The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1849-06-03

We publish below extracts from the Troy Budget and
Detroit Free Press, which give confirmation 10 report
that was in circulation in Washington time since,
and which has been generally believed up to this time
to the effect that ex Governor Seward OF New York had
gained the ear of the administration TO the exclusion of
Mr. Fillmore and that the latter gentleman left The city
in consequence much dissatisfied with the course which
things were taking. 1t is known that General Taylor
Mr. Clayton, and MIR. Ewing consulted with Mr. Seward
about furnishing government 10 the people OF Caor-
MIA and New Mexico the last day of the last session
Of Congress Mr. Seward was not then member OF the
Senate but simply citizen of New York; yet he and
Mr. Secretary Ewing went 10 the Capitol, and found
the amendment to the general appropriation bill pre-
pared BY Mr. Webster. That amendment suited the New
York senator and the Secretary of the Interior. The
whole matter was then left 10 The management OF the
former gentleman who had il brought forward in the
House of Representatives, and then, with impudent
efonery went upon the floor of the Senate. where he
admitted only by courtesy, and insisted that
thing but that admen should be passed The result
was that nothing could be done to provide government
for New Mexico and California, and Congress adjourned,
leaving citizens in those territories naked and de-
fenceless, and prey to lawlessness and violence.

the legitimate result of no. partyism. When factions
