-. WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1850. (
Mrs. Fillmore. daughter and soD,
arrived in town Saturday night, from
their home, in company with Gen.
Wool, who joined them at Albany.
She brought on with her fine span
, of black horses for the State carri-
age. -
There is no truth in the report
that John G. Clark, Solicitor OF the
Treasury, has been offered the hall
mission of Ecuador and Bolivia
at least such was not the case to-day
at noon.
Auditor Clayton has letters from
Georgia, assuring him that the Union
partv will sweep the State at the
coming election for delegates to the
Convention. Mr.. Stevens-little
Alexander H.-writes, | learn, that
the feeling is universal, that no more
aggression upon slavery will be al.
lowed by Georgia, that Union and
Disunion men agree, that if the Flu
eitive Slave Law should be repealed,
or slavery be abolished in the dis
trict Of Columbia, or the Wilmot Pro-
yiso be put upon Utah or. New Mex
leo. no power on earth can prevent
Georgia from boiling out of the Un-
ion; from, in other words, revolutions
izing the present federal government
The Union men may well agree win
the Disunionists,to to do this evil thing
in the happening Of either OF Inc me
above contingencies, for neither VIII
ever take place.
A gentleman, who had recently
been travelling in North Ohio, and
West New York, has arrived in town,
and brings the gratifying intelligence,
that the mass OF the people are de-
termined to uphold the fugitive slave
law, and that the recent excitement
is more the work of the newspapers
than of the people.
Notwithstanding Frank Gran
gers predictions Of whig success in
New York, | learn, that the face of
things has greatly changed in the
last few days, that there is now
strong probability of the entire dem
ocratic ticket. The New York
election is big with the fate OF the
two great parties.
Ihear, that Cunningham, OF the
Portsmouth, Va, Pilot, who has re-
Gently been in New York, returns
home, satisfied of the success Of the
Democratic party in 1852, and that
he proposes 10 hoist the flag of Hous-
ton and Dickinson, in the course OF
a few davs. Such ticket will be
hard TO beat. II the Wings propo-
Ses TO defeat it, they will be obliged
to do what they have not yet done,
cultivate harmony, give the offices
10 the working Wings, throughout
The country, find two Of the stron-
pest candidates in the Union, and
acquire Cuba and Canada right of.
Father Whittlesey has left US on
a fiying visit to Ohio. Mr.. Webster
will not be at his post till the 10Th
or 18th of next month. Mr.. Ste
wart is daily expected to RETURN
Mr.. Crittenden will not be back
probably, before the middlAof next
month.
The Secretary Of the Treasury
has selected one Of the ablest lawyers
and most thorough business men,
from Ohio, for the Assistant Secre-
taryship of his Department. l am
mot a. liberty TO give his name at
this writing. 1t is proper that this
officer should have the entire conf
dence of the Secretary, before he
can relieve the Secretary of his la
bors, according to the intent of the
law creating the Office.
Some of the Presidentmakers not
content with the standing candidates,
are on the lookout for new material.
Gen. Jessup and Gov. Mcdowell are
spoken of by these searchers after
novelty. Two more able men could
not be found. Jessup is a man for
the times. Let Robert ]. Walker be
asked, to whom Mr.. Polk was most
indebtsd for his success in conduc-
ting the Mexican war, and he will
reply Gen. Jessup. As to Mellow
ell, regard him as one OF the first
statesmen in the U. States.
The Scott men are looking about
for Vice President. Long Jimmy
Jones, of Tenn, seems just now TO
be the prominent candidate. Scott
and Jones, Houston and Dickinson
neck and neck-would those nags
coma out at the Judges standl There
are others Of SCOTS friends who
want John Bell FOR Vice, and others
again who want Judge Sharkey.-
For my part, ii | had the choosing,
would take the most rampant Dis
union Whig that could be found for
Vice. .ea Scott's ticket. Just now
