Mr. King, of Massachusetts. It is impossible at present to say, with any degree of certainty, what the fate of this bill will be; but according to present indications, we are satisfied that it will be disposed of, one way or the other, some day of the present week. That it would settle the unfortunate agitation which has alienated one im- portant section of the Union from another, there can be very little doubt; and there is every reason to be- lieve that it would be hailed with pleasure by the mo- derate portion of the community, and the reasonable | men of all parties. The principal opposition which it | has met with, from its inception to the present time, emanated from the free-soil and abolition fanatics of both parties. But for the demagogueism of such men as Hale and Seward, the difficulty would have been adjusted long since. j There is come ground for believing that it will | receive the sanction of the Senate. Strong doubts are entertained of its passing the House of Repre- | sentatives; and even if it should pass. the Senate, it | might be so mutilated and deformed as to be of no use. However, the refusal of that body to admit the delegate from New Mexico gives some assu- Fance that the members of the House are not so much opposed to it, but that they might endorse it. Mt will, however, meet with a furious opposition from certain persons in that quarter. That branch of Congress has its Sewards as well as the Senate— agitators, whose whole stock-in-trade is the sla- very question, who have reached position through agitation, and whose political existence would ter- minate with a peaceable and satisfactory adjust- ment of the difficulty. Such men will do all in their power to prevent its passage, and will exert themselves to the utmost to keep alive the diseus- sion, 80 as to make it bear on the presidential elec- tion in 1852. We shall soon know whether there is moderation and patriotism enough among our Tepresentatives, to counteract such factionism. ‘There is now greatand immediate necessity for the early settlement of the slavery question. The dis- pute concerning the boundary between New Mexico and Texas hes assumed an alarming and threaten- ing form. The Governor of the latter has, by pro- clamation, called an extraordinary meeting of the Legislature on the twelfth of next month, avowedly in reference to this question. The people of that State are highly incensed at the position assumed by the government, and are determined, aceording to fippearances, to proceed to extremities in case of any interference with what they term their rights. Although we do not see any great cause for alarm as yet, still we are afraid that if this mat- ter be not settled soon, new difficulties may arise which will prevent eny adjustment of it. The greatest calamity that could occur to the American republic, would be the shedding of blood in con- nection with this agitation. If a collision takes place, it will be in vain to talk of an adjustment afterwards. The Southern States would side with Texas, and one section of the Union would be arrayed in open hostility against the other, as well as ogainet the general government. | It is on this account that we are desirous of a quietous being put to the question The goverrment, too, will be virtually at an end soe, if itis notsettied. The fiscal year expired ‘on the first of this month, and the Secretary of the ‘Treasury has no power to pay out any money with- out the authority of Congress. ‘The appropriations for last year are exhausted, and unless the wants of the government be provided for immediately, its functions will cease. Neither house is in a state of mind to abandon the slavery question and take ‘up the matter of appropriations. It is conceded, ‘on all sides, that the slavery question must be set- tled before anything else is taken in hand. Unless iit be soon disposed of, the government will, there- fore, be virtually at an end. The week which commences this day will there- fore be an important one. The crisis hae been reached and we will soon know whether faction- iam and a false pholanthropy are to destroy the noblest system of government ever formed by man, or whether patriotiem and moderate councils will succeed in cementing the Union for ever. The horizon is dark, but we are not without hope. Tne Exection 1v Missourt.—The election in Missouri takes place in a few days, and the greatest excitement prevails throughout the State. Until the recent division in consequence of the course of Calenel Benton, the democrats have had every- thing their own wey, but now the prospect assumes a different aspect. The contest is now whig, Ben- top, and anti: Benton, and there is every probability that the whigs will be suceeseful in electing a ma- jority in the State Legislature, or that a conmbina- tion of whigs and erti-Bentonites will defeat the | fetarn of Col. Benton to the Senate of the United States. The whigs are mancuvring for their own | success, and will not avow for or against the di- | Viding question in the democratic ranks, bet y | are closely watched by both factions of the opposi tion, and can be successful only upon their own strength. The friends of Benton are working hard, bat frorw all the indications, there is hardly a possi- | ble hope for them | There are fifteen candidates for Congress —fo ir Renton, six anti-Benton, and five whig candidates. | In all the districts except the second, the partisans of Col.

The city of | St. Lovin ie the strongest hold of the adherents of Colone!

They now cry out, With insulting contumely, about “hire- ling wages,” and would make the whole world believe that, instead of standing upon a shifting and dangerous bog, that they are on the only terra firma of polities. The experience of ages—the history of labor for many centuries, has not a sin- gle truth, in their opinion, in favor of the establish- ed order of things. They cry aloud about the hardships to which laber 1s subjected, without pro- posing any remedy that has not been tried, in vain, over and over again—a remedy which this repub- lican country does not need, and which it never wil swallow. What is this remedy? Why, no- thing more than partnership-associations. Now, who does not know that, in France and England, this principle of association has been practically proved to be a baseless and futile illusion, daring | the progress of which the managers of every asso- ciation have become enriched at the expense of the Jaborers? In not one instance has there been known a broad beneficial result. The chartist associations of England have all been one com- mon history of one common fact, namely, that the agitators, in the shape of secretaries, treasurers, and presidents, have lived upgn the credulous vic- tims, who have entertained their plausible but yet absurd doctrines. There are some of these very treasurers, who have absconded with the funds of the English laborers, among us now, and what part they may take in these socialistic movements, fora chance of repeating their crimiaal conduct, the future will fully disclose. It is the common experience of man that any partnerships are dangerous. They are always troublesome—require intense watchfulness—are seldom so productive as individual skill, practically applied—cause many deferred hopes, upon which poor femilies cannot very satisfactorily feed—are liable to be involved in debt—are always separated from at a severe loss, and are never advocated as beneficial, upon any broad and general principle, except by designing and scheming men. So bane- ful have partnerships become—so liable are they to mischance and misfortune, that the State has been applied to for charters, in order to make them subject to special privileges. Hence it is that these associations have been looked upon with suspicion, as detrimental to the interests of labor. Had our railroad corporations been restricted to the use of American iron, instead of being supplied, by their charters, with facilities for its importation, we should not hear a single complaint with respect to the failure of the private iron establishments of chief to labor, by absorbing the spare capital of the | *°¢0™ farmer to feed the English laborer, who works for two shillings per day, and the money thus take from agriculture, in spite of all theories to the con- trary, cannot come back, as it would, if circulated among our ewn people. Yet we are asked to mul- tiply, not only these privileged partnerships, but associations of every name and nature. However, we doubt very seriously, if the attempt of ignorant visionaries to produce any permanent socialistic movement, will prevail. Our laborers— and we are all laborers, either with the head, the heart, the purse, or the hands—will never sur- render their intelligence to these political mounte- banks, these imitators of Fanny Wright, of Robert Owen, Mary Wollstonecraft, Godwin, and Fourier. The history of all our great men—of even the pre- sent incumbent of the Presidential chair—is a prac- tieal illustration of the soundness of our labor ior inside he system. ‘*Where there is a will there isa way,” in this country, above all others. Men can arise, by the application of labor and talent, to any station even the most exalted. The pursuit of wealth is the easiest of all oceupations—indepeadence can always be secured by any one who devotes his mind to the mere acquisition of money. Such a result invariably crowns ordinary applieation, com- bined with economy, pradence, and a practical adaptation of means to an end, If this is not enough to satisfy any man, who is not infected with the madness of foreign discontent, it will be in vain to find any consolation, even from the boasted associations, whose fate is as easily predicted as that of the appearance of the rising oun, or the ebbing of the tide. But one termination has characterized visionary labor schemes in Eu- rope and the United States. Here there are more reasons for their failure than exist in foreign coun- tries. Or, rather, here does not exist a single rea- son for the establishment of any combination, be- | yond that which may be necessary for the inter- change of thought on topics interesting to the cause of labor generally. Matured views on the subject aboued to such an extent, that we should do injustice tothe practical sagacity of the citizens of this country, by an attempt at a close argument upon points eo obviows to the intuition of mea. Our duty lies in another path. [tis bounded by other considerations. We are to seek the cause of the present attempt to array folly and prejudice against | the capitalist or employer. Believing that labor moves capital, and not the old saw that capital moves labor, we have faith in the power of diffi- culties, in this country, to right themselves. There may be causes why any given trade may suffer from a depression of pri@es, beyond the forced cure of men. a | State of Maine, who, Ten thousand tailors suddenly landed in | sequence of drought, but that eceurred before the grain began to form, and should the month of Avgust prove favorable, a greater amount of corn will be raised than ever before known. creps suffered considerably which fell inthe course of the late gale, which swept from Cape Fear to the Northern Lakes, but that is, comparatively, small portion of the great territory devoted to agri- culture. ‘The cotton and sugar crops suffered greutly in consequence of the late spring, and the many over- flows to fwhich it has been subjected, Indeed, | from all we can gather, it is probable that both these creps will fall tar below the average, and it is possible they may be even below those of last year. In Texas ulone have those crops escaped the disaster to which in the other Southern States they have been subjected. A large portion of the | most productive lands in that State have this year been devoted to the production of sugar eane, and it is probable that Texas will be one of the princi- pal States in the production of sugar. Arnivat or Genera Par Ta another part of the paper we give a full biographical outline of the life of General Paez, whose services in South Ame- tica have made him one of the most distinguished men of his time. He will probably visit Staten Island to-day, and from this retreat will enter the city under the welcome of the municipal authori- ties and the public. The memoir furnished by us will ke read with great interest, and will prepare he people to make such a demonstration in behalf of this gallant but unfortunate man, as will do honor to him and credit to the: ves. Branecn Mixt ty New Yorx.—If the slavery question were settled in Washington, we have no doubt that the bill establishing a branch mint in New York would be triumphantly carried. It stands very well at present, but nothing will be done till patriotism prevails over fanaticism in Con- gress. Police Intelligence. THE HOTEL THIEVES AT SARATOGA. In alluding the other day to the hotel rogues, George Tish and Bill Jackson, arrested at the United States Hotel, Saratoga, we referred to a warrant having been iseued here for their arrest, and an officer despatched to Saratoga, with the hope of procuring their release irom the jail, on # mere charge of suspicion, alleged to exist here against them.

Ovrkace on Boann 4 Srrampoat.—As the steamboat ing Coney Island, on Thursday afternoon, at half-past six o'clock, Mr. Edward M.

The Repubite of Ecuador, We translate for the Herald, from the El Repub- ticano, of Caracas, the annexed political article :— Civil war again troubles this republic. The liberals, who had @ great majority in the Congress, could not unite themselves for the election of a President of State, because the oligarchists suc- ceeded in gaining several members of the liberal party to the cause of their candidate. The consti- ution says that two-thirds of the votes of Congress are necessary for the election; and, as neither of the two candidates obtained the said majority, the Congress closed the session without giving any President to the republic. The mandate fell thas to the Vice President, who changed the personel of the administration, and continued to govern with the oligarchists. ‘The liberals, resenting such trea- son, began to exclaim that the administration of the Vice Eviees binder ee gg od and ended will ets. Guayaquil pronounced itself against the administration of Seflor Ascasubi. The garrison of Guayaquil began this revolution- ary act, in which the people took a part some days alter. ‘This movement offered a peculiar phenome- non. It was headed by the two opinions, represent- ing the two candidates for the Presidency. soon as the news of the revolution in Guaya- quil Was known in Quito, the oligarchists prepared themselves to support the chief of the admiuistra- tion, who had rest them to power; but Seor Ascusubi, seeing that public opinion was not in his favor, resigned his mandate to the hands of the President of the Senate. In order to give better details of this fact, we publish a part of a letter, written in Quito, on the 12th of Mareh:— “On Tuesday, at 7 o’clock, P. M., while I was occupied to write the last events of Guayaquil, and their consequences in this city and in this govern- ment, an event happened which [ must communi- cate to you.

It is the easiest thing in the world to borrow money on the bypotheeation of fancy stocks, and there is hardly @ bank im the street but that has large lots of these securities on which they have made loans. All this is very well, eo long as the market continues easy ; but the first turn im the serews would change the whole complexion «f things, and force out large quan- tities of stock. How much longer money ts to bear abundant as it bas been for sometime past, is a question pretty dificult to answer; but the change may take plece much sooner than fs generally anticipated. Indications point strongly to a strin- gency before the close of the fall trade, and the pro- bability te that it will continue throughout the win- ter and spring. Itt» at times impossible to account for these su iden changes in the money market, bat | the best indication of such a change shéuld be the signal tor all to coutract their operations, and prepare themselves for emergeney. It is now nearly two years epee ti erket has been #0 sbandantly eup- plied with capital, and the rates of interest have ruled-low, during whieh time public and privnte cre- dite have become very much expanded, and a large benk expansion fs necessary to supply the demand. In the event of the bankas agreeing on s contraction, | the commeretal classes would be seriously embarrassed in their movments, and holders of fancy stocks cut short in their ealeviations of prolits.
