Cheraw, Tuesday, January 10, 184:1.
The Editor returned home before the present <
number went to press, after a longer absence than
he expected.
Gen. 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.
ArronTioNMKsr Law.?On the 27th ult. the
Hon. Joiin Campdrlt., of S. C. gave notice in the
House of Representatives that he would, the next
day, introduce a Kill to suspend, for a limited
time, the operation of the 2d nee of " an act for
the np|?ortinnmont of Representatives among the
several Slate* according to the 6th census."

committee of Congress on Post O dices to devise (
the best plan for carrying the proposed reform into ,
operation.
From the State of Georgia we are happy (says
the Notional intelligencer) to learn that an act
has passed its Legislature for laying off the Slat a (
into districts, in conformity with the act of Congress,
for the choice of Representatives in Con- |
grew.

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. Hut he .scarcely thought
tho gentleman in enrnesl. lie had not
understood linn us bringing in Mr. Ty h-r
to he lud for here, though he must confess
his speech had u most powerful leaning '
that way. [Hours of mcrrirm nl.] He (
lind understood (lie gentleman simply t<> '
mean that Air. Tyler was Picsidoul ol }
llus United Slates ; that those who hail 1
put hiin into ollice no-v turned out t>? he a
(action, and were wi ling to break up mid
destroy Iho (.* ivernmont for tho sake ol
wroak ng their vengennge up hi him, (a: el

Government, must curry it on with the (

gentleman meant, and he meant, Mr. K
corresponded with him in opinion. As r
long ns i\Ir. Tyler was President, lie was t
President ; the Government was not to
!?o stopped. It was not very material to ?
I ho people who was President, hat it was ?
material that the Government should go
jii. 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 ! L>
>nc hour rule, that lie innde little iuipros. I
lion. He undertook to show that the Whig I
lissensions commenced prior to the iiiiiu- J v
munition of IIakkison, and that the par- . r<
!y would have fallen to pieces, even if '>
IIakkison had not been taken away. j v
At the conclusion of his hour, Mr. Wise "
:ast an anxious look to the clock, and w
dated that he had just come to the most <
mportant point in his remarks. He would
iiulcrtuke to prove the truth of (he allegalion
that the Whig members of Congress \
lid oiler to postpone the second Hank hill, '
f Mr. Tyler would retain his cahiuet. '
Mr. Wiso appealed lo the House for
cave to proceed, but the Whigs refused "
cave, by. yeas and nays. Mr. Wise, ;
