WASHINGTON, MAY ~ l53e.
Mr. AtcisGn introduced Joint resolution to-day IN the
Senate, which passed second reading to close fe
present of Congress the first Monday In july ana
hold an extra session TO commence on the isI hohua5 "
October This proposition not likely 10 meet win asoi
unless sustained by powerful reasons than are now a
parent and yet would be far better to dispose al once oi
the needfu appropration bill and adjourn tor vacation
than to suffer these bills to be cloggd with the other business
which is now dragging tessy on towards the aog
The long session of Congress has come to be an inoefap
bora the excess business transacted beyond what ac
in the short session bears proportion TO the
difference of time consumed
the nomination of Cen Taylor prospecttvey
certain the wings casting about more seriously Tor
candidate for Vice Presidency and past experience has
Taught them that this high honor not again TO be lightly
conferred upon any Hitherto Massachusetts, New
York and Pennsylvania have been looked to for this end
but Ohio now added to the list and the Hon. Thomas
Ewing is named likely meet with favor from his State.
The democrats are einging the hope that New DIRK
will cure her discussions and support the Baltimore nomlna
tons and this hope fed by the adhesion given last
night by Senator Dix, to which added to-day the promise
of Capt Rynde, (now here) of the Empire Club forego
his barnburnng predictions and give honest support
Gems Cas- and Butler Senator Dix is modest and truthful
and will doubtless keep his pledge which give his
individual support " but he did not undertake to speak for
Messrs Cambreeng, Van Buren,, King Rahbun and other
recognised leaders OF the New ok democracy democratic
member OF the House expressed to the opinion, little
while SINCE that the Barnsdner faction, he termed it,
would small by degrees and beautifully less This was
his hope doubt but his fear certainly otherwise, for
the nomination of Mr. Cas- the thing of all Others to
feed this flame of dscord The democrats uneasy,
and await with great anxiety the result of the convention in
Philadelphia
Mr. Cass intends to remain here about fortnight longer
as- A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writ
ing from Washington, says:
| can inform you, fom source which deem
entitled to the fullest credit, that Gen. Taylor will
be here in Washington either Tomorrow or in two
or three days at furthest. This will be news TO
some of your readers at least. He is summoned, |
believe, as a witness to appear before the Court Of
Inquiry at Frederick. Gen Gushing, when leav-
ing here on yesterday, had no idea, imagine. of
what questions would come before the court at
Frederick, or he would not have promised to re-
turn within a week to Washington. He may have
much more business on hand than he is aware of
at present.
One Of the modes proposed by the Wings for de-
eating the Democrats is to Northern man in
the free States and Gen. Taylor in the South The
election would then go into the House. If this be
done, the election of the Vice President, which
takes place in the Senate will certainly secure the
return of Cen Butler.
The position of South Carolina is exceedingly
doubtful as yet, but not without prospect for
Gen. Taylor. The Calhoun men evidently incline
that way-still it is extremely doubtful whether
Carolina will throw away her principles to accom-
modate her friends.
Mr. Justa Sierra, the Mexican Commissioner, will
leave here in a few days. He has received orders
to return home. England has offered to assist Yu-
catan, and Yucatan has accepted the aid of Eng
land. So there's practical end to the bill. x.
The usually correct correspondent of the Sun,
has, believe, erred in his statement concerning
Yucatan. We have no information that England
has offered to assist that country 1t is known that
Yucatan offered herself to either of the three pow
ers of England, Spain and the United States and
that the English Minister in Mexico, through whom
the offer to Great Britain was made, returned
favorable answer-saying that he would endeavor
to induce his Government to accept the proposition
