LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. III, 1850.
Legixctfve Proceediwgs-Afovi~g the Capital, &C.
The Legislature in session at Frankfort are now
discussing the expediency of removing the seat Of
government to Louisville, the city councils Of the
latter city having offered to provide a suitable
building for capitol, in the event of such change
being determined upon. The people throughout
the State, except those who reside in the county in
which Frankfort is situated, have expressed them
selves strongly in favor of the movement, and there
can be no doubt that the seat Of government will
eventually be located at Louisville. When il is
remembered that Frankfort is town of inferior
importance, destitvte of proper accommodations for
the meetings of the Legislature, and BESIDES being
announcement OF access, II is not at all surprising
that the citizens Of Kentucky should give preference
to Louisville. Frankfort became the seat of GO
vernment by the merest accident. Louisville was
originally designed for this purpose. Many years
ago, large and commodious building was erected
al tins place, at an expense OF over hall million of
for the capitol. That noble edhce will yet witness
the assembling of the Legislature within its walls
Louisville, the great interior city of the United
States, will be known and honored as the seat of
government.
The Gait House, 90 long and favoraby known
to travellers one of the best kept hotels in the
Union, has been leased to Bishop for q term of
years. at the rate of 5000 per annum. Its late
proprietor, Major Throckmorton il is said, has real
lied handsome fortune
Louisville is rapidly improving; business of all
kinds is prosperous, and our manufactures are in
thriving condition. 1t is confidently expected that
the census will report in the city and envrons po-
pulation of over 40 0O0-a great increase since l8i0
when the number of inhabitants did not exceed
&c. 900.
The Masonic Hall will be completed in the spring
of 1851; II is TO be built in the most substantial
manner. The Mozart Saloon is to be ready by the
LIST Of January, and in time for the reception of
Jenny Lind.
The various pork establishments are in full opera
ton. The number of hogs slaughtered in this city

As the cabinet organ has frequently insnuaed that we
had spies in the departments and obtained informa-
ton OF the operations of the administration and its
bers through the eachey and unaithfuness OF clerks
employed by the government, which nsnuaions and
charges have been made the pretext for recommending
sweeping prescription, we will now take occasion
to say that all such insinuatons utterly without oun.

never obtained, any information from any clerk EN-.

The Boston Atlas Processes unbounded respect for Mr.
Webster but differs with him entirely upon the topics Of
his celebrated speech. Let the impartial reader decide
between them, when we produce the following issue
The Atlas contends in the face OF the Massachusetts, SEN
aor against the admission Of four slave States to
be made out OF Texas. We believe that it lies with Con-
gress, not Texas, to admit States" All that Mr..
Webster contends for is TO carry out in good faith the
solemn compact between the two republics Congress,
speaking in the Of the United States offered to adj
nit Texas upon certain conditions specified IN their annex.

upon that basis came into the Union Now IL the Boston
