was found to work to admiration and mechanical
precision rejecting the utmost credit onthe skill
and experience OF all employed in their erection.
The operation OF the mighty hummer IS, OF itself
worthy OF a visit to this establishment; and We
think it only necessary for the consumers IN TINS

having a very decided opinion of his own re-
speeding the Fugitive Slave Law and some other

Medals TO the Palmetto Neri-
HlteHnt.

we were yesterday favored with an in.
spection OF The medals voted by our Leg
'slature tn the Palmetto Regiment. In
carrying out the views Of The Legislature
Gov. Seabrook entrusted the order 90
Mcssrs. Gregg, Hayden and Co with the
direction that The work should be executed
IN tins city. In accordance with this di.
rection, the dies were cut at lhair estab.
lIshnent, by Mr. WIN. Keenan,, being, so
lar as we know, the first work OF the kind
ever executed ln the State.
The medals are Of gold and silver, and
massive IN their appearance. Upon the
iacc is vivid and striking representation
OF The landing OF the Palmetto Regiment
nj Vera Cruz. The gallant Col. Butler
has already leapcd from the boat, and viii,
impetuous enthusiasm is melting his com
mand onward. The standard bearer Of tho
regiment, in the bow of the boat, catching
the spirit OF his commander, turns TO his
comrades, who respond to his remarks
with shouts. Upon the shore is seen troops
forming in columns, and in the distance
boats approaching The shore filled with sol.
diers. Still further in the distance may
be seen the American fleet engaged in the
cannonade of the Fortress OF San Juan
d'uiloa. Around The rim is Inscribed
Vera Cruz: Conireras. Churubusco:
Chaputepec Garcia dc Bc,en." ra
The reverse OF the medal presents the
Palmetto tree, with Two shields beneath,
ono inscribed with "l3i6," the other
lSi7," bning The dates Of the achieve
men.s OF the Regiment. Over the ralmei-
to is the American eagle Above, on the
inner circle of The rim, ara fb, ,,a,nea of

The Compromise.

The report of tho Committee Of thirteen,
was received just before our las, issue went
to press: and we published therein. rcca-
pi,mat!on OF their views and recommends
tons.
We regret that tho Committee was ever
raised, for we arc not aware that there is
any matter relating 10 the slavery question
which Congress has the power to colnpro-
mise. We Of the South, clniIn our rights
under the Constitution, and do not think
those rights doubtful. The power of Con-
greSs is TO carry into effect the provisions
OF that instrnmcnt-not to modify it, or to
compromise rights which iarty is clearly
ondiled to under it. If any compromise is

lnnnncr,--by al amendment 10 The Const

nave Como idlfh, Notwithstanding the doc
time of Mr. SEWARD. tha, constitutional
provisions arc not binding upon frco-soicrs;
Tor that is The amount of his doctrine.
we have objections also, TO the particular
recommendations of The Committee. We
do moi ,hirk California has any claim what
soavcr. 10 be admitted at present, as State,
INTO this Union. Let n census of her inbab-
itanls be first regularly takcn-n Constiiu-
ton be adopted by n Convention properly
called, and then, if the number of her inj,nb.
i'ants be sufficient, with proper boundaries,
We do not perceive that any legitimate OBJ
Jccii"n could be urged to her adtnission.-
The declaration that Congress is bound by
the compact with Texas to ndni, into the
Union, one or more States, formed out of
her territory, is to say the least of il. susp;-
c'"ns, and is certainly altogether nnncces-
sary Such declaration cannot add in the
slightest degree, to tho binding obligation of
the compact. Congress is now bound by il,
and II she intrids honestly and in good faith
I" perform II ON her part, the less she SAYS
about her intention the better. An honest
man never finds ii necessary to publish TO
The world that he intends to perform his
contracts. The recommendation which in
moral point OF view, has features the most
Objectionable, is the Fifth; for i, cannot bc
disguised that, under the prctcncc OF estab
fishing the Western and Northern boundary
OF Texas, the real object is to deprive her.
without her consent, OF portion of her ter.
riiory.
