McDuffir took his scat in the U. S. Sc. natc on the 4th instant. Judge Noaii has retired from the editorial department of the N. York Union, the new Tyler paper of the city of New York. The new editors place under the editorial head tlis name of John , Tvl er for President, and Wim.iam C. Bouck, of i New York, for Vice President, " subject to the decision of a Democratic. National Convention." On the 4th instant the legislature of New York commenced its unnual session. Governor Bouck in his message, m ikes objection on consti- i tutional ground to the law of Congress requiring the election of members of that body to be made by districts, and also to the Bankrupt Act. He also expresses the opinion that persons charged in one State with the crime of stealing slaves, when demanded from the Executive of another State an fugitives from justice, ought to lie given up. He will of course, we presume, if called upon by the Governor of Virginia for the negro thieve* whom Governor Skwaru refused to deliver up, surrender them for trial.

' FROM WASHINGTON. From the correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Dec. 28. 1 Wc learn from Now York that the grand Do- ' mocratic Committee, just elected, for the city of 1 Now York, is so composed as to give a preponderance to the Calhoun men. This is the more pro. bable for the reason that most of the young incn of tlicd eniocr.itic party in New York urc fiiendly to the election of Mr. Calhoun. There arc symptoms even here of movements ' in favor of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Cushing in uspcccli I of yesterday, which aroused much party feeling, on all sides, alluded very strongly to the dissen- ' lions in the democratic ranks, and thereupon warn. 1 ed them that the administration could exercise a decided iiiilucucc in the ultimate choice, if they chose. Hy the way, Mr. Cushing's speech on the Rank. rupt Repealing Act has opened a grand political debate?which may Inst till many of its participants arc politically bankrupt?i. c. till their tcJin of ' service shall expire. Mr. (.'uniting certainly aroused the attention of J both sides of the House in a remarkable degree.? The Gtolie considers his doctrines as profligate, 1 bocu use lie offers the co-operation of the Executive. | ' with any party that will co-operate with it. The (ilubc, however, it must be remembered, has steadily repelled all the efforts of tho Tyler men to creep into the democratic ranks, and for the ' plain reason that there would not be offices enough | for all. The bankrupt debate is the great political debate of the session. Mr. Arnold began it. Mr. Gushing has sjKikcn boldly, nnd with more truth than ( poetry, on the side of the administration. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, on the whig side, spoke very ably to-day?showing the inconsistencies of Mr. Cashing, Mr. Webster, Mr. Tyler, &.c. Mr. 1 Kennedy, of Indiana, a thorough loco-foco, spoke l most earnestly on the other side, and vindicated ; I democracy and Tylerism. Mr. Wise has the floor i for to-morrow, und will, 1 doubt not, exert himself i very much. i The Senate is not engaged in any business of public importance. Washington, Dec. 2f). < The dchato in the House on the position of the ( Tyler Administration ; the causes of the failure ol < Whig measures, and of the defeat of tho Whig < party at the late elections; the prospect* of the ; Democratic party; the noxl l'rcs dcutial election, < Ac., is still going on, and it< not likely to ubatc in I interest. Mr. Cushing's speech is regarded as a I Cabinet manifesto. Mr. Horace Evcrrett declared that it was prefaced by advice and uttered by ' authority. The speech, or proclamation?whatever it ma}- lie called, has proved a failure, so far ' as it was intended to intimidate or coax either the Whigs or the Democrats into the support of the Administration of John Tyler und the passage of ll... k* i fllll ll'f ' a i i. a _ hi v ajjiuiiciiuvr mil* a no niruugii i?ir. ^ Thompson, of Indiana, declared they would neither l?c l?ri!>ed nor brow-beaten into it, and his colleague, ' Mr. Kennedy, says the Democrat* will not bid a ^ copper for John Tyler, even now that he is put up with all his patronage lor sale to any party.? Mr. Kennedy, however, in the course of his speech did Mr. Cushing the justice to treat his pr iposi. lion as it was intended ; and as so much censure | It.is been cast on Mr. Cushing for offering to tain, per with the immaculate virtue of Congress.?.Mr. < Kennedy,s remarks arc worth Repeating. j *' .Mr. Kennedy said, lie would tell I lie i gerrl -1111111 from Massachusetts, (Mr. h Cushing) that on hchall ol lus parly Incould giv o no hid.

And if he found that n certain set < [>f men wore hanging on its wheels and ,, 'logging them so that they could not ! t move, it was Ins duty to demand support j wherever there was honesty enough to ? jive it. If this was all the gentleman meant, Mr. K. applauded the sentiment ; tnd hoped the great Democratic party would take especial care to net as their h ivowed principles should demand." Ii Mr. Wise had tho floor to-day, and v miblio curiosity was inueli excited in re- i " jnrd to his defence of his position. Hut j" ?ir. \viso was so much crumped by the !
