Abolitionist who hopes from the dissolution

hoping and expecting that the institution OF
slavery cannot be safely and wisely admin
istered by a people who for a hundred years
have made it subservient to their interest
and happiness, is utterly mistaken. There
never has been any nation whose security
would be more assured than that of the
Southern States of this C~onfederacy. For

gether within by the strongest ties OF inter-
ests and congeniality of sentiment welded
together from without by calumny and op-
position, hat spirit of devoted patriotism

nal principle of national glory and national

for them. When, in the history of the
world, has it been ever known that a ma
ton possessing the wealth, intelligence,
civilization, and strength of the Southern
States of this Confederacy, was found in
competent to control its slaves! Ancient
States stood secure, though similarity of
races tended to confound the distinctions
of conditions, and weaken and endanger
the authority Of the matters. Greece ell
lIghtened and Rome conquered the world,
resting their organization polity upon this
institution of slavery. We are in no dam
ger. We are fearless of the result, and can,
with unterrified front, look upon the coming
danger, lower it ever so darkly. Ofthis, too,
| am sure if there are those who seek to
retain us in this Union with purposes of
deadly hostility to our institutions, who cry
aloud for its preservation in the spirit of him
who saying: cart thou in health, my broth

great, but we have not, nor have ever had,
any doubt as to the ability of the South TO
sustain herself trinmphantly in case OF q sep.
aratlon. She possesses within herself all
the elements of national prosperity. The
character OF her climate, productions, her
peculiar institutions. and the happy, the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. disposition of her
people, all announce her Independence of
the whole world. She is a mistress; and
has more and more, Submissive slaves than

who toll in cotton mills. We have nothing
to fear from extreme measures; we stand
upon a firm foundation; assuring ourselves

IRON OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE


AShiNH lONj July chhj lCCO'
The compromise bill, otherwise called the
Omnibus Bill, has been despaired of by its
most sanguine friends. This is made appa-
rent by the remarks of Mr.. Clay on Thurs.
day last, who charged its defect to a~factious
opposition.
Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee, who was, at one
time, calculated on as a friend of the bill, is
now opposing it with all his power, he con-
tends that the bill, now before the Senate, is
not in fact a compromise, though it has the
name.
MIR. Clay, who considered himself as the
exponent of the views of the committee
who reported the bill, contends, on the 9TH
er hand, that the bill now before them is a
compromise, because the bill restraints legis-
lation on the subject of slavery, until the
territory to be thereby offered shall be adj
mitted into the Union as a State, and Sec
ondly, that it would settle forever the ques-
ton of boundary between Texas and New
Mexico.
Mr.. Bell contended that the Missouri
Compromise was particularly the line of SO
deg. 30 min. through 10 the Pacific, but the
same in spirit and effect would be looked
upon by the South as Il compromise of this
agitating question.
1t is now the prevailing opinion that the
compromise now before the Senate must
fail in that body, but admitting, for the sake
OF argument, that it will pass the Senate, it
never was thought for q moment by those
who are most competent to Judge, that it
could, by any possibility, pass the House.
The attention OF our public mind-is, how
ever, divided between this topic and the pro-
liabilities of a war with Spain, on ac.
count of the refusal Of that government to
deliver up the "Contoy Prisoners" when de-
mauded by our Counsel. This is, not of it
self, in my opinion, a sufficient cause for
war with that country, but it may lead to
something that would justify our taking up
arms to protect our citizens from oppression.
This, however, is not the only military de-
monstration which absorbs the public atten-
ton, for it is reported hat Texas has deter.
mined to maintain her claim to her bounda.
ries she has worked out for herself by force
of arms, having ordered a large force to the
Territory of New Mexico. to march in less
than six weeks from this time.
Should anything serious grow out of these
two last named que ons, it will most pro-
badly direct the attention of Congress from
the slavery question, to enacting such meas
ures as will secure domestic harmoau, be-.
tween Texas and the remainder of the Uni
ted States, and vindicate our national char
actsr abroad, by classifying any power who
shall dare to violate the rights Of u citi-
Zens.
On yesterday, Mr.. Foote delivered an adj
dress at the Washington Monument"
which is spoken Of as adding another laurel
to the reputation of that gentlemen; breath.
ing throughout a spirit Of patriotism, which
always characterizes a true patriot.
