He 10 an honor to the State, and will hold an
place in her political history.
The wings experienced cutting defeat in the
House on "Wednesday last, when State direc-
tors for the western railroad were chosen
Messrs. Bullock and Russell, who were nomi-
mated by the regular whig caucus, were defeated,
and Messrs Bradbury and Branning were cho-
sen. Mr. Bradbury is looked upon as Soon
science" wing, and Mr.. Branning is a Leading
and able democrat Mr.. Bradbury was last year
Speaker Of the House, but the wings this year
refused to re-elect him; and IL is a well known
fact that Mr. Bullock took prominent part IN
revenge. for which he is indebted to the " con-
science" wings and the democrats. Time is
said by Byron, to make I'll things even at last;
and the old fellow seems to have been in a des-
perate hurry TO accomplish his sc mission" in this
instance What makes the regular wings feel
particularly sore about this matter, is the fact,
that Mr. Bullock is, by common consent, looked
upon as the leader of the regular wings in the
House.
The excitement about the resistance to the
serving Of the habeas corpus writ has died away
The subject would hardly have been alluded to
in the House, only that its discussion afforded
an opportunity to the disappointed wings to an
nov their conservative brethren Our people
know that the law is abundantly sufficient to its
own vindication in the premises. and It already
has its iron grasp on the dellnquents, whom II
will properly dispose of.
The statement that the Utica convention had
nominated General Taylor for the Presidency,
which has been flying about for two or three
DAYS past, threw our sold hunkers'' into convul-
sions. It is a great pity that such was not the
tact, as it would have gone tar towards settling
the Presidential question. Our democrats are
quite ready 10 support the gallant old hero, and
would make great fight to aid in his elevation.
AS tn the wings, the regulars are all for Clay.
and the irregulars for Corwin. or some man Of
that stamp. Nobody seriously thinks of Mr..
Webster, whose want of popularity is az notos
rlous as his gigantic intellect.
The weather is as bland as May, and were it
not for the mass of snow on the ground, ordinary
summer weather could not be more comfortable.
This is bad for the "ice CROP Very earnest eff
forts were made, during the recent "cold snap"
to fill the ice houses and l learn, with some
success. Still, fear, that the quantity preserved
will be found small compared with that Of
last year. Such, at least, is the opinion of those
who ought to be able to speak Understandings on
the subject. =.
The statement that the Rothschilds would
take the government loan, is very pleasing to
our business men, who are anxious1y looking for
its confirmation. 1t is to be hoped that it is
correct.

Affairs In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, IS4S.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~, lS4S
The present Position of Affairs at the Capital.
The proceedings of the Utica convention, re-
ceived by the Herald this morning. have pro-
duced general impression that the prospects of
the wing candidate for the next presidency are
decidedly improved Some talk about the posi-
bility of doing without New York. The demo-
cratic candidate, whoever he be, cannot spare
New York. Neither Ohio, nor Georgia, nor
Tennessee, will give democratic majority.
1t is perfectly idle to expect it. Ohio is strong
a whig State as Massachusetts,. The friends OF
Mr.. Cass declare he can carry it by fifty thou
sand majority. With all respect to those Q en-
tlemen, they might as well have said one hun
dred and fifty thousand. On the subject of
slavery, Mr.. Cass has gone further than many
Of his southern friends; and in Ohio the abo-
hilton doctrine has taken as deep root as even IN
New Hampshire. Under any circumstances,
and with any candidate, the democrats cannot
ii more easily than Mr.. Cass. Notwithstanding
all the efforts of Mr.. Polk and his friends in Ten
nessee, at the last gubernatoral election, the
wings carried that State by decided majority,
although they had all the popular issues against
them, and the democratic party was led by Aaron
V. Brown, one of the most popular men In the
State. General Taylor can carry Tennessee
by larger majority than that by which Mr.
strongest Taylor States in the Union. BY look
ing to the result of the last presidential election
1t will therefore be seen that the democratic can
didate cannot spare New York.
The friends of Mr. Polk still contend that he
does not desire to be next President. One of
two propositions is easily demonstrable: either
he desires to be next President, or to break up
the democratic party. To the latter intent he
will scarcely plead guilty.
Major Van Buren's arrival is looked for with
much anxiety. He is said to be the bearer OF
the terms proposed by the Mexican commission,
ers, for the acceptance of this government II
these terms are, as is believed, on the basis of
Mr.. Trist,s ultimatum, then will the firmness of
the President be put to the proof. 1t is almost
certain, that if any treaty such basis be sent
into the Senate, it will be ratified. The admi-
nlstraton party in thai body, have allowed the
war feeling to be talked down, and it is question
able II there be nineteen men now In the Senate,
willing to assume the responsibility of defeating
a treaty, however much it may fall short of what
the majority desire to obtain. Will the Presi-
dent submit it, and afterwards plead as in the
case of the Oregon treaty, that he did not sup
pose It would be ratified Many apprehend that
he will, although am confident IN the hope that
he will not be permitted to do so. GALvIENsls.

Netcs from Merico-Pedce Prospects-ResuH of
NegOfidtiOns

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, l848.
Ne,cs from Merico-Peace Prospects-ResuH of
Negotiations.
A foreign Minister in this city, has received
letter from correspondent of high rank, dated
in the city of Mexico, January 10, which says
that he had just received despatch from a
friend in Queretaro, (where the Mexican Con-
gress is now in SESSION. informing him that an
arrangement would certainly be made with Mr..
Trist, who would be in Mexico between the
10th and 26th of January, and that Mr.. Trist
would start with it Immediately for the United
States.
That proposition of some kind is on foot, is
very probable; but that the Mexican government
will propose terms of peace at this time, which
our government can accept, consistent with ma
tonal honor, is idle to suppose. The Mexicans
are we'll advised of the condition of things in the
Unite States They are aware that one entire
party are In favor of the withdrawal of our army
from her territory, and the surrender back to her
of all that We have conquered. They know full
we'll, that should this party come into power in
the coming presidential s,ce.lOn and which
own terms of peace will be granted. They
will offer some ridiculous proposition to Mr..
Trlst, such as recognition OF the Rio
Grande as the boundary, and the cession of the
anything more strange In the Presidents sub
hitting such treaty to the Senate, than there
was In the submission of the treaty which ceded
away, without the least equivalent, one-half of
Oregon, to which our title was declared to be
"cear and unquestionable ," and will there not
be now, as there was then, combination in the
Senate, of timid conservatives, with the entire
whig party, sufficient to ratify such treaty
These are questions of deep moment to the
American people, and it is to be hoped that
the President and his cabinet will have the
moral courage and patriotism to act in the
matter in accordance with the sentiments and
feelings OF the American people. The peO-
pie will never consent that our army shall re-
treat inglorously from the fields of their fame,
which have been moistened with the blood and
whltened with the bones Of their brethren Nor
is it in accordance with the divine mission
which our government is called, to allow the
Mexican people to be longer tyranized over by
military despots, or be transferred to the ale
glance of European monarchs. The immortal trio
In this ridiculous negotlatlon-POlk, Trlst, and
Buchanan-may sink themselves into merited
oblivion by negotiating such a treaty, but the
great progressive democracy of the country will
find other leaders, under whose banner they can
carry out the mission of the American govern
ment, in establi shng free COVE rnment and demo-
cratic institutions fer the continent.
