Wasuineton, Feb. 7, 1851. The Presidential Question—Project of a New Na- tional Democratw Platform—Am Opening in the Fog— Prospects of the Campaign. Things are getting stale. The session has been flat. The proceedings of Congress prosy and dull; the debates dry and stupid; no excitement; 20 Point; no pungency. After the volcanic effer- vescence of the last session, we have not only a suspension of hostilities, an armistice, a grounding of arms ; but a drowsy stagnation, dull and heavy as the Dismal Swamp. But there is an under- current worthy of examination. No man knows exactly where he belongs, or where to go, or what to do. The whigs are sa- tisfied with the admunistration; but not at all certain of the existence of a whig party, or a whig platform, or what is to be, or when or how it is to turn up. The democrats are sure they have a party, scattered about somewhere ; and the impor- tant question with them is, how it is to be re- united, who can do it; and what movement is first necessary to put the ball in motion. Some con. cessions of principle must be made, to secure the Southern rights wing of the democracy, if possible; but that is a delicate operation, and requires con- sultation, study, and the putting of the old wise heads together with some of the leading ultras in deliberate consultation ; and that, too, is a deli- cate proceeding. But this is certain: unless the Southern ultras are conciliated, the nationality of the democratic party 18 gone ; and they can do no- thing, ond can effect noth ng, with a national can- didate before the people. Therefore it is, that we are disposed to credit the hints whispered in our private ear, that the demo- eratic party in 1852 will be organized not only upon a Union platform, but upon strong Southern round; and that the first step will be to reconcile, by libe- ral concessions, the ultras of the South, and to bring them back in this way, as backsliders are re- covered to the church, by the exercise of charity and the bole oil of consolation. Mr. Bright has given notice of a billto amend the fugitive slave luw; that is to zay, to provide for a more efiective execution of that act, by more stringent pains and penalties. Thisis to be a peace- offering to the recugant and mutinous Southern de- mocracy. On the other hand, Major Borland, whois alsoa doctor, has presented a memorial from Arkansas, praying Coagress to take steps for the peaceable acquisition of the beautiful island of Cuba, fincluding the delicious attractions of Ha- vana, and the key of the Gulf, which is supposed to be locked up in the Moro Casile. This is a straw—but it shows the drift of the wind. Was not Texas, and was not Oregon,a part of the platform of Is44 "t And did not Col.’ Poik carry it out to the full length ia the re-annexation ot Texas, the re-occupation of Oregon, and in the somes of Utah, New Mexico, California, the Bay of San Francisco and the gold mines? And does any man suppose that when Gea. Scott is go- ing to run upon the re-annexation of Canada, that the democrats will not have some equivalent in the other scale. They will, as sure as Cuba is the queen of the Antilles—the emeralgof the Gulf —the delight of all eyes—the desire c¥ail lovers of good cigars, dark-eyed damsels, sugar pl intations, coflee fields, and the climate of the Hesperides. Bound to be so. [tis destiny. We must submit to it. Here we have a break in the fog--a glimpse of the land—a point or two for reorganization from which to take our bearings, We say that there are democrats who count upon a recoguition of their ey upon a new platform—a constitutional State rights platform, oa strong Southern ground, | for the preservation of Southern rights, as the pest means of securing the a operation and support of the Southern ultras. + Bright’ '6 notice is broad hint in that eos lage aad mark you, the Na- tional Democratic Conveation, at Baltimore, will _ boldly recommend to the country the policy of en- | tering into negotiations with Spain and all con- cerned for the purchase of Cuba, and for buying it, if it is to be hi 4, at the cost of the war with Mexi- co. Such a ticket, backed up by Sam Houston, will be awful. The next queetion is, will the Southern ultras will be a waste of hos- pitality, unless the guests invited comein. Doubt- ful. South Carolina is still in her tantrums, “and may play the deviland break things,” before we can get the new arrangement under way. Bat suppose their gallant — tay down their arms and uastrap these coffins from their backs, and sub- thing? Doubtful. The recommendation of the Nashville Convention will be very apt to be followed up by a Southern sec- tional convention for the nomination of a Southern ticket for the Presidency; and if that is done, the | regular compromise whigs and submissive demo- crats must either unite or lose the South. Just se. Clear as the light of day. Before the rene ot ‘this Congress, we ex- ct there will be a recommendation from the uthern aoe men, of both houses, recommend- ing the people of the South to keep aloof from the movements and overtures from either the whi, or democratic parties of the North; to keep aloot, and to stand firmly upon their reserved rights and their reserved strength for action, as the occasion may require, in detence of their peculiar institu- tions when the ¢ to act shall come. And we have some reason to assume that the extremis's of es Seuth, in Congress, ure, at present, in favor of parate independent Southern Stat hts ticket for the Presidency, to be run south ot Mason and Dixon, and with the express design of election into the House; and for the that the fifteen Southern States, each with one vote, will _— immensely greater relative power he House than w their congressional strength in the electoral colleges. in the latter, Florida will have but three votes against the thirty odd of New York. In the House, her vote will be pasoage: Sag ton to that of New \ork—one againet ¢ representation from eaeh State having but one vore. What then? We still count upon a new national democratic platforrm—the framework of Southern like-ook; and if it shall suit the South better than the nal whig rubric, there 1s still a prospect o wee the Southern States in the grand carnival of In a nut shell—in three worde—this will do. We arrive, then, at these conclusions respectiog the unterrified, though c erably cut up, democra- cy:—They will bave a national convention; the will promulgate @ new set of fundamental princi- | ples—e new platform, based upon State rights and | the protection of the institution of domestic sla- ry against the abolitionist They will hang out the banner, broad and full, for the * ac- quisition of Cuba”—to say nothing of the Sierra on country and Lower California, where there to be some remarkably “ big chunks” of siiver, in the mountains. We count upon a na- tional democratic candidate on this programme, because, if Cass is nominated without Cuba, Hous- ton, independen'ly, will be able to leave him out of sight in the South. k ‘he democratic card, then, 1#:—A National Caa- didate—Retrenchment and [eform—State Raghts —Cube, and eo forth. Now for the whigs. The administration is satisfactory to the whig | arty—eminently ee; but it is not considered the bee. of the party—it ‘ia not goenety contemplated to give it the succession. take onest pride in their executive, they are indiflerent to pushing forward his measures in Con- grees. They are divided upon men; there are se- veral favorites among them for 1 and accord ingly, while the President has the confidence and respect of the whig party, they are not disposed to advance his system of measures as heartily as if he were thegadmitted leader of their party, and their champion for the succession, The democrats = having the nS the administration, re, of course, indifferent. Therefere, the business Of leginiaion drags, and measures of the greatest t to the interests of the people and the proape- ny of the country, are postponed, or evaded, or shoved over from day to day with unpreeedensed ne- gligence. Mr. Fillmore has but few offices left with which to reward the faithful of Congress; he has but a contingent prospect for re-election; he has, therefore, but little of the pap of persuasion, or the power of punishment, to bestow.

The Presidential pot is bubbling up pretty briskly but as yet the ingredients have not sufficiently as- similated to indicate any results. All is, as yet, an undefined mass of speculation. But it is not se difficult to determine who the aspirants for the Presidency are. Among the most pressing at present here, isthe Hon. James Buchanan, whog with a cordon of friends, comprising tearly all tha prominent democratic wirepullers «nd _ political intriguers of Pennsylvama, is pushing and lobbying jn all directions, fishing for the mederate men of the South with one hook, and angling for his owm State with another. All this is very well knowa here; and why the venerable of the Union should have got in such a passion with prightly young fend of the Republic, for merely hinting that Mr.’ Buchaaan may be trying to hoc’ something for himeelf, surpasseth comprehension. The Union ays the ex-Secretary is merely here for the pure jose of attending to the late Mrs, Madison’s wills but, toa gentleman of Mr. Buchanan’s industrya hat would not trnish employment enough to driva off the blue devils. l’ut, notwithstanding all thio strategy, Pennsylvania’s ‘favorite son’ makes but poor headway. At a dinner party, the other evening, among other distinguished sachems pre* sent, were Mr. Buchanan, Father Ritchie, aad Governor Marey—the latter with a bran new pair of unpatched breeches. A good deal of sparring occurred, when one gentleman remarked to Gov. Marcy: ‘ Why, Governor, it is said you are on here to push Mr. Buchanan's claim for the Presi- dency. I don’t think you are doing your friend justice—you don’t move about enough.” r B looked benignly aflable 1 the direction of the ane mor’s seat—all eyes were turaed in the same Big Mr. Marcy, in his usual dry manner, ic ied: ** Well, Mr. ~, the truth is, some people ‘are so d——d hard to hold up, and have such a downward inciination, that, let a mam strain as he will to support him, the lookers on don’t think he 18 supported at all.” Poor Buck As far as *he democratic party is concerned, Mr. Cass has two friends in Congress to any other man in the field. Sam Houston has also a great mapy friends; but his election will be one of those manifest destiny aflairs—a kind of selt acting aflair — that it will go on irrespective of politicians and wire pullers. If he is elected, it will be by a repetition of those political freshets which of late years oc- casionally visit these United States. Ail the in- dications, however, now t to Gen. Cass as the regular democratic candidate, square on the plat- form, fer 1852 fs From the best informed sources, it seems that Gen. Cass stands even better new with the South— that is, with the moderate, constitution i! men of the South—than he has ever done -But who cap say what may turn up before Noy. 186: Among the whig candidates, Gen. Sect Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, are regarded as the prominent men. As for Gen Scott, he is general- iy regarded as the great available, and the elec- tions of Harrison and Taylor are considered as shadowing forth the success which is certain to attend the nomination of Gen. Scott. But the more thoughtful believe that the same reason which prevented Scott’s nomination at Philedel- phia, in 1848, will operate quite as fatally at any future time. It is well known that Gen. Scott stood high—his stock was above and it was believed, in fact, he would receive the nomination; but re at once a letter was produced (oh! why was the General ever taught to write!) in which he appears as the head of a native American move- ment. It was at once felt that he could not ran with this fatal epistle fluttering in his face, and he wes accordingly dropped. If this was considered fatal then, is it not just as much so now! oy be explained; it might be avowed that new light had broken in upon the General's mind; but whilst all this is doing, the de- mocratic candidate is elected. Mr. Fillmore stands well with his party, and with the country, and more than all, many of the leading men of the whig party are willing to allow his claims for election are powerful. He has’ not stated yet, inso many words, that he 1s a candi- date, but he has not denied it, and it 1s understood he will be a candidate before the convention. Mr. Webster is regarded as the great embodi- ment of the compromise measure. He is very strong with the Union men ofall parties, and at the present time would run better, as an independent candidate, than any man in the country. Allthis, however, isas matters now stand. But there is every reason to believe that a new set of platforms wilt be constructed, and that the demo- cratic timber is already being hewed out, Atpre- sent, the canvaes would be more a pee matter than one of princi The old Baltimore platform is out of date—the issues have passedaway. Be- tween the whigs and democrats, where is the line of demarkation! The ancient landmarks are with- drawn—a new set of posts muet be planted. By the way, | have the best authority for stating that the report that Mr. Ewbank, Commissioner of Patents, bas been requested by the President to re- sign, is wholly untrue. So far from that, the Sec- retary is investigating the charges made against him, and with anything buy yoonpg oe. 80 fi As to the fact of beng operating against him, it is all fudge in this country upwards ‘of ht yeara Our Philadelphia ¢ Co reapondence.
