JHe COMPROMISE Bill passed The Senate
We congratulate the country that the Senate
have passed, BY the handsome vote of 80 to y,
the Territorial Bill reported by the select com
mit,ee of eight The struggle seems to have
been intense; but we rejoice that The iriends OF
the bill had the stern patriotism 10 stand at their
posts the whole of one Of the hottest nights OF
the season, so as to compelso important anu so
vital measure 10 be carried through. The de-
bate has been able and thorough-the question
has been fairly tried-and, should the House
have the frmness and patriotism to pursue the
same course, and consummate the measure, the
factious agi,ators of the North will strive in
vain with their passionate cry Of "Repeal."-
Their mutterings of disunion will be hushed by
the voice OF the people-their power utterly
broken By this wise and sound action of the peo-
Piles representatives.
We have not seen The ayes and noes, and can
not. therefore, see how parties stood on The ques-
,ion-but we did feel asonishment and rising IN
disnation when we saw that Bell OF Tennessee
and Badger Of North Carolina, Southern Wing
Senators, spoke against le bill. They will have
10 render fearful account 10 their constituents.
We cannot doubt that flanagan, Dickinson,
Bright Douglass ard oiier Northern Democrats
stood BY the Constitution and the Union.
A few days since the Wing claimed all The
credit OF his bill Tor Mr.. Clayton, Wing. Now
we freely honor such mel as Clayton and Jonn-
son OF Maryland Tor Their noble course on this
subject but j, mus, no! be forgotten lha, Bright,
Northern Democrat proposed the Missouri
COMPROMISE, and that Dickinson, also Northern
Democrat, is said 10 have proposed in commiIee
the very compromise with has passed the Sen
ate. The latter seems have borne himself
manlully throughout. Cnc thing IS cerlain-a
Democratic Senate has passed The measure oiJus-
ice ard peace. Villa Hiig House do It's duiy3
II il falers now, and from la:tious, pariizan or
other motives, breaks up Ike measure, and throws
Inc mater open for renewed agitation The people
will hold them 10 rigid bi!y-and lay
lorisn will be like "a tale tina is told."
Werust that the House may ratify the action
OF the Sennle, though We have our fears. Mr.
Hilliad, Southern Wing, has avowed his op-
position 10 the bill. II his party friends from the
Sou,h r,llow his lead the bill may Be lost, and
-, ilau,r Vi discotd burn still more fercely.
