Our Wasb ington Correspondence, Wasninoron, January 19, 1890. ‘The Seventh Week of the Sesnon. Seven weeks of the session have expired. They have been frittered away in the Sena@ upon mere preliminaries, and in the House upon an organiza- tion which is net yet complete. After electing two or three doorkeepers, and reversing the decision in each case, the wise men of the lower branch wisely resolved to-day to give up the struggle in disgust, end a motion was made postponing the election of doorkeeper and postmaster till the 4th day of March, 1851. On Monday, however, it is just as likely as anything else that this decision will be reversed, and that several days more will be devoted to the doorkeeper and postmaster. How the Union is to stand together through the session without the election of a doorkeeper, it is impossi- ble to find out. ‘Masterly inactivity,” the course of the President on the alavery questions though resolved upon with respect to the doorkeeper, 1s not sosmactary "7 « democrats desire a new doorkeeper, and the whigs want a new postmaster, these can only be had by persevering in an election But seriously, for once, it is to be hoped that the resolution adopted wail stand, and that the Hovee will go te business, Seven weeks of the session have been expended, and one bill passed, granting the frauking privilege to the wis ow of the late President Polk. But this very hesitation in the legislative business, that must be performed, only foreshadows the more strongly the dangers of the ensis. The ghost of Samuel, the prophet, is calied up, and he must be neard. We believe that there are some symptoms of alarm among Norther men, at the determined po- sition assumed by the South. There appears, also, some disposition to a compromise of some sort with Texus New Meatco; but the only ud thing which is likely to be done with Calif to admit her into the Unie It is probat the next steamer wil us the members torjrom bi Doredo, and their constitution, for the ection of Cenyres lt is probable that, attera tieree struggle, the pill of admission, proviso and ail, will pa vd that it will be signed, and that low se cenes akin to revolu- 3 for be it understood lared that he has s: disunion, and some of give the secec » secede on b ut time to get ral pleas ior pre frends suppos members ot Con signing the Culitormia bil out of Washington.

Failing ina compromise, we have the prospects of “non-1ater- vention,” * masterly inactivity” to fall back upon, such as they are. Oalfornia may be postponed, and mere temporary regulations for the territories may enswer ull the nex: session But viewed in any hg and from apy point whatever, the edministrat stands in a most ri sponsible and eritic tion, and the Union self is already seric weakened in the sympa- thes Cestroyed betwee two sections.

Wasninoton, January 19, 1850, the Negotiations betwen Sw Henry Bulwer and Mr. Clayton—The Warehouse System—Hugh Maxwell, §¢. §c. The negotiations between Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer and our werthy Secretary of State are sull gomg on with great activity, resembling the marq@uvres of two hostile armies, divided by a river, with neither party having the courage to cross it, Mr. Claytoa and Sir Henry are both timid men, only that Mr. Clayton is a little more timid than Mr. Bulwer. Both are afraid of public opimon at home; both are ready to make large concessions, but Mr. Clayton is determined to cede the most. He remiads one of Louis Phi- lippe’s motto, “ la paix a tout prix ;* and if he ever succeeds in making a treaty which shall receive the sanction of two-thirds of the Senate, it will be | evidently a good legislator—a man of ability and e coming week, | sper! in the heart of every to cry “ Amen - Amen.”’ bi effort of the honorable Senator happy of any that has been listened to in halle for map: I have no doubt, usiaet, but, | assure you, the matter and the manner of the Hon. Senator's speech evinced the very highest order of talent, and was richly endowed with true old fashioned revolutionary patriotiem. And proudly the citizens of the State of New York appreciate the man, and his high sense of hon at this day, when faction and fanaticism is more in fashion, and decidedly more popular with sect than duty and pa- triotiem. I would that you could have been present, and en- joyed this great intellectual treat. I would, too. that every fanatical free roiler in our great State could have been there. and made to fegl the enormity of their many political sins. which ver, short of a repentance, long, deep, and sincere, will be forgiven. Our Albany Correspondence, Axnany, Jan. 19, 1850. Lobbying—Anti- Slavery Resolutions— Washington Monument— Codifiers’ Report — Amusements, Fe. Albany is now, as usual durieg the session of the Legislature, thronged with strangers or non- residents, a vast proportion of whom, at the pre- sent time, especially, are office-seekers, or third house representatives. The canal offices invite a large number of applicants before the Canal Board, end the innumerable “claims” before the Legus- lature draw a still larger number. And, by the way, this business of lobbying is becoming every year more and more extensive and controlling. Searce a bill isantreduced, which, upon its intre- duction, does not bring forward these ever present operators, with oflers of services at prices vary- wg according to the importance of each bill. Men frequently manage to receive for these services evgbt to ten dollars a day—more than three times the per diem compensation of members, and often using very unjustifiable means for the consumma- tion cf their objects ; s0 that legislation is subject toa great amount of personal bribery and corrup- ho Of the charecter of the present Legislature, I think 1t may sately be said itas not materially im- proved upon the last. In fhe Senate, ther are jew men of superior talent or qualification ; yet there appears to be a laudable degree of industry, and some apparent dignity. | : The discussion of the anti-slavery resolutions, on Wednesday, in the Senate, was brief, and evineed nothing like the extent of inquiry and feel- ing enticipated. It was expected Mr. Stanton, who was merly an active abolition lee- turer, now Yepresenung the Seneca and Tompkins district, ould make a display of his spesking powers; but he did not. So faras the locotoco poruon of Senators is concerned, Mr. Mann, from Oneida, wall take the lead. He is correct judgment. Mr. Geddes, on the whig side, being elected for the eecond term, is probably re- garded as the leader of whig Senators. Thus, at present, things seem to shape—future emergencies may develope other minds and influences. The Assembly being Joco by a small majority, and the Senate whig, will give rise to close con- tesis between the two houses, on questions affect | ing political matters, and es the measures for a | ton are more perfeetly concocted, also give o | sion tor serious delays in the passage of bills and resolutions : | Strong efforts will be made this winter for the posege of general laws in relation to banks and benkipg, and from the discussions on Saturday, in Senate, it appears evident that while the whig members in that body will go for special laws, the lecos will advocate geaeral principles. Of this matter, however, and of others of general ia- | terest, on another occasion I will write. The friends of a bridge across Lake Champlain, at Rouse’s Point, are making a vigorous eflort to secure the pastage of a law tor that purpose. One meeting of the committee to whom that subject was referred, has been held, and a high degree of feeling exhibited for and agwinst it. Ttis believed by those opposed to the measure, that the tenden- cy of such @ northern thoroughfare link will be to | diverta large amount of (ramsportation fromthe Erie cenal and railroads, und since the completion of | amirocle. It is this fear of the Senate that ren- ders Sir Henry somewhat circumspect, and so | exceedingly gracious to senators aud members.

Mr. Ball has been se- verely censured during his official term, for with- holding payment from domestic creditors, under the plea of seoting the interest on the State debt; cauting many needy claimants to suffer uniary loss, which might have been avoided by a more accommodating course.

Matthews, of Mis- tissippi, was delivered to the Legislature of that State onthe 7th inst. After a comprehensive re- view of the } afiairs of the State, he speaks in strong and emphatic terms upon the subject of the ‘Wilmot proviso. He denies the right of Congress to legislate upon the subject, as the federal govern- ment is not a sovereignty but the mere agent of many sovereignties. He condemns the conduct of Gen. Riley, in proclaiming Mexican law, thereby exclud- ing every religion but that of Catholic, together at Veriance with the laws of this country, and un- paralleled. As the Congress of the United States made po provision for the government ot the ter- ritory, the President possessed no power to appoint agovernor. The election of delegates to the con- vention and the proclaiming a constitution, exclu- ding the South from tekin their property to that tersitory, he says, 1s illegal, and all done without the approbation of Congress. He opposes all tur- ther compromises, a8 injurious to the interests of the South, as the compacis heretofore entered into haye been violated by the North, and recommends a firm resistance to the last extremity. The spirit of fanaticism and aggression will never be stayed by compromiees, but will continue its work of de- struction until the land will be drenched in blood, and the glorious temple of human liberty, reare by our fathers, and consecrated by their blood, shall tumble into ruins. In the event of the adop- tion of the Wilmot proviso, the admission of Cali- fornia into the Union by virtue of her. pretended constitution, the abolition of slavery in the Dis- | tinct of Columbia, or the prohibition of the com- merce of slaves between the States, he recom- | mends that the Governor be empowered to order | an election of delegates to a convention, to take into consideration the mode and measures of re- drese, and to adopt such measures for their future security as the crisis may demand. He protests strongiy against the conduct of Commander Ran- dolph and Lieutenant Totten, in blockading the southern coast of the State, and compelling the men aseembled at Round Island to disperse, when there was no positive evideace against them, other then a pretended intention to invade the island of | Cuba. The laws of Mississippi were violated, and | when the Executive epplied to the Seeretary of the | Navy for the instructions under which these offi- | cers’ acted, the application was denied. Under such circumstances, he suggests the propriety of instructing their Senators and representatives in | Congress to institute an inquiry into the transac- | ton.
