OLYMPIC, Brosdway—Fetiows’ New Yor Erworian Ovxna Taevrr. “New York, Wednesday, August Some little progress was made by the House of Representatives, yesterday, in the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, but not a great deal, and the probability is that that measure will hang on for some days yet. It may be disposed of to- day or to-morrow; but it ubtful if it will be passed before Friday or Saturday. ‘The Senate were engaged the whole of yester- day in debating the Fugitive Slave bill. Mr. Ma- son offered a very important amendment, which was adopted, providing for the establishment of a board of three commissioners in each county, whose duty it will be to hear, and decide upon, all questions connected with fugitive slaves, their de- cision to be final, and the United States Marshals ‘of the district to be empowered to carry them into eflect. A further provision in the amendment pro- vides that in certain cases the value of the fugitive slave is tobe paid to the owner by the United Siates government. Mr. Underwood, however, afterwards gave notice of his intention to introduce an amendment, in the shape of a substitute, for the whole bill. There is no likelihood that this sub- ject will be dispoved of immediately. It is as suming an important shape, and promises to evoke a good deal of discussion before it is settled. ‘That it will pags, however, there seems to be no doubt, at present, at all events. Arvival of the Steamship Europa at Fig@i- fax—One Week Later from Europe. The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax on Monday evening last, but, from some cause or other, we did not receive our despatches until yes- terday. A synopsis of the news will be found in another eolumn. ‘There is no important featare connected with this intelligenee. Nochange had taken place in the porition of affairs between Denmark and Schleswig-Holetein. According te the accounts, the Duchies are determined to hold out, and will egain try the fortune of war. It was supposed that England end Russia would soon interfere, in case the dispute be not brought to an issue soon. It appears that two hundred German officers have joined the ranks of the Schleswig-Holsteins. This shows the deep interest which some of the German States take ia the contest. No doubt another en- gagement will soon teke place between the hostile armier, if uch an event has not oceurred before this. The crops, it seers, are retarted in England, by a continuance of wet weather, and there is no doubt t the potato blight has shown itself in several coun in Ireland, especially towards the south. The celebrated Gorham case has been finally disposed of, and, although our accounts do not mention the fect, it is likely that the reverend gentlemen has been inducted in the vicarage which wos presented m by the crowa. As a matter of course, this will wider the breach in the English Chareh establishment, and, perhaps, lead to some important results.

In view of the importance of the next election in this State, we perceive that several of the influen- tial whig organg, here and elsewhere, are exerting themselves to consolidate the party, eo that it may prevent en unbrokem from when the contest takes place. They allude, indirectly, to the spirit of fac- tion and dictation whieh has eo long been exhibited by a certain clique in Albany, without maming it, and to imp.ectieable th es set forth and advo- cated under the name of progress, by one of the whig journals in this city. Every thing, they say with great truth, that tends to divide he party, should be supressed, and all points of difference should be adjusted, so that ihe whig party may be able to meet the demoerets on terms of equality, as regards union, in the next election In taking this course, the avhig journals, while they acknowledge the existeneeof faetioniam and cliqueiem witha their lines, show a good deal of senae in recommending a settlement of the differ- ences which exist. Dut we apprehend it will not be an-casy matter to heal the wounds which have been inflicted oo the whig party, in this as wek as in othee States, by euch nr ae Seward, Thurlow Weed acvi Horace Greeley.

Look at the whole of his course since he got a seat in the Senate, on the slavery question— his bitter and unrelenting opposition to the Com- promise bill, and to the rights of the Southern States, under the constitution—his voting, in com- pany with Hale and other abolitionists, and his successful eflerts in preventing an adjustment of the slavery question. Then let us tum to | the philosopher of the Tribune, and the policy which he has adopted since the acquisition of the new territory, not only in regard to the slavery question, but to the systematic and | incessant efforts which he has made to introduce | into the United States the absurd and ridiculous | notions of the Fourierites and socialists of France and Germany, and his endeavoring to erect, in lieu | of the existing harmonious fabric of society, a state of anarchy and confusion dreadful to contemplate. These, and other isms, he has endeavored to at. tach to the whig platform of principles. At this moment, he is using what influence he possesses to reconstruct our present system of free education, £@ as to deprive the youths of the State of all bene- fits arising from religious instractions, thereby trying to convert our places of education into in- fidel seminaries. The object of this movement is plain. It is to prevent the principles of Christianity being imprinted on the minds of our children, in order that they may be susceptible to the ridicu- lous teachings of the clique of native and foreign socialsts by whom he is surrounded, and who con- | verted him to their way of thinking on such | matters. 1: is for the wnig party to say whether | they will be identified with such a movement. | Itis useless to deny that the .whig party here | and in other States, has suffered materially by the influences to which we have adverted, and that it is likely to be still further prejudiced throughout | the republic. They must be suppressed or counter- | acted, before the whigs can become an undivided party. The newspapers in the interest of that party may recommend union as much as they please— their orators may advocate union until they be- come hoarse—but there will not be, and cannot be, union, until the influence of the Seward clique, and that of the Weeds and Greeleys, and orher disorganizers, isimites, and factionists, shall have been discharged. They must under- take the task of doieg so before the party can be completely united. It is the boast of the whigs | that they are the conservative party; but, we would ask, where is the conservatism in declaring that there isa higher law than the constitution,—that property is robbery,—that the present fabric of soci- ety ought to be upeet, and socialism planted in the stead, or that religious education ought to be ba- nished from our free schools? And yet such doc- trines are openly avowed and advocated by the par- ties to whom we have referred, and all of whom eepire to be lights and leadersof the whig party in the State of New York. Let the conservative whig journals, therefore, lay the axe to the root of the tree of disunion. There will be no use in cutting off the brapches. They must commence at the foundation, and cast out from among them the dis- organizers who are endeavoring to rule and direct the party for their own purposes and their own benefit. Tuer Stavery Agitation anp Puniic Oprniox.— If the public opinion in the United States were pro- perly canvassed, we are satisfied that nine-tenths of our adult population, North, South, East, and West, are in favor of an immediate and final settle- ment of the slavery agitation, on the basis proposed by the Senate, and the bills passed by that body, and which are now before the House of Represen- tatives awaiting their action, Notwithstanding that this state of public opinion cannot but be well known to the members of the House of Represen- tatives, we see them from day to day, idling away their time, and indulging in all kinds of factionism, without any apparent desire to arrive at any con- clusion, and without any intention ostensibly of doing so. This is really too bad. We are posi tively beginning to lose all patience, and almost to despair of the republic. 1s there no way by which House of Representatives? 1s there no method by which the members can be brought to a sense of gentlemen are engaged in endeavors to defeat the passage of those bills, public meetings ought to be held in all the large cities, composed of all parties, from which should emanate a voice thet woull carry terror to the hearts of all factionists. The | House of Repregentatives are trifling with the feel- | ings of the people, as well as with the best interests of the country, in their movements in reference to the great and exciting question of the day. Let them be awakened to a proper sense of their duty and informed, in a peremptory and unmistakeable voice, that they hold their places, not to foment schemes for dissolving the Union, but to carry into effect the will of the people, who, in an unfor- tunate hour, selected them to do 80.

THE APPROPRIATMN BILL IN THE HOUSE, &c., &., we. THIRTY-FIRST CONGR FIRST 6ESSION. Senate, BY MORSE’S MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. Wasnixcton, August 20, 1850. THE POGITIVE SLAVE BILL, After the consideration of the morning business, the fugitive slave bill was again taken up, the quea- tion being upon Mr. Mason’s amendment, which was adopted without @ division. This amendment pro- vides, in effect, that three commissioners shall be ap- pointed in each county by the federal Judge of the several judicial distriets, who shall hear and deter- mine in «fair manner, every case of am alleged fugi- tive from slavery. The deposition or affidavit of the owner isto be certified before some judicial officer in the State from whieh the slave may have fled, and proof of the identity of the person claimed to be deem. ed sufficient proof to warraut the delivery of the fugi- tive to the claimant, who shall be eubjeet to no fur. ther molestation in the conveyance of his slave bask to the place trom which he had fled, the decision of the commissioner being final, The marshal and his deputies are directed to execute the warrants issued by these commissioners, and a penalty of six months imprisonment, or @ fine of one thousand dollars, is im- [ag upon those who shall aid in the escape of asiave om the claimant. It also provides that if the slave is rescued from the claimant after being deliv into his hands by the commissioner, his or her s! Pee be paid for out of the treasury of the United ates. Mr, Paarr moved further to amend the bill by adding still more stringent provisiens for the payment, by the United States, of the value of escaped slaves who shall not be delivered up to the claimant by the officers whose duty it is made to execute this law. Mr. Pratt supported his amendment at considerable length, e! ing bis observations with # dissertation upoa the im- propriety and impracticability of abolishing slavery throughout the Union, and some strictures upon @ speech delivered in Ohio sometime since by an indi- vidual whom he Gesignated as the higher law Sena- tor. . Mr. Dayton opposed the amendment. He would like to get rid of this agitation by making it a question of dollars and cents merely, but it must be done in @ legal and coustitutional way. The principle involved in the it was one which, if adopted, results. Mr. Bancer advocated the amendment. If the fede- ral government failed to perform its constitutional du- tr, it was but just that the United States make good to the owner of the slave his or her value. Mr. Burzexr contended that the federal government should not be made the grand underwriter of fugitive slavee. It was the duty ef the States to execute the constitutional provision in qi ion. After some further debate, Mr. Unperwoon gave notice of an amendment in the form of « substitute for the entire bill, which was or- dered to be printed. ‘The Senate thea adjourned. House of Representatives. BY BAIN’S ELECTRO-MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. ‘Wasnixcrox, August 20, 1850. Mr. Tavunsrox, by unanimous consent, presented o memorial trom the territorial Legislature of Oregon, praying donations of public lands, and moved to refer it to the Committee on Territories. Mr, Thomrso, of Miss., said that » few days azo the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union de- cided that a delegate from # territory had no right to make a motion. He, however, differed from this deei- tion, but raised the point whether the delegate could move to refer. ‘The Srxaver gave his reasons at length, aud over- ruled the t of order. Messrs. Beat and Duee contended that delegates were not members of the House, and, consequently, cennot exercise the privileges of members. He has only the right to debate.
