,OUU PAKTY.-— Tho Whig party is not a Socialist pnr.y, is not an Anti-Rent party, is not an Abolition party, Is not a Sectional party but a great National party, a Constitutional party, a law-lov-ing and law-abiding party. Gen. TAYLOR is not a Socialist, nor an Anti-Rent-er, nor an Abolitionist, nor a Sectionalism nor Nullifier but a NATIONAL WHIG, and tho impartial Executive of the whole Union. A party made up by a combination of Whigs, Abolitionists, AntiRenters, and land-dividing reformers, would be liko tho feet of the imago seen by Nebuchadnezzar, part iron and part miry clay, which would not cohere.— Tho Whig platform is long enough and broad enough for tho whole party to stand upon, without planking isms on to tho bordors. And it is poor policy to invite schismatics upon it to crowd off Whigs.—-'Albany State Register.

PLOUGHING BY STEAM. The Bauffshire (Eng..) Journal states that a patent for a steam plough has been taken out by the inventor, Mr. James Usher, of the firm of Usher & Co., of Edinburg, and the machine will shortly be before the public. The machine is constructed to plough six furrows at once, thus doing the work and saving the expense of six double horse plows. The great weight of the machine, which is estimated at three tons, may be thought an objection but this is in a great degree obviated by the use of a large roller, which is so placed in the center as to balance the machine, and prevent the wheels sinking. The cost of the entire apparatus is estimated at £300. ~~~~~~~

CONGRESS—COMPROMISES, &c. The following very sensible remarks ttfe lakejfrom a late liumber of the National jfntelligencer. ^Having recently spent seme time in^Vashingtoii, and closely| observing the course of events in Congress, we are pfepared to believe that the Intelligencer takes a much mgfe rational view of things than the editors of many papers which occasionally fall in our way, from diffesent sections of the country. Congress has been many months in session, and apparently done but little business, so far as the enacting of laws is concerned. People abroad think this strange, and conclude that their representatives are really doing nothing, or worse than nothing, for the eountry. A person on the spot will be ^kble to judge differently—and although he may be satisfied that Congress as body are not doing perhaps ail that ought to be done, slill, something is doingl Representatives are not idle.

Nany minds are to be reconciled.— Members of Congress represent a great vatfeiy of influences—constituencies, of opiosiie and conflicting sentiments and interests. Perhnps some dozen or fiftefi of these influences, more or less of a purtizan character, all to be recon-

Who i« PWI|| 1 What one of fifteen has rjl jhl |Q CQm

pel the balance to give up A spirit ol compromise should be consulted. And when the various subjects are of great Importance, much latitude of debate must be allowed. It can't be helped, and perhnps ought jiot to be. Something is due to honest opinions although often wrongfully entsrtuined. As a general ride, we must believe that members of Congress are as good judges of matters before them, and the course to be pcrsucd, under all circumsiances, ns any equal number of men laken from the people of the whole country. The National Intelligcncer thus speaks

We observe in several papers, of late

lenceof the National Intelligencertouching the grave and delicate questions which at present engage so anxiously the attention of Congress, and a contrast drawn between that silence and the freedom with which other journals at the seat of Government express their opinions and comment on the various legislaiive plans brought forward fur tho settlement of tho question of the day Had the persons who thus regard the course of the Intelligencer in this particular as of sufficient consequence for remark hoen long acquainted with the paper, they could hardly fail to have observed thai its Editors havo never been in the habit of volunteering advice to Congress on matters of difficulty having usually found ilio good sense of tho masse® the two Houses—comprising generally, as now, among their Members some of the wisest intellects of the age equal to the most perplexing emergencies.

However anxious we have occasioning roti, ami as we uo ai mis time, respecting questions of importance agitated in Congress, yet, conceiving that our advice to Congress in regard to them would be neither beneficial nor becoming, we have abstained, with raro exceptions, from obtruding upon the attention of Congress our individual views upon such questions depending before it. We say this certainly without meaning to impute tho slightest degree of impropriety to those journals, at the seal of Government or elsewhere, which have thought fit, in the exercise of their unquestionable right, to pursue a different course.

Our forbearance from taking part in the discussion of the questions which have inevitably resulted from the acquisition of vast regions of territory—purchased most dearly by a lavish effusion of the blood and treasure of the country—is, therefore, imputablo to anything but doubt or indifference as to the magnitude or consequence of the questions at issue. On the contrary, seeing that our silence has been misinterpreted, we take occasion to say, whilst placing ourselves right upon that point, that we have concealments touching the various propositions before Congress for settling the slavery controversy in regard to which wo are free to avow that, eschewing^ ultraism on that as on most other subjects, it appears to us to bo of less importance which of the plans before Congress shall succeed, than that some one of them shall succeed, and that speedily. We shall cheerfully welcome any measure, or any series of measures, (including the admission of California into the Union, with the Constitution which she has herself formod,) which shall command majorities in the two Houses of Congress. Preferring the plan recommended by tho President to Congress, in his Messago of the 21st of January, as well-considered, constitutional. and just—and offering fewer difficulties to be overcome than any other that is likely to succeed—we should yet hail with satisfaction the adoption fang plan which would do justice to the political claims of California, and at the same time restore to the minds of the People of this country the quiet that has been unhappily disturbed by the peals ol discord which, during the fast five or six months, have been rung out to them from the Halls of Congress.

Of the several plans which are before Congress, we do not think that the fate of the nation or the peace of the country depends upon the choice which shall be made and we see no necessity, there* fere, for advocating with undue vehemence or tenacity any one in preference to another."

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate on the 22d ^zhessage was received from the President Irt answer to (irresolution of the Senate, transmitting ell th£ additional correspondence to his possession of the establishment of ^ffQ tJnion a Stale Governmet in California—a copy of the journal of the constitutional convention, and copies of such ordinances adopted by the convention as are in thlg department. The message was laid on the table as a portion of the correspondence is confidential. JMr. Yulee said that he had designed calling up his resolution relative to Cuba, but would postpone it. The bill to promote the progress of the useful arts was taken up, and after amendments and debate, was laid over. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the special order of the day being the omnibus bill. Mr. Soule in some remarks in reply, said he had no design to say anything offensive to Vermont, but to defend Mexico, Mr. Pearce suggested that the pending amendment be modified, so that the 10th section should declare that the Territorial Legislatures shall pass no laws introducing or extending slavery, provided that nothing in the section shall be construed to prevent said Legislatures from passing such laws as may be necessary for the protection of the rights of property or any kind. Mr. Davis accepted the amendment us a modification of his own. Downs addressed the Senate in support of the general features of the bill, because he believed it would secure peace and a settlement, by which the South would secure more than she could get any other way.

In ihe House, Mr. Phoenix, from the Committee of Commerce, reported a bill to establish a branch mint in the city of New York. Referred to the Commiitee of the Whole. Mr. Potter, from the Post Office Commitiee, offered a resolution authorizing the commitiee to employ a clerk. Tho House went into

to the consideration of the special order of the day, being the report of the Committee on Elections, against Mr. Smith, of New Mexico, and Mr. Babbit, of Des eret, taking seats as Delegates from those Territories. Reports of the majority of the committeo on Elections, and of the minority, Messrs. McGaughey, Vandyke and Andrews, were read in the case of New Mexico, the question presented was the resolution of the majority of the Commiitee, that it was inexpedient to admit Mr. Smith, Delegate from the Territory, to a seat in the House. Mr. McGaughey offerrcd a proviso to the resolution of the minority, ihat ihe admission of Smith as Delegate, would not be denied as an expression of the opinion in relation to the claims of Texas to the Territory lying oast of the Rio Grande, but on tho conirary, that the uuutiuuiy question was left over for further adjustment. The committee rose.

Mr. Thompson, of Miss., called attention to the fact that the debate on the subject before the committee would be continued through this week at least, and would preclude debate on the California subject, the discussion of which was to terminate on the 2d Tuesday in June, and moved to postpone the consideraof the former subject.

On tho 23d in the Senate, a resolution was submitted inquiring into the necessity of amending the rules of the Senate in relation to admitting visitors on the floor. Mr. Mangum moved to substitute printed permits by which each Senator might daily admit to the floor one person. After a spicy debate the subject was referred to a select committee. On motion of Mr. Yulee, the resolution in relation to Cuba was taken up, when Mr. Walker withdrew his amendment and the resolution passed without debate. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill to promote the progress of the useful arts. After some debate upon the amendments proposed the bill was again laid over and the compromise bill was taken up and considered.

In the House various reports from committees were presented, occupying considerable time. Mr. Burt, from the Commitiee on Military Affairs, roported back the Senate bill to increase the rank and file of the army end oncourage enlistments, with an amendment. Mr Jones moved to refer it to the Committee of the Whole on tho state of the Union. Mr. Burt explained the provi saons of tho bill. It merely proposed an increase of numbers in the companies which may be sent to defend the frontiers. Mr. Jones opposed tho passage of the bill. It had not even been printed, and should be sent to the Commitiee of the Whole and there be discussed.

On the 24th in the Senate, the bill making compensation to land officers for locating millitary bounty land wnrrants Was passed. Mr. Bradbury's resolution in relation to removats from office was then taken up. Mr. Webster desired to make a few remarks upon the resolution and it was made the special order for Tuesday. A bill to provide for additional security to lives and property of persons navigating the Western waters was introduced. The Senate then considered the bill establishing a branch mint in New York. Several amendments were proposed and debated, when the further consideration of the bill was postponed

COMPROMISE. .* b: «|fi

The following took place" between Messrs. Clay and Mason in the Senate on the 27th 5«« •ffci

Mr. Mason was addressing the Senate in exposition of the views of the minority of the committee of !3, and those of the Senate who repudiated the scheme of the compromise. Mr. Clay wished to know whether he, Mr. Mason, meant to be understood to say that he would be willing to take the Missouri Compromise to the Pacific, without any legislation by Congress with respect to slavery on either side of him.

Mr. Mason reptieu, iticu jv»I wnMlld. Mr. Clay then asked if all Southern members would be willing to abide by that line, with the conditions named.

Mr. Mason said that the Senator from Kentucky might very soon obtain an answer to his enquiry, if he would himself intimate his willingness to abide by a in I $

Mr. Clay said, that, for himself, he would have no objections to the extension of tho Missouri line across Utah and New Mexico, but not through California. nt'i 1

Mr. Mason replied, that the abolition of ihe slave trade in the District of Columbia, came under the general scope of the resolution against anv act interfering, in any manner, with the rights and interests of slaveholders.

After some remarks from Mr. Cass and Mr. Berrien, Mr. Mason resumed his Conversation with Mr. Clay and said, that, if the Senator would assent io running the Missouri line to the Pacific, and the consequent contraction of the California boundary, there would be no difficulty in settling the whole question.

Mr. Clay said, that, if he thought there was any indication of an entire concurrence of the Southern Senators with the modification suggested by the Senator, ho would hesitate long before he pronounced a refusal of his assent. Let the Senator bring forward his proposition, to run the Missouri line, by way of amendment, and let the ayes and nays be taken upon it, and then it could bo seen how the Southern Senators would vote upon the question.

Mr. Mason said he had no design of dictating any proposition, he was in the minority. ^.-s

The Nashville Convention in Texas.

I-

follows to the New York Tribune respecting the prospects for the Nashville Convention in Texas: "The Nashville Convention is a dead horse here, as the saying is. Not one in ten voted for it, and wherever a poll was opened on it the votes were as fifty to one against it. Texas wants no disunion, and will repudiate the man of the party who does."

And yet, notwithstanding the adverse sentiment of the people of Texas, we may expect to hear of persons appearing in the Nashville Convention in her name, as in the case of Virginia and other Slates whose people have in like manner repudiated that Convention. Nat. Intelligencer.

A Revolution in the currency is going on, produced by the discovery of tho California gold mines. The Philadelphia North American says: "We have a great abundanco of gold coin and gold dust, and but little silver. Formerly the reverse was the case. Our stock of silver has fast diminished, and is still diminishing, and the cause is easily ascertained. Gold dust, which can be readily sold in this city at 918 per ounce, can be as readily bought at San Francisco at $12,50 per ounce, with silver coin, and large amounts of silver coin have been shipped to California for that purpose.— The investment yields a profit of some twenty per cent., while returns are made in the brief space of ninety days."

DEATH OF EX-CJOV. HENDRICKS. Hon. Wm. Hendricks, of Madison, died suddenly of disease of the heart at his farm near that place on the 16th inst.

Mr H. was one of the oldest citizens of Indiana—-having emigrated to it in 1814, and had filled many offices. He was Secretary of the constitutional con vention of 1816, was the first and only representative of the State in Congress for six years, and served as Governor from 1822 to 1825, when he was made a Senator of the United States, and reelected to the same station in 1831.

A FIKE IN THE REAR.—A gentleman who arrived yesterday, in detailing some of the effects of the present flood in the river, stated that in some instances the water, which had flowed through a crevn5se and flowed over the whole country, had backed up against Out rear of the levee, and had broken through It, and thus formed a crevasse flowing inlo the river, where the level of it, from its natural descent, was lower than at the point of the original crevasse, 20 or 30 miles higher ujp.—N.

CUBAJT AFFAIRS.

A few days ago we had Telegraphic news from Havana |tating that Gcn. Lopez landed at Cardenas on the 17th and with 500 men took the two garrisons.

General excitement prevailed at Havana. The city was under martial law. Several thousand militia had been enrolled. Troops had been dispatched to Matanzas. It was reported that troops were Solleeje4 at Women's Island several vessels had started for that place.

THE HUNGARIANS IN IOWA* The Burlington (Jowa) State Gazette speaks of the arrival of Governor Ujltazy, the former Commander of the Fortress of Comorn, in Hungary, with his family and friends, eleven in all, at that place, and speaks as follows of their intentions:

The object of Governor U. and his friends, in coming to Iowa, is to make a selection of land upon which to locate. As all their properly was confiscated by the adverse termination of tho war, they landed on our shores without the means necessary to place them in comfortable circumstances. Their intention, therefore, is to take up at present two or three sections of public land, with the view of bringing it into immediate cultivation.— To do this—to obtain such situations as will afford the desirable advantages— they will probably be obliged to penetrate some distance into the interior. Governor U. and one of his friends left this place on Monday last, for Fairfield, with the view of looking at the country and acquiring information as to the best location Jt is not necessary, we feel assured, to bespeak for him, at the hands of the people of our Western counties, a kind reception, and all the aid that can be afforded him. The struggles and sufferings of the Hungarians are too fresh in the memory of our people to make any request of this kind necessaT. The other members of the party re main in this city.

The settlement now about being made, we are informed, is intended as the nucleus for others, who are preparing to come. Gov. U. even expressed to u» the hope and belief that ere the lapse of another year, Kossuth—the great and good Louis Kossuth—who is the idolized of his countrymen, will be a citizen of Iowa. God grant him a speedy delivery from the hands of his Moslem keeoen.

Gen. Lopez landed from a steamer which left New Orleans on ihe 7th. Several other vessels, containing in all some 1200 or 1500 men, had lefi New Orleans previous to the Creole, but where they. a,re to land is not known.

Arms were being delivered to the mil tia. Resident foreigners and all were called on to enrol. There were 500 troops in Matanzas 500 more were dispatched from Havana at 1 A.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. May 25.

^MThe steamer Isabel touched off here, having left Havana on the 22d. Gen Lopez, accompanied by one of his aids, J. 6anation Sannga. took lodgings at the City Hotel from him we have got the following intelligence.

The expedition left Contay in Yucatan on the 16th, and landed at Curdenas on the 19th lost some time in landing, which gave them time to send an express to Post office at Collasas. ten miles distant. The expedition* entered the town, attacked the jail, supposing it to be the barracks the jail was guarded by 15 men, who stood the fire well at this moment troops were seen crossing the square they hailed, and were answered by firing on the troops after this some soldiers went to the governor's house, which was attacked and burned the house was well defended finally the troops surrendered themselves. The town remained peaceable in possession of the invaders. The invading troops, being satisfied with the warm reception, and having lost time in getting off their wounded,and procuringfuel for the steamer Creole, which was to return for reinforcements, became disheartened, and insisted on going to Key West they were closely pursued by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro, but happily escaped.-— Just before the Ohio left the Pizarro came in with 105 prisoners it was said they were mostly Germans ond Irish it was said that they were to be shot that day at ten o'clock, or at least one out of every ten, and the remainder to bo confined in the dungeon of the Moro Castle.

Still L.ater—Arrest of Gen. Lopez. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, May 26. Great excitement was produced hore last night by the arrest of Gen. Lopez.— The Marshal of the district made the arrest under authority of telegraphic dispatch from the President of the United States. Both Gen. Lopez and his aid were arrested nnd taken before Judge Nichols, of the United States Court.— 1 here being no evidence against the nnr. IKJS, tney were dischargea at a quarter before 12 o'clock. The crowd in the court room was immense, and the decision of the court was received with much enthusiasm. Gen. Lopez was escorted to his lodgings by the crowd he made a speech in which he expressed his determination to carry out his present project, at all hazards. He is a man of pleasing appearance, and intelligent ho made quite a favorable impression on our ciiizens. He left accompanied by his aid, at 7 o'clock this morning, for Mobile.

HENRY CLAY.

Tht position of Henry Clay at the preseat moment, is well calculated to excite wonder and, challenge admfraion. Although more than seventy years of age, we find him leader in the {Senate o^ the United States, the vigor of his mind wholly unimpaired, and his readi ness%aptness,and eloquence never more efficient. The spectacle is encouaging in more points of view than one. It shows ihat conssant intellectual activity in the course of a long and useful life, is calculated to preserve and strengthen the human intellent, rather than to impair and weaken its powers. In such an illustration, we have a noble incentive to ~—|eflbrt, patriotism and duty. Mr. Clay has reached a period of life, when most inendoem it expedient for personal comfort, to retire to the shades, thejquiet and the case, so congenial to age. But he was called upon by his fellow citizens of

Kentucky to appear once more in the Senate of the United States he res{onded from a sense of duty and of patriotism, and we now find him earnestly engaged in a noble effort to adjust the many difficulties that exist between the North and South, and thus to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and give force to the perpetuity of the Union. Whatever the result, he deserves and will re reive the applause of the great mass ol his countrymea. The national weal his sole object. He has no ambitious end to gratify. He seeks the prosperity of his fellow ciiizens, the honor and the glory of the Republic. His life has been one of usefulness, self-sacrifice and un doubled patriotism. Even tho highest office in the gift of the people, could not add in the slightest degree to his reputation. His popularity was never greater than now, and it is national and confined to no section. Every where throughout the Union, Henry Clay has troops of enthusiastic admirers and devoted frienJs. They love the man, they admire the statesman, they appreciate the patriot.— Pkila. Enquirer.

BLACKBIRDS IN ARKANSAS.—These destructive birds are annoying tho farmers of Arkansas. The Van Buren Intelligencer states that an immense and unusual number havo invaded that part of the country, destroying the young corn so effectively that many of the farmers are compelled to keep hand in the field with a gun to fight them off. When a flock lights on a field, it is almost destroyed at one sweep. Many fields of young corn have been entirely destroyed by these birds, and owners have been compelled io plant over again.

There is a conspiracy among the Polish and Russian youths at Warsaw. Many arrests have been made.
