PRESIDENTIAL MovEMENTs-These movements
are beginning somewhat more vigorously than we
could have expected, IN various parts OF the
try, and in favor OF some names we have heretofore
published, with others who are new candidates.
Governor Lane, Of Oregon, who was a dstin-
guished officer in the Mexican war, has been no.
minated by a convention at Indiana, composed Of
the democratic members Of the Legislature Of that
State, and vigorous movements have been com
menced there in his favor. As the first step, they
are preparing biography Of the General, recitng
his brilliant deeds IN Mexico, IN order TO recon-
mend him more efIectually to the people. We also
perceive that Senator Benton has Just been noml-
mated for the same high office, at a democratic
meeting at St. Louis, Missouri. In the midst Of
all this activity Of Presidential movements, Mr..
Clay is not forgotten, but a movement seems to
have been commenced, which is very general, in his
favor. II has been begun chiefly in the shape Of pr-
vaie correspondence and action, extending through
out the country, having tor its object 10 bring his
name before the people for the Presidency. without
he aid Of conventions by the wings. Mr. Butler,
OF South Carolina, has, also, in different section,
put forward the name OF Gen. Scott as having high
CLAIMS upon the country, and fine chance now
before him Of reaching the White House.
AL these movements. so early in the coming con-
test, are indicative OF the course Of events The
masses Of the two parties, throughout the country,
are tired and worn out by the nominations made
by conventions and caucuses. Every distinguished
man will henceforth be put forward by his own
special friends, and will be run in his own sec
lion Of the country, where each one for himself
will endeavor 10 get as many votes he can.
Thus we shall have candidates all over the country.

The Austin STATE Gazette expresses a decided
hostility TO division Of the State by the Colorado
the Brazos, will be by the following quo
tation from an editorial of the last week We are
not so much surprised by it's opposition as we are
for the reason assigned for it. We have always
looked upon Western Tsxas, from the Brazos to the
Rio Grande, as the last abiding home Of the slave
on this continent TO as high latitude as the plant
ing region extends. II is true, generally
poor in Western Texas, own but few slaves and
little other property, but venture to say that ten
men cannot be found in any county in Western
Texas that will consent TO the adoption Of any
constitution for State that does not TO
this institution by unquestonablc provisions.
We regret 10 see different opinions advanced, az
we fear they unfounded in truth. We arc sat
isfed to divide by the Brazos the Colorado, but
prefer the latter, the eastern section can then
divide again by the Trinity some more conve-
nient line. We will have population enough for
three States by the next Congress below New Mex
leo. That portion Of the State we wish to sold
10 pay our debt, and we little on whose prop
osition il is done:
"For so sure as the measure Of dividing the State
by the Brazos was contaminated, sure would
free soil movement be begun on its west, and result
in the establishment there OF free State. a large
majority of the inhabitants Of Western Texas are
not slavcholders, and will never become SO, and
feel far indifferent upon this question TO be re-
lied upon by the South"

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2e, 1850.
Congress-.


In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. DOUGLAS,
from the Committee on Territories, re-
ported bill for the admission of the State
of California into the Union, and bill pro-
viding territorial governments for Utah,
New Mexico, and for other purposes. This
latter bill, we understand, proposes mo-
ney consideration to Texas, in the settle
ment Of the boundaries between that State
and New Mexico. The California ques-
ton was then debated by Mr.. HUNTER,
and, after an executive session, the Sen
ate adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives, the bill
supplying deficiencies in the appropria-
tons for the present fiscal year was passed;
after which the House resolved itself into
Committee of the Whole, and considered
the message in relation to California.

Army Medical Board.

A board of army surgeons, for the ex-
animation Of assistant surgeons for pro-
motion, and of applicants for appointment
to the medical staff Of the army, will con-
vene in the city Of New York on the 10th
May ensuing, and will probably continue
in session for three or four weeks. APP
plications must be addressed to the Secre-
tary of War; must state the age and resi-
dence of the applicant, and must be ac-
companied by respectable testimonials
(mere references are not sufficiently of his
possessing the moral and physical quali6-
cations for filling creditably the response

arduous duties Of an officer of the medical
staff.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
TIE DEFICIENCY BILL.

Mr.. BAhLY said il was very important that the
deficiency bill should be passed to-day, and he
asked the general consent Of the House to take IL
up.
Several gentlemen objected, and the rules were
then suspended for that purpose.
A separate vote then taken on the following
amendment, reported, among others, on Friday,
from the Committee Of the Whole on the state Of
the Union, viz:
'eFor salaries Of the chief clerk and other clerks
in the office Of the Secretary Of the Interior, from
the 9th Of March, isf9, 10 the Both Of June, 1880
S14,565 80.
" Provided, That hereafter the clerks shall be
transferred from the other departments in proper
ton TO the business transferred 70 the Department
Of the Interior Tor from the bureaus Of either depart
ment,) and nothing herein contained shall be con-
strued 10 authorize any increase Of clerical force in
the several departments in consequence Of the crea
ton Of the Department Of the Interior, above tho
specification ofthe law Of March 3, 1s49."

We presume the Union would promptly
resent an intimation that it was not the
sole organ and exponent of the so-called
Democracy in both houses of Congress.
1t assumes to speak er cathedra for the
party on all the important questions of the
day; and now, as there is great anxiety to
learn what the Democracy intend to do in
regard to California, the Union would con-
fer favor on call and sundry," by pro-
claiming its own views and the purposes
Of its coadjutors. If the Union should be
seized with qualm of delicacy, and hes
itate to answer what is to be done by its
friends in Congress, it might give some
relief by indicating its own sentiments,
and let us infer the rest.

ISABELLA GRAPEs.-Every one who has remarked
the great superiority Of flavor of this delightful
American grape over the foreign one, will rejoice
to hear that they can be preserved in such man
as to retain their original flavor. What
qualification, too, TO the tenant Of sick chamber,
who, in the dreary hours of sickness, can find 80
few things TO crafty his palate We copy from
the Hartford Covanf:
"a friend has just presented TO us several punches
Of delicious Isabella grapes of the last falls crop
They were preserved in cotton. The process is
easy and sure. A layer Of cotton is placed in a
box, then layer Of grapes loosely on the cotton,
then another layer Of cotton, taking care 10 pre-
vent close packing by mailing strips Of wood on
the inside of the box. The skin Of the grape be-
comes slightly withered, but the flavor lie fully pre-
served.

New WING PApER.-The Albany State
Register is the name of a new Wing paper
established at Albany, New York, the first
number of which was issued last Satur-
day. The paper is edited by Messrs.
FULLER and SEWARD. The editors, in
their opening number, announce their creed
and purposes in the following temperate
address. 1t is expected that the Register
will be conducted with marked ability.
"10 the Pubiic.In issuing the first number of the
Albany State Register commence new enter
prise which we trust will commend itself to public
favor We shall spare no effort to make it a read
able, interesting, and valuable newspaper. We con-
ceive the true mission of the press to be- to promul
gate truth and combat error; to SOW broadcast the
seeds of public and private virtue, uphold the laws
and institutions of the country, strengthen social
order, and promote the general welfare. This mis-
sion we shall endeavor to fulfil Believing that the
cause of truth loses nothing by free and independ
ent discussion, as occasion requires we shall boldly
and fearlessly make known our views upon the
topics of the day, not in spirit of arrogance or
contention, but In the discharge of what we con-
ceivc to be duty.
"In politics, we shall be thoroughly and soundly
Wing: for the encouragement Of agriculture and
protection Of manufactures; the extension of COM
merce, and the speedy construction of public
works, and the improvement of rivers and harbors
Tor that purpose; Tor a sound currency, and econ
omy in public expenditures; against Executive
usurpation, and for upholdng national Consti-
tuition in all its parts. We go for the preservation,
at all hazards of the sacred Of these States;
and for the union of the Wing party, not only in
New York, but North and South, East and West,
as the great national party of the country. What
ever will promote the diffusion of knowledge and
science among the people, and best ensure the pro-
per moral and intellectual education and cultiva-
ton of their offspring, shall advocate. To that
end, colleges, academies, and common schools
in our judgment alike essential. In religion,
shall know sect, but, claiming for Christianity
divine origin, we shall not hesitate 20 defend it's
principles and institutions the true foundations
Of all social progress At all times in favor Of
wholesome and necessary reforms, are not of
those who think that any and every change is for
the better, who would uproot whatever is not new,
and convert society into chaos. Our prospectus
will be found the third page, and we do not
deem IL necessary now TO add more 10 what has
there been said. We know how easy il lie to pro-
mise, and how difficult 10 fulfil; and shal claim
from indugent community, and our brethren
Of the press, that charity and forbearance which
hope we may ever be ready TO bestow.'

disposed man in the cabinet than Mr..
WALKER and it cannot be doubted that
this act was repugnant TO his feelings, and
only performed in obedience to the mex
orable rule by which the policy of the adj
ministration was governed. And, apart
from any feeling of benevolence, the ex-
PLANTATION, and the only one that could be
given, was awkward, and must have been
incompatible with his sense of self-respect.
But the rule was inflexible, and Mr..
WALKER had no alternative. From the
terms of the letter, the inference is ire
sistible that an application for Office,
known to be made in behalf of Wing,
would not at that time have been enter
tanned, even, by the liberal administra-
ton of Mr.. Polk.

sufficient to do the public business, or per-
NIT the public business to go undone. This
is the whole question before Congress III
regard to the Department of the Interior
The amount required for the pay OF neces-
sary clerk hire is small, indeed, in compari-
SON to the value of the time consumed In
denouncing him for discharging his duty.
Had he erred even in employing force
equal to the business of his Department,
it would require little charity indeed to
ascribe his conduct to honorable motives.
But neither candor nor fair dealing, nor a
sense of justice, is discernible in the de-
nunciations which have been hurled against
him. He is decried as a violator Of law,
a, butcher, a malignant prosecutor, in
speeches Astounding in that kind of rhet-
oric which distinguished Senator de-
clared in the Senate had vitiated, corrupted
and depraved our vernacular tongue.
No one can doubt that, if Mr.. EWING
had omitted to employ clerks to transact
the public business, he would have been
denounced withquite as much bitterness rs
he has been for employing them. There
would have been yell of indignation
over the neglected business of the depart
ment 1t is quite probable that the per-
sons who charge him with usurpation
would, in the case supposed, have berated
him for distrusting the justice and patriot
ism Of Congress. What matters it 70 a
/" bitter-end" opposition whether a mem
Der of General TAYLoR's Cabinet fulfils or
neglects his duty! A faithful discharge of
the obligations of Office will not assuage the
violence of faction, any more than positive
and indubitable evidences are permitted to
modify programme of caucus facts. The
history of the past has as little weight with
such an opposition as "the face of the
future"-and it is their boast that it mat
tiers not what aspect that may bear.
