RATHER VISIONARY.

The Washington Republic quotes few stats
tics, showing that there has been some falling of
in the foreign immigration to this country. this
year, as compared with that of last year, and it
infers from this decreased masket for labor--a
depression in the industrial pursuits among us.
Little weight is 70 be, attached ~ sDoh -.aeor.
ing. Immigration to our shores depends upon
causes inherent in the condition of the Old World
as well as the New--causes permanent In their
operation, and affected only to limited extent BY
the state of the markets, the vcissitudes Of
the seasons, or other transient circumstance
Great distress among the laboring classes abroad
or political troubles, at times swell the living
tide, which, nevertheless in the absence of these
disturbing circumstances, still rolls on, from the
force of natural causes, ever deepening and wi.
dening
The emigration from the United kingdom
during the ten years ending December 81. 1916
amounted to $50 1872 persons-being an average
of $500 emigrants year. During the years
ls47 and ls4s, the numbers were, respectively,
25s,2 7o, and 24sOs9. During the year is4s
emigration had reached, in round numbers
100000, Of whom 2l9 450 came to the United
States Can any man dream that it was the diff.
ference in the state Of the labor market in this
country, that determined the difference in the
amount of emigration in these several years 2
The year is4s, owing to the political oons~s-kaas
OF Europe, the disturbance of INDUSTRIAL pursuits
the shortness of crops in some Of the preceding
years, &C. was one Of unprecedented emigration.
These circumstances having to great extent
ceased to operate there is slight falling off in
the foreign immigration.
That is the explanation of fact, which the
Repnbfic tortures into an evidence Of the depres-
sion of the labor market of this country.

NO COMPACT.

awe would not vote for the admission of Cal
ifornia per Sc bat We waive all our objections to
the measure, If it can be made part Of a system
of compromise to give peace TO the Republic
The Compromise prostrates the Wilmot Proviso,
the most insidious form which Abolitionsm has
ever assumed, and the most fatal to the South
for this Compromise organizes Territorial GOV.
ernments for Utah and New Mexico, without any
restriction on slavery. OF course there is an ex-
press understanding that il is to be a solemn com.
pact, binding upon the North as well as the
South; and that If this system is hereafter to be
disturbed by the influence Of fana,icism-if the
grcssest violation of good faith il to be added TO
the violence Of sggression-the South will then
be prepared 70 cay that she can no longer put
faith in our Northern brethren, and that it will
be time to part"- Washington U,ion
OF course, there is no such understanding
The Compromise bill, if passed, will be no com.
pact at all--but, law, repealable like other
statutes. Who authorized the editor Of the Union
to pledge the faith of the two sections of the coun-
try TO the maintenance Of such Lawl He
speaks for himself, and nobody else, except it be
the triumvirate, Clay, Csss, and Webster
compact Does not the Union know that
the motion to constitute Committee of Compro-
mise was carried by the Slaveholding members of
the Senate, with the aid of some half dozen
Northern Senators, against the votes Of the non
slaveholding Senators that the members of
the Committee could never have been chosen, had
not one or two Of its opponents volunteered their
votes out Of courtesy Does he not know that
such q measure never could originate In the
House; that in that body there ia at least ma

Of California by itself, without association with
other questions that, il ever the Compromise bill

the conscientious opinions Of clear majority 7
And vet such bill is to be herslded as "a SOL
emn compact binding upon the North As well as
the South - and when, hereafter, the People of
the North shall instruct their Representatives to
surround the Territories with the guarantees of
the Ordinance Of 1897, as they win certainly do,
then they are to be stigmstized as truce-break-
ere, guilty Of bad faith, and the tocsin Of dis
union is to be sounded by the Washington Union,
II is not in the power of the Triumvirate or it's
organ TO impose upon the good sense of the Peo-
pie any such Aummery as this. What Con.
gress can do, II oan undo. Its laws are not the
laws Of the Modes and Persans There is but
one compact to which all sections Of this Union are
parties, by which they are solemnly bound-thst
Ia the Constitution. Congress is q law-makine,
not a compact or tresty-making body. Repre-
sentatives are elected by the People, to pass laws
in pursuance Of the one original compact-the
Constitution-not to make compacts supplement
