Glorious Uciory--ihe Compromise Bill laid
on c Bier an The House, Three times three
cheers for the people At last we are enabled
to record solid, substantial and significant
victory over the hOrds of the slavocracy. The
cunning and fendIsh Slavery Compromise Bill,
which passed the Senate by vote Of 33 10 ~
\ by which the ,choh of the territories of Oregon
California and New Mexico was left open to.
I Shareholders TO plant their wicked system. in,
with no help for the slave but the entirely
iallacous one Of trial in the Territorial and
appeal 10 the L. :. Supreme Court, a remedy
for which by The very nature Of the case the
slave is incapacitated, which could not result in
decision I'LL slavery should have covered the
whole face Of the country, and which has done
nothing whatever for the slaves in the slive
states, though il is equally open To them, has
been laid on the table in the House by a vote
of ll2 to 81 And what seals It's fate, the
House refused to reconsider by a vote of ia
to 96 The vote was nearly sectional one
Brdsall, bunker, was the only man from New
York who did not vote to lay the mons,rous
bill on lis bier. Two or three democrats from
each ofthe state of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois went the dough. Eigh, or ten
wings Of the south voted with the norh, the
rest, with the southern democrats, went in a
mass to save the charter Of their piracy.
/ The vote to lay on the table, in the circum-
stances, was vote on the merits, and the
refusal TO reconsider by larger vote is decisive
\ a itcr disposng the Senate Bill the House
took up its own bill for a territorial Govern
ment of Oregon, which includes a prohibition
of slavery there. 1t will probably pass, and be
rejected by the Senate. That House of very
small Lords seems to have taken a very lordy
attitude and We should not be surprised if some
of It's northern digniarles should bring home a
a few slaves for trial in Vermont, New Hamp-
shlrs, New York, &c.--(hronoiWe.

Pull IT Up By rnR Roor- -"Father, here
is dock, =" said Thomas as he was at work
With his father in the garden; shall ! cut ii
off close 10 the rootl'
"No,' replied his father, "that will not do /;
] have cut it up myself many times, but il
grows again stronger than ever. PuN IL up
by the root, for nothing else will kill it,"
Thomas pulled again and again at the dock,
but the root was very deep in the ground, and
he could not stir it from It's place SO he asked
his father to come and help him, and his father
went and soon pulled 1t up.
This DOck-rcot, Thomas said his father,
(which is an evil and fast growing weed in
garden. puts me in mind Of the evil things
that grow so fast in the hearts of children. A
bad passion, even when found out, Is hard To-
be removed it is no use to trine with it-thcre
is no way TO overcome AND destroy it, but to
pull il up by the root.
- iou have often seen in our garden, Thomas
that when the weeds are allowed 10 grow,
they spoil all the plants and flowers that grow
near them. SO it is with evil passions in the
heart OF child. If little boy is ll-tempercd,
We must not expect to find him in good humor.
chcerulncss, thankfulness, and desire to make
Others happy. And little girl who is idle,
we need not expect to be industrious, neat or
cheerful. As weeds injure the flowers, so
Will bad passions injure good qualities. II a
child is undutlful to his parents, and despiscs
the commandments Of God, we might as well
look for a rose or a tulip IN bed OF nettles, as
hope TO find in his heart those graces aud good
desires that we loved to see growing there.
Now this is quite sufficient reason why all
bad passions should be pulled up by the root.
Every bad habit, every evil passion which
troubles you, you should try with all your heart
aud mind To overcome you should, if posi-
BILE tear it up. But you will find your own
strength bHt weakness, and you must apply to
iha, Almighty Friend who is alone able to
and assist you. He can take from
