The New York Globe proposes TO lay the founda
ton of truly democratic party on sectional feelings
and upon the most delicate and alarming question which
can spring out of institutions The
is to be laid on the Wimot Provso-"free territory"
The most dangerous OF all the movements in great
conederacy OF States, those which are founded on
sectional considerations. Nothing is more strongly cal
cuated to shake the Union ITSELF and it is against these
that Gen. Washington has most strongly warned his
countrymen in his valedictory ad dress.
The New York Globe declares its decided opposition
to General Cass; and it further proclaims. as the
basis of its present action, that ''the election oil
Taylor, who is pledged to no party or interest,
would create opportunity for the real democracy
of the Union to unite in 1852, and the result then
would show complete democratic triumph II it is de.
sirabe to show strength at this election and by
doing we shall not indirectly aid Glass; ii should be done
There of conceaing any course we intend to
pursue Though Cass will probably be defeated, no mat
ter what pursue, yet it is better to have no
probability about it. His defeat must be made certain
The wing party has longer any distinctive principles
certainly avowed by their candidate The wing
convention have merely adopted their cand-
date who had already been placed in nomination by the
people several of the States some Of whom belonged
to each of the two great parties in the Union"
To such an infauation has one of the barnburner
presses of New York been impeed by its anacsm. 1t
remains to be seen how far the sober second thought
of the great republican of New York will adopt
this blind guide their oracle We already understand

He almost regrets it seems, that had not lost the
tendency in 1874, and thus have lost all the glorious
forms which Mr.. Polk has contributed to produce at
home, and the admirable adjustment of our foreign differ
ences which he has secured in Texas, in Oregon and in
Mexico We must decline acting as the Mentor for any
man who sports such mschievous, anti-democradc
opinions. He is longer entitled to the confidence Of an
enlightened people. His best is to join the wings
once repudate his principles, and hurrah for General
Taylor !"

held in the Park for the purpose the wings friendly
to Taylor got together La Fayette Hall to their

South on the subject Of slavery are reserv-
ed: and. without giving the sanction ofthe

habits. and the wishes of the people who
shall hereafter form the State Constitutions

Mr.. CLAYTON. in submitting the report
and bill to the Senate. said it is the honest
opinion OF a large majority Of the commit
tee that. by the passage CT this bill. the
safety Of the Union will be placed beyond
the reach Of agitation. and that the only
question which now threatens to endanger
it, may be. not Immediately, but Ultimate
ly, put at rest forever.
And the editors Of the n ationai Intelli-
gencer say
1--WE sincerely trust that this scheme.
proceeding as it undoubtedly does from
the most patriotic motives, may put an end
forever to question, from the agitation
Of which alone the enemies of our great
and glorious Union derive any hope of
succeeding in their insane purposes
We regret to say. that we entertain
neither the opinion or the trust that the
passage of the bill will produce the de-
sired result anticipated.
The bill was read the first time on the

The Proposed Compromise.

Mr.. Clayton. from the select committee
on the Territories Of Oregon. California
and New Mexico, has reported bill for
the organization Of the governments Of
each of them.
In submitting it to the Senate. Mr.
Clayton said, the subject was Of infinite
difficulfv-that the Territories for which
civil governments were TO be organized,
embraced an area Of 1.O44, 492 square
mies-about as large as one third of all
Europe. After long conferences, labori-
Gus discussion, and the manifestation OF
the most concilitary spirit. vote was Ia
ken upon a proposition moved by Mr..
ATCHINsoN of Missouri. ''that the spirit OF
the Missouri compromise be adopted TO
govern the settlement Of all the territories
of the United States.'' On this PROPOSE
galnst 1t.
Mr.. BR1eHr Of Indiana. then moved a
proposition containing the words OF the
Missouri compromise. As the condition
of the territory was different from that to
which the compromise applied in 1890.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD of Kentucky moved an
amendment. providing that all the terri
tory in New Mexico and California, south
of SO deg min, shall be placed on the
same footing in all respects as 10 Slavery,
that existed in Louisiana while it was a
territory''-on both of these propositions
the committee were equally divided.
At this stage ofthe proceedings all COM
promise appeared impossible. But after
wards the committee entertained propo-
sition for adjusting the great question. so
far as to enable Congress to extend the
laws over and provide tor the .administra-
ton of justice III The Territories leaving
for the present the settlement of it 10 the
laws of population. or the adoption OF
soil. climate. and all circumstances to the
various kinds Of labor. The result was
that the Committee finally agreed, with
great unanimIty, to make report. and
but two Of them. one from the North and
the other from the South, disappearing OF
any Of the material features; aid bill
was accordingly prepared by MIR. Clayton
in conformity with the report.
The bill provides Territorial Govern

laws which have been passed by the pres
ent temporary Government. until the Lee

pass other laws in conformity TO the wish
es and interests of the people whom they
will represent.
As regards New Mexico and California.
the bill provides for each government
such as the first given to the Michigan
Territory; but at the same time resfIains
those Territories from passing any laws
on the subject Of slavery. freedom OF re-
ligion, or impairing fine right OF the I nited
States to the unoccupied lands What
