THE TINES AND TIE COMPROMISE
RTTT.

The Times attempts TO apologize for Mr. Ste
phens' Infamous doctrines on The slavery question,
by saying that what Mr.. Stephens advances are
mol Mr. Stephens opinions. No wonder! When
exposed in all their naked hidcousness and mon
s1rous deformily, the Times, MIR. S. himself
shrinks from Them. Yet Mr.. 8. did say that
those principles which would govern the So
preme Court have been setlled by The BEST, old
est and mos, approved writer's on publ law, and
by Lord Mansfield and the English and Amer.
can Courts and goes on 10 quote Josspius, Fat
lei and Grotins, and TO cite cases from English
and American reports.
The Times says that Mrs (and, it adds SO do
all Southern men) does assert 'that a slavehold
er who takes his slave into a vacant territory
iche'e no lao but the Constitution Of the United
States IS IN force, will not be diuested of his pro-
peny;" and, it adds that "it does no, see" how,
thispropos.ion is at all perlinentto Mr.. Stephens
argument. Indeed! when Mr.. s. expressly lays
down his principle to be, that MEXICAN law pro.
hibiling slavery would govern the Supreme Court
because mol Inconsistent with Chose are his words)
labish the proposition which The Times says
MIR. s. and every Southern man admits. Why7
Because il utterly ovcrwhelms Mr.. Stephens
whole argument. Look again. neishbor Times,
at what you say Mr.. 8 "does asse,t." The u.
S. Constitution does not divesl Shareholder of
his slave 10 the territories Of The United States,
but In New Mexico aud California, Msz,eaa lav
does. Now tell u.s. Mr.. s., tell us, Mir. Times,
Which v,u gouern The y. S. Court, the i. S. Con.

not al ALL Blu, we will venture 10 assert that there
was not another man besides himself, who read
our article, who did no, see the DRIFT Of our arsu.
ment-and lis 'pertinency."
As for Gen. Cass's quotations from Mr.. Brch-
anan and Mir. Walker, which the Times and
other Wing papers have made SO much noise
about, they are utterly misapplied BY those pa
pers. General Cass clearly refers TO The physical
aud moral, aud not to the legal difficulties 10 the
way. For, says he, il "may well be doubled'
[not that i. is absolutely impossible az Mr..
Stephens believes it TO be, unless the Mexi-
can law be repealed that Slavery will pass be-
yond The Rio GraHde. The laws of nature, he
maintains, and The feelings Of The inhabitants are
opposed 10 It; shown by their having already pro.

We were amused at the argument which
Councillor Trarers Daniel adduced, to prove
that General Taylor was a statesman of high

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
/. In writing to an editor always choose
some subject which has reference to the oh
iects for which his Journal was established
This will at once secue you his attention
Ii. Study buevity. Read Defoe, Goblet
or Swift, Tor Franklin's Essays,) to &C
quire similaf plainness and strength of style
Ill. Avoid long inroductions ard pero
ra.ions. Jump into tie subject at once
and when you have sad all you have to say
end there. Try to put thought or fac
into every sentence you write. Avoid re
peating ideas except they are placed in new
aspects.
Nv. Avoid broken metaphors, and meta
phors altogether, except they are very aP
plicable. All others weaken and deforn
writing.
". Never assert doubtful fact positively
/ Never lose temper with an adversary. RI
member that coarse language is not stron
