t$- The hs9uirer told us y few days ago upon III
authority Of the New York Mirror tina, in spite Of the CD
position ofJohn Van Buren,, the Democratic General Com
msee (Soits) at Tammany Hall had passed. by vote Of
~ to L. series OF resolutions fully endorsing the doc
trne Of Governmental nonntererence IN the domestic
legislation Of territories aud declaring the Compromise
Bills Of 1850 full and final settlement Of the slavery
question on thar basis It turns out however that III
same committee rejected resolution proposing sanction
OF the repeal OF the Missouri Compromise as proposed by
the Nebraska bill Let that 20 though and let us see,
upon Democratic authority, what the resolutions they did
pass are worth. We make the following extracts on thi.
subject from leading Democratic journals:
From the n. Y. National Democrat
Thesc resolutions characteristics of tho
clan Of political trickscrs which meet at Tammapy I,l
composed is OF parts of Van Burentes and three
parts OF rotten Democrats who sloughed Off from the
old Democratic party and joined the fortunes Of the trail
tors OF ISIS These roitens have majority the
pure Van Burenites in the Coahoo committee and they
could therefore, in spite OF Prince john pass whatever
resolutions they pleased But their position is such that
they are obliged to yield something to John aud his end
or they will be LEFT alouo by themselves in this State
most miserable aud helpless squad who will DO hardly
enough in numbers to be called faction The dem
liens OF the Coaholc are therefore, only In very
dark place, but in very peculiar position The Admin
sration commands them "too mark" but the Van
buren, portion Of the coalition point blank refuse "oe the
mark, aud tho "rottens' IL the Van Burcntes leave
them, not corporars guard in the State So the Ad
ininisiration" is reduced 10 fearful extremity"
From the Washington Sentinel.
"As CHAR As Mup.-The soft shell general committee
otNew fo had meeting on Thursday evening last
The object Of this meeting Il is to be presumed to
take action the Nebraska BILL aud tho practical
issues presented by IT, There could have been 10 9TH
object that divine for their consideration and
actioc. They met to determine whether they would "a
vo oppose the repeal of the Missouri compromise; but
instead OF coming on, explicitly cateSoricay, aud
fully, they passed preamble and resolutions that
tai man can understand They abont clear as mud
aud as Ineligible ancient riddle We publish, iron
the Express abstract Of the proceedings Of the COM
uee in another column. II appears that Mr., John Van
Buren, and ten twelve Others very consistently
persevciingy voted against every proposition that even
squnted land none Of them did morel slavery. After
passing vague, general and unmcauing resolutions
amendments oered-one expressing opposition to
the repeal of the Missouri compromise aud the other in
favor OF its repeal Both lost. The committee re-
fused to join issue. They solsmny said nothing They
mum. They will do neither the thing nor the
other What We to understand? Do they expect the
country to be satisfied with this empty ceremony with
this formal nonsense with this pitifu farce They must
try again ihey must either follow quit Mr. John Van
Buren,.
