A day or two ago the Union published reso-
lutions purporting to have been adopted by the
committees of the New York Democracy in
support of General CAss's claims to the Presi-
dency; and the National Democrat, issued in
that city, refers to the same proceedings as in
dicative Of the Generals popularity, and his
title to the unfaltering support of the New
York delegates.

the fear Of Tammany Hall before its eyes, thus
quietly blows up whatever consolation the Gen

crivEp.-The two general committees Of this ooun-
ty, on Thursday evening last, adopted resolutions
favorable 10 the nomination of General Case. The
nature and value Of the compliment did not re
aze when first read them in the papers. They
looked there just like any other resolutions. We
have since learned that OF the sixty persons who
compose the Old Mems Committee. only twenty.
three were present at this meeting; and of the one
hundred who compose the Young Mems Commit
tee, but thirty seven were present.

strength in the committee. The attendance and
the result would have been very different Of course
if there had been any notice, or even suspicion,
that special business was TO be transacted That
fact was judoiously concealed by the minority un-
til the meeting.

it was doing good by stealth to pass these
lutions promptly, upon the adjournment Of the
Virginia Convention, when the General may be
supposed to be standing NEST in need of coincidence
and sympathy.
Though tho attendance was small, and though
most Of those present never appear TO better ad-
| vantage than when they keep silent, and though
none Of their number dared to let the majority
know Of their purposes any more than a child dare

Con1ress and the Public Lands.

When the Senate, by large majorities, passed
bills granting tracts of land in Iowa and Mis-
sour to aid in the construction of trunk lines Of
railroad in those States, we imagined that the
friends of those and kindred measures might
anticipate prompt and friendly action on the
part of the House; and that the session, begin
ming badly, would not end without affording
substantial indications Of a growing desire TO
afford national assistance to what may pro-
perly be designated national Improvements.
We were altogether mistaken. The Senate,
having achieved the passage Of two bills, has
found it necessary to seek relaxation in less
practical discussions; while the House. having
delivered itself of the Deficiency bill, shrinks
from the task of graphing with subjects that
afford few chances for the manufacture Of party
capital, and which, peradventure, would inter
fere seriously with lighter, more exciting, and
more attractive entertainments. The result is
that the members having charge Of the inca
sures of which the Iowa bill mny be regarded as
a type, experience difficulty in taking a single
step forward, and have so far failed in all at
temp,s to elicit discussion Of the principle in
volved.
The seeming Indifference OF the House to
these questions is the more extraordinary be-
cause wholly irreconcilable with the zeal and
devotedness with which it has appropriated a
large fraction of the session to another plan fer
the disposal Of portions Of the public domain.
From two quarters, at least, strenuous opposi-
lion to auxiliary grants of land is both in,eIli-
pibe and consistent. The outand out Demo.

priety, If not with reason, battle stou,ly against
these involuntary tributes TO the soundness of
Wing policy; tributes proceeding, for the most
part, from sections Of the country represented
by Democratic delegations, and which therefore
imply either change Of sides by the consti,u-
encies themselves, or a determination to expur-
gate a distinctive feature Of the Democratic

The Compromise Resolution.

The policy of the Administration in regard
to the measures of Adjustment was sustained
yesterday by an overwhelming vote in the
House Of Representatives. Mr.. JAcKsoN's
evasive and e-sided resolution was rein
forced by substantial amendment, in con-
formity with our suggestion, and was adopted,
as amended, by vote that will be found
recorded in another column. The contest
and the test vote were on the amendment,
which was transcript substantially from the
first message of President FILLMORE. Thus
the House has passed the resolution which
was laid on the table in the DEMOCRATIC eau
Gus, and which was adopted by ihe WING
caucus on the first day Of the session. The
amendment Of Mr.. HILLYER, which embraced
the points of the message, having been adopted,
Mr.. JACKsoN's original resolution was an
useless appendsge, harmless altogether, and
chiefly Objectionable from the transparent pur-
pose for which it was in the first instance
offered by Dr. FITCH.
The House very wisely voted down the call
for the previous question on Mr.. JAcKsoN's re-
solution. They were determined that there
should be no riddle or enigma to go before the
country Without plain, Ineligible propo-
sition, on which men could show their hands,
and make manifest who were willing to abide
in good faith by the Compromise as comPro-
mise-in all its parts.
That in this the first important division on
the policy of the Administration, the PRrsI
DENT should have been sustained by 80 large a
majority in the popular branch OF Congress,
demonstrates that he has adopted course ap-
proved by the PEOPLE.
