by the partizans of the different candidates for the Presidency within the last week. The “Bull” of Mr. Clay, ex-com™uni- catine Gen. Taylor, Mr. Corwin, Gen. Scott and Judge McLean, and proclaiming himself the exclusive candidate of the whig party, is re- garded by the peculiar friends of Mr. Polk as settling the question of the nomination on the democratic side. The President, itis known, denies that he wishes to be re-elected; his par- ticular and intimate friends reiterate his denial; but a disclosure has been made within the last twenty-four hours, which destroys the credence which ordinarily might be given to this denial A letter has been received in this city from one of the most distinguished democrats of Nash- ville, Tennessee, formerly high in the confidence of Mr. Polk, and who has held high station in the councils of the nation, by which it appears that some of Mr Polk’s confidential friends in high etation here, have recently, by precon- cert, written to Nashville; that the demo- cratic party could not rally with s#ny pros pect of good sucress upon eithrr Mr Cass, Mr. Dallxs, Mr Buchanan, or Mr. Woodbury; and that the only salvation of the party was the renomin«tioo ot Mr Polk, and that arrangements had been made to muke such nomination appear to be the spont-neous expreasion of the wishes ot the peaole by having a simu/taneous announce ment of such intention in different leading demo. cratic papers the Union — nat the leading arti- ele on the subject would first appear in the Hunts- ville democratic paper, and suggesting that th- Tenness-e papers in favor of Vir Polk should be careful and neither go beyond nor lag behind the indications given ia that editorial It 1s now belived that the visit of Mr Buchanan to Peon sylyania is with the knowledge ot Mr. Polk’s real purposes, and to mould the action of his friends so as to secure his continuance in offic: under Mr Polk, if he should be nominated aod re-elected upon the ground, as the course of ac- tion of his frienas will justify, that they will be entitled to the credit of affecting that re-nomina- tion, when they find that Buchanan’s prospects are hopeles But the pe »ple will not submit to this system of “bargain, intrigue. and man- agement” A_ convention of office-holders and office-seekers may attempt to carry out this purpose, but a renomination of Mr. Polk will reeult as did the re-nomination of his acci dency Jonn Tyler, and he will leave Washing- ton on the 4:n ot March, 1849, with very much of the same odium as his illustrious predecessor The course of Mr. Polk, since the first day he as- sumed the presidential chair, has been artfulry concealed from the American people—while he has not hesitated to m+ke the most profuse decla rations of his determination not to be re-nomi- nated. His whole line of policy with reference to the succession, has been such as to make that re-nemination inevitable or the defeat of the d-- mocratic party certain, and to make the fear o1 the latter produce the former. Alternately Cass, Buchanan, Dallas, and more recently Woodbury, have beeo the favorites oi the administration apparently, for the succes- sion, and each has in turn, alter elevation toa sufficient degree of prominency to weaken all his rivals, been knocked down to their level. ‘When the convention meets, it will be found that the party can rally onno one of them. No on can get a majority of the convention, and then their respective friends have become so embit- tered against each other, that nu union can take place to produce harmony, anu even an attempt to resort to the old system of * bargain,” wili fail, and an entire new man, or Mr. Polk will be selected as apis aller—General Butler, of Ky., and R. J. Waiker, the Secretary of the Treasury may be such pis mst yeptee 3 King, of Ala bama, (if he were married, and hud children) might be selected. Allen, of Ohio, is the Brrobe man of the west, and can perhaps unite more the Youvg democracy than any other. We should not be surprised if Allen was selected as President, and Jefferson Davis, of Miss, at Vice President. As the venerable padre of the Union says, nous verrons Gsonce Kremer, of Penn. WasutXeron, April 17, 1943. The Schooner, with its cargo of Runaway Slaves —Movements of the Abolitionists. A practical abolition movement has been the subject of discussion among the citizens of Washington for the last two days. The facts in the case are not yet ascertained ; but it would seem from all that we can learn, that on Sunday morning (yesterday) from filty to sixty slaves, (some say one hundred in all,) belonging to various persons in this city and in Georgetown, were discovered to be missing ; and simultaneously with this discovery, it was also discovered that a schooner which had dis- charged at the wharf the day before a cargo of firewood, had also disappeared ; and the fact that this schooner was com led by a north- erm captain, a stranger in these waters, and other circumstances of directer proof. satisfied the in- terested that said schooner had carried off the negroes aforesaid, destined, no doubt, under the philanthropy of the abolitionists, to be dismissed as freemen in the northern States. A telegraphic despatch or two were forthwith sent to Baltimore, and under its information eud request, several steamboats, it is said, immedi ately left Baltimore and proceeded down the bay in order to intercept the schooner as it emerged from the mouth of the Potomac. At the same time a little steamer was despatched from Georgetown ; but being a slow affair, it was not calculated tv overhaul the chase, and we are told that it has returned to-night, reported pro- gress, and has not asked leave to start again. A general report prevails this evenivg, that mers overhauled. the one of the Baltimore st schooner some fifteen miles below the debou chure of the Potomac, brought her to, and cep- tured her A rumor says that there was a fignt, aud that several of the negroes were killed and wouaded. Tne facts, you will have, perhaps, received from Baltimore. _ me ; _ This is the active beginning of the abolition- iste—the practical comsnencement for the aboli- tioa of slavery in the District of Columbia. For some years, slave property has become very ungafe in this quarter, and the presence of se- veral abolitionists in Congress, has eacouraged tne culored population of Washington to a ment of the slaves of this District We do not pretend to say that the abolition ad amy direct agen- cy or loreknowledge ot this schooner, or of the object of its visit to Washington; but the pre- seace of those members in Congress, and their speeches, have been an encouragement to this movement. The abolition paper here, we cao cheerfully aay, has pursued a - bie line of policy as an abolition paper-—it has not dealt in vulgar abuse of the slave-holders, but has argued the great abstract question of slavery with great respect aad caution —precautions dictated by the locality oi the paper, aud the discretion of the editor. Still, there is w feeling of distrust against this Nation- al £ra, and an explanation acquitting it ot aay ageucy io the arrival or departure of the runa- way schooner, will be necessary to relieve the conductors of the paper oi the suspicions of tre slaveholders at Washington, whuse servants members of Congress, have nified and a respectal have been so unceremoaivusly carried off. The extraordinary ultraisms of the Freach re- volution have also had their effect in this euter- prise, tne results of which may tend to precipi- tate the issue between the north and the south on this vexed question, in which the north has no business toiatertere. The south will demand that the federal constitution be either respected or abandoned. Bona Fink. a Wal INGTON, April 17, 1848. Items of the Night.

M - a" 4 for thirty-five yea pe The intelligence received from Washington and Georgetown of the escape of some sixty or seventy slaves, in a vessel belonging to Philadel- phia, has caused a considerable stir among the slave owners in this vicinity. The steamer Co- lumbia, which leit this port for Washington on Saturday afternoon, passed a schooner near the mouth of the Potomac on Sunda’ her deck covered with blacks and about an hour afte: wards passed the steamer Salem, her decks filled with armed men, and two cannon protruding from her bows changed words, and the Salem continued on her course, but the opinion is that the schooner hag too much headway to be overtaken, particularly as she was just catering the bay when passed, in which, she being a swift sailer, there was but little likelihood of her being overhauied. The slaves belong to Washington and George- town, and are mostly men of the most valuable charaeter. The Salem was chartered by the owners at Georgetown, and sent ia pureuit early oa Sunday morning. There is no doubt that the matter has been under consideration for some and that the schooner, w Philadeiphia, was sent to h toad of wood, for the express purpose for which she has been used. She 18 called the Pearl, and is commanded by Captain Sears. _ As to the aiders and abettors in this movement, suspicion attaches to several, one of whom is figuring in the northern papers in abuse of Henry Clay, he having recently spent several weeks in ington.
