New York, saturday, December D, IS43. !;
From Washing ton-Importa ant Movement
Plans OF the Presidential Campaign.
The private accounts from Washington are no,
beginning TO be very interesting. most perfec
union has at length been completed among all IN
clements OF the democratic party in the House o
Representatives. These members, numbering near
y one hundred and twenty-six, have had severa
caucuses, and have almost completed their arrange
Inents Tor the presidential campaign.
In addition TO the election OF Mr.. Jones, the new
Van Buren, Speaker, we have already mentioned
that all the other officers of the House nominated
are Van Buren, men, including Blair and Rives as
the printers of that body From the consultations
among all the elements of the party, we learn thai
the following is the form of the arrangements for
the next campaign, entered into, and agreed upon,
by the combined democracy of Congress-
President in lsA. Martin Van Buren,.
Wee President do. "A Southern Man.
Secretary OF State, lsi4. Thomas IL Benton
Secretary Of the Treasury, do. James Buchanan
perhaps, but if not, he is to be provided for
Secretary OF the Navy. 1900. An EASTERN Man
fostmaster GeneIai. A Western Man.
Foreign Ministers, &c .......,.. Unsettled
These arrangements were talked over, and un.
derstood among the confidential friends of all the
leaders, before the different sections went into the
caucus The selection OF the officers of the House
oi Representatives, grew out of this preliminary ar.
rangement, and although they may have been all
IN favor OF Mr.. Van Buren, as the present can.
dldate, they and others will gradually adopt these
views and give them out TO the democ through
the country
II Is also understood that Mr. Calhoun and his
friends, al no distant day, will take occasion 10
give public adhesion 10 these arrangements, and
TO unite their forces with the other democratic ele-
ments IN favor of certain general measures to be
matured at this session. and TO be entered upon at
once The Baltimore Convention will do little
else than select a candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency, and organize popular and united appeal
10 the country
In these arrangements, Captain Tyler and the
puard are entirely left OUT and 1t is probable that
the whole force OF his administration will be di-
rected against the democracy in the canvass-not
because he hates Clay less, but because he hates
Van Buren, more. The last injury is always felt
the keenest
In relation to the movements during the present
session, II is also understood that the democracy in
the House will modify the present tariff, so as to
increase the revenue equal to the expenditures and
10 payhe public debt if possble-that this modifi-
cation VIII be constructed on so very moderate a
principle OF discrimination as almost to look like
what abstractIonlsts call free trade-that the one
hour rule and the previous question will be rigidly
enforced, so as to cut of talk and produce work
giving only SIX or ten speakers on each 10 de-
bate each queson-hat some resolution will be
passed or animation be made in the House relative
10 the lexas questlon-hat bill will be passed to
establish civil and military positions in the Oregon
terrltory-that the Treasury note system of John
=. Spencer's invention will be abolished and
the exclusive specie principle incorporated in all the
financial transactions of the government and that
some measures of post Office reform will be ma
tured and passed
These are understood to be the views of the de-
mocracy relative to the action of the House In
The Senate, the wings predominant and on
them Will be cast the responsibility of defeating
these measures
On the other hand, the wings are organizing their
plan OF battle, and IN few weeks, the two great
contendIng parties will be deeply at work in Con-
gress, In preparation for the before the peo
pie next summer. 1t will soon be stirring time
HE OUTRAGE ON THE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY
By THE RECENT EXPRESS Beach attempts to make
an apology for the suppression of the principal COM
nerclal news in his extra Of Thursday evening
and, indeed, he has some reason to attempt such
thing. Even on that evening the feeling was so
strong against him, and the excitement so powerful
that he began to be alarmed at his own impudence
and atroclous attempt TO cheat the community
He now says that II was by accident that the prin-
cipa and most important items of the foreign news
those relating TO the cotton and other markets
were left out of the extra This is, probably, the
best excuse he could make in the circumstances.
1t resembles very much the excuse that Mr.. Ma
cready might make if he were to present the play
OF Hamlet with the part of the Prince omitted, and
apologize afterwards TO the public by saying that
the part was left ouby accident, but that the public
might depend on 1t that on the next performance
the part of Hamlet would beput in (!
But this excuse will not avail the miserable
Spectator We are crediby informed that on the
very night on which he received the news, com.
mercia gentleman called at his office to make some
inquiry ia relation TO the intelligence received by
the steamer, and Beach said in reply-"If you give
me $50 will show you the London Times -
ms indicates at once the character and integrity
OF this contemplate specuator in everything
Ii we had received the news as we would bv a
special express-had we not depended on the good
faith OF Harnden Cove should have given all
the news in the third of the time supplied the
commercial community with the fullest details, and
given them free access to every source of nforma-
ton in our possession.
STRANGE CONDUCT OF THE Posi- OFFICE DEPART
NENT.-We are credbly informed that the Pos,
Otflce Department has made an arrangement with
Beach, by which he has authority, the same as ,
suo-post office department. to transmit papers
parcels, and any thing from New York to Buffalo
Boston, and any where he peases. Considern,
the tolerably well-known character of the man
and the frequent exhibitions of his Just and respec
