WASHINGTON, July %.
SENATE.

After the usual morning business,
the compromise bill was again taken
up.
Mr.. Clay then addressed the SEN
ale in general remarks upon the
whole system of measures reported
by the committee of thirteen. He
defended them in every possible light
in which the arguments of their op-
ponents had placed them. He de-
tended them from all Charges, and
maintained their availability as a
measure OF peace and harmony
His speech was combination ofh
many defences of particular parts of
the bill, REINFORCED by new illustra-
tions. In conclusion, he made the
most eloquent appeals to certain Sen.
ators, and particularly to the Sena-
tors from Rhode Island, Deleware.
and Virginia, to support the bill and
protect the Union. He was repeat
edly applauded by the galleries. He
defended the supporters of the bill
from the charge of incongrlity: and
turned the charge upon the others
he alluded to the speeches of Mr..
Rhett, of South Carolina, and ridi-
culed and denoun ed them,
Mr.. Barnwell replied, defending
Mr. Rhett.
MIR. Clay replied that if Mr.. Rhett
used the term which was attributed
to him of his intention to unfurl the
banner of disunion, and followed it
up with any view to carry it out,
then he was a traitor, and he hoped
he would meet the fate of a traitor.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Barnwell replied.
MIR. Hale and Mr.. Clay continued
the debate, turning upon the fate of
those from the North who had voted
for the Missouri compromise.
And then the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
mir. Olds asked leave to offer res
oluton-that, the Senate concurring,

resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled,
that the next session of the 3lst-
Congress shall commence on the first
Monday in November next.
The Speaker suggested that the
resolution was not really in form,
and said that the gentleman might
attain his object by changing his it
so as to provide for a recess of Con-
gress.
Mr. Olds replied that he did not
wish to adjourn on the 2Sth of Au-
gust, unless the next session should
commence in November, and modi-,
he'd his resolution according to the
suggestion of the Speaker.
No action was taken ON the reso-

WHAT Will BE THE
RESUIT

Before these lines go to press the
final action on the Compromise Bill
will, in all probability, have been ta-
ken; and men now inquire what will
be the consequences of its adoption
or rejectionl
1t is idle to indulge in speculation,
but there some points in this G ontro .
verssy between the two sections of
our country which enable us to form
some OPINION of the probable results
n the olU event or tn other. We
twill briefly advert to these:
Should the Compromise be adop-
ted by the Senate and pass the House
one of two things must follow: The
Southern States will submit to its
provisions, or they will proceed, as
indicated by the. Nashville Conven-
ton, to adopt such measures as they
deem necessary and expedient in de-
fence of their constitutional rights.
Should it be defeated, the admission
OF California per Sc will be insisted
on by the dominant majority and
pressed to an issue. In such an
event the South will be more strong
ly bound, ifpossiblc, to take this step
of self-prescrvation. No quibbling
about distractions, nor doubtful dis
cussions about the expediency of this
or that measure, can then be allowed
to stand in the way of united and
harmonious action by the Southern
people.
The country is fast verging to this
trial, nor can the wisest men of the
nation propose, with any chance of
success, preventive. The talk
threats and ultimatums, compromi-
ses and adjustments, will soon
have ceased. For nearly eight
months the country has been racked,
and ifin that time the greatest states
men in the confederacy cannot de-
wise soppe measure to avert the threa-
tened evil, what hope remains for the
future?
The issue and its consequences, as
far as human sagacity can Judge,
must soon come upon us. There
are but two ways to decide both:-
The Union can be saved by the for
bearance and return to reason of the
people of the North. 1t can also be
saved, we presume, by the uncondi-
tional submission of the people ofthe
South to the hard terms imposed up
ON them by the former. The latter
mode of salvation we do not think
practicable among men nnrtured and
cherished under our republican insti-
tutions. But the one way then re-
mains, and that is stern determine
ton on the part of the sober mas
ses of the North to put down and
crush the demagogues and fanatics
oftheir section. If their profession of
love to the Union comes from honest
hearts, they will do this.
There is no threatn nor design ofin-
timidatioh IN the present action OF
the citizens ofthe slaveholding States.
Every mail brings us accounts OF
gatherings by hundreds, and some
TIMES by thousands, of the Southern
| people, They do not assemble thus
insuch noltitudes for mere vapor or
empty threats, They feel and see
the urgent necessity that requires

them to move in concert, and to give
publicity totheir sentiments and res
olutions. The people of the North
are sadly mistaken if they imagine
their fellow-citizens in the Southern
States meet now for mere pastime or
for political effect. The next session
of the Nashville Convention will un-
deceive them.
We speak from the certain knowl-
edge of the sentiment entertained in
our own State, and from the senti-
ments of our sister States, so far as
large exchange list enables us to form
an opinion. We speak honestly to
as many of our Northern exchanges
as this may reach, and tell them that
the people of the South are nearer
united now than they ever have been.
The few dissentients, and then are
.feW, will be compelled by the all po-
tent sway of public opinion to wheel
into line. And whether separated or
remaining united with their Northern
fellow-citizens in a political confeder-
acy, we can give them the assurance
that they are determined to submit
to no more aggression upon their in
sttutlons or rights.-Carolinian.

Legislature, will,- hope, in time, as each
country is secured by the constitution in
its due proportion of that fund, bring the
me ans Of common education within the
reach Of all the children in the Common
wealth.
1t will be seen that the relation between
master and slave remains as il was under the
old constitution. Public sentiment, so far
from demanding any change, expressly re-
buked any constitutional action thereon
Hence it has been atouehed; and this
great elemen. of wealth, and of social and
political power, will remain undisturbed
and secure, so long as this constitution shall
continue the paramount law of the land.
The free negro population among us is
conceded by all to be worthless, and highly
detrimental to the value of our alaves, as
we'll as the security of the owner. The new
constitution provides that no slave shall be
emancipated- but upon condition that such
emancipated slaves be sent out Of the
State.
The mode of amending the new constitu-
ton is the same as in the old. Various plans
were presented to the consideration Of the
convention upon the deeply interesting and
important subject, 1t was one which re-
csived, as it deserved, the attention of the
people, and was ably dicussed throughout
this commonwealth-a mode sanctioned BY
time, and irrespective of approval by the
people, commencing itself to our consider
alton by the stability SO necessary to the
safety and security Of private rights, and to
a fair and proper trial, and consequently to
just appreciation Of the new constitution.
The great personal, civil and political
rights which were declared and secured BY
the old, have been still further secured in
the new constitution.
1t may be, that we have been. engaged
longer iu this great work than, in the esti-
nation Of many, was deemed proper. But
amid the conflict of opinions and interests
so diverse and an.agonistic in their char.
acter, time, patience and discussion were
necessary, and produced Split Of concili.
alton and compromise-one so fruitful oi

human life, and not less SO in the political
pursuits and in the discharge Of ihe duties Oi

while his constituents, blinded and awed by the
glare and distinction of his official eminehce, are
brought to abase themselves before him, by an
unmanly subserviency. This is the principal
danger we have to dread, and against which our
jealousy is to be directed. The danger that any
individual citizen who is in Office WILL by an ac-
tual, open, usurpatiOn of power, and by direct
force, deprive US of our rights and liberties, is
very small 1t is the indirect and gradual and
lunperceived tendencies to aristocracy, which is
the natural vice Of republic, that we have to
fear. 1t is against this we must guard. To dn
this, constitutional provisions alone, are not suf
cient, but practical snd ever watchful vigilance
is Necessary. The mode of exercising this vigi-
lance, is by frequent rotation in office. The most
sure way of destroying our institutions, is by q
subtle and gradual undermining of the strict vir'
tue of democracy and destruction of the spirit Of
by encouraging and supporting
distinctions between the citizen;-and these are
as much created by official importance, as By in
ordinate wealth and abject poverty. 1t is easy
Ito prevent an aristocracy Of, this sort getting
astride of US. There is nothing uiopiQn in the
preventive. But when it is once seated, the peo-
pie may put forth all its power, the body polite
may throw and fling, till it is in state of perfect
exhaustion; it can do nothing but submit to be
ridden, or to free itself by the terrible and bloody
alternative Of civil war.

TIE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES s.-Y e,terday morn
ing, a deputation of Hungarians, residents in New
York, waited upon their recently arrived coun'
trymen at the Astor House. They were receiv.
ed by Ujhazy, of Comorn, and the officers of hi.
suit, and after greetings had been intcrchanged
Mr.. Hellsinger delivered an address in the Ma
gyar language, in which he expressed The bitter
regret, mingled with the joy Of their welcome
arrival, that they came not as victors but as the
vanquished. Yet he greeted them not only as
brethren, but Is champions Of holy cause; aud
he referred to the comiRg time "when sure ven
lgeance for the blood now poured out in behalf
of justice and liberty shall utterly ovsrwhelm the
IdespOts who dare assail the freedom of nations ~
The speech was listened 10 with deep interest,
and after brief pause, Gov. Ujhazy responded
toit substantially in these terms; rl
"BRoTHERs: In my own name, and that Of my
companions, respond with my whole soul to
your fraternal welcome. rejoice at meeting
you in this land of freedom, and at hearing in the
dear old language to which we were born, that
though so remote from home, you still cherish
the memory of Hungary. It makes my heart
beat quicker. my blood flow warmer, to be told,
that like trpe sons, in this day of disaster, you
still hang with love upon the fortunes Of the faith
erland, and yearn towards those rich plains and
noble mountains. where our ancestors were bnri-
ed, and our brethren yet have their homes, with
as ardent an affection as at the moment when
triumph perched upon the banners ofthe Magyar,
and the treacherous invader, ignominiously driv-
en- forth from their country, dared not return,
and did not return, oil he came under the pro.
lection Of more powerful tyrant.
u rejoice to hear from your own lips, what
know could not be otherwise. that there still
Iglows IN you that love of liberty which is your
birthright, and which, in America, noble institu-
tions and the example and influence Of great
and generous people must ever elevate and
strengthen. 1t is cheering to meet you and 70
feel all this; to find as we set foot upon these
shores, the arms of brethren, Of compatriots, Of
former fellow-citizens ofHungary, stretched forth
to embrace US, and to assure ui, a. all else as
sured US, that though in one sense exiles and
strangers in another we are welcome to the bless
ings Of this favored land.
"With regard TO the struggle for the in-
dependence Of Hungary, we did everything
possible. Nofulness and dearnestness OF de-
votion could exceed that manifested by the
lpeople of alf classes and tribes. Like breth-
rem rising for the defence Of their mother.

ting forth every energy, risking everything

Judicial Elections. The Jackson Southron, one Of
the principal whig papers in Mississippi, thus speaks
of the recent Judicial elections in that State:
"There is one feature in the recent elections which
does infinite credit to the lberaty, intelligence, and
sound Of the people Of Mississippi and that is
the signal manner in which they have rebuked the
attempts of the partisan leaders to bring party to bear
in deciding upon the relative merits of candidates for
Judicial honors In the strongest whig district in the
Ssatea Judge of opposite party has been triumphant

with which he has administered law and justice with
out fear favor or affection In the Northern judicial
Districts (strongy Cass Judges Miller and Rodgers.
(Taylor men.) have been reelected by large and re-
spectacle ajorities, although strong appeals were
made to the voters opposed to them, by some OF the
leaders of the dominant party to draw the party line
upon the able and accomplished incumbents and to
elect to those Offices candidates of their own party.
