nstt give eGenee 10 the administration branch Of
the late coalition IN New Hampshire, and thus leo
pardise his chances for reelection 10 the United
States Senate. But since Il has become apparent
that the Southern wings are almost unanimous in
favor Of Mr.. Fillmore, and that they indispOsed
to support Gen. Scott without some endorsement of
the compromise; and since the people Of New
Hampshire have so emphatically pronounced in
favor of those measures and sent Hale into political
oblivion, it seems that there is to be renewal of
the slavery agitation on the part Of these dstin-
guished "woolly-heads." Mr.. Seward presented
five petitions on Wednesday, praying for repeal and
Mr. Hale one, which were laid on the table, on mo-
tion of Mr.. Norris, of New Hampshire, by vote Of
praying that Congress would adopt such measures
as would result in the extinction Of slavery in the
United States, was similarly disposed Of by the still
more decisive vote Of 80 to 8.
head" wing leaders have finally determined to carry
out threat published some weeks since in the Neio
York Tribune, and endorsed by the Detroit Tribune,
that, if the Southern wings will not take Scott,
will bid them goodbye, and elect him &c on their
own hook" The late improvement in Mr. Fill
more's prospects has evidently walked Mr.. Seward
up, and we may soon expect to have a full-blast
revival OF the slavery agitation, il no and his organs
can get one up-all for Gen. scotts benefit, Of
course.
The late splendid speech of Commodore Stockton,
at Trenton, in favor of Webster, the tariff the fede
parry. VIC ucIuocrutlc party, economy, anu MS
great grand children, augurs favorably for his
mnation, by the democrats in Baltimore, in GER
tain contingency, or the wings in Philadelphia in
positive contingency. 1t is believed by many, that
if the Baltimore Convention cannot agree upon
either of the prominent democratic candidates now
spoken Of and Gen. Scott is likely to be dropped by
the wings, the Commodore would be the most suit
able person to be nominated by both conventions.
The Commodore is a military man, q naval man,
and every sort of a man, and is evidently fond Of
'soup." While the General is averse to expressing
his political opinions "to the great disgust Of the
public" Excepting semi-occasonally,) the Com

was democratic man of eminence and worth-the
leader of the democracy in New Jersey! Again,
the Commodore assures us that his father was a
fedcralist-that he himself was drought up at the
feet of Gamalie in the straest sects of federalism,
and that he always has been federalist At the
same time, he wants to see the country brought
back ito the simplicity andeconomy Of the days of
Jefferson &C., &c.
that the Commodore is the trump card-the very
man to whip old fuss and feathers all TO pieces
with, and give him odds at that! The "Jersey

Press relates his experience after this wise:-
'Ole Bull played his composition that unri-

regions OF sentiment-nay 1t seemed sometimes to be

The rumor Of the late quarrel in the cabinet is
stil generally believed, although semi-ohicialy de-
med by the administration organs. The story
goes that Secretary Corwin and Postmaster Hall
10th wished to apply to Congress to make APP
p opration for additional clerks in their depart
ments but feared that two applications would not
be granted. Mr.. Corwin insisted on having the
Clerks, Mr.. Hall asserted that he was most in want
Of them, and the President, being appealed to, de-
cidcd in favor of the latter.
The printing of the Presidents message and ac-
companying documents ordered at the commence
ment OF the present session, would seem to have
been postponed until after the Presidential election,
if not indefinitely. Thus far, only the bills calen-
dars and a few short reports Of committees, have
made their appearance The delay has already
cost the government more than enough to sustain
half dozen well regulated government printing
bureaus, (after the plan proposed by the HERALD,)
during session of Congress. As the work has
been performed for a few years past under the
tract SYSTEM it is furnished at late period that
members will not take the trouble to distribute
documents, considering them Of about as much
value many last years almanacs. They are,
therefore, piled up for time in the public build
ings, and finally sold by somebody for wastepaper,
to the storekeepers. There is scarcely store on
the avenue which has not at the present moment a
full supply. This is the way the peoples money
goes, under the contract system. +.
