The wise men and statesmen congregated here,
are asking each other what is TO be donel The
defeat of the Compromise was a bad move, and
those who contributed 10 its defeat and are yet pa
iriotic, begin 10 the error they have committed.
They that something must be done, and that
speedily, or il viii be too late! The news from
Texas, brought by Colonel Howard, fourteen days
from Austin, looks squally. Fifteen hundred troops
had been voluntarily organized 10 march To Santa
Fe, and TO hold il, in spite OF the United States
troops and the military governor there They had
sent TO General Rusk, ofthe United States Senate,
10 come and command them, and they had been

Their r. aiment had been raised. The Texans here
all say that there will be fighting unless Col Mon
roe, with the United States troops under him, shall
speedily eyacuate Santa Fe.
MS state OF lBlnHs-tne well known wish OF the
country that the Compromise Should be passed by
COnEress-and the general wish Of all patriotic
men that the vexed slavery question should be set
tied and put 10 rest, and the abolitonists of the
North and dsunionists Of the South put down, may
induce Senators to remoddle Compromise, in sin
gle or connected bills, similar TO the defeated one,
and carry il through both houses right away. In
deed, MIR. Pearce, as an atonement for his late
tTaoIdinary and obstinate conduct, proposes to
bring forward proposition to- prov, TO give New
Mexico a territorial government, and TO settle the
boundary between that territory and the State of
Texas, which promises TO secure the APPRECIATION
and support Of The Texas Senators and majority
Uftne Senate. If successful then California may
be admitted, and thus all the passengers in Mr..
Gays Omnibus will be carried safely through,

1t is time that something patriotic should be done
by the Senate on this subject. Look for mo-

I GLORIOUS PENNSYLVANIA,

The Dsmocrssysof Philadelphia County and City
held Meeting at the Chinese Museum, on the 22d
Instant. at which strong and sound Resolutions in IA
vor Of an adjustment Of the Slavery question, were
adopted amid great enthusiasm. The Pennsylva-
nian, edited by the able and true-hearted Forney,
gives an eloquent description Of the scene. We re-
gret that have no room for these Resolutions at
length to-day, but shall publish them hereafter.
The following, among others, were adopted:
'' Resolued That we call upon our State Legislature
repeal all laws conflicting with that section of the
constitution of the United States in regard the
titution Of fugitive slaves, that the fundamental OBJ
hgat'on binding upon every citizen g the Union, and
the Aa0 Of Congress passed to carry It into effect, may
no longer be set at defiance, and the rights of our south
ern brethren tramped under foot
Resolued, That the same political necessity which
required the formation of the Union, notwithsand-
ing the existence of the institution of slavery the
time in nearly every State, still demands the contin-
uance OF the Union, Notwithstanding the existence of
slavery in only one-half of the States now compo-
sing it.
Resolred, That the sole hope of the negro race in
the southern States, in respect their eventual
anclpatlon from slavery rests upon faithful observ
ance OF the conditions and compromises of the
Sitution of the Union and that the reckless schemes
and measures of the abolition and free-so parties
fast uniting) directly calculated 10 perpetuate
slavery on this continent in its harshest form
Resolued That, in the opinion of this meeting, the
subject of negro slavery, in its bearing the Union
does admit Of adjustment, and should be speedily set
tied forever, fair just, and constitutional arrange
ment between the slaveholdng and non-slaveholding
States"
We hail with profound satisfaction this burst of
light from the ancient City of Philadephia-the
birth-spot of the Union itself. If Pennsylvania be
what Philadelphia has shown herself, and if other
Northern States will but follow her example, the
Union will be saved and the South shielded from deg
radiation and dishonor. May Heaven grant it
This, then, from Buchanan's State. What Whig
State or Whig City will speak next! Where is
