The late oilhe committees plan Of COM
pronise, we regret to say i quite doub tul.
The vehement OppoSlinu which WIS avoW, d
! BY eight Southern Senator's aS snon as the
rradiag OF lerrport WAS fini, he'd indicates
That the III 'jorlll ia tn SENATE for the plan
OF the com uIltee will be vrry small even il
there BE- any 1T all. And it the Opposition

the PllI OF the report will PROFESSIONALLY be
defeated III that event. we DO not believe
any compromise at all can be agreed Oh by
the two houses beyond that suggested in the
Presidents California message, which u.l-
douhily rsigltt,s ground upon which all
who "fc Friendly 70 fj1e Uiiioa, can meet and

alike by the ultra men OF tie. South and the

No Northern man need fear 10 face his cor
s'itlleiitS Tor approving il om1rOulse which
is denounced by The ultra South lis ii conces-

man needs ANY other justification for his AL

port and bills of the Committee of Thirteen
relieves their plan from any suspicion Of MI
fair less toward amy section. The resistance
