the last Legislature commended him fer the course
the former body, and sanctioned in strong terms
his advocacy Of the nen-intervsntion principle The
constitutional convention now in session at the
capital Of the State, recently held meeting In re-
ference to the compromise proposition Of the Com
mittee Of Thirteen, Of which Gen Cass was a mem-
Der, and in no measured terms approved Of the
proposition in every particular Every movement,
oflate, bat tends to renew the evidence Of his in
eressng popularity, and the certainty that he will
be returned to the Senate, if consonant with his
wishes.
In Pennsylvania, the place Of Mr.. Sturgeon will
eto partial free soil fee ling Exists in this State
though the old lines of the party ara ngdly adhered
to. No opposition has as yet been manifested to-
ward Mr.. s.; but in many counties Hon. James
Buchanan has been named, and should he submit
to the wishes of his friends, would probably be
successful. There are indications, however,
among the influential members of the democratic
party TO withhold his name from such an election,
with view to an elevation TO the nomination by
the party to the Presidency in 1852 In that event.
with the success Of the democratic party, there ia
very little doubt Mr. Sturgeon will be returned to
his present position.
The subject Of the election of Senator in Texas,
TO supply the place Of Thomas ]. Rusk, is now be-
ing agitated. This gentleman rendered himself
very unpopular for time, in consequence of his
opposition to the Nashville Convention, and meet
ings he in every section of the State denounc-
ing his course. The whole subject has since pre-
sented new aspect, since his devotion to the claim
of Texas to New Mexico His name has already
been submitted TO the people, and by public meet
ings they have declared in his favor The wings,
for the first time have organized in this State but
there is no possible chance for their success The
movement on the Rio Grande, with view to q Sc
psraton of that section from the State, has been,
and is, still strenuously opposed by northern and
central Texas. The course of Mr. Rusk this
question has been decided, which has also had the
effect to increase his popularity. The election for
the Legislature will take place in November; the
whole issue will be upon the New Mexico and Rio
Grande questions, and the favor of Mr.. Rusk to the
claims of his State will pretty surely insure his
turn to the Senate.
The election of a Senator in Ohio will also take
place; but it is almost impossible to conjecture
what the result will be. strong free soil feeling
prevails in the democratic well as whig ranks.
The democrats are in the majority a, this time, and
the late elections strongly indicate the defeat Of the
wings at the next election. The Western Reserve
is wholly free soil, and that being the stronghold Of
the wings in former times, augurs against their fu
ture success. DIR. Corwin, though emphatcally
a freescil man, is very unpopular with the free
soil democrats, and should that party be again
successful, he has no prospect of a return to the
Senate.
The opposition now shown to Mr.. Webster,
would seem TO indicate change in the representa-
ton of Massachusetts in the Senate. The course
Of Mr.. Webster on the compromise question has
been denounced, in no measured terms, by the abo-
litionists, and by those in sympathy with that fac
ton. Several Of the leading organs of the whig
party have already spoken of the danger Of his re-
turn TO the Senate fearing that he is sufficiently
utra upon the anti-slavery question, and that the
rights and interests of the North will suffer in his
hands. But while this is the case, his course has
been generally approved by the mass of both the
great parties, and expressions Of appreciation have
come from olmoot cvery part Of tho State. The
name of Mr.. Webster has become almost synono-
nous with Massachusetts,, and there is very little
doubt but he can, and will, be reelected, as
the people are for the settlement Of the existing
upon the best possible terms, without fur
ther endangering the stability Of the Union.
In New Jersey, Tennessee. Vermont, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island, Mississippi, Virginia, and Indiana,
there is every TO suppose that the same, or
Senator'S OF like views with the present, will be re-
turned The only difficulty to be apprehended in
any Of these States, may occur in Indiana. There
are many a.pirants for the position, and it may be
tha, the favor Mr.. Bright has shown the COM
promise, may operate against him. There has, az
yet, been very little opposition to his course. In
Delaware, the contest will be strong. The parties
are very close, and the Of the democrats at
the last election, will ineite the wings to greater
effort 1t s impossible TO tell what the result will
be, although a slsvehodng State, the people gene
rally are opposed to the institution, and IL has only
been through the determination Of the southern
county, that it has been retained 80 long. bill
abolishng slavery has once passed the Senate, and
been lost in the lower House by bu, two votes.
The Senator from Maryland was elected by the
Last Legislature for the succeeding term.
