WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, lS46.
Mr.. Buchanan will leave the Cabinet perhaps in
few days, but 1t is not certain whether he will
60 upon the Bench as has been ruInored. There 10
trouble between him and the President, favored as
1t is thought by others behind the curtain, growing
out OF the Woodward case. Mr. BIS friends have
all along asserted that he has had nothing to do with
that nomination, and therefore was not responsible
for the offence which it had caused to a very large
and, at all times, essential arm of the democratic
patty. Il has even been said that he was not con-
suited upon it. The President, under this view of
the CASE has to bear all the blame if any, that at
taches to it, as well the modification arising from
Woodward's defeat. II was not to be supposed,
therefore, that two persons situated as the President
and Secretary of State were upon this matter, could
remain long together, where elimination and recrl-
mlnatlon was the order Of the day between their
respective friends It Is better they were separated
as soon as possible and let all difficulties arising
from mistakes OF this nature settle down as soon as
possible into eternal oblivion Mr.. Dallas, under
stand, has been an applicant torthe Judgeship. Mr.
Buchanan Is not the only Cabinet officer that is not
upon bed Of roses. Gov Marcy, the incarnation
| OF conservatism in the State Of New York, sees
now, from the course the Legislature of Albany have
taken upon the nomination OF Speaker and public
| ".
Cassidy the radical candidate for printer, has re-
ceived rs votes out of 81 in for that post,
against Croswel and others, SO that the Governor
feels rather queer by this time to find himself with
out patronage IN the War oftice,and without friends
| in the State of New York.
Mr.. Aliens joint resolutions declaratory Of the
plnciple by which the United States will be govern
ed In regard to the interpostion of the powers OF
Europe in the political affairs of America, up
to-day for consideration, and were received refer
red to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and order
ed to be printed by vote OF rs to Il.
The following are the resolutlons:-
Resolved by the Senate and House of
the United States Of America 10 Congress assembled
That recent manifestations of disposition by certain
powers Of Europe to interfere in the political arrange
ments Of this continent with view to the enforcement
of the European principle of the balance Of power"
It, in his Judgment the duty Of the President of the Uni
ted States to call the attention Of Congress to this sub
Of the United States the counter principle Of nonner
venton IL the judgment Of Congress that the announce
ment thus made BY the President was demanded By the
taby expose the relations of peace subssting be-
tween the old world and the new.
President and sensible that this subject has been forced
upon the attention Of the United States by
ment longer to remain SILENT without seeming ready to
submit to- and to invite tho enforcement Of this
to the civilized world the unaiterable resoiu.
ton Of the United States to adhere to, and to
Of 10 in S socs or
political Of the Independent nations Of
America, or further to extend the European system OF
colonies would be incompatible with the indepen-
dent existence Of the nations and dangerous to the IL
berries Of the people Of America and therefore would
incur by the right of selfpreservaton it would just
fy, the prompt resistance Of the United States.
In the early part Of the debate which arose on the
motion to receive, Gen Cass staDed that he wished
to correct idea that had gone abroad in reference
to the chairman OF the Commute on Foreign Rela-
tons introducing these resolutions upon his own
| k.v, ali eknv
members OF the committee. For himself, he was
aware that such was the intention OF the Senator
from Ohio some time previous to the time when he
made the motion, and also that the resolutions met
with his entire appreciation. He believed, too, that
1t was with the other democratic members Of the
same committee. Gen. Cass further maintained
the doctrine that they contained, and which was
set forth IN Mr.. Monroe's and Mr.. Folks messages
and he did not consider it amounted to any conse-
quence whether Senator, on his own responsible
y as a member OF that body, or as a member
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs, in
he was up, II say, upon proper authority, that
the late arrivals from England had brought over no
new propositions from the British Government, in
upon it stood, as it were, Tapped over each other,
and there they still were, without any further action
beyond where they were before the dissolution OF
Sir Robert Peers ministry.
The large vote tor the reception OF Mr. Aliens
resolutions is great triumph over Mr. Calhoun, who
struggled hard to prevent them from coming before
the Senate. 1t was regular pitched battle between
the South Carolinlan and the Senator from Ohio
for the ascendancy in public opinion. The former
has been most signaly defeated, supported as he
was by the whole wing vote, except Woodbridge
and Siinms Several Of Mr.. Calhoun's friends, like
rats in sinking ship, lett him upon the ayes and
nays being called, and voted with Mr.. Allen. !
would rather see Mr.. Calhoun get democratic votes
on all his motions Than wing ones. They are not
the sort OF friends that democrat ought to receive,
if he wish to retain party cast as 1t would not be
safe for WING to receive democratic votes under
like circumstances. ARIEL.
