Inc compromise COnnitfec-lnr. SeUter.
The committee of the Senate, constituted on
Mr. Clayton's motion, is capable of terminating by
their action, the grave and dangerous difficulty be-
tween the North and the South, and of disarming
the demagogues and fanatics of both sections, of a
weapon which they are using to the great detri-
ment of the country. II is no use to grumble at
the selection made-but it might have been much
better, and, in some instances, it could not have
been worse 1t was too bad to put Mr.. Phelps on
this committee. The choice of Mr.. Dickinson was
nearly as bad although it was fitting that New
York should have voice in the settlement of the
question, and of the two, Mr.. Dickinson was, per-
haps, the less Objectionable. From the fact that
Mr.. Calhoun accepted place on this committee,
there is reason to believe that he Is disposed to
come to some compromise Surely, if he did not
feel such disposition, he would have protested
against being placed upon board constituted for
the express purpose OF compromise. 1t would be
insulting to Mr. Calhoun to entertain such a suspi-
cion. II he felt cOnscientiously opposed to all
compromise, he would beyond all question, have
protested against being placed in such position
as TO defeat the object for which the committee
WIS raised.
But there Is now a doubt whether or not the
committee will report tor adoption, the naked ba-
sis OF the Missouri compromise. There is a diff
Guilty In tn way. Mr.. Underwood, though law
yer has conscience 1T seems; and that conscience
happens, on this particular point, to be impracti
cable It's not lndla-rubber or even gutta percha
1T is granite on the slavery question. MIR.
Underwood's conscience tells Mr.. Underwood
that there ought to be slavery South OF thirty-six
degrees thirty minutes, whether the people wish it
or not,-whether It be compatible with the soil and
climate or not,-and Mr. Underwood, therefore,
cannotEp sbly agree that South of that line be
left an open question. His conscience is n1exlble
Now, it is fitting that the consciences of a COM
promise committee should be of more ductile ma
t.rlais. A solid, inhexible conscience has no bust
ness on such committees and in this point ofview,
perhaps, the appointment of Mr.. Dickinson and
Mr. Phelps were signaht Inappropriate.
The committee have it in their power to do
good service to their country. Will they act ener-
getca'ly and promptly
Mr.. Sewer has arrived, bringing, of course, no
late news; he does not think the revolution in
Mexico will be Of any importance. He deems the
government sufficiently strong to maintain itself
for the present. GALvIENs1s.
