cided. 1t viii be adopted without qualification,
or material amendment. The Senate took 1t up
to-day In committee of the whole, and there was
a unanimous voice In Its favor. Even Senator

tive in his ideas of Jurisprudence, acknowledged
that he felt bound to sustain the new code. In
fact, there not single voice raised in oppe-
sltion to 1t every senator concurred in the
opinion of Mr.. Fine, that the report was entitled
10 a trlal-ihe people had demanded reform, and
the wish OF the people should be gratified The

Mr. VIM. II. Seward has taken up his resi-
dence here at the capital, with the design sp-
parenty of practising his profession; the prestige
OF his executive fame, and OF his whole public
career, is his surety for brilliant success in his
legal affairs recognise him as man OF strong
intellect, and also as polite and crafty, and
some what INSCRIPTIONS, politician in politics
he Is unfortunately associated with men who
have altogether forfeited any right they may
have ever possessed to the confidence or regard
ward did not come here especially to practise
his profession nor Is he unwilling to en-
counter again the psrls of the political world,
from when he WAS lately dlsastrously driven.

dldate of certain clique of the whig
party for the Vice Presidency this Clique,
whose leader resides IN this vicinity, has re.
Gently been actively engaged IN forts to
strengthen tue claims aud the chances of Mr..
Seward for the nomination 10 the Vice Presl-
dency. A correspondence was opened with Sc
veTaI leading men IN the South, with view TO
ascertain the tone of public sentiment toward
Mr. :. in that quarter, aud also with the inten-
ton OF efiacn. the bitter recollections of the
controversy of 1872, when ii will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Seward, as governor Of this
State, refused TO recognize the legality OF a
requlstIou OF the governor OF Virginia, for the
surrender OF three fugltives from justice from
thai Stale, who accused of abductng
slaves In consequence OF the course of Mr.. Sew
ard, upon this and other occasions, the South
became much exa.peraed against him, and Vir-
gnia and South Carolina even passed retaIiatory
acts, which Mr. 5. declared were unconsti TUT on
al aud oppressive, and calculated 10 embarrsss
the commerce Of this State. In the cores
pondence which this Clique have opened
with the South, they have ascertained that
the recollection Of that remarkable con-
troversy has not been eGaced, and that, un-
der circumstances, will the South c0nsent to
sustain Mr. Seward for the Office OF the Vice
Presidency. THIS decision has been received
with bitterness, and ! understand that ii is
suspected that Mr.. Clay has been in some
manner instrumental IN producing this decision
But be tins as 1t may, II is perfectly certain that
this clique is engaged IN an intrigue 10 defeat the
nomination Of Mr.. Clay Tor the Presidency
