The Reason Why.

The New York Tribune explains the reason
why ii and its politieo-Abolition friends "ac
quiesce," for the present. in the "peace mea
sures." The cry of the compromisers that the
bill will not be repealed, and that therefore "oul
Northern friends" are actuated by returning
sense of justice, is all rigmarole-and they know
it, as well as Senator SEWARD or the TriLun'
do. The Tribune says:
at is the truth that the Fugitive slave law is
obnoxious here, whenever 1t is attempted to be
enforced, Gas General Cass and his friend BUEI
can bear witness,) and that, if the South were
to really hunt up and arrest even half the fugi.
tives now living in the free States, not twenty
members would be chosen from all the free
States, not positively pledged to vote for that

its existence may be endured, and no longer"

the Fugitive slave law, and n Washington letter

What Kind of Union is needed

The Huntsville (Ala) Democrat, one of the
ablest Democratic papers published in the South
west thus shows up to its quondam ally, the
Union, the inconsistency of its practice and pro-
fessions.
The facts so strongly arrayed in proof Of the
assertion that to Southern agitation" alone is
due the respite given to the South by the agta-
tors, cannot be controverted or parted by our
polite politicians, with contingent remedies and
sliding utimatums.
what the South most wants is union-union
in herself-to command the respect of the fa-
natcs and the confidence of the North-to save
the Union ofOur country Washington Union.
We clip the above from an editorial of the
Washington Union Of the Sd inst. We agree
in the position assumed: it is union we want
and If the /" Union" had practised rs well as
preached the doctrine, we should have teen in
much better condition at present
The effect and influence Of u united 'front.' on
the part of the South was manifested when the
Southern members Of Congress, without dis
tinction Of party, met to resist the introduction
of abolition petitions some fifteen or sixteen
years ago, and adopted, Cor rather desired to
demand the adoption of the celebrated 2lst
Rule, by which all discussion, or debate, or even
reference to any committee, of any petition, me-
mortal, or other paper, or document, touching
the subject of slavery, was forbidden Owing
to such united action, the agitation of the sub
ject of slavery was almost wholly suppressed
for eight or ten years-and we had comparative
quiet and safety.
Again On the adoption of the infamous
Colt resolution, instructing the Committee an
the District of Columbia to bring in bill to
abolish slavery therein, the Southern members
met in the Senate chamber to take counsel to-
gether, and adopted the celebrated "Southern
Address," setting forth Il truthful history of
Northern aggressions on Southern rights. The
mere meeting, with apparent unanmity, not only
had the effect of arresting any further progress
in that attempted outrage, but induced the
Ncrtheru ma ority to reconsider that resolution
and retrace their steps. But even then. the
course taken by the patriotic men of the South
was deprived Of half its influence by the recre.
| ancy of certain Southern members, who re-
fused to sign it. If the North could be made
to believe that the South was united in the de.
termination to resist aggression, we might save
our constitutional rights and enjoy them in
peace and quiet-but while every effort to dc
this is met by the opposition Of the "Union'
and its co-laborers, and denunciations of ultraS
disunionists, and similar epthets, are applied 10
the patriotic men, who make eXertons to bring
| about such union, we have little to hope for
| Nobody believes that We shall ever secure "the
| respect Of the fanatics," or "the confidence .
the North" by submission.

Colonel Baker, of Illinois, formerly n Wing
member of Congress, has been engaged fo'
some weeks in enlisting men for Messrs: How.
land e. Aspinwall of New York, to work upon
the Panama railway. We understand that seve
raj hundred have been employed in this city, and
have already taken their departure A rumor
was af,oat Saturday evening and yesterday, that
these men were enlisted for another Cuban ex-
petition. We are inclined to think this was a
mistake, although we have no doubt the projec-
tors of the former expedition yet entertain
the purpose of getting up another one so soon
as they can find the means and appliances.-M

~" Articles like the following, which we ex-
tract from the Eufaula (Ala) Spirit ofhhe South,
speak language which must make the old
party spoilsmen shake in their shoes.
The people of this country have long enough
been made the pawns of desperate political
gamblers-and they are evidently indisposed to
form any new Union parties, for the renewal of
the same game.
NATIONAL CoNvESTIoSs.-There is one re-
commentator of the Southern Convention at
least which seems likely to be observed by the
Southern peope-that which warns them
against any further connection with national
conventions where presidential nominations are
every four years knocked down to the highest
bidder. The old parties are so thoroughly bro
ken up, and scattered, that oil the legerdemain
of the politicians, sharpened by the hope Of no.
tional spells cannot restore them. The nc

ilous Voyage--Passengers three days at The
Pumps-Danlage 10 he Vessel, dc.
We are indebted to Brantz MAYER, of this
city, who came p ssenger in the Ohio, for the
following account of the perilous passage OF
the Ohio, and her arrival at Norfolk -
The u S. Mail Steamer Ohio arrived at Nor.
folk yesterday, after most perious voyage
from Havana. On leaving that port last Wednes-
day week, an accident happened t" her ma
chinery, which detained her day in the harbor,
whence she departed on Thursday, with the per-
feet use of only ore Of her engines. She was
full of passengers, and among them was the
Hon. Reverdy Johnson, and a number Of other
gentlemen well known in the country.
On quitting the port Of Havana it was soon
noticed by those skilled in marine life, that the
Ohio was but badly prepared to encounter the
risks Of winter approach to our Northern
shores. Her single operative engine was, in all
likelihood, unequal to the task Of encountering
the violent storms along those coasts, and her
frai masts and light sails could afford but slender
protection if she We're forced to ''lay to" or il
her engine proved useless on lee-shore or in
the open sea.
However, all went fairly and prosperously
until last Sunday night, when the breeze, which
had all day been freshening, rose to Il violent
gale, in the midst of which the engine stopped
on its center, and the ship broached to in the
midst of the tremendous sea that had been al
ready raised by the violent wind Skilful sea-
manship Immediately rescued her for the mo-
ment, but from that hour until the morning of
the 25th December, the Ohio was forced to " lay
to" under the scantiest sail, and to bear tho
brunt of the hurricane.
Her immense size made her manageable by
canvass She lay like log in the trough of the
sen rolling between the walls Of waves that
lowered on either side of her. and threatened
her immediate destruction.
Sad as was the plight of the gallant ship from
these events she was destined to encounter
another danger. On Tuesday morning it was
announced that she had sprung leak, and that
the rising waters had extnguished the fires be-
meath the boilers This dreadful announcement
at once aroused the energies of the passengers,
who manfully organized in bands under the
charge of General Ben amin c. Howard of Bal
timore, and from that moment until she passed
Cape Henry, the Ohio was, under Providence,
by their incessant, but patient labors, together
with those of the officers and crew, enabled
to recover the use Of her engines since the morn
ing of the 25th.
This is but brief and hasty summary Of the
dangers encountered by this noble ship, and is
intended only rs Introductory to correspon-
dence between the passengers and our gallant
friend, Capt J. F. Schcnck of the U. s. Navy,
who commanded her
1--WE omit the correspondence
There were several lady passengers OIL board
the Ohio, but, throughout the perils, their noble
fortitude encouraged and nerved all who were
in condition to labor for the vessels safety.

FIRE PRoor RoPEs.-Professor Johnson. OF

which ropes can be rendered entirely indestruct

simple, and so cheap that the commonest fabri,
can be prepared with it, and its use be made uni
versal. Wood for the lining of safes prepared
by this process possesses perfect resistance t.

Reception of The Lind in Charleston

The Courier thus notices the reception of
Jenny Lind in Charleston.
1t will be seen that the people there were not
as noisy in their demonstrations as they were
further North:
JENNY LIND. 1t will be perceived, by adver-
tisement, that this lady will give three concerts
in this city. The demand for tickets yesterday,
was such as TO Insure full house on Thursday,
her first appearance.
We learn that she was called on yesterday
by number Of ladies', and last evening, at her
lodgings, Charleston HoteD Forest Tree was
placed at her window, decorated with variegated
lamps, which attracted much attention.
While there has been none of the undue ex.
citement that has characterized the progress Of
this lady through other cities, exhbted in Charles
ton, still there is Il great desire on the part OF
our citizens generally, to hear her, and her con-
certs, without doubt, will attract full audience
every night she appears.
