ANOTHER COMPROMISE.

A SoMs
The demonstrations of Northeen sentiment
indicate unerringly that another Compromise
will be forced upon the South at the ensuing
session of Congress The Fugitive Slare1Bil

wood and drawers OF w2tor' in this glorious
and glori6ed Union. As one o; the most pfeg'
nant indications oi what may be expected OF
the Frees"iI majority in Congress, we annex
a portion Of al article from the Philadelphia
American, the Leading Wing paper OF Pennsyl-
vania, in reference to a proposed Union meet
ing to be held in that city:
"There can be no fear Of such a meeting
falling in success, in numbers or enthusiasm;
but we should ask ourselves whether all Is
gained we seek and whether the mischief Is
to be cured and the danger pTevented-by the
simple re.assertion in public meetings of onr
LOYALTY, and the renewal OF our friendship for
the people of the South. There is something
more required it is manifest, than this; and wise
men aud good citizens will be less anxious to
make cheap professions of patriotism than to
remove the real cause Of contention. 1t will
not do to cry peace when there is no peace. or
say we will save the Union and make N" effort
to do SO. To calm excitement we must re.
move or modify the cause. Considering the
immediate outhprst of Indignation that followed
it, and the Wild and dangerous passions begin
ming to be indnlged in, we cannot hope tor el-
ther peace or safety until some change has been
made in the slave law, rendering it less obnox.
ious to Northern ideas and prejudice. ltis up
on this point compromise is needed.
MAS<.cHrsErrS-The openly threatened
violation of the fugitive slave law by the people
of Massachusetts, and in the very heart OF the
"Athens of America" has aroused universal
Indignation mt the South, and excited appre-
tensions for the continuance of the Union.
We yet hope to see the law executed there, BY
the civil posse or the military power if necessary.
As things now stand, we cordially second the
following idea thrown out by the Republican.
Baltimore. which purchases an immense amount
of Massachusetts manufactures, is already dis.
cussing the propriety Of adopting the same
policy.
"We suggest to the friends Of the Sont1
whether the present would not be favorable
opportunity to form associations in Richmond,
Virginia. and the South generally, resolving no
longer to purchase any production of Massachu-
setts labor. Ifsuch course requires any sac.
rifces, we ought to be as willing to make them
as our fathers were in the Revolution. A ped.
ple who are incapable of selfsacrihce do not
deserve to he free. and will sooner or later lose
their independence"
The New York Express properly sketches the
condition of things at Boston. and truly points
out the consequences, rs follows
"The slave case in Boston shows ns that
practical Notification exists in that CITY already.
The act of Congress is virtually nulli6ed.
"Not only is the slave refused to he deliver
ed up,' but the claimant is Tut under $1,000
bonds in slander suit. for calling tae slave
slave.
'sIt is evident that Boston canaat long nal,
lify the laws without reciprocal notification
elsewhere Ifthe Consultation and laws cam"t
be enforced in Boston, they cannot he enfo.r. d
out of Boston for the benefit Of Boston"
New YoRK.-There was t-pmenions mae
ting of Wings at Albany OF Tuesday evening
last of which we find the following &cronnt il
the New York papers:
"'There was tremendous gathering at the
whig Ratification Meeting held at the caoi',l
last evening, and hundreds were forced to leave
not being uble to get in. The capitol was
perfect jam.
Friend Humphrey was. on motion, called to
the chair and enthusiastically received. He
was assisted by large number of Vice presi.
dents and Secretaries
Bon6res burnt at different points on State
street, and in front of the capitol, and music
rang through the beautiful park. The meeting
having been opened, J. K. Porter esq, made
the leading speech, which was just adapt"d to
the occasion-full of spirit, stirring aud eloquent
ia the defence of Wing men and measures.
tie was followed by Mr. G. Morgan, who
was, as usual. very acceptable. During his
remarks he put the question to the meeting,
whether they would consent to be gagged, as
proposed by, one of the resolutions adopt I'd
by the Union meeting in New York City, on
Wednesday evening. The response of "no"
was overwhelming by the most
deatening applause.
