AREAIRs Ar WASHINGTON.


The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore Bum
under date OF August 10th, 1850, says:
Our condition is this There is majority in the House
for every bill which has been sent down from the
for the whole omnibus in detail but some dsus on The
part uf the Democrats in regard TO the Administrator ana
the action Of the Wings have no hesitation ~ saying
that these apprehensious entirely unouueu Each Oil
which has down from the Senate, VIZ Inc Texas
boundary, Utah, New Mexico, and California, IS now
slammed as an administration measure, recommended by
MIR Webster and feel authorized to say that each Wing
voting su,nst il will be treated hostile 10 the admins
tratO1 and in fact no Wing at all but disoganizer
Ther. is but one Wing party there but Demo
cratic party the seceders acdniss Seward and his
Gang Of followers are wreckers among the naVigatOs
of the Wing party as the WmOts the Preston Kings, the
Durkees &c. pirates IN the ranks Of the Delnoc
Iacy and whether the Wing party or the Democratic par
~ is in power the free soil aconsls will be looked upon
az traltorous rebels not entitled 10 quarters.
The administration is most undoubtedly IN earnes ana
sincere and Gov. Seward is, dolb aeaa man; ne
will in short time be political Pope without cnurch'
The Northern Democrats have for some te P"S'
cd the reeso faction and by that means preserved The M
tegry Of their party. President '"''iel Is "o Wise
man to profit by the example =
whoever opposes the Texan boundary opposes California
whoever ses the Territorial Bill for New Mexico OPP
masses California aud whoever opposes Utah is opposed to
C,rernia also L here is no settlement ill all these bills,
and unlive slave bill 10 boot, pass Congress. California
cannot and ought not TO IN without the other bills pas
sine the House likewise.
The Administration cannot back out gifts engagements.
II is too wise and honest TO rely for success On
cheating u would be cheating the South, and the hoder-
ate men of the South here in Congress- to admit California
nnd sbu, out New Mexico and Utah and it would over
vbeIm the Senate with national disgrace But the Admin
isation means TO DO such thing The consequences OF
such settlement would be bad if that unspeakeable
bumbc the Wilmot Proviso had passed both Houses The
Wjlmo," answers very well for smalbeer politicians,
whose patriotism is bounded by limits Of their respective
Congressional districts but let this question be settled and
the plumy acionsts will be repudaed at home, and the
hunbup will be spontaneously exploded
Butt repeat it, there mustb be some mutual trust and re-
lance auo6r the friends ofcompomlse and peace or The
work 50 happily commenced may yet meet with serious OBJ
stoces in the way It's completion. We must have aith
10 remove .o,utfaS- opposition of those factions
Nth and South which, under the specious plea radical
ism threatens the overthrow OF laws and Institutions
Let us practise the three great christian yrtues-hope faith
and charyuot only each other but even towards South
Carolina (,he rest Of mauknd) y.
ST. hear that important changes are 10 be made IN
the heads Of Bureaus in the Navy Department. Some Of
the old salts and rotten tmbers to make for
ones more suitable to the age and spirit of improvement
Some of the old salts in the Departments have kept every
imprvement in the Navy in pickle. Messrs Nckennor
and Conrad were in to day, and have epered uPor
the duties of their respective Offices.
