citing interest.

The Californians ask for Navy Yard
and Naval Depot, and for Basin ant
Railway, in addition to the Dock already
ordered. The subject came up to-day fol
discussion, in the Senate. There can be
no reasonable objection to the Navy Yaro
and Depot. The site, at least, ought te

support of the Webster and Fillmore
Wings. The Seward Wings will support
him, notwithstanding the declarations he
may make in favor of the Compromise
measures.
The only question is, whether Gen
Scott can receive Southern support. A:

Scott. But the indications are, that Gen
Scott, when put on National ground, will
command as much strength in the Soutl

any at the North. 1t is folly TO talk O

election. Those who want office woult
as lief take it under Scott as Cass. Thos,
who look to the public good, will think
