Horace Greeley,

Several papers OF the day have named Mr.
Greeley as a candidate for the Presidency
We do not believe that he would accept the
nomination IfteRdered 10 him, even ifconnect-
ed with it there we're a reasonable probabIi-
ty of his election. One ofhis city eotempo-
raries truly remarked of him a year and a
hall ago, when named fer an Office" Alas
they don't know Horace; for If they did, they
would also know that the Presidency itself
would be hardly sufficient to coax him from
his SdRctUnl S0Rct0ruDI at the corner OF
Spruce street and Nassau. 1t is there alone,
with a tankard of his beloved Croon at his

Cheering indications.

The papers of the South approve of all
the leading features of the compromise ofthe
committee of thirteen. A solitary journal
here and there may be found arrayed against
the plan, but they are few and far between.
In New Orleans every Wing, Democratic
and neutral paper with one exception, favors
the project. The hostility to the measure
offered by the Senators of Virginia, has been
severely rebuked by the papers Of that State,
and the said Senators have thought it wise
10 cool their breath of opposition. The Rich
mond Enquirer, the ablest Democratic paper
in the State, and the Richmond Wing, the
time honored organ Of the Wing party, unite
in giving the compromise an earnest and use
ful support The press Of Georgia is almost
unanimous in behalf of It's adoption. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Florida, Texas and Mis-
souri, send up their voices favoring the meas
ure; and throughout the entire South I'VE
believe the friends Of the compromise will far
out number its enemies. In Louisiana it is
said that a single print only, offers opposi-
ton. From our own State nothing less could
have been expected than that she would ad-
vocate any honorable measure calculated to
settle the dIscord of the country. She has
ever been jealous and patriotic in her at
tachment to the Union, has ever been fore
most in approaching its character and main
tang its integrity. Then if the people SO
universally favor the adoption of the compro-
mise, why do so many Of their Representa-
tives in Congress Sc bitterly oppose it?-
They were elected to the honorable and re
sponsible stations they occupy, to declare
and carry out the wishes of the people. In
stead of doing this, many of them are labor
ing in direct opposition to the wants Of lhe
constituents. This they cannot do with i'm
punity, but will bring upon themselves the
whitening contempt of an insulted people.
Appearances at present seem TO Indicate ;
passage of the compromise bill. The voic
Of the people has been heard in its behalf
and is producing a change in the characte
of its opposition. We look upon matters a
they now present themselves, as cheering t
every lover Of the Union-as prognostcs c
an early passage of the compromise bill.
