The state of affairs at Washington fills us with
concern. Those who are authorized to speak for
the Administration, in Congress, or through the
press, fail to take ground openly for the Compro-
mise plan of the Senate. The infatuated policy
seems to be adhered to of pressing the Presidents
plan, as a counter-project to that of the Commit
Tee of Thirteen. Nothing, at least, is intmated,
with any show of authority, that can serve to up
hold conservative Northern Wings in supporting
scheme acceptable to moderate men of the South,
in preference to one which they are allowed o be-
lieve that a Southern Administration is disposed
to insist upon. Here, we are constrained to
confess with modification, lies in great part,
the real danger of the present crisis. We do
not yet surrender the belief that the President
is right at heart on this sectional question, and
that he will perceive the hollow deceitfulness of
those who are now artfully making use of his re-
Communications 10 defeat great measure of con-
ciliaton and harmony. Until that belief shall be
confirmed, however, it is our duty to give candid
warning that no Administration can be sustained
in the South which stakes itself on such an issue
as that proposed to be made between the Pres-
Thirteen. There will doubtless, in a short time
be manifestations of popular sentiment on the sub
ject of the Senate's Compromise, and we venture
to say thatin no constituency in Virginia, or any
other Southern State, will ten intelligent men.
Wings or Democrats, avow their willingness that
the Senate's Compromise should be superseded
by the Presidents policy, which, in its practical
operation, is nothing more nor less than the adj
mission of California, and continued agitation as
to the Territories. In this city, which gave a
larger majority for Gen. Taylor than it ever gave
for any other candidate for the Presidency, we
have not met the individual who does not regard
the proposition to use Gen. Taylor's recommends
ton to the prejudice of the Senae's Compromise,
as deserving the sternest condemnation.
The Administration, it is needless to deny,
stands upon tie edge of precipice By taking
counsel from Henry Clay, and abandoning an I'M
tenabe position for one which the whole coun-
try, except the ultra men of both sections, will
sustain, it might readily gain foothold in the po-
pular affections. which no opposition could shake.
Otherwise, it must inevitably sacrifice the support
of its Southern friends, and, in the North, give
terrible impetus to the progress of Free Soil IA
naticism. We speak plainly, but we speak truths
which ought to be known. No party considera-
tons shall prevent US from uttering them.

The following the remarks OF the National In :

Ourforbearance from taking part in the discussion
of the questions which have inevitably resulted from
the acquisition of regions OF teritorypurchased
most dearly by lavish et1uslon OF the blood and treas
urt C the countrys therefore, imputabe to any thing
but doubt or indifference to the magnitude con-
sequence of the questions at issue. On the contrary
seeing that our silence has been msnterpreted take
occasion to say, whilst placing ourselves right upon
that point, that we have concealments touching
the various propositions before Congress for settling the
slavery controversy; in regard to which tree
TO avow that, eschewng ultraism on that as most
othe Subjects appears to to be OF less Importance
which Of the plans before Congress shall succeed than
that some one of them shall succeed, and that
speedily We shall cheerfully welcome any
sure, or any series OF measures, Including the
admission of California into the Union, with the Con-
stution which she has herself formed, } which
shall command maorities in the two Houses of Cons
gress. Preerrng the plan recommended by the
President to Congress- n his Message of the 2lst of
January, well-consdered constitutional and just
and offering fewer difficulties to be overcome than any
other that is likely to succeedwe should yet hail with
satisfaction the adoption of any plan which would do
Justice to the political claims of California, and at the
same time restore to the minds OF the people OF this
country the quiet that has been unhappy disturbed by
the peals OF dscord which, during the last hive or six
months, havebeen rung out to them from the Halls OF
Congress.
OF the several plans which are before Congress, we
the country depends upon the choice which shall be
made; and We see no necessity therefore, for advocat
ing with undue vehemence or tenacty any one in pre-
terence 10 another.

as true to the South as Southern Democrats:
The responsibility of this present lack Of interest in

The Recorder thinks Mr.. Winthrop's speech will

Yesterday, half dozen slaves were brought up from

rewards for misdeeds pepetrated Saturday night and
Sunday.
-Four oil these fellows were let off quite gently, their
only offence consisting in this that they had forgotten
to procure passes from their owners to visit all parts OF
the city But the other two were compelled to run the
gauntlet They had been detected in little peccadioes,
which brought down upon their backs the vengeance of
the law. One Of these, fellow named William, stole
pair Of shoes from the store Of Mr. E. Strauss near the
Old Market, Sunday morning. Upon being pursued
he took water, but finding Shockoe Greek rather too
deep at its debouchure, retraced his steps and quietly
surrendered to the officers, preferrng the ven
geance OF the law to the water cure Of he was
sent below Tor correction. The other fellow claimed
to belong 10 Simon Abrahams' estate, was arraigned
tor stealing coat, and being disordery in the Streets
