THE COMPROMISE.

There great reason TO fear that the infamous bill
msnamed the Compromise bill will pass both branches
of Congress, and become law at the present session
Compromise, forsooth as If flat were compromise
where side yields ALL and the other takes all. Even
John C. Calhoun goes for this bill, SO entirely does it
yield every thing TO the slave power II passes there
is nothing prevent Shareholders spreading themselves
the newly acquired territories carrying their slaves
with them. 1t true, that the Slaves if they have money
10 carry an expensive lawsuit and find lawyers
who will be true TO them, may try the question whether
they legally hoden but the trial must be before
court, Of which judges to be appointed by James
K Polk, and will PROFESSIONALLY be appointed in refer
ence to this particular question The may then be
carried up 10 the Supreme Court of the u s., where five
out of nine of the Judges are Shareholders
REPEAL, them must be the watchword of all free
men, ifthis infamous bill should pass And, with that
question in view, it becomes, more than ever important
that man PLEDGED to free territory principles
should be in the Presidential Chair. No STAKEHOLDER
and no ghface can be trusted there, in such CASE
Freemen of the North be true your country, and
10 Freedom!

take the pots from their kitchens, and some the

plenty here, that we can fix out our pumps for
thermometers, our lakes for mirrors. and the doc

TALE OF MYSTERY. Mr.. Richard D.

engaged in the mercantile business at that place
disappeared somewhat suddenly, about four wears
since, and all efforts TO obtain information as TO
what had become of him were iruitless Mr., d.
was in very good circumstances. and having been
last seen in Philadelphia, it was believed that he
had been robbed and murdered. His brother
was granted letters OF administration at the June
Court, and was proceeding to settle up the es-
tate. 1t was therefore with very great surprise
that the Administrator received letter from a
Mr.. McCue OF Baltimore, (brother-i in law of Mr..
X. ID. Doran,) stating that a letter was in his
possession, directed to his care, for the wife of
the supposed deceased-who has herself died
since the disappearance of her husband giving
an explanation Of the whole matter, hitherto so
unaccountable and mysterious in its character
"The letter (says the Spirit,) is dated at Gas-
gov, Scotland, and those who have examined it,
say there can be no coubt of its being written by
Mr.. ID. He explains his mysterious disappear
ance from the fact that he was in a state OF par
tial arrangement, and pursued that course to
avoid more fatal termination to his imaginary
difficulties. He makes in the letter, a number
of requests, and desires that his vile, from her
own private funds, will remit him bill of ex-
change, sufficient to pay his passage home and
iquidate some other Indebtedness which he
names. He also desires his wife to retain gold
