II messrs Morse and Colt.
Samuel z. B. Morse esq, the inventor OF the magno
electric telegraph and Col Samuel Colt the inventor of
the revolving pistol both inventions OF great merit
fleeing honor upon the country OF their BIRTH have
ceived splendid presents from the munifcent Sultan Of
Turkey tokens Of his appreciation Of their brilliant
inventions When those valuable tokens passed the
house of their native couatry, these gentlemen
were each taxed several hundred dollars Duty in order
to enable them to possess the high testimonials Of
q monarch's estimation Of their respective inven-
tons which had been rendered to them. We are
are aware that strict Interpretation Of the laws
required the imposition OF the duty but think
that the exacon approved of by single citizen of
the United States. II certainly spectacle not very
pleasing American citizen, proud of the honor won
by his ingenious counuymen from foreign governments
to see his government laying hold Of those honora-
bic testimonials, for the purpose Of getting few hun
dred dollars into the national treasury Therefore,
we do not doubt that it will accord with the unanimous
voice Of the American people. il Congress shall pass
law authorizing the repayment to Messrs Morse and
Colt of the duties paid by them the presents which
they have received from the Sultan We glad see
the matter introduced in the Senate by the honorable
senator from Texas, Gen. Rusk. and shall be gafed
act passed authorizing the reundng of the du
ties collected on the Sultan's mun6cent presents
We understand, from an unquestonable source, that
the extraordinary article in Tuesdays Richmond En-
qurer concerning the compromise was not written by
either of its editors II is from the pen OF who had
no right to write article on that important question,
which substantially stufed its real editor and changed
the tack Of the ship which that editor had wisely
placed it, We will not give vent to the indignant feel
ings which such conduct is calculated TO inspire The
senior editor Of the Enquirer had insisted upon certain
notifications Of "the compromise" and has determined
to take il the best alternative in his power He is
persuaded that the Missouri compromise could not be
obtained, and he willing to go for the basis OF the adj
ustment Of the Committee OF Thirteen, 10 obtain some
equivalent for the inevitable admission OF California and
to give peace TO his country
The article ia the Enquirer is full Of blunde II ens
about the geographical boundaries OF Texas Il pleads
the resolutions Of the Virginia legislature as binding the
senators TO vote against the compromise because propo-

the last resolutions Of the Virginia legislature in Februa-
ny last. had desgnedy changed the resolutions Of 40 in
that respec as appears from the proceedings Of both
houses Of the Legislature. This last omend article in
the Enquirer insists upon the Missouri compromise the
only remedy to save the South, when there no mmed
ate probability Of its passing Congress.
Let the opponents Of the compromise chuckle over this
article whilst they may. We have no question that the
editor Of the Enquirer win do justice to himself. as well

may delay this explanation for few days. though bis
