WASHINGTON, January 3.
4 Calm in Pohhcs-Diferences in Democratic Opil-
ion-Dedafc in the House on Cuba-IHe Homestead
Bill. &c.
Everything is calm and quiet in polilics-waiting
for the process of crystaization. II cannot be de
MED however, that there different opinions enter
tanned by the representatives Of the different sections
of the democratic party, in regard 10 the principles
which ought 10 govern the Cabinet appointments OF
the President elect. There those who believe
that d Cabinet only be unit when II represents
one and the same principle and that other compo-
sition can do more than furnish compound fraction
There is Logic Of events as unsParing and rigorous
as that applied TO abstract propositions.
In the House very interesting debate on Cuba
was ngged in, and carried with great spirit. Mr..
Venable gave the conservative and doubt deeply
medtated, views of Mr.. Calhoun the subject, and
supported them very ably himself to wit: " That
wait till the fruit is ripe, and not stretch oul
hands after it before it is ready to drop into
lap" This is uoubt the view Of the greater por-
ton of the Southern lights men, il is douhtless
the best policy to be adopted BY the whole country
Whenever the South ceases TO be conservative, ii
will be untrue to its own mission and lose sight of
its interests.
Gen. Jones Of Iowa, who to-day in his seat in
that body, IOoking remarkably well, will, learn,
call Up the homestead hi II, with view Of making ii
the special order for early day in the session. He
is. believe, prepared speak it, and Gov Bell
of Tennessee, will probably follow him, on The same
side. Let the subiec; be thoroughly discussed and
understood, and there will be difficulty in passing the
bill.
Whatever has 10 be done this session be done
| soon as half the session will be through before
Congress is half under way for the despatch Of bust
ness. X.
