BY THE MAILS. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasuineton, Dec. 25, 1850. ‘The Slavery Question—The Governor of Virginia and Father Ritchie. The Governor of Virginia, enlarging upon the resolutions of the Nashville assemblage, has issued @ recommendation for a national convention, upon the slavery question. The object of this conven- tion would be to form a new set of articles of con- federation, adapted to the reccaciliation of the North and South, or additional stipulations between the two sections, for the future security of the South. Other States of the South seem to be strongly inclined to demand “indemnity for the past;” but Virginia, like Georgia, has expressed herself officially disposed to submit with “ security forfuture.”” Governor Floyd, however, seems to consider the guaranties of the consiitution insuffi- cient for this security; and hence proposes a con- vention of delegates from all the States, to con- sider and determine upon such new articles of compact as shali hereafter more securely bind the Northern States to the observance of the rights of the South; and especially to the suppression of all officious and vicious intermeddling with Southern alavery. ition of Governor Floyd NEWS At Bret glance, this proposi' ars to be a reasonable and practical thing, and if there is really an overwhelmin, jority of the people in all the States in favor of the jate ci mises and the Union, much good, or but little harm, at all events, could.result from the proposed convention. Lut it is manifest that the time has not yet come; the sa on North and South has not subsided; the m party throughout the country is not organized; the discontented factions, North and South, would elect many of the delegates; some of the Staies would refuse to be represente: at all, and the convention, under such circum- tances, would either be a failure or a farce. But the moet evident objection to such an assem blage is in the pre indisposition of the body of the people for further agitation. They are content to let the adjustment have a fair trial—they think it will do; and that while the constitution is power ful enough to hold the Union together, all at tempts to strengthen it, or to make additions to it would only aggrava‘e, instead of tending to suppres agitetion. e are not yet through the critca part of the compromises. “Symptoms of revolt are enll testing the strength of our federal system. A call for a national! e tacit ad- mission of the insuffie nt— ‘an admission to the agitators that the principles of this adjustment are unsound and unsatisfactory, and would re-open the whole dispute, when, in fact, the country is satisfied, and only wants repose. In this view of the question, it is rather a matter of regret, if not of surprise, that Father Ritchie sbould have so incautiously given in even a@ quali- fied adhesion to the propositions of the Governor of ‘Virginia—for what could be expected of the ac- tion of the separate State Legislatures upon the adjustment, at this time? Nothing but the most mischievous disturbance of the increasing disposi- tion of the people to acquiesce in the compromises —nothing but the worst kind of agitation. Nor does Father Ritchie help the matter by ‘abusing the letter-writers. As one of that order, we have spared him from respect to his age an sympathy for his bad luck. But he should be cautious of casting stones into a crowd. He is a vulnerable old gentleman, and the forbearance of the letter-writers, under repeated attacks, ought to teach him the same virtue. At least, he should pecify his victims. Fathgr Ritchie is wrong in this convention business, and ought to retract. ‘That’s the best he can do at this stage of the game. Wassineton, Dee. 24, 1850. Movements at Head Quarters for the Presidency. The public affairs of the country are, as Mr. Clay sey, calm upon the surface; but it may be a very delusive calm. Indeed, we should rather pro- nounce the calm of a chaotic political confusion, than the quiet of restored harmony and conciliation. Itis a temporary armistice, and not an abiding peace. It isthe harmony which results from the great anxiety of the politicians to be looking after the presidency; and from an especial desire in the Northern leaders to make it up with the South be- fore itis too late. The movement of the Nash- ville Convention for a separate action on the part of the Southern States, in the matter of the presiden- ey, is more alarming to Northern presidential ar- rangements than all the threats of South Carolina, Mississippi and Virginia combined. The great ob jectés to head off this movement by conciliation and hence there isa remarkable rivalry between the whigs and democrats te curry the good opinion of the South. Hence the great calm. The presi- dency commands $50,000,000 per annum of the spoile—to cerry the presidency for certain, the South must be appeased—and $50,000,000 a year are in- vested with a tremendous power of patriotism aad devotion to the compromises of the constitution. The patronage of the federal government is more powerfal for the preservation of the Unioa than a standing army of a hundred thousand men—it is more potent in extorting a reluctant compliance to the Fugitive Slave law, than all the suggestions of good faith from the priveiples of common honesty —thal among the poliuciana. w. Seward grows circumspect. He is in favor of Scott for 52, not because he is a free soil abolition guilifier, but because Gen. Scott is popu- jar as a military chieftain, and may secure the ils to the party taking him up. Bat let the Southern States stand off in the canvass ef °52, from all Northern candidates, and ran @ separate Southern ticket upen a separate Southern plattorm, and you will see the cloves: foot once more. We eball heve then an exact exposition of the strength of the various iems and schisms in the North; for each of them, very likely, will run @ man of their own. ‘This idea of Southern secession, not from the Union, but from the old party aational coaventions, is the real cause of alarm emoug the Northern poli- ticians, whose plans for the $50,000,000 a year upon the adhesion of the South. It is only the Southern States to follow up the for beparate action-an thc Peesiaentct order to qoerce the demagogues of the "Tun to show their hande ; Meantime, the Presidential aspirants here are wait- ing and watching, and cooling things dowa.

Senator Seward—Another Slave Case J ete that ceriain New York correspon, are makieg themecives very busy in bestowing, indi- rectly, « great deal of credit oa Mr. Seward for not only abstaining from all agitation of the slavery question himseli, but also inducing others to ab- stain from it; thus exercising a wholesome restraint on the demagogues of the North. Now, the trath of the whole matter is simply thie: — Governor Seward is exceedingly anxious to re- tain some forty clerke and custom house officers in office, whom Mr. Maxwell, the Collector of your port, wishes very much to send adrift. Go- vernot Seward also knows that there is quite & disposition ia certain quarters to tarn other friends and intimate associates of bia out of office.

If you will keep my friends in office, 1 will not agitate,” promises Governor Seward. *‘Now, won’t you let them stay?” Mr. Maxwell, I believe, has led in his ultimatum ; but Go- vernor Seward wants to send him out of the coun- try into honorable exile. Governor Seward wants his friends to go for General Scott, and he has just 8 many active friends as the government can fiad employment for. Thus stands the case now; but I believe that, after all the hard will be a move on the Lest of Jani le Governor Seward has already the list ef the new cabinet of General Scott. John M.

Yesterday was, undoubtedly, the merriest Christ- mas that has transpired in Baltimore for many years, and our storekeepers did an immense bu- siness, notwithstanding it was anticipated that Jenny Lind had carried off all the spending money of our citizens. The store of your enterprising agents, Messrs. William Taylor & Co. was thronged until midnight, on Tuesday, and quite a large business was done, yesterday morning, in the sale of annuals, gift books, &e. The case of Henry Long, in New York, the al- leged fugitive slave, attracts much attention in this city, and at Richmond the excitement in rela- tion to it is very great. ey so well known that one-half the people of Richmond could tes- tify to his identity, anda considerable number in this city also kne im by sight.

The steamship Libertador, built for the Venezue- lean government, under the superintendence of Ambrose H. Thompson, Esq , has so far progressed towards completion that she is to make a trial trip to-morrow. She has her armanent on board, con- sting of two pivot guns onthe bow and stern, and eight carronades. Quite a sensation was occasioned here to-day by 4 telegraphic despatch from Baltimore, stating that fears existed of the wreck of the steamboat, on board of which Jenny Lind, Mr. Barnum, and the other artrstes in her suite, had embarked at Wilmington, N.C., bound to Charlesten. It bears, however, the impress of falsity, as the steamers never go out when a storm 18 apprehended, and be- sides, no news could have reached Baltimore, as the southern telegraph has been out of order since the storm.

This was an action brought by en eld lady and her children, who own a farm of about 49 acres in extent, situated about one mile from the station house in Weet Newton, 44 acres of arable land covered by some 400 frutt trees, 300 of which were bearing apple trees, andthe rest of other kinds of fruit trees, and five acres of wood land. She and her children seek to recover of the ci’ Boston the eum of $32,000 for alleged dami accruing from the taking of her land by Commissioners of the city, and the extraordinary drainage of the same from the tunnelling of a hill to carry the Cochituate equeduct through it and the other lands of the farm—$30,000 for the 44 acre lot, and $2,000 for the five acre lot. On the part of the plaintifis, evidence was offered showing that all the wells of the neighborhood had given out for the most of the year since the building of the equeduet, which did not occur before, and that the fruit trees had not since borne fruit, and that the city have ee eleven families in the neighbor- hood partially or fully during the year with water, in consequeace of the want of supply from the causes alleged.
