WAtmso7ox, March .lst, 1850.
There has been wonderful lu:1 in the public
mind here in regard to the Mexican difficulties
since the reception Of the official account Of the
capture Of Miramon's steamers in the Gulf Of
Mexico, by Capt. Jarvis. The "little speck Of
war" which Sam Coz {who by the way, is
member Of the X. G. C.) and othc. doughfaces
hare been trying to nurse into political thun-
der-cloud, has been rubbed out. II would be
very difficult, just now, to get up an issue upon
any question beside the one which oyershadows
every other. The present is crisis where ev-
cry man who claims to Ee statesman must
"face the music" Every day confirms me in
the opinion tLat the Southern Democracy are
determined TO mako the slavery issue in this
campaign distinct and naked. Especially has
this been observable since the opening of tie
debate Oh Squa:ter Sovereignty bJ Montgomery
last week. No opportunity will be lost, be-
tween this and the Charleston Convention, to
spit upon the dogma Which is 80 dear to the
Northern Democracy. Yesterday, Hindmau Of
Arkansas, which State is claimed in rere7kion
for Douglas 4: Charleston, openly saubbcd
Douglas. Ar. Houston Of Alabama had nude
4 personal explanation, stating that slur upon
Mr.. Dou glas, which was reported in his re-
marks, was not uttered by him. H:udman
thereupon said, "Iused that sentence attrihu-
ted to the gentleman from Alabama, and take
full import" This is in decidedly different
key from the gentle tones employed towards the
Illinois Senator and his followers previous to
the election Of Speaker.
I learn that 1T. Douglas is preparing for pub
1icadon pamphlet containing the opinions Of
over fifty prominent Democratic statesmen in
favor OF Squatter Sovereignty. uttered since
1856. This will probably be his last card before
going to Charleston. ! understand that this
game vii! be checked By publication Of the
Senator'S own record against Squatter Soyer-
eighty, showing where and when, as occasion
suited him, he has time and again repudiated
the doctrine. There are number Of prominent
Georgians here, who have just come OF, breath
ing threatcnInGs and slaughter against him.
An excellent representation of "the Knight
with the Woful Countenance" arrived here last
night, in the person Of your fellow. citizen, Tom
Dyer. lie is on his way home from Charleston.
lie looks sadly enough. Making all due allow
aacs for the wear aud tear Of two or three
mig hts ride by rail, he is most lamentably
"down IN the mouth" / think that if he were
subjected to IN dnte-morxm examination after
his arrival home, therc would BE- found in his
ear an exceedingly large animal Of the genus
flea.
Among the business transacted in The House
yesterday, was the passage Of an act of some
Importance, reported from the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, aud drawn up by
Senator Coi1amer, Of Vermont, formerly Post
Master General. 1t is bill providing TINT il
the writer Of letter shall indorsc On the back
Of it direction that it shall be returned to him
it fundelivered, instead of it being advertised
md sent to the dead letter Office to be de-
stroEed, it shall, after remaining uncallcd for
thirty days, be returned to the person who
wrote it. This is privilege that many people
will be glad to avail themselves Of. The eril
for which the bill is . remedy is one which has
been aud is felt especially in commercial CON-
mnnties. John Cochrane stated that the New
York merchants had been in the habit for some
time of following this practice.
am reliably informed that tha Tariff ques.
tion will, IS soon as it comes up. which will be
in 1ow days, be pushed through both Houses
by every force which eau be brought to bear in
favor oft. 1t is not expected that cnything
just md liberal 10 the indussl ial ntet1sts of the
country will be nerali1ted to pass the Senate,
but the Cotton Democracy will be placed upon
the rack, and the terrors Of defta will be held
up before them until some concession shall be
e1torted from them in favor Of Protection. 1t
wi!l come like pulling teeth though, and their
sqalrming will be seen Of all men.
II IS now said that the Senate will attach the
abolition Of the frankipg privilege as IN amend
tncnt to the nlileage reduction bill. If this is
done there IS tair probability Of both mea-
surcs being killed. as. i'll addition TO the deter
u the House to adhere to the irank-
ing privilege, there is constantly increasing
disposition, on the part Of old and trusted
members on both sides, to make firm stand
against this practice Of the Senate of Litchiug
new legislation upon bills sent to it By the
House.
