WASHINGTON. Nov. 81. 1850.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27, 1850
DEAR SIR On the appearance of this in
your widely circulated and valuable paper, in
the centre Of the good cold Dominion," the
Congress of the U. States will have once more
convened. will not say, as most writers, that
they meet Efor good or evil TO the country" |
believe that the crisis is past in which the dis
unionists North OF South will have it In their
power to do injury to the Union, or to create OPP
position to the compromises of the Constitution
that received the sanction Of our venerable ia
theirs of revolutionary memory. There can be
no question but that The Fugitive Slave Law will
be faithfully executed and that slaves, properly
Identified, will be certainly and surely surren-
derett 10 their proper owners. Why should they
not be : The law, as passed by Congress, is
but repetition Of the 4th Article Of the 81 Sec
ton Of the Constitution Of the u. States and
why should we expect that that Constitutional
compact will not be faithfully carried into efect7
We certainly expect This 10 be done. If q few
abolition fanatics iail at and decry lis proyis-
ions, thai can do no harm, SO long as they keep
al respectable distance from Mason and Dix
on's line. Il they venture nearer, then it will
be time to make ara ngements to receive the
rogoisl. rascals. A man that would steal ne
gro would commit murder therefore, man
that would be accessory to the fact, is no better
than the murderer, and, consequently, an sboli-
ZIONIST is a felon, and should be dealt with as the
laws and the Constitution provide.
MIR WEBSTER has returned to Washington !:
Tie cabinel is, therefore, full, Mr.. CGlrTENDEN
having arrived from Kentucky few days ago
with his family. The members Of the cabinet
are very bnsy, preparing their Reports for Con.
gress. The Secretary OF the Treasury, report
says will ass, Congress 70, a loan. do not be-
lieye he viii. The prosperity of cur revenue is
unexanped, and why should en- additional
lean, in time Of peace, te required, when it was
bat moderately resored to, il time Of war. The
Secretary that Virginia has furnished the cabi
ret IS one Of The most industrious and indefati-
gable men that has ever been in Washington.
His duties are asduous in the extreme, but there
is no impeding him in the despatch OF the pub
lie business. Unlike most gentlemen who have
filed high and exalted stations, Mr.. STUART
dsposes Of the public business before faslliona-
BE and idle calls are suGerea to engfoss bis at
enlion. This is as it should be, and We hope
other members Of the cabinet will, at least, fol-
low his example, In this particular.
What do vow lhuk Do not be alarmed, for
the TACT has occurred: har. CuRwIN has cen
GFrned the appointment Of a.so Democrats to Of
Gce, al heavy salaries.
agn pleased 10 see from partial returns Of the
censas Of Virginia, that the good Old Common
wealth is not behind her sister States in the IN
crease Of her population and wealth. She has
resources, equal, ifnot superior, to any State III
the Union, and al we want is lite infusion
Of personal and State enterprise ameng our peo-
pie then wa Iaay expect Virginia 10 rise from
her long plostraion, and to see her amend the
policy Of her presided Legislation. We expect
the ueW constitution W il i.ifuse more life into
the body polite; aud that tie State will have
put Oh few foFsu before the decade Of 1860.
Congress gentlemen are coming in apace-
Tomorrow being Thanksgiving day. we ex-
poct goodly number in the Metropolis 10 join
