Ths speech OF Mr DUSS of Ind was brilliant

admirably. His constituents must be pleased both
with sentiments and the abe manner in which
he yves them uiterance.

countries are ebundau;ly able to govern and pro

Our newest acquisitions, q fast filling up with
Americans. Capt. GILLEsPIE the intelligent of.
Ser who carried out. some three years since,

that ths population OF California has increased.

entirely Of our coUntrymen Mexico has much
more 70 fear from them than they from her. The
Indians have been already taught to respect our

Nr. DUR made very effective speech upon
tie question Of the Compromise, in which he re
viewed with great deal of severity but always
in courteous language. Gen. CAsss Inconsistencies
q conduct upon the subject Of Slavery. HIS
present position, unstable as it may prove, was
opposed to the Compromise. He Gen. CAss) con-
tended that the Territorial Legislatures should
have the control OF all local laws and institutions
whereas the Compromise transfers the power 10
Judge. appointed by the President. Southern
Democrats could not therefore, support CAss and
Vet advocate the Compromise.
That Gen CAss was known 20 be of penetrable
stuff. he was not invinci5le TO advice. He had
changed often on this questlon-he could change
again. Tasrs wa. a sylogism, conclusive to his
mind:
Whoever desires 10 be the candidate OF the
Democratic party for the Presidency must repu.
date the Wilmot ProvlsO
Gen. CAss desires 10 be the candidate 81 the
Democratic party Tor the Presidency.
Therefore. Gen. CAss repudlates the Proviso.
This was the logic suited to every phase OF Gen.
CAsss political history the pOle-sar of ms course.
Air. DUER eloquenty aud Indignantly secuted
the absurd idea that the North, 10y ITS opposition
10 the extension of Slavery, intended to aniX q
stigma upon the South. The North was conscien-
tiouslv opposed to Slavery, believing 1t TO be an
evil and hence wished "a prevent It's extension.
He alluded 10 the movement of the Barubumers
and passed an eulOgy upon many of the stln-
guished memhers of that party whom he spe-
cited by name Politically. he had been OPP
posed 20 them his whole life and probably should
be 10 tho close but be would say that there were
among them men who would be sn honor and an
adv antage to any party in any country.

ocpted Il withou; sacrifice of personal esteem. In
his stead GOV. MARCY was appointod-an insult

President In relation thereto and then in feeling
