vIRY IMPORTANT PROM WASHINGTON TIE PRO
sRAMME OF THE ADMINISTRATION 90 THE SLAVERY
QUESTION
Our dispatches from Washington, last evening,
are Of very important character. We learn that
ihe wing members of the Senate, or at least such
of them as in favor of the Compromise bill in
troduced by Mr.. Clay, held caucus meeting yes
terday, and agreed upon the line of 81 for New
Mexico, and of IS for California and that this is
considered as the platform of the new administra-
lion under Mr.. Fillmore
This is a very important movement on the part
of the wing members Of the Senate, and augurs
well for the settlement of the agtatng question of
slavery. We begin to hope now that there is a
good prospect of the Compromise bill, in some
what modified form, being passed by that body,
and that, too, before long. The power and in
Thence which the old cabinet used to their own
advantage, are evidently dispeed, and a better
and more harmonious feeling is restored be-
tween the two sections Of the country. There
may and probably will be some discussions vet @ n
This subject, and it may be some time before the
matter is finally disposed of. We can, however,
zee a rainbow of solid hope before us and we shall
be very much mistaken if an adjustment of the ter
ritoral and slavery question is far Off The clouds
are giving way, and daylight is beginning to dawn
upon u.s. If this be the platform Of the new adm-
nistration, all parties will have to rejoice
There is no earthly necessity for continuance of
tils aglatng subject. Ii can be compromised, it
could have been compromised before, this but for
the " administration plan," as il was termed
which palmed off on the lamented Gen. Tav-
Tor 10y his cabinet, as panacea for the slavery
evil, designedly to serve their own purposes and
il will be compromised, according to every in
dicaton.
This. severe but a well rserited rebuhe TO the
abolition actionsts in the Senate, OF whom William
III. Seward in the head inside, and Thurlow Weed
the tail outside, in this State. Let, therefore, the
fanatics be thrown overheard, let the intellect and
patriotism of the wing party assert their legitimate
influence, and the whole question can be adjusted
In a manner that will be satisfactory to the reason
able men, Of all parties and of all classes and sec
rons, in this widespread republic.
Members Of Congress, the municipal authorities
sud the public Of Washington in general, are pre-
caring for the sad solemnities attendant upon IN.
fGrcral Of the late lsmenied General Taylor, Pre-
sdent of the United States. From what we have
heard the obseques will be conducted in a manner
that will rebound to the credit of the corporate
authorities Of the capital well as of its citizens
We are glad to learn that the general impression
m Washington is. that Mr.. Fillmore will he found
eoual 10 the emergency in which h. finds himself
rlaced and that there il every prosDec, 81 N.
