INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON, Movements of the New Admnistration. ic. dic. SO. Wasuineton, Feb. 25, 1849. Lively Trmes—The News About Tewn— Office’ Seekers and Polticians, &c., &¢., §¢- Times are brisk, very brisk, in Washington. Aly the politicians are busy; allthe cliques are at work— all have their men for the cabinet; and such mining, countermining, and undermining, are seldom to be seen even on in the advent of anew administra- tion. The Bostonians versus the New Yorkers—the Webster men versus the Southera men—the old whigs and the young whiga are working away among themselves, for this or that individual, this or that place, caucussing, planning and plottiag, as it their souls’ salvation depended upon it. They meet, they talk among themselves, they appoint some shrewd fellow of their number, whe can put in his oar, and they send him upto Willard’s. At the appointed time they meet again, awaiting his return. Did you see the old man? Did you get a chance athim? Did you put in the claim of Mas- suchusetts? What does the old tellow say! The health of the old General is altogethera secondary consideration We see, among the politicians here, Prescott Hall, Watson Webb, a King of New Jer- sey, anda King of New York, and others of the acknowledged of the orthodox, mixed up with a bope less pruportion of the small deer of the whigs and indescribables, Col. Webb wears the uir of a man who can aflord to look with contempt upon Horace Greeley, fike a man who has played his cards to admiration, and holds the pool in his hands. Verily, hath he a most goodly counte- nance, full of selt-satisfaction, and of alt goed ex- pectations, Of a truth, he doth appear like unto a Joviel uncle, who, alter a right royal dinner, doth Teceive tidings of a great estate bequeathed unto him by some deceased and unknown relative in the Indies, giving him great occasion of re- Joicing, and nothing of which to feel disconsolate, The Colonel looks, im brief, as though he came on to keep ali right; as if satisfied that he has only to speak and the thing is done. Extant or extinct, we consider him the most striking illustration of @ man pleased with himself, that we have ever seen. But it 18 grievous to confess, that of the original Taylor men now in the field at Washington, the Colonel of the Courter stands almost solitary in his selt-complacency. The heads of the whig party have taken the drees circle, and the original or in- dependent Taylor men are thrown into the back iround, Gen. Duff Green, Governor Van Ness, shanceilor B bb, aud others of that school of the early supporters of Gen. Taylor, ure among the in- visibles. The great object now of the orthodoxy is to thin out the heretics. The Tyler and demo- cratic supporters of Gen. Taylor are beginning to apprehend that they are to be included among the excluded—voted outside with the outsiders, and left to shift for themselves. that of themselves they could not elect their President—reinforcements from the Bavarians were indispensable. But having succeeded, and the services of the Bavarians being | no longer required, they may now, and must now, be dispensed with. The old whigs can at least | take care of the offices among themselves. If lett to themselves, they will make as clear a demon- stration upon the tat places as even Mr. Brooks could demand.

But there is, perhaps, an obstacle to this desirable ex- termination, in the personfof old Zack. The Saturday just going out has been a busy day. The scene-shitters huve been dodging in and out, with most mysterious whisperings—some look eluted, others elongated in the physiognomy. You can read the run of the play in their faces. ‘The interest is intense, for the cabinet selections are under the most painfully deliberate advise- ment. Reports are as plentuful in the streets as blackberries in July in the old fields of Fairtax. The “ins” are in a state ot apprehension, and the “outs” are full of donbts. Numerous anec- dotes are told of the self-possession of od Zack. He talks freely and fluentl upon everything except the offices. At the Re- lay as he came on, itis said that he was ac- costed by a young whig, ambitious for the service of his beloved country, who, having ob- tained the earot the old General, put ta a good word for himself toran office. ‘Ah !” said the General, ** I only have one, aad you are welcome to that office, if the people are agreed. Very cold weather, for the season, I think, sir.” Yes, but General, I have lost money during the eampaiga.” “Very sorry, sir; but do you thiuk it will rain to- might?” ‘Looks very much like it, General; but reully, if I have been too fast, I beg your pardon.” “Thank you, sir, Let us all do what we can for the country, and we shall have no cause of regret. Thrity looking country ia this neighborhood.” And thus, as report hae it, was the patriotic young man sottly let down from the lofty clouds of expec- tation to the solid tooting of terra firma. ltis well known that Hon. Truman Smith, as the head agent at head-quarters, conducted the pred with the skill, tact, and ability of a true son ot New England. {tis equally notorious that Le has strong opposition to an appointment in the cabinet. Rumor says that he does not desire a berth in the ministry; but that if the Webster men, and John Davis men, and George Evans hegotiators persist in their efforts to supersede him, he will take the Post Office Department, a3 an act of self-defence. If rumor is right, Mr. Smith is shrewd as ever, for in classing himself ws among the persecuted by his brethren of the North, who knows but he may gain the equaliy desirable influence of Messrs. Clayton, Peyton, Bullitt, Bliss, and others of the Senate. One thing, however, appears to be established asa rule of precedence. It is this.—That the ser- vices of aman in the campaign are but secondar; to the question of his weight of character with the whig party. Hence we find Mr. Clayton in conference with Mr. Webster, whose services in the canvass were actually disadvantageous to the whig nominee; while Truman Smith, who bore the brunt of the fight, 1s left to look after hunself. In ali this business, Old Zack, of course, remains as the final referee, and we doubt not he will j diciously weigh the respective merits of all classes of the party. We can now state, without a doubt, what 80 confidently we submitted a week ago, to wit:— That Mr. Critenden will not be one of the cabinet of Gen. Taylor. We believe, that the causes we have heretofore assigned were ot the reasons in- fluencing Mr. Crittenden to decline. On account of the unsettled relations between Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Clay—because of the administrative policy of conciliaung the suppert of Mr. Clay in the Senate, the Governor of Kentucky had abundant arguments upon which to act he has acted — But we are given to understand, that there is yet another, and more masterly consideration, confirming Mr. Crittenden in the step which he has taken. Perhaps Gen. ae will decline serving a second term— perhaps Mr. Crittenden may become the whig candidate in 1862 tor the presidency. But whether this 18 understood or not, Mr. Crittenden has adopt- ed an attitude of non-interference with the admi- nistration, which cannot fail to strengthen his popu- larity with the whig paity. As a member of the cabinet, there is every reason to suppose that he would have been debarred trom further promotion. In hie present position, he is er ntly available for still higher distinction> ~ ~. Has not only the tull merit of his s , but has proved to the whig party that bis abandonment of Mi y was to promote the suecess of whig principles at the hazard of all personal considerations. In another point ot view, we respect the declina- tion of Mr. Crittenden been most threat- ening obstruction to the harmony of Gen. Taylor’s administration. We like to speak with the free- dom of an independent mind. And we feel, there- fore, free to repeat that, with Mr. Crittenden inthe cabinet, and Mr. Clay in the Senate, there would have been no peace to the administration, and no harmony to the whig party, till one or the other were vanquished. Now, with Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay enrolled as supporters of the cabinet, and with the whig party thinned of ite extraneous elements, it is for time to determine ite capaci for harmony, ii juxteposition with an unpledged President of the United State Ww. Wasutneton, Feb. 24, 1849. The Close of the Sesston--The Tyouble Between Com. Storer and Col. Tod--The Cabinet, §c. The near approach of the termination of the present Congress, forbids the expectation of any vital measures being consummated by them. The civil appropriation bill still drags its slow length along in the Senate. The numerous amendments 10 which it has been subjected there, may consume time in the House to confirm or reject them. It 18 deeply to be regretted that among those striken out by the Senate, is the amendment of the House to abolish flogging in the Navy. There is a grow- ing feeling in the country, adverse to the longer continuance of this barbarity, and it may be found that the sentiment among the representatives of the people, is sufficiently decided te insist upon their proposition. It certainly would be hailed The old whigs felt | with pleasure by every true friend of the sailor, and «f humanity. ene The desjatches of our Minister to Rio, respect- ing the conductot Commodore Storer, commander in-chiet of the naval torces on the coast of Brazil? have been referred to the Naval Committee of the Senate. As this is an issue between commodorea and diplomatic agents, the fellow commodores of Storer are said to be making strenuous efforts to have the committee take such action as will favor their grade. There 1s an important priaciple in- volved, and it remains to be seen whether the Senate of the United States will give countenance to the indignities attempted tote cast by a naval officer upon one of our representatives in aforeiga court, If Gen. Taylor takes the advice of Jno. M. Clay- ton in the matter, Geo. Evans of Maine, will be appointed S-cretary of the Treasury. H. Wasuinaton, Feb. 24, 1349. General Taylor's Health—Kulling with Kindness, The President elect has recovered very much from the fatigue of his journey, and looks quite well to-day. He, however, does not receive any visits for the present. This receiving public visits is a very serious affair, Particularly where every man, woman, and child does the recipient the favor of shaking his arm nearly off. here is not the slightest necessity tor General Taylor’s friends and admirers to worry him to death with their kindness; and we trust he will not give more than one or two receptions previous to inauguration day.

Taylor being present by in- vitation, wan presented with @ magnificient copy of the Bible, and the Constitution of the United States in the seme volum In accepting the book, Gen. Taylor said:—I sccept with gratitude and pleasure your gitt of this inestim: ble volume. It was for the love of the truths of this greet and good book that our fathers abandoned their Dative thores, for the wilderness. Anicaated by its lofty principles, they toiled and suffered till the desert Dlossomed asthe rose. These same traths sustained themin their resclution to become a free nation. And guided by the wiedom of this book, they founded @ government, under which,we have grown irom three millions to more than twenty millionsof people, and from being but as a stock on the borders of this cen- tinent, we have spread from the Atlantio to tha Pacitic. I trust that their principles of liberty may extend, if without bloodshed, trom the northern to the southern extremities of the continent I[tthere were in that book nothing but its great precept: “All taings what- | soever yo would that men should do unto yoa, d) you even #0 to them,” and that precept were obeyed, our government might extend over the whole contiaeat.
