THE NEW COMPROMISE, AND TIE RETREAT.
| The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday, quotes as FOL.
lows from the Philadelphia Spirit OF the Times, and
the Inquirer of the city:
Clay inimaed in The Senate, Friday that he would
soon retire from that body .'-PM. Spirit # ne Times
Eu thrown that Mr. Clay will not retire,
10 mend fences until he has thrown another bomle
into public council The Inquire. 9" esaay
promise relation TO the Tariff and that IN all prna-
hly Clay will i'll The matter in the course Of few
DAYS The plan is the duties which, the h Of June
will be 10 cent the existing law 80 cent Ih
qnse revenue the time new impulse Of
confidence manufactures Mr. Clay viii probably make
great Ibis subject before he leaves the Senate
The Richmond Enquirer then remarks thus:
scre Mr. Clay in the glorious attitude of fostins
30 per cent Sou for The purpose of contributing 10
relieve the vacuum he created the session by the
distribution proceeds Of the public lands most wise
scal,ers with the Mr. Clay that this
and tuona measure which he passed when
The Treasury be carried when there not
the e1clequer We must supply The deficiency either
by loansa species Of nancerne, which
would disgrace any man IN The management OF his own private
concerns" ,,o
dcum of information upon the two points above stated
in the Philadelphia papers-the retreat and the new
compromise. On the first point, We can say that Mr.
Clay has informed his nmates that he will retire
from the Senate early in April next; and on the Sc
cond point, say that Mr. Clay has informed the
Senate that he has plan maturing, which he cx-
poets to settle all the financial difficulties of the
try and that he expects TO have il out in few days
This was said while opening the doors after the Execu-
tive session of Friday, and points to something's the cha
racter of which must be judged OF by the sccresy with
which it is conducted. 1t is all deep secret, and pro-
badly very few Senators admitted TO the conclave
in which the details and principles OF the compro
mise are fixed upon Who are the parties 10 II, we know
not and only guess and, 50 tar as that goes The
public guess well as We can. we say nothing,
therefore, the parties 10 this new compromise but
there is one thing about which must say something,
ami The country must say something otherwise there
is an end oil legislation anu Inc VIII OF one man De-
comes law through the instrmcnality Of midnight
cuseS tied down support what he imposes upon them!
Thus il was AT the extra session All Legislation was
, conducted by one man out 81 doors. He fixed every
thing TO suit himscli-tied down his followers sup
port the House what he dictated in caucus and thus
annihilaed the legislative faculties Of Congress, and
made of the two Houses old French Parliament
for the registration Of edics Thus it was at the Extra
Session thus ii is 10 be again: and ii is time for the
q people decide whether this species Of tyranny is
RI to be allowed 20 trampng down the legislative
r faculties OF Congress- and by mighty sales and bargains
with the selishand inerested-browbcangs oflhe timid
-caloleries Of the weak-and appropriate appliances
in all quarers-succecd in moulding and ashioning the
national legislation in the way which ne thinks will best
i, subserve his own ambitious ycws.-D
