We congratulate the Editor of the Register,
the Federal leaders about Raleigh generally, and
Mr. Badger in particular: upon The utter failure
of all their efforts, backed as they were by John
Hayes, to defeat our election to the Commons in
our feeble arm upon the strong arm of the De-
mocrucy of Wake County we feel that we repose
upon rock; and that rock, founded in justice
and righteousness will resist successfully all the
storms and tempests that may beat against it.

The Ereewtire Journal, and tie Oregon Docu-

columns, this evening" TO the interesting docu-
menls, from which the injunction of secrecy has
just been removed by the resolutions of the Senate.
We lay their secret journal before our readers, as
we'll as the papers which were communicated by
the President. s.
1t appears that the President would not have
proposed the compromise of the last year, if he
had not conceived himself under some obligation
to respect the propositions Of hispredecessors and
that as soon as it was declined by Mr.. Pakenham,
he determined never to make similar offer again.
He strongly recommended the notice to be given
by Congress, and indeed this was the leading cir
cumstance which prompted Great Britain to
make us another offer. 1t was this movement
and the propositions to which the notice led that
have produced the final settlement of this long lii
gated question II appears fromthese documents
which we saw this day for the first time, That,
as far back as December last, the President had
determined lay before the Senate This constitu-
lional advisers) any proposition which Great
Britain might make that would admit of being
laid before the Senate, but that he unwilling
to take less than our full claim. The offer Of
Great Britain was made in consequence of the no.
tice and that offer he submitted as he had deter
mined. to The adyisement OF the Senate. They
advised him to take it, and in consequence Of
it, the convention is now made, which is so well

"Eaton is defeated IN the Senate, and of course
ii is deeply regretted by the party and some
al whig friends Venable is also defeated in the
Commons by few voIes. On the slump Veuable
has no superior in the County. In the present
campaign he has proved himself more than an intel
lectual match for his competitors. FOrcble and
argumentative, illustrating copiously and striking
ly, he never fails to make deep and lasting inn
preston. But sly, secret and gnoble means have
been taken against hm-means which am inclin-
ed to believe would not have been tolerated by the
Wing candidates, but which will be rebuked by
honorable men of both parties Bot The day, be-
Iieve, will come when the people of Granville will
show the ballot-0ox their contempt for the ilib

vote is uncommonly large nor do | believe that
