had confidence in the proposed compromise arrange

would oppose arrangement concocted by ma lriiy
"f their own men. They really seem to desire ami
cable settlement, even their own terms. They
still banker after Southern Confederacy, and will
foster instead of cndeavoring to allay excitement
among the Southern people. We have from the be-
ginning, believed il futile TO prccrastnate with such
men. The only appropriate of conduct, is
such na was adopted by Gen. Jackson, under smilar
and such is proposed by Benton
now.
The mass If the people. South. have vetoed the
Nashville Convention bat the leaders de,erHn-
ed not to 'gve ii up So" and therefore will attempt
to operate upon them By other means. The "Wash-
ingtou Union'' may thus resp jus, reward for
daring consider the Union as even Sc ond IN con-
sequence to Slavery.

Mr.. Clay's report from the committee Of thirteen,
was made to-day. The committee deserve great
credit for their anxious desire ano houesl efforts 10
effect an adjustment. They have certainly succeeded
IN presenting a scheme That will with the ap-
probation Of an overwhelming majority of the Ame-
people. The bills reported free from OBJ

tions which are urged against them. The Report it,
sell Is very able document, and is well calculated
to produce strong impression on the public mind.
Five members of the committee, if six,
opposed to portions Of the views Of the report

Besides the boundary of California. there other

sword was still held over the South. Then, again,
they are not satisfied with the fugitive slave BILL
Mr.. Yuiee said he would characterize the Report
in the words of liberal and conservative paper of
the Norih-the Journal Of Commerce. The same
scheme presented in fhe speech of the Senator
from Kentucky, on which the Journal commented.
MIR. Yulee read the paragraph complimentary to Mr..
Clays speech to which Is added the following :-''If
the South accept the compromise, the North ought
not to hesitate 10 lake it. The North will get the
