Senator Phelps on the Compromise.

Mr.. Phelps, Of Vermont, ono Of the a.
blest whig Senators from New England,
and who was on the committee which re-
ported the bill TO establish Territorial gov
ernments in Oregon, New Mexico and
California, commonly called the Compro-
mise bill, m ade speech upon the subject,
of which the correspondent, of the Phila-
delphia Led ger speaks as follows:
"Mr. Phelps made one of the most lucid,
sensible Judicial speeches that were ever
delivered in the Senate. Hetook the ground
that the practical operation Of the bill was
all that the Wilmot Proyiso men of the
North demanded it should be. 1t abolish.
ed slavery practically, in Oregon lmmedi-
ately, and would certainly prevent the in.
PRODUCTION of fslavery in New Mexico and
California, and that was all he desired. He
had not, in giving his assent to the bill in
Committee, given up an iota Of his princi-
Piles or those Of his constituents. If the
people of Oregon had a right to repeal their
anti slavery laws, they also had right to
.re-enaet them-and as they were against
slavery now, so they will be three months
hence. Mr.. Phelps took, throughout, prac.
ticai and siatesmanlike views"
The Buffalo Express, whig paper thus
speaks OF Senator Phelps:-"No man in
the Senate is more thoroughly imbued with
the principles and sentiments of freedom
or more wa.ehful and jealous Of Southern
encroachment. He has been for n grea
manv years in the national councils ha
observed with feelings Of strong aversion

Slavery in Territ0rieS-Gen Cass and
SilaS Wright.

Upon the question Of extending slavery
in the new territories, the democratic doc
,rne is briefly this: The people of the
new territories have the right to form their
own Institutions of government without the
interference of Congress. The question Of
the extension or prohibition of slavery in
the new territories should not be forced up
on Congress, since the south has not vet
asked for n law to establish slavery there,
without which slavery can never exist
When the south asks for such law, it
will be time 10 oppose its enactment.
In letter addressed to MIR. 0. A. p.
Nicholson, Of Tennessee, in the month Of
December ~, Gen. Cass gave his views
on the question; coinciding with the doctrine
advanced in the foregoing paragraph. The
letter of Gen Cass to Mr.. Nicholson, has
been given to our readers and has been
published both in the democratic and whig
apers of the Union generally.
The views of Silas Wright on this ques
ton were precisely similar to those en-,
tertained by Gen. Cass, and expressed in
his letter TO Mr. Nicholson. Will any
Barnburner or any organ of the Barnburn.
ing faction deny this' The proof of the
truth Of our assertion s at hand. In July
l647, Hon. R. Fl. Gillet, Solicitor Of the
Treasury, drew up series Of resolutions,
touching slavery among which was this.
Resolved, 1hat, should the United States
acquire new territory, it ought, in this res
pect, to remain in the condition in which
it may be when 80 acquired, and the peo-
pie thereof left to the exercise Of their own
wish es and Judgments on the subject, when
admitted to the Union as state under the
Constitution.
On the 18th Of August, Mr.. G,llet trans
mitted a copy of his resolutiong to Gov
Wright, advising him that, ''they had re-
ceived the appreciation ofnumerous friends,
and presented in his opinion, ground where
on the whole democratic party could safe
ly and wisely stand" Under date of the
18th Of August, nine days before his death,
MIR. Wright wrote 10 Mr.. Gillet at very
considerable length, "concurrang in the
principle asserted in the resolutions."
Gen. Cass then is clearly and beyond all
doubt or question, occupying the very po,
sition on the slavery question which siaa
Wright in his lifetime occupied-high na-
tionl ground-the true democratic ground
ground whereon the whole demoaratic
party can safely and wisely stand. That
each reader may judge for himself, we af-
fix the sentiments of Mr. Wright as given
in reply to MIR. Gillet, and those Of Gen.
Cass in reply to Mr.. Nicholson:

General Jail Delivery.

On Thursday evening last, little be.

the Jail of this county made their escape
by knocking the jailer down as he went in
to lock them up in their cells. One of them
was retaken but few rods from the i;il;
the olhers-Amos Thomas, Lyman w.

their escape. Burroughs and Barnhil have
been returned to the Jail, and at last ac-
counts, the officers were in hot pursuit al-
