ALBANY, Jan. s, 1851.
The greatest portion the of House
last evening taken up in buncombe on the crisis.
Union saving to be the order Of the day; but
fortunately country appears TO be the nevita
De tendency OF nearly all of the resolutions. There is
general itching opportunity smell gunpowder
but imagine that those who the most active III that
direction will the that will shoulder their muskets
should the federal government order war The national
crisis is the general theme OF conversation amongst all
classes every has project to avert the storm
that threatens destroy the prosperity of the coun
try that nation whose examples OF liberty Of
speech conscience have caused the Car of Russia to
be mercfu sers changed the government of Eng
land given to the inhabitants Of the far famed Italy the
moral strength to drive from the throne the tyrannica
BoGbons. and forced Napoleon to grant concessions
TO the press and people of France that have asonhed
the world. All of this and much moro has been accom-
plished by moral influence nation and now that
the fanatics ia both sections have the seed Of dis
union from the pulpit and the stump until
are brought to the verge Of civil war, with all its
horrors, they fast driving us into the position
that will no. only destroy influence upon other
nations of the world, but in measure make the great
experiment Of the nineteenth century failure Those
that have gathered busy taking what they
shall do, and everything else is forced into the back
ground by the excitement this question; but unor
tlatey for tho future welfare Of our country, but
handful of those in power comprehend the true
position that in The ship of state is sailing in
waters which they know nothing about and bent upon
their individual IDEAS each persists having his
opinion adopted tho compass for the managers Of the
vessel Notwithstanding shpwreck is TO follow The
prospects Of compromise being recommended hourly
diminishing, and unless friend of the Union and
constitution buckle his lead the responding
Union forces at once there hope that any compro
mise however small viii receive the sanction OF the
Legislature. The opponents TO Robnsons resolutions
working like beavers to prevent their passage and
from present indications there but little hope There
arc too many men here imbued with and
csms Of Greeley to allow anything practical FOR the rehef
Of the country be adopted by those who have been
chosen BY the people as their lawmakers.
The republicans who favor the resolutions of Robin
nc say that their only hope for their passage is in
1'e tactics of Weed, whose return they anxiously
booking for His influence will be thrown in favor OF the
ssoluons and is 70 be hoped that be will succeed in
Influencing enough republicans to vote for the resolutions
who democratic vote, will their passage
his the only hope left and that sorry 70 say, is
growing weaker every day.
The action Of the members the resolutions last
evening would indicate that there is disposition
X 10 make all the necessary noise and tumult
that attend settlement OF our national difficulties
without accomplishing anything practical This would
Indicate that there Is pressure from their constituents
hold the olive branch, and il is their intention to
comply with that demand by making show Of concdia
kion without any substance.
