EVIDENTLY A MISTAKE

Our neutral contemporary evidently made a
mistake yesterday morning, in dating his Wash
ington correspondence. In place of dating il
the 14th he should have dated it about the Sth
We have supposed for some time, that their nu
merous foreign correspondence, was manufac-
tured in this city but never felt exactly justi.
fed in making tho charge until thus morning
Four days for letter from Washington to Du-
buque, is little quicker time than was ever
made in summer and with the very best mail
facilities we can command. We will extract
portions Of their correspondent "North- Vests
"Washington Feb IA.
"Yesterday, the House went into Committee
of the Whole, on the bill to make Land War
rants assignable, to pay Registers and Receivers
&C."
| Doubtful-the latest intelligence we have,
which was the 7th, the House in Committee of
the Whole had torn the bill all to pieces.
"No sooner was the chairman in his seat, than
up jumps Cabell of Florida, and opens the whig
programme. He considered the relative cond-
ton of pafties-the compromise, aboli,ionism,
and finally came to the main point, decara-
ton for Fillmore. This was all no doubt, by
concert among Southern wings, and it is this
consideration alone which gives importance to
the movement.
81 think they will have trouble with this mat
ter before they are through with it. Webster's
friends consider this the last gasp with him, and
they will die hard
Oh, crackey what time they must have had
Only think of it, Wets,cr's friends consider it
the last gasp ,oih him, and they aciH die hard
Should not wonder if they did. When the last
'.gasp" comes, people generally die hard.
"No new developments in the Democratic
ranks. The main battle will be between Cass
and Buchanan;-the former is the more accent
able with the North, the latter with the South
In case the forces h We To be withdrawn from
this, to new ground, it is difficult to say what
that ground viii be. Douglas, Marcy, Houston,
Butler, w. Il. King, and Lane VIII all come in
for a chance.
Cass and Buchanan are the mcn-why: Be.

day, in connection with census printing

it has made tour of the continent and returned

s.There is maniest disposition among the
different sects of the Democratic party, to unite
and in this they VII probably be successful.
So the boys decided in discussion on the
street the other day. Their decision was based
up,n the result of the recent SAFE elections.
81 see by the Iowa papers, that there is still
much excitement upnn the subject Of railroads
IL this is prejudicial to the cause, far al To-
wa papers are read by the members of Congress
Newspaper articles addressed to the fenrs Of
any one here, will utterly fail in accomplishing
TIE object sought.
Yes, the excitement is great and if not preju-
diciai to the memiers Of Congress, it is highly
to few individuals, who aspire to
be members. or course public opinion will
never affect the fears Of those who disregard it
and hold it in disgust. The following are the
editors comments upon the above extracts of the
