We have anxiously pressed settlement OF the whole
dislractng question Of the dayno California alone or
would now vote for the admission OF California

true constitutional doctrine OF congressional inter
ference with slavery; to give to section OF
Try all the benefits of the acquisition OF new Ter
rories, but TO restore the equality OF the States. and
to enable each to participate in the common bless
ings, il is subject to the common burdens of the
confederacy; to settle the boundaries between Texas
and New Mexico, and thus prevent the collision
|of opinions and the probable clash of arms; to
cognise the right Of Texas under the resolutions Of
nexation, to establish the slavehoding States,
carry Out, by more efficient regulations the guarantees OF
the constitution for the restitution Of fugitive savesn
fact to SETTLE once and for all, BY generous adjust
ment and solemn compact, all the phases Of this dan
geous subject, and thus build up wall Of fire against
those fanatics who attempting sap the foundations
ofthe Union itself We should wish this Compromise to
be lair and liberal the South possible only
because Is .4F gh but because may deprive any
Of the maconsents within her borders Of any preex for
complaint and any for their attacking the Union
itself. When this compact was made should hold all
parts OF the coniederacy solemnly bound enforce
Should the fanatics Of the North attempt overlap it,
then let northern brethren be warned of the conse
quences. The South would trust them again
They could paey compromise again, with
their countrymen who could be capable Vi violating all
good faith in The delicate matter which can concern
The South, and in the only which is calculated
alienae the feelings of each from each ohertO break
up all relations between them, and W must speak the
TRUTH TO break the Union asunder We repeat, have
right to speak this subject because are
known to be the devoted friends OF this glorious Union
but there be Union where dscord only prevails
We repeat, with the Tennesseean, g The UsIox-oniy
under the guarantees Of the constitution But we feel
assured thai this controversy be adjusted in
spirit OF Cancellation and compromise will preserve the
Union from farther agitation, and that the great
majority of northern brethren will protect the
pact from the assaults OF the fanatics
Should the question: then, be settled in spirit OF concil
alion and compromise, trust it will be-and
under firm hope that this solemn compact thus en-
tered into will be strictly obseryed-we shall adop,
that maxim motto, and pledge ourselves TO recon-
mend other compromise, but TO war to The knife
against any who will assai the spirit of the compact
and TO the South against her danger and exhor her
part with her brethren no should be found capable Of
such outrageous breach OF faith Ii is unnecessary
therefore, 10 describe with what Indignation we hear OF
free soilers and abolitionss talking OF repeal-o still
carrying the against slavery at the risk OF dis
solving the Union. Our word for it, such will be the
inevitable result of any serious attempt disturb the
compact We have adisgustng and shameless instance
OF this desperate spirit the part of man whose
father owed the highest honors OF the republic to the
trusting South, and who her confidence BY the
strongest professions Of anpathy TO aboltionism, but
Who because he os the confidence of the South by his
Texas letter in ls44. has ungatefuy turned sgans,
her, violated all his former professions and thrown him
self into the arms OF the soers 1t the demagogue
Of this versatile sire who has dared 10 utter the fol-
lowing threats. They contained in letter which John

FROM such densgogue this the South IS to expect
protection Tor her equality aud rights, and the Union
nothing for il, preservation and stability. We cannot
10 argue this matter with such ogcIan.
But we prefer to rebuke him through the mouth OF
orator who dares speak The precious truths IN
the ears Of his New England friends The following
admirable Grafton delivered b. Cen Caleb Gushing.
