The signs of the times which are daily mani
festine themselves in different sections OF the
country. have alarmed the Executive and has
friends here The Georgia delegates, Nir- Black
and Mr.. Colquett in particular, stirring heay-
EN- and earth to bring Georgia into the fold Of
Van Burenism. The former is Jealous with his
tongue and his pen, and the latter has sent out
printed address of some thirty pages, grossly
misrepresenting General Harrison and his opin-
ions,-calling him federalist and an abolition
lists, and calling the wing party federalists and
abolitionists. This address is sent out by thous-
ands. l have read it, and believe that no greater
amount of matter ever contained half as many
Misrepresentation, MIR. Colquett has falsifed
the character and services of General Harrison
with his eyes open; for the character of his ad-
dress shows that he has not sinned ignorantly but
wilfully, designedly and maliciously.
| The news from Georgia,-an unexpected and
spontaneous feeling in favor of General Harri-
son,-has called forth this unusual and unex.
pected exertion on the part of the Georgia mem
bers. Mr. Berrien's appearance in the field
against Mr.. Van Buren,, has especially alarmed
the party here The effort to counteract thi:
feeling is manifest in the circumstance Of public
documents, Immense numbers of which ar,
printed, $4,000 week in the Senate, at the
public expense, and sent to the south. sGt i.

The news from Alabama is almost equally
promising for the wings. From the district O
Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, a voice has come which
must, think, prompt that representative eithe,

him.

Dear Sir :-Agreeably to your request called
on the Hon. ALBERT SMITH, this morning, and
handed him your note, when, after free and full
conversation, in which he disclamed all intention
of rejecting your character, or, in any manner
whatever abiding to you, in the remarks which
he made in Baltimore, to which you called his at
tention, he handed me the enclosed answer,
which have considered perfectly satisfactory.
Mr.. SMITH did not hesitate, as / was sure he
would not, to disavow any intention, on his part,
of ,younding your feelings, or, in any Manner re-
ferring to you in his remarks-and further stated,
that he had not heard your name connected with
the circumstances alluded to.
am gratifed that whatever impression, il any,
unfavorable to you, has been made in relation to
this matter, it has been so promptly corrected

arrangement that could have been made under
the circumstances in which he was placed. MIR.
Van Burens tact as party leader, was mani
ested in securing his own nomination, and in
bringing each. of the factions composing his par
ty to unite on him, while they oppose each other
Time will also show that MIR, Forsyth had his
part to play, and that he has purpose to answer
in assuming a position which compells Mr. Van
Buren, to retain him in the Cabinet, and protect
his private character by his official station and
party influence.

WASHINGTON, May Is.
The House of Representatives have decided
an important matter before them to-day, in rela-
ton to the printing reports of the select commit
tee who had the subject under consideration.
The House, or the party majority here, have de-
cided that the patronage of the government
ought not to be divorced from the newspaper
press. They have decided also to reduce the
present prices of printing under the law of 1919,
Is per cent. The report of the majority of the
select committee is defeated by vote Of 100 to
9S. The minority were wing members, and ad-
vocated reduction of 25 per cent, and sepa-
ration of the printing from the newspaper press,
after the present Congress. The last branch of
this subject was disposed of by laying motion
to recommit with instructions to report in favor
of separation, upon the table. This was strict
party vote, and disposed of, 104 to SO.
Mr.. Jones asked suspension of the rules, in
order to take up the Sub-Treasury Bill. Two
thirds were necessary to suspend, and the motion
was not carried.
