POLITICAL SPECULATIONS AT
WASHINGTON.

"The following is from Washington
correspondent Of the New York CONNER.
cial Advertiser, under dale of Saturday
evening.
The greatest excitement prevails here
among the Democratic members. Thei
discussions will soon blaze out into open
hostility. A general rupture seems I'M
avoidable. Not less than sixty or seventy
members of the House and Senate, are
now in favor of dropping Mr. Van Buren,
and taking up Cass, Johnson, Tyler,
S;ewart,--any body else.
They say it is folly to nominate Mr.
Van Buren, against certainty Of defec-
ton in their own ranks. The hide and
seek game of the Van Buren, Men on the
Tariff question, the abolition question.
ann the Western improvement question,
has Disguised and alienated the Demo-
Gratis Of the South and the West.
A few days may bring about some
queer results. The approaching Virgin
ia election is one of vast importance, and
if thai results unfavorabIy to Mr. Van Bu>
rem, his game is up. The majority of the
Democratic members here will concert
an effective opposition TO his nomina-
tion."

Sunday evening, from the effects of par

who had been sent for, arrived at his Hotel

painful moment but he was unconscious
of her presence. He died calmly and with
little app earance of physical suffering.
Judge Baldwin was, at the time OF his
death, President Judge ofthe U. S. Circuit
