Our Washington Correspondenee, Wasiisoton, Oct. 20, 1850. | The Fillmore and Seward Section of the Whig | Party—The Movements and Intrigues of Seward —The Effect of the New York Election. The administration, though apparently dis- persed, is pursuing one and the same object, and is a unit in every respect. It may, perhaps, be true, that Mr. Fillmore does not desire to engage with Seward ina pitched battle at this period; but the | breach between the nationai whigs and the tol- lowers of the higher law apostle, is so complete, that all the private wets of the adazinistration will be directed toward his defeat. ‘There is no such thing possible as a union between Fillmore and Seward, though the President may not feel strong enough, or lack a litiie moral courage, openly to | defy the demagogue | You can form no idea of the base means resorted to by Mr. Seward, from the very moment of Gen. | Taylor's death, to ceteat Mr. Fillmore from his | truly national course vo th» slavery question—what | omises Were Mace, Wha prospects held out, | 0 make an impress!) on the mind of the Presi- | Atone tim, ~ewaid waseven forthe Texas Boundary bill, by 1 f, »ud had actually persuaded some of the cabinet ‘ Lis aid was essential to carrying that measure; has vo sooner did Seward ascertain that there wa- «iso a fair chance for the passage of ali the ore: bills, than he was off again, and opposed the til, vi uaestinely, at least, by every possible mean: i bis power. The most imporisut tulare, however, was the attempt of Seward to creat dissensions in the cabi- Bet, in conneetion with the great leading questions of the day. Gov S-» rd’ tans are all based on the foibles and views of sven, not on their strength of character or viru s, after being unable to convince Mr. Fi hat his (Seward’s) as- sistance was likely of service in the settle- ment of the slavery 4 he attempted to show that Sewardism ovgiit be made a strong lever in regard to the nex: Pre -idency, either to promote or | defeat the eleetion of » parucular candidate; thus | holding out to the I’) -\irot and his cabinet the | choice between « powerful friend or an enemy. | ‘When this plan bed «iro fuled, Seward tried what eflect jealousy night». © on he mind of the Pre- | sident, end forthwith vn ertook to convince Mr. | Filmore, in a variey of manners, how Daniel ‘Webster had mane ompletely to eclipse him, and how, in all propo iy, Mr. Webster himself would be the candiiaie of the whig party in 1852. | Mr. Fillmore bews firea in the adoption of the | compromise meas . eoort was paid to Mr. Cor- | wip, the member M_ Fulmore’s cabinet sup- d to be most in tivorot free soil principles.

This | again proved @ talvie Mr. Corwin remained feithful to his trust, aud labored shoulder to shoul- der with Mr Wrb-ver in the settlement of the | great question. At the lust hour, Seward played off the Ewing clique against Mr. Corwin, consist- ing of Vinton, Schenck, wend one or two others; but Corwin was not « foghtened, and stood his ound like aman. The very person in whom the uth, of all the memters of the cabinet, had the least confidence, proved to be an important sup- port to the President aod the measures of pacifica- tion of Cass, Clay d Webster, and one of the best means of frustr tiny the plans and tricks of Seward, at the mort trying period of the last ses- B00. Being thus compi+t-ly ontwitted and outilanked in Washington, the cem>gogue is now trying his beat to create dis-riisioos in the party, at the elec- tions in New York ; but whether the friends of the administration ure y opposing the candidates of the Syracuse © ou or not, they will never sustain them un y are satisfied that these candidates will not play tuto Seward’s hands after they are elected. {1 the administration had pro- duced a split in the perty, its defeat would have been charged upou ut, if ‘he party is now defeated, the demagogue wil have done the work, because the people turned from tun with disgast A. uixaton, Oct. 21, 1850. | Return of Foreign Mintsters—Mr. Bulwer and | Ex-Premier Cloyton——A False Prophet—Demo- | evatic Palsy-- The Pr sidewcy— Politics-- Govern- ment Poorhouse, & The return of co#i weather has brought with it | several of the for sters, Who had absented | themselves during the sumer.

The Union is much grieved that the Fillmore section of the whig party have resolved to support the nominees of the Syracase Convention, and, with tears, endeavors to prove that the coalition will not aid in quieuog Southern agitation. The Repuhlic, on the covtrary, remarks, that “so uni- is the di wtot the democrats with the result of the Ur onvention,” that “it leaves us ho reason to t that our friends have acted Wisely and p jeally, and ia the manner best calculated to advaner and strengthen the whig cause.” The staid and dignity ‘ives Antelligencer an approving nod to the re-union; and ais right at Washington ‘There are many hangers-on for oSice.

The Southern Movementse—The North—General and Cuba—Coming Events, §¢. Were the restless and factious spirits of the North to respect the Fugitive Slave law, instead of de} | masters other than themselves. ) and with better success than before, a | plot is deepe: Southern confederacy. The Seward movement, the caving in of the national whigs to the Syracuse nominations, the agitation for arepeal of the fugi- tive law, (ia eflect, nextto a repeal of a prov of the constitution of the United States) “and the concentration of forces at the next seasion of Con- gress to accomplish the ends of the Northern mal- contents, will inevitably provoke a correspondin: unkind spizit on the part of Southern members, an: we may Witness their withdrawal from the two chambers, leaving Northera members in full pos- session. For y past, Southern statesmen have been looking for a dissolution of the Union at no distant period ; and it has been only within the last three or four years that men have openly advocated a Southern confederacy, It was spoken of without restraint during the last session. Calculations were made as to the benefits which the South would enjoy under such a new state of affairs, having within her borders everything calculated to render a man independent of his immediate neighbors. 2 thern Presidents, no deubt, with a view to the welfare of the section from which they came, contributed to increase our area Louisiana was acquired under Jetierson, Florida during the admin- istration ot Mr. Monroe, and ‘Texas during that of Mr. Polk. Ever since the formation of the govern- ment, there has been a baaketion after additional territory. Let the idea be generally adopted that a certain piece of land must be ours, and it comes into our possession. Such 1s ** progression.” But to return to Southern statesmen. In the | speeches of all of them they show the injury which would result to them by being fenced ia, and not rmitted to expaud with their institations. They now that a powerful party in the North are deter- mined to keep them within the present slave limits, and on both sides the question really assumes one of political power. Mr. Calhoun, in his last speech, argued in this wise, and claimed new constitutional arantees—to preserve the equilibrium of the {tates in matters of national legislation. The sub- ject, in ail its aspects, is well understood ; and the South is aware that, unless she makes a firm stand for the maintenance of her Hong they will, in the progress of time, be wrested from her by a reckless ma) eri. f Mr. Yulee made a movement, in 1846, short- ly after he took his seat as one of the Sena- tors of Florida, for the purchase of Cuba. It was thought by sensible people, at the time, that he was too hasty; but since the idea has expanded, and the South especially are wistfully eS in that direction. Lord Bentinck, in ritish House of Commons, proposed that Great Britain should seize Cuba in payment of the Span- ish debt; but this would not, for a moment, be tolerated by this government, nor by the Southern people. The key of the Gulf of Mexico would not, if acquired by Britain, long remain in her bands. Our citizens are aware of the importance of the island, both in a commercial and protective point of view, and they will never consent to new England, e zant of this, wants our government to agree that Cuba shall be guaranteed to its present possession; in other words, that the United States shall not seize it. But ** Round Islanders” are not all dead, and the few adventurers who did not conquer under Lopez, (who has genius enough only to foment disturbances, and no ability to direct successful movemente,) may keep their powder dry, for even now we learn that secret plans are in progress for another invasion. The Spanish Mimster, we know, has been advised of everything connec’ ed with the plan ; and our government has already | given direcuons to the United States marshals and other officers, to keep a sharp look out for the ad- venturers. Lopez will not lead the next expedi- tion ; an American of tried mettle will command, and, if what we hear be true, succeed. We may then get into a snarl with Joho bull and Spain, y way of variety, which, with the continued agi- tatien of the slavery question, will give us some- thing to think about and beep us busy. Success in aecquiing Cuba for the South, will stimulate the Northern appetite for Cana: The only question is, shall wa besten the acquisitions ? hey will, unquestionably, be severed from the governments to which they respectively belong; but the im- patient cannot waitlong. The sword of revolution must cut the knot that would decay woe ees JAPITAL. Wasuinaton, October 24, 1850. General Lopez and his Movements with Reference to Cuba— Arrangements for the Expedition—The Spanish Minister and Mr. Bulwer, etc. While people almost everywhere have been talk- ing about the slavery question, General Lopez and many distinguished citizens have been busily at work laying their plans for the acquisition or sei- zure of Cuba, on which they look with as much appetite as David did on poor Uriah’s wife, and who may be alike successful in having their passion gratified. The Spanish Minister, in this city, has been in- formed of every movement of Lopez and his com- peers, and has not failed to make kaewn the plans to.the administration. Last summer Lopez addressed to wealthy Cu. bans, temporarily in this country, and Cubans at home, a circular, which ran somewhat in this vein. namely :— “* Sir:—As it is my positive determination to libe- rate the nd of Cuba, | should never forgive my- self hereafter if | had omitted to offer you an op- pe rtunity to participate in so glorious a work, either y the contribution of money, or by personal ser- vice.” lt appears that among the lazy, weal most intluential class of Cuba, the subjec been seriously debated, whether the island would be benefitted Ly a change of government. Some of the gentlemen, to whom Lopez sent the circular, have gone 80 far ag to entertain his’ propositions, and have Ge responses in the most acceptable manner, © have ascertained that he has received inepease sums of money, which is subject to his raft. Whether the information be true or not, i: is be lieved in certain quarters ta this e1ty, that General (Juiunun Was to have had a free conference with Lopez at a given point on the Mississippi, last Fe- dey. The errangement is understood to give (dai man the commaud, Lopez to act as an aid and general paymaster. There is not the least doubt that another attempt will be mide to seize Cuba, the ii ders will have a dauntless leader, an there is now more discontent in the isiaud aa he popue lace, owing lo (he recent movements of the govera- meat. Great Britain has not been asleep, and has, gh her minister, been bolstering up Spain former has been instructed to resist the at- jt to acquire Cuba, and to inform the American rept that Eagland will, conjointly with our- e the Island to Spiin. “However, rs” do not care or diplomatic notes. ‘The Present, through Mr. Webster, the Spanish Minister that this gover serve a strict neutrality, and instruction s have beea issued to United States officers to keep a sharp toolk- out forthe movements of the invaders. In th connection, we may recut to past history. Spa in ISIS, at first refused to ratify the Florida treaty. because it was alleged that this goveroment had tolerated, or protected an expedition agaiast Texas. This Mr. Monroe, at that time Presideat, pro- nounced utterly without foundation. Every :die countenance, he said, had ivvanably been given to any such attempt from within the limits of the United Stotes, as was fully evinced by the acts of the government and the proceedings of the courts. There being cause, however, to apprehend, ia the course of the summer of that year, that some ad- venturers entertained views of the kind suggested, “the attention of the constituted authorities in that quarter was immediately drawn to them, and itis known that the project, whatever it might be, has utterly failed.” So said Mr. Monroe, but Texas is now a State of the federal Union. And so may it be with Cuba, at ne distant day, although the first attempt “utterly failed.” Canada will tacked on at the Northern side, whether there be union or disunion. We have ery nd reason to believe that the Cuba more extensive and respectable, than person: — suppose. The leaders will try and not go off half-cocked, next time. Caritat.

The story will seon be told; in a few weeks the crop will be gathered, and, as showy as it now looks, about a third of it will come up missing. It cannot now be denied that the cotton crop is short. . The Point Coupee (La ) Bho. of the 12th inst., says:—Since our Test number, the weather has not changed. The month of October is more like the month of August aad September. The drought still continues, which is most favorable for the cotton planters. The cane on the old lands has suffered much for want of rain. Nearly all of our sugar planters are ready to commence grinding; they are waiting for a cool spell of weather. ‘The Clinton (La.) Whig, of the 9th inst, says:— ‘The picking season in this parish has, thus far, be marked by a succession of fine weather, which has aided invch in forwarding the work. Every planter has made the most of it, and the result is, at least, an average yield therefor. But this yield is not by any means a fair index of the quantity of cotton made. A cloudless sky and a scorch sun perform wonders in maturing tne cotton boll, and the consequence will be an unprecedented short picking season. In most of the fields, the Ist of November will tell the tale, and in none will there remain much cotton to pick after that period. Ovur planters, knowing this, are not deceived as to the probable yield. An average crop is not antici- pated by any, and he considers himself a lucky man who calculates for two-thirds of the quantity for which he pitched. Census for 1850. Burrato, N.
