ft » Sept. 1, 1850, e in Exposition of the ‘as it stands before the Howse— Vicw of the Question. A has passed—spring has come and | gone—the butterflies of fashion have fluttered out | their season at the Springs—young people have got married and had a baby, since the assembling here in December, and still the House hangs fire. What with the rant of disunion and the cant of abolition—what with the fire-eaters and the dough- facee—the plotters for the Presidency and the plot- ters of revolt— what wiih the endless stupidities and clap-trap for Buncombe, the House is still upon the threshhold of business. Between the Wilmot proviso and the bill of ten millions to Texas, they were tied up yesterday in sucha web of perplexities that they gravely re- solved to adjourn over to Monday, and to spend the Sabbath upon the subject, in a brown study. Motion of Mr. Root to recommit the bill, with instructions to stick in the proviso, in order to “bring up the dough faces to the bull-ring,” brongiat them all up stendiag, and the dose was too strong for pesureay's digestion. We apprehend there is but little prospect of the Texas bill without emendmeat. x | The South are oppoved to the cession of Texas terri to the free coilers of New Mexico, | The kee soilers are opposed to paying Texas ten millions for voi! which they believe belougs already to the United States. | Some over wise democrats have scruples against the bill, because it is on administration measure. — | Some Northern whigs can’t swallow it, because it dees not cover an actual surrender of the undis- puted soul of Texas, sufficient to palliate the ten millions. Reduce the payment, or enlarge the cession to New Mexico, end they wiil go it. Again, some of the South desire to hitch on the terntories in order to keep off the proviso; andthe free soilers are agreeable to the junction, in order to kill off the Texas indemnity by means of the proviso, Such are the difliculties, and such the snarl in which the House adjourned on Saturday. | ‘The friends of the indemnity bill, however, are determined to ap; ‘he screws of the previons ques- tion, if they can J as the results of to-morrow’s struggle will be known toyou by telegraph, we | forbear further speculation. j It is manifest, however, that a struggle is im- | pending upon the Texas bill, which will go tar to | decide the issue upon all the rest, for the opposition | to Texas involves the admission of California. Relying, to some extent, upon the confidence of , the moderadoes, let us assume that the Texas and | the Territorial bi will pass substantially as they | left the Senate—the issue comes upon California. That is the test question, tt is the test of Mr. Calhoun, the test ot the Nashville Ceavention, the test of the Legis!sture of Georgia. | Can the bill be passed? | Jf there is anything upon which the North ap- ears to be resolved, it is upon the passage of that Mi, “They have the majority, ‘They kave the question of time in their hands.

The guerilla system is well enough in defence ; but it is a poor way of con- ducting an offensive cumpaign. To build up an administration, it must have system, discipline, and a regular plan of operations. r. Clay made a movement to get up the bill to- day, for the abolition of the slave trade in this Dis- trict. It was superseded by an executive session, and the confirmation, after a long debate, of Mi Ewbank, Commicsioner of the Patent Office. ‘The extreme South look upon thig slave trade bill as an individual attack upon slavery in the Stat and we understand that, with the view of soothing the South as fur as available, certain friends of an adjustment have de Mr. Clay to let the bill remain upon the table ; but we further understand that he is determined to pin the dis- unionists to the wall, satisfied that they will ulti- mately surrender. ‘ Weexpect an exciting debate upon this slave trade bill, if it should be taken up, and as one of the series of the measures of his plan of compro- mise, Mr. C) in good faith, is bound to insist upon its consideration. Finally, we are still in the fog—we have, what is worse, stuck fast upon a sand bar; the crew is mutinous, and all the lieutenants and middies are captalee, there being in the House no captain aboard. Wasuineton, Sept. 2, 1850. Lewis Postponed—Ewbank Confirmed—Foote’s Btg Heart Did It—The Howse Doing a Good Act— Bayly and Sweetzer Affair Settled—Other Mat- ters. ‘The nomination of Mr. Collector Lewis, of Phila- delphia, was taken up in executive session, by the Senate, to dey, and postponed until Monday next. Mr. Ewbank’s nomination was then taken up, and. is understood, confirmed, notwithstanding the very heavy and well sustained charges against his official conduct, which were before the Senate. itis reported that the big heart of Senator Foote was appealed to, and that he could not resist the appeal, although he had denounced Mr. Ewbank— made a long speech against him and his report on fishes’ tails and swallows’ tails—and declared to every body that he would be rejected sky high, sky high, Mr. Foote may go against Seward- ism, and Seward himself, and Seward’s creatures, and denounce and ridicule them, eloquently and vehemently—but let his big, capacious heart, of ge- nerous impulses, be appealed to in the matter, and presto! change! he gives in, and, with a beaming countenance, turns to the right about face. In this way, doubtless, has he been induced to yield his assent to Mr. Ewbank’s confirmation. Strange in- flueneee have been laboriously at work to bring about this most unexpected and most unpopular consummation. ‘The evil that men do survives them. The end of this business is not. When, last week, the Committee on Patents reported unanimously against the nomination of Mr. Ew- bank, everybody declared that he would be re- jected—that there was no hope for him. And yet he is confirmed. When will wonders cease ? The Senate, in open session, worked for a while upen the Land Bounty bill from the House, and added amendments thereto, It was ordered to a third reading. The House did one meritorious act—resolved b: adecided vote to make the Texas Boundary bi the special order every day at twelve o'clock, uatil disposed ¢ This clearly indicates that the ma- jority is willing to do something.

OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. Axoanr, Sept, 3, 1850, The great annual cattle show and fair at Albany commmenced to-day, and will continue till Saturday’ near the Bull's Head, onthe Troy road. During the threatening, there was little or no stir exhibited on the grounds. The grounds themevlves were extremely Muddy, and rendered almost impregnable by the heavy showers of ruim which fell during the night and im the morning. Towards mid-day, however, the bea- ‘vems began to clear up, and everything presented a livelier appearance, Droves of cattle from every quar- ter were seen to enter the show grounds; flooks of sheep and swine were gradually pouring in from direction, and visiters became more frequi bustle in the erection of tents, the bellowing of the bulls, and the neighing of the stallions, gave now some animation to the scene. Everywhere tents, loaded with every borane of refreshments, started into being, as it by the tptiuence of magic; je earts, with fruit of ev description, took up their stand on various parts of the show grounds, To-day was entirely devoted to entries and arranging of animals and articles for the exhibition, and on that aceount none were permitted to pass into the show grounds except on business, in order that the place might not be overcrowded. To.morrow is the day pointed for the distribution of the premiums, on which occasion every visiter will be admitted to witness the exhibition On taking a stroll over the pase, during the course of the atternoon, we found that the collection of cattle and horses was almost complete, and of an ‘lient quality. The dairy and floral halls were somewhat be- hindband. The coliection of sheep and swine was also not very extensive at that time. In the mechanics’ hall, which was the most complete of all the other de- artments, we noticed a screw-tu:ning machine, by rehibald A. Powell, Syracuse; an improved sliding cut-off valve, by Winnie, Albany, N. Y.; a morticing machine, moved by steam r, by W. J. Tueker, Reckford, [) ,and ® portable steam engine for farm- ing, machinery, and for printing, by Hoard & Bradford, Watertown, N.Y.

The all-engrossing theme here at present, is the coming State fair, for which unprecedented efforts are making, so as to render it more attractive than ever before. The ground chosen by the committee as the site of the fair, has been selected with great taste, as well as correct judgement, and sufficiently elevated as to command a view of the surrounding scenery, so beautifully diversified with hills, val- leys, end water, Already there has been received a large variety of agricultural instrumeats, and it is contidently expected that this department of the fair will de more than neually interesting. Xt in importance is the contemplated opening of the North American Indian Gallery, by Stanley & Dickerman, in this city; ing completed their arrangements, they will open about the ume of the State fair. This exhibition will be ope of the most attractive features of the season. These portraits, some 150 in number, besides land scapes, are not only beautiful as’ specimeas of artistic skill, but are doubly valuable as being un- doubted portraits of the principal men and chiefs of at least fifty different tribes in the Southwest, be- wees the Mississippi and the Pacilie, presenting to the eye a familiar Tikeness of these sons of the forest, who are fast glieappearing before the march of civilization. ‘This collection of paintings was made by Mr. Stanley during the past eight years, the whole of which time he passed amongst these uptutored savages. Ie also accompanied General Kearney on his overland route to Califoraia, as the draughtsman of that expedition, and was present at wll the battles fought on that route. No one who intends to be present at the State fair, can consider he has done aself justice without seeing this gallery of portraits. ‘he object of the fair is to encourage the arts and sciences; and what can be more fitting on such an occasion, than to patron- ise native art, and encourage others to emulate the zeal and perseverance, amid teil, privations aad danger, that has created this splendid exhibition? ‘The weather continues to be delightful, aad busi+ ness unusually good for the reason.
