WAsHINoToN, April 10, 1850.
Since my last, another candidate for the no.
miuation has been very prominently brought
Onward by the Democrats. Sam Houston, ii
is said. possesses elements of popularity with
which lew men are invested. Those of the
party in Washington who have been dubious
in regard to the ultimate success of other men,
begin now 10 believe that triumph awaits
them under tie leadership of The galant Texian.
The friends Of Gen. Houston have been 81.

self has notbeen idle, and for special purpose
has ahsented himself dunng the past month or
two from bis seat in the Senate. His friends
saw that he is the only man upon whom the
party in New York can or will cordially unite.
They contend that Sam Houston is the man
FOR the masses, and his name alone would
awaken degree oil enthusiasm which has been
rarely witnessed. Now all this record as a
portion of the history OF The times. 1t is verv
mathematical, however, whether or not these
enthusiasts in his cause will ever realize their
present bfigh inag lnings.
The agony, relative TO the Congressional
printing, it would seem, is at last over, the Joint
OOfftI1ttlSS Ga fNt kNO 1OuSCS having
toned the printing between the Union and the
Republic. The Union gets rather the largest
slice, as the printing for the House has been
assigned to that office. Why the IntelIisencer

The House bill, making an appropriation of

Notwithstanding the incorporate and captious
opposition with which it has been met.
A certain Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun saws, that sit is fixed fact that
the friends OF Cass and Douglas riH not quar-
rel with one another" Why does he not speak
in the present tense. Now il is ''fixed fact''
that just now fierce warfare is being waged
between the respective organs ofthese gentle
men ; refer to the Detroit Daily Advertiser"
and the "Chicago Democrat" Charges of de
ception, and breaches of good faith, are freely
interchanged. A spirit OF rivalry has been en-
gendered between the two western candidates
which promises, ultimately, TO secure TO Bu-
chanan the domination. Mr.. Douglas very
well, and very rightly, perceiyes that if Cass
should be nominated his chances are gone for,
at least eight, if not twelve, long years, las it is
cardinal point with the party not to choose
two candidates, successfully, from the same
section.)
The truth is, both parties are having a de-
lghtful time in their endeavors to heal the d.
visions, heartbarnings, jealousies and rivalries
existing in their ranks.
