printed lawns, 5000 pieces of which were sold,

fabric finish and designs, were fully equal TO any

Is cents, and the Alpaca lustres from IL TO %

the company wished to introduce them uto the

Editorial Correspondence OF the New York Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, April 80.
have now been long enough in Washington
to have learned something of the more recent
manifestations OF public sentiment collected or
reflected here with regard to the Presidency
There is, however, no opinion predominant here
just now, and the most contradictory ruInors
chase each other through the dark, resoundng
passages Of the Capitol in rapid, confused sue
cession. | would not deny that the larger Tor
louderl number OF voices here pronounce Mr..
Clay not available but ask those who declare
this so confidently 10 say who is avallabe or even
more available, and the answ ers will be almost
or quite as various as the answelers. One is per-
fec,ly certain that Gen. Taylor must be the man
the next Is equally sangulne that Zen. Scott is
the available while some more quietly but not
less confidently Indicate Judge NJ Lean, while
Mr.. WebSier has likewise advocates. Mr. Cor
iDin, understand on leaving recently for Ohio,
minated that hts name should not be allowed to
come into the canvass. Thus matters stand
here at present.
Om of Washington, however, | understand
that the People are thinking more of Clay and
Principle and less OF asserted Availability. A
leading Taylor man from Maryland, who is per-
fecty confident that the Wing party is ruined
unless Gen. Taylor is nominated, informs me
mat his Stale viii pretty surely cast its vote in
convention ipr Mr.. Clay though he asserts that
Mr. q. would be defeated before the People =
while gentleman just from New Orleans as.
sures US that Mr.. Clay will have the vote OF ,l,at
State in Convention, and is decidedly stronger
there than Gen. Tayloror anybody else. Geor.
gla, too, am assured, will send Clay Delegates ;
80 will North Carolina so will Alabama; and
even Tennessee (which has been the nest. egg of
Tayorism here all Winter,) Is confidently report
ed as fully as likely TO send majority of CLAY
Delegates as Otherwise. Ifso, what Whig State.
or State likely to be Wing, will be lett 10 sustain
Gen. Taylor? Name II
l wish to make no one-sided statements to
encourage no false hopes. will add, therefore,
that the current reports irom Ohio, Pennsy vania
and Indiana are not so favorable as had antic-
