From Washing ton-Opening OF Congress.
Our accounts from Washington last evening, are
quite interesting 1t will be perceived from re-
ports of the organization Of the House, that the re-
cusant States were admitted at once, and that Mr.
Jones' the Van Buren, candidate for Speaker was
elected by the very large vote of l2S. This vote
probably combines all the various degrees of the To-
cofoco party.
On the subject OF Printer, the caucus on Monday
morning. could not agree upon a candidate, but
probably Blair Il Rives will be the successful ones
These movements in the House of Representa-
tves are very important and very significant. They
indicate, beyond the possibility of doubt, that
MIR. Van Buren, Is the favorte candidate of the
Congress, and that all the elements Of the party
comprising the friends of Calhoun, of Cass, of Bu-
chanan, of Johnson, and of Benton, have united on
the Undertook politician az the forlorn hope. The
Baltimore Convention viii only confirm the senti-
ments Of Congressman select a candidate for the
Vice Presidency.
We expect, therefore, to a strong and vigorous
movement of all these leaders, including the rank
and file, during the present session Of Congress.
The friends of Mr.. Clay must now entirely depend
on their own forces, numbers and cause-not on
the divisions or quarrels of the democracy In
fact. from this day forward, the Of the wings
looks melancholy enough-the "natives" have
finer prospect by far Indeed the hopes of the coun-
try now almost rest with "Young America"
TIE News FROM NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
THE HeRALp.-Perhaps there never has been an in
stance IN which the superiority Of our arrangements
and management have been more visible than in
the publication of the news from Washington yes
terday morning. We gave from our correspondents
the most full and accurate accounts Of the very i'm
portant dolngs at Washington, in relation TO the
next Speaker and the next President and we have
done this we may almost say exclusively, as only
one other paper had even an intimation OF the i'm
portant events which had TRANSFERRED
Yet very curious to observe the impudence and
emptiness of many Of our contemporaries Fol
example, the Express, which boasts SO much of all
Its arrangements, had nothing but few meagre
lines, without syllable Of the details. The Til
ba1me hadn't a word! We suppose that the con-
dnctor OF that PRINT was too busily engaged with
the last project of FOURIER or some new discovery
insdieteucs and couldn't be expected to attend TO
such trfng matters as the defeat or victory of the
The Calhoun organ did not even know-blissful
ignorance-that they were completely demolished;
getting up in the morning with the greatest conf
dence that they were carrying all before them, and
only becoming convinced of their sad mistake after
having read the Herald twice over, and rubbing
their eyes into perfect inflammation.
But the most amusing thing of all, was that in
the penny Sun. They had flaming letter, dated
on monday morning, at 5 O'clock" probably
some time after the mali had left, which reached
this city on Monday evening, and which thus pur-
ported to cover the whole time during which the
most important events had occurred But not
syllable did this very diligent correspondent say
about what took place on Saturday and Monday.
Not single word. This s really most laughable
II shows most conclusivey, if any proof of that had
been wanted, that the letters from Washington in
the Sun concocted in the Office of that print,
and dated to order here. And then the Plebeian,
also, the official organ of Mr.. Van Buren,, had not
a syllable about the choice of Speaker, or the
meeting of the caucus. And this, although its edi-
tor was on the spot! What organ for party
How long does Mr.. Van Buren, expect to prosper
with such newspapers-such organs
MOVEMENTS OF THE New PARTY THROUGHOUT
THE CoUNTRY.-The beacon fame appears to be
movements of the American Republicans are at,
tracing the keenes attention. Their spirit is gra-
dually infusing itself into the whole mass of the
people.
A, Washington, meeting of the Association or
gained there, was recently held, and they have
published circular explaining their creed, and ex-
hibiting their true position and views. They very
properly caution the friends of the cause against ex
pressing oninion ,non anv raloiouc oueS,;op &c
such.
At Albany, preparations are in progress for the i'm.
mediate organization of an Association, and auxili-
aries in every ward. In the villages and towns Of
this State the work Of organization is rapidly 60
ing on. AT Flushing, they had great meeting the
other day, and the proceedings were characterized
by the utmost degree of enthusiasm Before six
months the whole Union will be pretty well organ
lied, and in another year Young America" will
have all the machinery of party organization in full
operation.
The wings, meanwhile, in a state Of great alarm,
are attempting a counter movement. They are or.
gaming also. Last evening they had meeting o
the old Broadway rotten-appe committee in thin
city for that purpose. And ON the 22d Of February
she intand TO have Simultaneous meetings all ovel
the country for similar purposes. They won't be
able TO swallow up the natives. The ocofocos are
concentrating their forces. Van Buren, is it seems,
10 be the only candidate, and the friends Of the
other competitors are falling into his ranks
Thus the prospect is, that the lwo old par
ties will be completely organized, and each
present united front next year, which the
new party, also efficiently organized--with It's
ramihcations extending to the remotea districts Of
the Union, and it's strong popular features, COM
mendng it so warmly TO the affections OF the great
mass Of the people, will present very powerful
ANTAGONIST to the old belgerents. We may look
out tor period, then, Of great and exciting IN
terest New elements enter into the contest, and
on its decision hang results Of greater interes,
than have ever yet followed any Presidential cam
