THE COMPROMISE.

SPEECH OF Mn. SrEpHEEs-The National In
telligencer publishes the mastery speech of Mr..
Stephens upon the so-called Compromise. We
think no candid man read il, without being
thoroughly satisfied that the measure was no Com
promise at all, but as Mr.. Stephens justly charac-
erzed it, ARTICLES of CapituIation on the par, OF
the South" Mr.. Stephens maintains his position
by an array of legal authorities and of arguments
which cannot be conrovortcd. We defy ally IN
prejudced mind, after dispassionate perusa of this
speech, TO withhold assent from its clear and con-
elusive reasoning. Mr.. Stephens, in the conclu-
sion Of his remarks, thus sums up the positions
which he has established beyond all doubt or cavI:
Rich. Rep.
The LIST is, that by the bill the whole subject Of
slavery in California and New Mexico. without
any legislation on the part of Congress or the terri
tOral governments, one way the other is referred
to the judiciary to determine whether it can legally
exist there or not.
I'D. That the Constitution of the United States
fully recognizes and amply protects the institution
OF slavery where II exists by the laws of the State
OF place, but 1t does not establish ii any where,
where 10y the laws of the place it is prohibited
I'D. That California and New Mexico beino
territories acquired by conquest all the laws which
were IN force there at the time Of the conquest not
inconsistent with the Constitution Of the States
or the stipulation of the treaty of peace or which
were purely OF political character, are, according
to well settled principles, and the adludicationa ri
our own courts, still in force
9TH That as slavery did not exist there st the
time Of the conquest, but had been prohibited by
express law, the Supreme Court of the u. States.
to whom tho matter was to be referred in the last
resort could not be expected, from the principles of
numerous decisions already made, to decide other
wise than that slavery cannot be protected there,
until the existing law aboshing it be altered by
! competent authority.
18th and lastly. That these positions being in
conrovertlbe the bill offered, as it was, as com,
promise and final settlement Of the question, a
mounted to nothing but total abandonment and
surrender Of the rights ofextending the institutions
Of the South To those Territories

The Mexican chieftain, false hearted and vain,
Had marshallcd his thousands mountain and plain
Ana proudly and gaily, his gorgeous advance
Was cleaning with bayonct, sabre aud lance;
Already he graspcd al the empire and crown,
Awaiting, rcwarding the yictors
The Anglo American army, at bay
stood SILENT unshrnk,ng, prepared for the fray;
Rough, ragged and toll worn, with faces unshorn,
The butterfly focman bchcld them in scorn;
But nerved was the arm and ilumincd the eye
Oi the ctz:L- llicr conqcrr die.
He thought Of his home in the valley afar
FROM the clangonr OF arms and the horrors of war,
The friends who so loved him, the dearest and BEST
His SOULS cherished idol, inshrincd i'm his breast
His mothers last blessing 'hough fearful the odds
My son, do your duty, the issue God's.''
On, rolls the lurd sulphurcuous flood,
my fields, Bucna VISTA are flowing with blood,
The rcd storm of battle the flash and the roar
Like ocean, cnragcd on a granite bound shore
AS foam on the pillows, the masses are tost
The left flank is broken-O God we arc lost
Hush hush craven hearted who talks of despair?

They may fall they may die, but they never will Weld
Kentucky has planted her breast TO the shock
And the Sons of the Prairie stand firm as a rock
Up gallant artillery; pour in your fire
They facr. they rally, advance and retire.
Now forward, now backward, commingng and blcnt,
Their lanccs are shvcrcd, their banners are rent

The smoke of the combat hangs dark DER the sky

And victory is gained to astonish the world

THE TWO BROTHERS. LEGENl
BY LAMARTINE.

The site occupied by the temple ofSolomon was
formerly cultivated field, possessed in common by
two brothers. One of them married and had
several children the other unmarried. They
lived together, however, cultivaliDg in the greatest
harmony possible, the property they had inherited
from their father.
The harvest season had arrived. The two bro
Tiers bound up their sheaves, made two equal
stacks of Them and left them on the field. During
the night the unmarried brother was struck with an
excellent thought My brolher,' said he to him
self, has wife and children TO support; it is not
just that my portion of tho harvest shnnld he as
large as his" Upon this he arose and took from
his stack several sheaves which he added TO those
OF his brother and this he did with as much secre-
sy as If he had been committing an evil action in
order that his brothers. offering might not be reject
ed. On the same night the other brother awoke and
said to his w!ie-''My brother lives alone without
companion; he has none 10 assist him in his la
bors nor 10 reward him for his tois-whe God has
bestowed on me wife and children, it is not right
that we take from our common field as many
sheaves as he, since we have already more than he
has-domestic happiness. If you consent, by add
ing secretly a number of our SheaveS by wav of
compensation, and without his knowledge see his
portion OF the harvest increased. This project was
approved and Immediately put into execution.
In the morning, each of the brothers went to the
field, and were much surprised finding the stacks
equal. During several successive nights the same
contrivance was repeated on both sides for as each
kept adding to his brothers. store the stacks always
remained the same But night, both having
stood sentinel 20 divine into the cause of this mira
Gle, they met, each bearing the sheaves mutually
for the other 1t was all thus Calculated and they
rushed into each others arms, each grateful to Hca
ven for having 50 good brother.
Now, says the legend the place where so Good
an idea had simultaneously occurred to the two
brothers, and with so much pertinacily, must have
been acceptable 10 God. Men blessed it, and is
rael chose it, there TO the house of the Lord

iDLENEss.-Wre is the man who has no
employment but to watch his own digestion, aud
who, on waking in the morning. has no useful oc-
cuPailon of the day presented TO his mind. To
such one respiration is toll, and existence is a
continued disease. SeIfoblyon is the only re.
source; indulgence in alcohol in various DISCUSSES,
his remedy; and death superstition his only com
fort or hope For what was he born ?-and why
was he born A-are questions which he constantly
asks OF himself and his great enjgmas the smi.
ling faces of habitual industry, stimulated by the
wants of the day, or fear for the future. Ii he is
excited to exertion, it is commonly to indulge in
some vicious propensity, or display his scOrn of
those pursuits which render others happier than
himself.

platform, couched in three resolutions, to the fol-

|. That it is the duty of the General Govern

2. THAT slavery in the States is under State
control"
). That slavery should be prevented in the
territories by Congressional action"
The man. who occupies this platform. is dis
tlngulshed DEMoCRAT--no less a person than Mar
tin Van Buren,, formerly Democratic President,
and more lately the defeated candidate of the De
mocracy-and all the time, the peculiar champion
of Southern institutiOns-'.the Northern man with
Southern principlesn' The people of the South
cannot have forgotten the denuncatious which
were hcaped upon the Wings for expressing their
distrusi of this Southern champion. And yet these
same persons ask us again to pu. trust in another
