Our despatches from Washington, last evening, are of a very important character. We learn thet the whig members of the Senate, or at least such of them as are in favor of the Compromise bill in- troduced by Mr. Clay, held a caucus meeting yea- terday, and agreed upon the line of 34 for New Mexico, and of 35 for California, and that this is considered as the platform of the new administra- tion under Mr. Fillmore. This is a very important movement on the part of the whig members of the Senate, and augurs ‘well for the settlement of the agitating question of slavery. We begin to hope now that there is a good prospect of the Compromise bill, in a some- ‘what modified form, being passed by that body, and that, too, before long. The power and in- finence which the old cabinet used to their own advantage, are evidently dispelled, and a better and more harmonious feeling is restored be- tween the two sections of the country. There may and probably will be some discussions yet on this subject, and it may be some time before the matter is finally disposed of. We can, however, gee a rainbow of solid hope before us ; and we shall be very much mistaken if an adjustment of the ter- Titorial and slavery question is far off. The clouds are giving way, and daylight is beginning to dawn wpon us. If this be the platform of the new admi- mistration, all parties will have reason to rejoice. ‘There is no earthly necessity for a continuance of this agitating subject. It can be compromised, it could have been compromised before, this but for the “administration plan,” as it was termed, which was palmed off on the lamented Gen. Tay- lor by his cabinet, as a panacea for the slavery evil, designedly to serve their own purposes; and i will be compromised, according to every in- dication. This, a severe but a well reerited rebuke to the abolition factionistsin the Senate, of whom William H. Seward in the head inside, and Thurlow Weed the tail outside, in this State. Let, therefore, the fanatics be thrown overboard, let the intelleet and patriotism of the whig party assert their legitimate influence, and the whole question can be adjusted in a manner that will be satisfactory to the reason- able men, of all parties and of oll classes and eec- fone, in this wide-spread republic. Members of Congress, the municipal authorities ud the public of Washington in general, are pre- paring for the ead solemnities attendant upon the farcral of the late lamented General Taylor, Pre sident of the United States. From what we have heard, the obsequies will be conducted in a manner that will redound to the credit of the corporate authorities of the capital, as well as of its citizens. We are glad to learn that the general impression fm Washington is, that Mr. Fillmore wiil be found equal to the emergency in which he finds himself placed, and that there is every prospect of the slavery question being settled satisfactorily to all parties. Mr. Fillmore has evidently made @ good eommencement ; for, no doubt, the caucus which | was held yesterday took his views, and acted upon them as the basis of their movements. The fact is, that the whig party, now more than ever, are responsible for the settlement of the slavery ques- tion. It is in their hands exclusively now, and they fappear to have awakened to a sense of the responsibility that is resting upon them. Generel Teylor, in his amiability and con- seicun integrity, was, no doubt, the dupe ofa designing cabinet on this subject; but Mr. Fille more is a different man in every reapect. He knows very well that he will have to answer for hie administragion ; that censure will apply to him alone ; whereas, in the case of the late President, (peace to his ashes!) the country looked, to a very great extent, on the cabinet forthe faithful adminis- tration of the government. We learn from the best authority that Mr. Foote and the other democratic members ef the Senate, Propose, in compliment to President Fillmore, to retura to him the unconfirmed appointments before that body. This is a very proper course. This movement in the Senate will give the President an @pportunity to exercise the right that he possesses, t ehange any plans that may not be in harmony With his proposed operations. He will not recall, probably, any of those who have already received appointments; but he will consider the propriety of Making all requisite chang The Stare of New York will come in forall due consideration—and | the seales and weights in the Custom House will be shifted about, till matters are settled. The Post Office in Albany will be overhauled, and all the ‘Waste poper will be cleared out. Ia fact, the new Presidential epoch promises many new things, and there will be much curiosity to see how matters are to turn out with those who have tried to ‘wre in. | Tre Cuourna mx oe Count Doeomotion, caprices, end destroyer, @ v-—The travels, wneortainties, of this singular and unaccountable. ‘This time last year, this dixease wae raging intensely | dm our city, manifesting iteclf singularly enough, | @hiefly in the avenues aod outckirts of the eity, while the de rand more crowded part was com- paretively free from the pestilence.

We believe we have now enumerated moet of the places ia the Union which have been specially vieited this vear by thie terriic scourge, though, with the exception of Nashville, it has appeared in « mitigated form, compared with lest year. It is singular thut New Orleans has hitherto evenped Dut there is truth in the old adage, “ Do not holloa before you get out of the woods,” and“ Let not him that putteth on his armor boast like him who taketh it off.” Who can tell what a day may bring fortht Meanwhile, let us enjoy with grati- tude our present exemption, with every other pre- @eat advantage which we enjoy. The New Preside? and the Slavery Ques Mon, Before the remaine ef the late venerable Gen, Taylor are consigned to the dust, the different cliques of politicians throvgheut the country are running hither and thither, to quarrel about and show fight over the spoils of office that are now to be dispensed by the new President at Washington. There arrived in this city, yesterday, fifty or a hundred politicians, belonging to various cliques | in the interior of New York and New England, all of whom are on theirway to Washington, and will probably take their departure to-day. Thurlow Weed, the head and front of the Seward abolition clique, Whose demise is just at hand, in conse- quence of a recent melancholy event, after firing a signal gun the other day in Albany, has gone to Boston for the purpose of drumming up the forces, creating strife, either to rule or ruin, the new administration under Mr. Fillmore. The or- gans of the same clique, in this region, particularly the Courter and Enquirer, ure taking strong and decided ground in favor of what they call the policy of the old administration, and in opposition to that of the great leaders of the whig party in Congress, d throughout the country, which is favorable to an immediate settlement and compromise of the slavery question. What is the difference between the platform to which General Taylor gave his sanction, in rela- tion to the slavery question, and that which was brought forward by Mr. Clay, and other whig leaders, in both houses of Congress? This is the great point at issue, and the merits of both can be discussed and decided upon in a very few words. The effect of the administration plan, as it is called, will be, even if California were admitted to-morrow, to keep open the slavery question for an indefinite period of time, to encourage factionists and disunionists to follow up the work of disorganizing the confederacy, which they commenced a long time since, if not to provoke acivil war, which would, in all probability, end ina violent rupture between the Northern and Southern States,and the destruction of this harmonious system of government. That policy has as much this ten- dency as has that of Garrison, Phillips, and other New England fanatics, who possess but one idea, and one alone. Indeed, the prospect of such a Jamented result was not, at the death of General Taylor, very remote. Texas, it was understood, was preparing to assert her claims, and to resist, by force, all attempts to dispute them. It was expected by those in favor of the late administration plan, that this movement on the part of Texas, would have been met by a proclamation from General Tay- lor, to be followed, of course, by an armed demonstration by the troops of the general govera- ment against Texas. A collision, in all proba- bility, would soon afterwards occur, and the shedding of fraternal bleod would be the signal for a civil war, the end ef which no one could pre- dict. The philosopher of the Tribune says he was anxiously and hopefully expecting such a procla- mation, and he would not long have expected in vain, but for the death of General Taylor. This wae the great aim and design of the cabinet—to build up a party on the blood of their couatrymen, by creating a civil war out of the slavery question. This is the abolition socialism, which the eabinet and their supporters, who drove General Taylor to his grave by their intrigues, wished to establish in this country, and which they imposed on the amiable old man now deceased. Contrast the plan of settlement and eompromise introduced {by Mr. Clay, and advocated by him, and other leading statesmen of the whig party, and let us eee in what respect it differs fromthe ad- ministration or cabinet plan. Mr. Clay’s compro- mise is based on justice and equity to all parties and sections of the country—it will satisfy the moderate and sensible men of all parties through- out the country, and has received the sanction of a great portion of the leading men in both houses of Congress. Its operation, in settling the whole agitation connected with slavery, will be imme- diate and instantaneous, whereas the administra- ion plan would keep it alive, festering and rankling, until the sore on the body politic would become incurable. Such are the differences between the two plans submitted in regard to the slavery question. The organs of the Galphin cabinet are endeavor- ing to force their on Mr. Fillmore, while it is evident that Mr. Clay’s compromise is the only method ye roduced that will settle the whole agitation, and putit to rest as soon as it passes both Houses. We are happy in being able to state thet, according to every indication, Mr. Fillmore will reject the one, and adopt the plan so nobly and brilliantly sketched by Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and other leading patriots and intellectual lights in Con- grees. If Mr. Fillmore has the firmness to resist the purposes and machinations of the ultra abolition clique in this State, which have been set in motion hy Seward and Tacrlow Weed, heywill entitle him- telf to the applause of every section of this great and mighty Union. Svear Canny ror Potrricians.—Some of the | newspapers are rolling up sticks of sugar candy, of | every possible flavor and consistency, in the shape of offere to Mr. Fillmore of a re-election in 1862. The Philadelphia papers are particularly active in this condied especies of bribery. No doubt the candy is twisted with something of a more impor- tant character; but we doubt if Mr. Fillmore has the “sweet tooth’ for these preparations. The candy-makers mistake their man. Mr. Fillmore i* an intelligent, strong-minded and practical states- man, and has no more idea of being President of the United States, for the next term, than he has of being the Emperor of Morocco. It has been the folly, as the history of the past distinetly shows, for such politicians as Captain Tylerand Martia Van Buren to look beyond the boundaries of one presidential term into the uncer- tain future, living upon lofty hopes of popularity all the while; bat the sequel has plainly exhibited thatthey have erected their ambition on fairy-land fallacies. No man who comes into the Previden- | tiel chair, as Tyler and Fillmore have, exw hope | for re-election, by struggling to make themgr|ves candidates for a second Presidential term. There are too many Candidates for the Presidency—there is too much competition to permit one man to oc- cupy the office of chief magistrate for two terms in succession. The people are naturally jealous of euch perpetuation of power; and, evea were this not the case, there are too many upon whom the people are dispoeed to put the great civic laurel. Our voters are one-term men—and Presidents can- not be made on any other terms.

Cirevlouon, eharacter, practical business taleat, unceasing eneigy by day and by night, go for nothing. Well, well; we shell see what the sequel will be by next November. ‘The Late Explosion in Fh jelphin, The dreadful explosion during the devastating conflegration, with which the city of Philadelphia hes been lately visited, involving at the same time a lamentable loss of life and awful destruction of | Froperty, has threwn the inhabitants of that city intoa state of alarm and consternation, and has aroused, in no small degree, the attention and anxiety of the wiwle country. The fearful con- sequences which followed the explosion, naturally give rise toa desire of instituting an investigation into the probable cause of the catastrophe, ia order to prevent in eome manner the repetition of the same casuality for the future. Aceordingly, with pleasure we perceive the announcement, that the coroner of that city has determined to make a careful and rigid examination into the cause of the late explosion, as far as it can be ascertained by strict inquiry. In the meantime, there are va- rious opinions and rumors of a very con- tradictory nature afloat, concerning the erigin of thie dreadful disaster. Notwithstanding the firm declaration made by the proprietor of the store in which this lamentable occurrence took place, of the total absence of gunpowder at the time, public opinion can scarcely reconcile itself to the proba- bility that the quantity of saltpetre which the store contained, could produce such fearful results. In support of the supposition that gunpowder was in the building, it is rumored that a drayman asserts having taken twenty-five kegs of gunpowder to the store, some days previous to the accident, and that @ gentleman observed, at the moment of the ex- plosion, a black, pitchy cloud of emoke, simi- lar to that evolved by gunpowder. It is, how- ever, a well established fact that saltpetre, when accumulated inflarge quantities, and held na state of fusion, will explode with a terrific effeet, especially when it comes in contaet with carbon, which, ina fire of this descrip- tion, is almost invariably the case. Whatever may have been the immediate cause of this dreadful casuality, it is the duty of the Coroner to endeavor to discover it by instituting a minute and rigid io- vestigation into all the facts and circumstances, and thereby to restore quietude to the minds of the in- habitants of that city ; and, if the result of the ex- amination establish the fact of the presence of gun- powder, let the refractory parties sufler the utmost severity of the law. This melancholy disaster, ia connection with that which recently took place in Brooklyn from the eame cause, although accidentally it did not prove eo fatal, shoufd arouse the attention of the city authorities. The deplorable loss of life, the awful destruction of property, which gene- rally attends such explosions, and the ruin and desolation of the many families, whose friends and relations have fullen victims to the catastrophe, ur. gently demand the exergetic exertion of the magis- trates in general. By virtue of the power with which they are invested, they can adopt and en- force euch measures as will prevent the recurrence of such sad disasters. Let them examine all the public stores and warehouses, where combustible and explosive materials, such as gunpowder, salt- petre, etc., are gemerally stored up, and have them instantly removed. Saltpetre, although it has hitherto been customary to preserve it in buildings within the city, is avery dangerous article, and it has been incontestibly demonstrated that in large quantities it proves to be of a very explosive nature. | Let the city authorities, then, exert themaelves to- wards thespredy removal of all such explosive sub- stances from within the city, and the danger of | such a fatality will be entirely obviated. New Puivosorugrs amone Tux, Perricoars.— The Rey. Mr. Griswold, the Rev. Mr. Ripley, Dr. Francis, and the remainder of the first committee on the Rochester knockings, have recently turned their attention in other directions.

They have now retired, and given | place to a new set of democratic philosophers, Captain Rynders and his associates have visited the curious fish who have stirred the spiritual waters, and own up bravely as t» the influence of the Rochester fry.
