Mr.. Calhoun is now holding forth in the Senate,
and presume will not spare ,he present dynasty.
Congress are variously employed in the arduous
task of evadng every just claim, and killing with
contempt the peoples petitions. Nothing can be
attended to but their own fiscal affairs, or who is
to be the next President.
Mrs. Holdrup Steyena, Cor Stephens) widow of
the late Commodore Stevens, died last night. She
had been in bad health for some months previous.
There is a current report that James X. Polk is
a.partner of Mr.. Richie in the Unions printing
If so, predict they will not fail to make round
sum out of Uncle Sam.
Every body but the toadies here see through
Mr.. Folks great sympathy for Yucatan, and know
that is revolution of the free citizen Indians,
and not revolt, as he (Polk) would make it out
to be, and that we have no right to NEEDLE with

A are anXiously expecting the arrival of Gen.
Scott and Mr.. Tris, when some Developments of
an extraordinary nature will ensue, and Secretary
Marcy's breeches be most fundamentally torn.

Endearor to Hambug the Presidential Delegates.
The manner in which Legislation is conducted
here, at this time, is enough almost to disgust
calm observer with representative government
Every thing is neglected, except that of President
making. One might suppose that the entire bust
ness of Congress was that of selecting chief ma
glstrate. Both parties seem equally engaged in the
employment, although neither have legiiimately
any thing to do with il. 1t will become necessary
for the people teach their senators and represent
tatives the lesson which taught at the close of
undertook, in their different caucuses, TO tell their
constituents who they should have for President !;
the people put end to their illegtimate com lna
tons, and introduced the system OF national con-
ventlons. What the politicians are not allowed to
do directly, they are now undertaking to do ndl-
rectly, VIZ: to control the agents OF the people IN
selecting candidates for the Presidency. We are
for fair play. Delegates are chosen from the diff
ferent States, well acquainted with the wishes OF
their constituents, and ready to carry them out !;
they no sooner arrive at Washington, their names
are no sooner known there than efforts are at once
put IN operation to influence their opinions and
their votes Letters written, alleging the avail
ability of this, and the want of popularity of that
candidate the delegate from one section of the
country is told of very strange state of
things in a remote part of the Unlon-his mind
is confused, and he finds great difficulty in
arriving at truth. Every contrivance is resorted
to, to mislead the well meaning delegate. There
Is but one course for him to pursue--to disregard
all that he hears at or from Washington, to learn
the wishes of his party in his own district, and
to carry out their views by stedtast adherence.
In this mode, and this alone, can the will of each
party be fully ascertained and fairly expressed
The political atmosphere of Washington is cor
ruptng and corrupted. The opinions of Senators
and representatives who are endeavoring to make
Presidents and to become Vice Presidents, Secre-
taries, Foreign Ministers, &C., &c., should be
they are false and selfish. The very object of
national conventions is not to learn the senti-
ment at Washington, but to ascertain the wishes
Of each district, from the delegate who represents

the people should be ascertained not of the poll
tlcians who have accidentally obtained place. We
say again, we are for fair play.

Judge Woodbwys Position on the Slavery Cues
tion-Sscst History of the Matter.
The letter of Hon. w. L. Yancey, Of Alaba-
ma, to the editor of the Alabama State Gazette,
giving the views of Mr.. Woodbury. upon the
subject of slavery in the territories, has ne
cessarily excited much attention The doctrine
advanced by Mr.. Woodbury. is prac tically,
that slavery is not a subject of municipal re-
gulation, but a natural right; since neither Con-
gress or the people Of territory of the United
States, are competent to make regulations exclud.
ing slavery from it before its admission into the
Union.
The manner in which Judge Woodbury's views
have been made public, is subject of considera-
BILE enquiry. The facts are these-eary in the
winter, Hon Mr. Inge, of Alabama, waited upon
views upon the slavery question. Judge Wood
bury did not write a letter giving his views upon
the matter, but made verbal statement of his
opinions, which were written down by MIR. lnge,
as he dictated them, and forwarded to Hon. Mr.
Yancey, In the form OF a letter, from Mr. lnge
This is the letter to which Mr.. Yancey alludes as
being in his possession, at the Alabama State con-
venton, and which he ''averred to be reliable au-
thority," in reference to the opinions of Judge
Woodbury..
As the friends of Mr. Buchanan and the friends
of Gen. Cass have each endeavored to excite pub
lie feeling in favor of their particular candidate in
that State, MIR. Yancey has been induced to come
out publicly in opposition to the doctrines of those
gentlemen, that the people of the territories are
competent to decide whether they will tolerate or
prohibit the institution, and advocate the doctrine
that the STAKEHOLDER is competent to carry his
slaves wherever he chooses, into any of the terri
tories of the Union.
IrEM.-There is but one step further; the slave
holder has a right to take his slaves into any
State of the Union, and hold them, whether that
State be free or not. JEFFERSON.

The late Baltimore Wing Conrention-A Co,1ec-
tion of Error General 7awor--M. Chy. III
The resolution of the wing State convention of
Maryland declaring Mr.. Clay the first choice of
the wings of'the State, which generally re-
ferred to as great triumph by his friends, was. i,
should be remembered, proposed by friend of
Gen. Taylor, ex-governor Pratt. When he Of
fered it, he declared that he regarded and intend
ed it as "an empty compliment" because he did
not think Mr. Clay would receive fifty votes in the
national convention. That clause of the resolu-
ton was unanimously passed--all the Taylor men
voting for it. The struggle in the convention was
on the second clause of the resolution, declaring
Gen. Taylor the second choice of the wings of
the State and instructing the delegates, whenever
they shall be convinced that the nomination. u
Mr. Clay cannot be effected at any a.age of the
proceedings in the national convention TO vote for
him and use their best efforts to secure his nomi-
nation. The friends of Mr.. Clay-those who pre-
fer defeat with him rather than victory with
another-strongly opposed this; their object beng
to prevent any and every expression OF preference
for Gen. Taylor, and leave the delegates TO vote
for him or not, as each might choose. Their
amendments were rejected by an overwhelming
majority, and the Instructions in favor OF Genera.
TAYLOR, subject 70 The unmeanlng restriction before
noticed, adopted by decided vote
The action Of the convention, however, which
seems most significant, was the defeat OF every
ultra friend of Mr.. Clay, nominated as a delegate
to the national convention Mr.. John, OF Frede-
rick county, nominated delegate at large, Hon.
Christopher Hughes, the entertainer of Mr.. Clay,
IN Batimnre city, as delegate Tom the 9TH, and
Hon. John Dennis of Somerset county, as delegate
from the 9Th Congressional district upon hose
success the friends OF Mr.. Clay sta ked their fond
est hopes, because Of their devotion to him, and
deeper hostility TO General Taylor, were sgnally
defcacd---he first, by Hon. Thomas G.. Pratt,
the second, by George X. Richardson, ESQ.,, and
the third by Samuel IIambleton, EsQ.--all most
decided Taylor men,.
The statement made in Baltimore letter 10 one
of the New York papers, that Gov. Pratt was sue
cessfu over Mr.. Lee, by an error IN ihc ballot as
certained, and the absence 9s rWo Clay men from
the convention, is altogether incorrect There
was no error " Vie ballot on any election of dele
