Our Washington Correspondence. i Wasnincroy, Dee. 1, 1863, The Administration and the New York frouble—Real Policy of the New York National Democrats—The Speakership— Boyd ws. Disney. A distinguished leader of the New York national demo- orats, just arrived in tewn, bas thrown some new light on ‘the New York controversy and the real policy of the pa- tional democrats, This policy is, first, to briog the administration to a po- sition of neutrality in regard to the New York rebellion— ‘thet is to say, to a recognition of the doctrine of non inter- vention cn the part of the fedoral government in the local polities of the States. That point being achieved, the New York democracy will soon be consolidated upon the old national platform, leaving the free soil leaders to take their own course But it ia admitted, that in order to bring the admints- | tration to this position of neutrality, there must be at teast two changes in the Cabinet; and they are to be ef- feoted by the public action and the private intercourse of the people's representatives with the President. Bat ahort of the removal or resignation of Me: ars. Marcy and Guthrie there will be a lack of harmeny; for though men ‘may cry peace—peace—the:e will be no peace while they who bave invaded the boundaries of State rights, are re- taired in the ministry. Recondly—It fa not the policy of the New York nation- aldemocrats to make war upon the State rights demo- orate of the South. They will leave the party in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, to se:tle their own quarrels among themselves, upon the aforesaid doctrine of non- intervention in other people’s affaira; while, at the same time, the New York nationals all recogoise #6 other na- ‘tioval platform than the Union, the cenatitution, and the compromises resting upon the constitution, ‘Thus far it has been believed that the policy of the New York hunkers is to compel the Georgia democracy to re- atore Gov. Cobb to his ascendancy on the Union platform of 1851, and Clemens, in Alabama, and Foote in Missis- sippi. Batitis no such thing. And it has been also be- lieved that the Dickinson people would also require the dircharge of Gen. Davis from the War Department, asa cocession leader against the compromise measures before their passage and after taeir passage. But, if we understand the views of tke distinguished gentleman who will no doubt be the /eader of the national ‘democrataim the House, they will make no war upon the ty in Georgia, Alabama, or Missisaippi, nor by anattack upon the Secretary of War. Southern socessionism was ‘out the result of a war of self-defence against the en- croachments of Northern abolitionists, It was taken up Jas the extreme remedy against Northern incendiaries in what was believed to be an alarming exizency. They tried the {aiue against the cession of the bole of California to the North in Alsbama, Mis sissippi and Georgia. But the act had been adopted by Jor gresa—the people of there States acquiesced, and the strike for secession wes silenced. But, because & portion lof the Svuthera democrata do not recognise the justice of iving the whole of California to the North, it is not the Ipolicy of New York hunkers to tabco them. Their ac- Fjuiescerce in the adjustment of 1850 is enough, and their yp nions concerning the injustice of a single measure are far from comprehel any danger to the Union Widely diferent is the amnesty to she Van Buren free he S rulers democrats, who scquiesce in the compro- mise weasures though they may not consent to the jus- kice of the refural of the North to run the line of 36 30 hrough to the Pacific. But while this is done, there can ono esfety in apy farther armistice with a faction hich may again do what it dul in ’48. upon the dir- ent Frovocation, to wit: join hands with the forces xd principles of Gerret Smita, Lloyd Garrison, and Fred. Dougiaax, who openly proclaim their treason to the Union ni the laws of the lard Now, euch is the plan of operations suggested by alead- ng New York democrat by the national civision; andlam Rixpose i to believe that Gen, Cra-, in'the course which he Inay be expected to pursue ia the Senate, will do much 10 corfirm this line of action as the policy of the na. iopals in both houses of Congress. Had Gen Cass ad jocated the line of 36 30 for Californian in the compro- jusiment there are Southern men who believe it nicht have been adopted; but, unfortunately, that line es the policy of Mr. Buchanan, and it would not acswer for Gen. to play second Gidile, as candidate for the esidency, to Buchanan, #0 he led off the Northern 1'in the Senate in 1850 for the whole of Csli ce, at the Baltimore Conven- ion, the Southern States, almost in a body, weat for Buchanan ver and over again, and gave Gen Cass the o-by, through the predominance of State rights dele te, Therefore, if Gen Cassis willing, bis New Yor friends p Congress will ceace to mate war upoa the Southera ecessionis:s as a part of their war with tae Northern ree soilers, Is not the case as plrin as daylight?

DEPARTURE OF THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. We apprehend that Wm. J. Brown , of Ia, special mail agent, leaves Washington this afternoon for the West with copies of the message, to be at once delivered to ail the postunasters of the principal cities of the Great West, so thet they may be ready to hand them over to the publishers of Rewspapers on the reception of tele- graphic despatches notifying them that the official read- ing of the paper kas been commenced in “he halls of Con- gress. We fancy that mail agents only will be employed by the Postmaster Gereral in this bus which has héretofore cost the department considerable, if not un- vecessary, expenditure By sending out there officers thus, nearly all this expense will be saved. Of course the portmasters will be held responsible—the penalty being & forfeiture of their office—for keeping the packages placed in their hands unb-oken until the receipt of orders for the distribution of their contents, THE CURRENT OPERATIONS OF THE TREASURY DE- PARTMENT.

The following is the substance of the resolutions which are to be introduced into the caucus to-morrow night by a distingui: hed Southern member. . They will be support- ed warmly by many members from that section:— The first resolution affirms that the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, in adopting the compromise mea- sures, pledged the party under circumstances of urgent necessity to maintain the compromise of the Constitution at all times and by all means. The second : esolution declares General Pierce's nomina- tion and election to have been the consequence of a uni- versal belief derived from hia past history and political associations that he would honestly fulfil that pledge. The third resolution affirms that the inaugural ad- dress of General Pierce is in conformity with the piedge, and weuld justify the country in expecting his measures and appointments to correspond therewith. The fourth resolution condemns the policy which re- cognizes aboltionism and free soilism as an element of the democratic organization, and which would elerate leading free soilerat tRe sacrifice of Daniel 8 Dickinson, asutterly repugnant to the principle, sentiments and pledges which prevailed with the people in bringing the admipistration into power. The fifth resolution cordially approves the sentiments of President Jefferson’s circular on the subject of inter- ference by the federal government with State polities, ASMODEUS. NEW YORKERS LOBBYING FOR COL. FORNEY, ETC. Wasitnatox, Dec. 2, 1853, Emanuel B, Hart, Edwin Croiwell, ani a big steam- boat ioterest of that character, bays come oa here to lob- by for Forney for Clerk. Mr Cutting also daclares he rather likes Forney because of the Forrest letter. and the Forney men boast that Cutting will lead the otaer nation al democrats by the nose. Forney is charged with hav- ing openly declared that the President would “crush out’? those who opposed his re-election to the Clerkship. The immense outside pressure is brought to bear on Forney, but yet the moral portion of the members hang bick. KEYSTONE THE PRESIDENT AND THE SPEAKERSHIP—THE CABINET V8. COL. BENTON, ETC. Wasutvcrox, Dec 2—11 P. M. From good authority we state that the President to- night bas positively declared that he has never spoken in favor of any candidate for Speaker—that he wishes the House to be agreed to suit it The Cabinet is reported as deciding against Col. Benton’s mar—Mr. Watson—for St. Louis Postmaster. Senator Atchison’s vote may be useful on confirma- tions. D. THE CHANCES FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP NARROWING DOWN—-THE CLERKSHIP—THB CAUCUS, ETC. Wasmnnrox, Dee. 2—1134 P. M. It i und: retood that the Ohio and Indiana democratic delegation have united upon Me. Disney for Speaker to- night. Still, by many thp chances are thought to be between Messrs. Boy and Orr. Mr. Boyd is said to have the administration influence as their first choice, Judge Young, of Ilipois, is an open candidate for Clerk, against Forney, But the latter has pledges which may secure him, There may be an effort to-morrow night to admit re- porters into caucus, All resolutions on principles will be laid on the table as out of place. The national democrats will de what they can. Mr. Magraw’s card against Forney creates considerable excitement. The President yesterday culled at the War Office to as certain if any despatches had been received concerning the slaughteifef Col. Gunnison and party in Utah, No official advices have arrived, but the report is supposed to be true. © OMINOUS MOVE OF MR.

Mr. Benten has selested the seat and desk Iéng ocoupied by John Quiney Adams, on the whig side of the Hous this is ominous. The anti Banton members have been as- sured that Mr. Watson, Benton's candidate for the Post Office at St. Louis, shall not be appointed. General Foote has issued an address decliniog to run asa candidate for United States Senator for Mississippi. Senators James, of R. I.; Thompson, of N. J.; Stuart, of Michigan, and tome thirty representatives arrived to” day. There is unquestionably s quorum of the House now here. ‘The Sentinel of thia morning bas a sharp article ie reply to the Union’s declaration that the Baltimore platform neither expressly approved nor disapproved of the compro mise, It says this anmouncement has produced ua- paralleled excitement and sensation. ‘The Union has suother artisle this morning, in which it says that the Baltimore platform only expresses acqui- escence ip, not approval of, the compromise. Our Harrisburg Correspondence. Harnisnvxa, Pa , Nov. 30, 1963, The Clerkship of the House of Representatives. ‘The strenuous efforts making in certain interested quar- tera to foree John W. Forney into the Clerkship of the House at Washington are cer'ainly very remarkable, when we reflect upon the real character and calibre of the man. Letters and editorials lauding him as the im- personation of purity and patriotism—as the battle-axe and main pillar of ¢emocracy, with talents sublime and principles unblemished, are extensively republished to sway Congressmen in his favor, against the evidence of their own senses and observation. These efforts, the handiwork of the honorable the Washington lobby gang and their allies, in behalf of a skilfal leader, bring vivid- ly to wiad the familiar fable from Pilpay, as related by Macauley. It is so exquisitely apposite that its repetition here needs no apology :— RA pious Brabmin, (it is written,) made a vow that on 4 certain day he would sacrifice a sheep, and on the ap pointed morning he went forth to buy one. There lived in hia neighborbood three unscrupulous rogues, who knew of his vow and laid 9 scheme for profi og it. The first met him and said, “Oh, Brahmi) it thou bay a sheep? I have one fit for sscrifice.’”’ “It is for that very, purpose” sald the holy man, “that I came forth this day.’ Them the imposter opened a bag avd brought out of it am unclean beast—an vgly dog=mangy lame, and blind. Thereon, the Brabmin cried out, “Wretch, who touchest things im- pure, and utterest ihings untrue, callest thou that cur a fheey!? ‘Truly,’ answered the other, ‘it is « ah the Gnest fleece, ard of the sweetest desh. Oh, Brahi it will be ao offering most acceptable to the gode.’’ ‘Friend,’ seid the Brahmin, * er thou or I must be blind.” Just then one of the accomplices came up. “Praised be the ," eaid this we rogue, “that I have been ravec the trouble of going to the market for This in much a cheep as I wanted. For how much wilt thou sell tr’ When the Brahmin heard this bis mind waved to e one swinging in the air ata holy festival. hhe to the new comer, “take heed whst thou | is no sheep, but an unclean our.” “Oh, Brah the new comer, “thou art drunk or ma‘.’’ tive the third confederate drew near. ‘Tet us sk this man,” said the Brabmin, “what the creature is, and I will stand by what he shall sy.” To this the ot era agreed; and the Brabmin called out, “Oh, stranger! what dost thou call this beast?” “Surely, O° Brahm n! said the knave. “itis a fine sheep,” Taon'the Brahmin said, “Surely the gods have taken away my senses;” and he asked pardon of him who carried the dog, and bought {tat avery extortionate price, and offered’ it up to the gods, who, being wroth at hid unclean sacrifice, emote him with 8 sere disease ip all his joints.” The meaning of this fable is apparent on the surface, Tt is intended to caution us against the gross and irra: tional impositions of puffers. It reveals the pernicious system under which bad books, bad morals, bad mea sures, and bad men, are raised into public favor. This system is now rife, and working vast evil in the moral and political world. It is almost exclusively con- fined in its application to meretricious pretension. Ster- ling merit works its way into favor without its aid. So general is its adoption, that excessive puffing of s nostrum, a book, or a man, may be taken as prima facié evidence that they are utterly worthless—that the affec- ted sheep is nothing but « miserable blind dog. To return to Forney. He has probably written more puffs than any man living, and may be aid to owe his succers in life entirely to promiscuous adulation, He has instinctively chosen his flelds of action where this art was in most demand, and his rewards have been propor- tionate. As a speculator in legislation he stands at the head of the entire class, Too many lawgivers can bo reached by flattery. AJl professors of the lobbying art look to him as their accomplished bead, and all who wish to obtain improper legislation recure his services. Tau the league of champions who assisted at his last elections and are straining to elect him again, is powerful and perva ing. At writicg and talking the public into absurd errors, playing curious! and diffeult tricks, marring rea- son, the rogues who played upom the deluded Brabmin were not their equals. Papers ail quarters speak as they bid, correspondents write as they dictate, and thus any amount of public opinion is manufactured in favor of Me. Forney. But, Heaver be praised! Congressmen have learred to know more than Grahmin, and will not again be convinoed by lying catiff:, in the teeth of their senses, that a dog in @ sheep. ‘These ingenious champions, in making out, as they do, a perfect character for Forney, pervert the whole code of honor and morals. By common received notions Forney is a very dan; erous man for one to associate with who ‘efond of a glass,” for whilst thus put ‘in a convivial ood” in his company, ¥. would draw from him his secrets, and afterwards betray them to others. This looks atrocious to honorable men; yet Forney deliberate- ly penned a request to a friend to perpetrate such in- famous treachery precisely. He is known in Harrisburg, as well as Wash'ngton, as a habercasher of small legislation, and « bold operator in etting through large appropriations for those who gi fiberal por centage to the lobby. He is especially Inuded for having steod by the South. True, he did no; but that he did so was owing to the act dental fact that his interest lay on that side of the ques- If more money could have been made, or better ships obtained, or profitable laws passed, by advo cating the abolition side of the question, Forney would have been there. Those who have noticed his cou: towards men, and upon banks, tariffs, special appropr tious, &e,, know that be is alwsys where most menoy is to be gathered, Notwithstanding such is his established character, he is foisted upon Congress as icimaculate in reputation, god-like in talents, irreristibie in influence, His bombastic addresses and his flippant editorials are pronounyed the grardest efforts of genius, and he is styled the frat man in Peri sylvania, where he never in reality got even as high as second fiddler, and is genorally regarded as a fickle, empty, conceited protende: Personal InteHigence.

Aldermaw Smitir, on the part of the deputation, ac- quainted Mr: Mitche) with the object of their visit.

A resolution was unsnimously adopted towait on Mr. Mitchel and to offer him the ities of the Irish societies, and a Srpasation was appoiated to communi- cate the wishes of the meeting. Ascording! tion called on Mr. Mitchel, and Mr. John nce Soe evita ioe ta Mr. Mitchel. el said felt greatly bonored by the cempli- ment paid to him; but for och reason that he bad declined otber invitations of the same kind, he was com- pales to decline this also. He understood it was in- nded to give him @ public dinner, and he belfeved a re- quitition was in progress of siguature, embracing all seo- tions of the great American community, and he thought it better that cther demonstrations ef opinioa should merge in that. He took the liberty of saying #0, not because he desired any honor for himself, but because he believed the cause of Irish freedom would’be best promo- ted in that way. The deputation then retired, greatly disappointed, though Soqnistcisg in the soundness of Mr. Mitchel’s reason for declining the proposed honor. At 8 o'e'ock last evening the shipwrights of New York proceeded ip a body to the residence of Mr. Mitehel, aa- com panied by a band, to give him a serecade, It wae a picturesque sight. Every one of these mea carried his xe upon his shoulder, and the appearance they present ed reminded one of the ancient Romans marching to battle A finer set of fellows we never beheld.

The ehipwrights and the mechanics in general were the kind of men he wanted to see The whole ten¢ency of what he had written was in vindication of the rights of Iabor and honest iadustry, and in opposi tion ty pauperisw and public gruel. The dsure of the op pretsion of Ireland was ina nutshell : it was the making of laws for them by foreigners. He did not wish to say woything against Englishmen as Englishmen. but he did not want them to legislate for his country. It :would be just us reaw rable that Mexicaus should make laws for the State of New York He only objected to the Roglish ae governors of Ireland, and consumers of the frutis of the roil. By this times tremendous crowd bad gathered outside, and the anxiety to see and hea? Mr. Mitchel was very reat The shipwrights were not satisfied with what had eo Gone for ther by deputation. Tasy wanted to hear Mr. Mitchel bimself. ‘and they cailed for him most stran- uouély. At length Mr. Mitchell uppeared at the window, amidst the most tremendous cheering ani excitement Be raid he hat often heard of their clippers, and he had seen ther, too, He knew that they had beaten the ships <fevery other maritime power in the world. (Cheors.) He loved to meet the honest artisans he saw before bim, becatse he knew they would not come there if it were not for principle, and to vindicate the cause of republicanism. The object dearest to hia beart had always been that labor should receiva its re- ward, instead of making men able-bodied paupers. You ‘ou are in the 4 you ought to that you are not #0 much mould, to be shov elled about by every experimentalist in human flesh, (Three cheers for the true men of 1848, and three groans for the packed jury of 1843, were here oalled for and ret ponded to with » hearty good will) It ts hardly worth your while to groan that jury now. The verdist was never respected, even by the villans wh» contrived it. I know that they had their dupes; but the fueling of all honorable and intelligent{men'Wwas sgainst them, bat, most of all, republicans like you.

(Groat cheering.) 1 cannot fini languago to desoribe the high hopes that fill my heart since { came to New York. It is bard to say whether I have been greeted wost warmly by the Irieh or Americans. Here the Irish oried out‘—‘By the Irish!” and the Awericers--"No, by the Americans!” and both vied with each otber for the honor. ‘There were then loud cries for Meagher and Smith. Mr. Smith briefly adcressed the audierce, and said he had enly d ne his duty. Mr. Mxacuien then came forward, in obedience to the ro- peated calls of the multitude, and said—In other countries men were thought little or nothing about unless they had “Jords”? befcre their names or “esquires”’ after them; but here this was regarded as blasphemy against God’s nobility, Here “stars and gartera”——he did’nt mean “stars and stripes” (laughter)—here stars and garters added nothing to humanity. (Applause.) Those axes he saw on their shoulders wers something to be proud of. (Applause ) He saw something in those demonstrations jeeper and more significant than bands of musicand cho rnges of praise to John Mitchel, much as he loved hit, and much as Mr. Mitchel deserved their homage, It was the determination to make Ireland a republic. (Great cheering.) And all these manifestations were useful only ro far as they were expressions of that feeling. (Ap- plause ) ‘The shiperights then procee ted homewards, and shortly aiter Mr, Meagher left, but met them at the Hamilton ferry. when they ercorted him to t the band playing the national airs of rica, witb the stara and stripes borne in e van, Mr Mitchel has accepted an invitation from the citi zens of Borton tow grand entertainment in that city, The names of the deputation who waited on him are Ser- geant Thomas 0’ O'Brien, Tt ine sing thi ish of all shaces<f opinion have united ia it, Old Irelanders aa well ax Young Icelanders, and this seems to be the effect ever) where of Mitchei’s arrival in this country.

Oliver Wendall Holmes upon Browning and Tennyson. De. Ouiver Wespaut. Horins delivered the sixth and lest lecture of his course upon the English Poets, last evening at Hope Chapel. The subject of the lecture was Tennyson and Browning. A very large aud fashionable audience was in attendance, who were all, it is pre- sumed, somewhat curious to hear the Boston humo:lat— the man who “never dares to write as funny as he can” —discource upon the merits of the dreamy sentimental- ism of Tonry#on, and the passionate earnestness of Browning. He commenced by renf¥rking that the poets of whom be had spoken hitherto weres)l dead, and belong to the past; but ar the subject of fs prevent lectare he had chosen Tennyson, the present Poet Laureate, and Browning. Tennyson is a favorite with a great many people, and with good reason. His pootry, it is true, is not popular with the rasses, ci pollot, but it is rather the poetry of the drawingroom and the boudoir, He seems soverelgrly ignorant of the masses, Frm his poems we should judge him to be a shy and retired man, more proud than vain, who loves his race better than he likes them The firs: thing that strikes us in Tennyson's try, is the exquisite choice of words and the velvet- ike wi ftness of its melody. We next come to his richness of diction ard his immense concentrativeness of meaning. But in the giitter of ornament the great waderlying qualities [should not be forgotten. The spirit of his mnure is subdued, almost melancholy. “In Memoriam’? is a tender sigh from beginving te eud The lecturer re- ferred to the “ Princess” for pathos, and to “ Marianna”? for imagination. From the latter he quoted the well known passage so full of suggestivencss:— AN day within the dreamy house ‘The doors upon their hingos creaked, The bluefly aang in the pane; the mou: Behind the mouidering wainso xt squ Or from the crevice pecred about. Old faces glimmered through the doors, Old footsteps trod the upper floore, Old voices called her from without. “Jn Memoriam,”’ we mast read in quiet, suffering the de- licious liner, as Coleridge said of sleep, to ‘ slide into the soul.” Such tender affection, such infinite sorrow, such simplicity and truth, the lecturer bad seon nothing like in the whole range of elegiac verse. Bat Tennyson did rot write for the masses, (he aristocratic splendor of his verse sbrivka even from contact with the unappre- ciatiye many. He moves amidst pomp snd splendor in stately palaces, and in the glitter of exclusiveness, and these tastes never cease to be manifest in his poems. It is oply at intervals that the spirit of the times declares itself fn his productions. The Poet Lau-eate, according to the leeturer’s opinion, was apt to show Itself in the ten¢ency of the bard’s worka It senders him more con- servative, and in his aspirations for the future, he evidently dislikes some of the means used for’ the atiaioment of its golden promises Th» lecturer con- ten‘ed tha’ Tennyson in his style belougs to the Anglo-Hellenic school, and that all the ancient simjlicity, directness’ and strength are apparent, ‘There in w good deal of correspondence between Keats and fennsron. They both exbidit that keen rensibility to beauty, together with aninfirm and wouk purpose. These sepritive men are undervalued by the go ahead and wtili- tarian men of these times, Reauty abould be valned for its own avke alone. Tennynoa, live others gf this school, has not the e'ements of a popular p+t The lecturer apoke very briefly of Browning, and quoted copiously from his longer pose, There wax's grent con- trast betwern these two poets, The force and energy of Browning at times amounted tc fury. He was evidently a good bater, and all his pooms showed strength, fre, and violence of expression. The lse.urer exatmired the practical constraction of ‘ Paracelaus”” at reme length, and concluded by expressing his warm miration of Browning’s last published poems—not repul lvbed here, we believe—entitled “Christmas Eve” a ‘Faster Day.”” They form, taken together, he raid, o1 of the most pungent evangelical discourses that hai been seen for many a day. Itwas the work of ands man of metile. rt Te conelusicn, the lecturer gave © geveral resumé of bis course of lectures and touched, in passing, upon two or three whom he had not mentioned, smong whom he dwelt wpcn Thomas flopd, and deaiy 8 nated the ‘Song of the Shirt’ and the “4 6 of Sighs’? ‘aa the two mighty lyrics that had reached the hearts and consciercesof more of the Proud and wealthy than many a rermon. He concluded by thanking the audisnce for the patience and attention they had bestowed upon him during this and previous lectures, aad bade them farewell yn the shape of @ neat and apposite original poem.
