sAoald oppose ii? The very word "Com
promise" employed 10 designate the
character Of the Committee, was in the
very beginning, a clear indication that
some sacrifice was to be made for the
general good. When two men settle a
difficulty by arbitration, each expect
to loose something of his claim, in or
der TO make the settlement final. And
fin the patty matter of a few dollars
and cents, the principle of concession
and sacrifice obtains, IN order to quit a
title or patch up a deputation, how much
greater the necessity in this time, when
not only millions Of property are %involv-
ed, but when the lives, happiness, pros.
perlty and liberty Of thirty States are
al stake? For the sake of humanity
and freedom throughout the world-in
consideration Of the debt Of gratitude
due those who have gone before us,
after having first bequeathed the heri-
lage oflibertv and law forour own happi
ness and the happiness Of millions yet
unborn, we do trust that the people of
this State, and the people throughout the
United States will condescend to view
the position Of public affairs, and more
particularly the question which is now
agitating our national legislature, and
demand at the hands of their represen.
tatives in Congress, a speedy settlement
Of the same. And for one, we are will.
ling to take The Compromise Report,
amended in some points If it can be done,
without defeating The measures therein
but if it cannot be amended
e~ndangering n speedy settle.
ment of the slavery question, we are
to take il as it is, as the best the
South a get. And we call upon all
those who cherish feelings of love and
and affection for the institutions under
which it is their fortune TO live, to make
a "Iong pull, a strong pull and a pull all.
together" for the common good. We
may return to this subject in our next.

Tue COMPROMISE REPORT.

We have read with feelings of pleas.
ure the report Of the majority Of the
Compromise committee, Of which Mr..
Clay was chairman. The selection of
the illusirious Senator from Kentucky.
was but one Of the many evidences OF
the prominent place he occupies in the
feelings and affections of his brother
Senators. His course on the question
o. the admission ol Missouri, and more
recently on tho tariff question which
threatened the secession Of, at least, one
southern State from the Union, Justly
entitled him 70 rank first amongst those,
whose duty it was 10 accept the arduous
TASK Of dlvising some plan 10 heal the
bleeding wounds Of a distracted Repub
tic, and to restore peace and happiness
TO an agltated country. How far sue
cess will crown their effort, or whether
oelea1 is moi the more probable result,
can only be determined by the future =
we see that when it was read in the
Senate, il was opposed by some whose
services, we would have supposed, pa.
trlotlsrn and a desire to settle the ques
ton upon an amicable basis should have
enlisted in its support. But we feaI
that men who twelve months since
would have booted at the idea of seces
sion, can now contemplate, with som
degree Of composure, the possibility O
a dissolution Of the Union. And VIZ
undertake to say that just in proportion
as the settlement Of the slavery question
is postponed just in that proportion viii

HE CUBA QUESTION IN CoNGREss.-It will he
seen by our Congressional report, that a resa-
luton has been introduced into tie Senate
calling upon the President to slate on what au.
thor'y ne has issued orders to the Home Squad-
ron to intercept the %,tties engage. in tne ex-
edition against Cuba. We are not aware of
the tenor OF the laws On the subject or the spe.
cia' authority under which the PRESIDENT acted
but have No. doubt there was full authority for
his orders, or he would not thus have issued
them, and we are confirmed il the opinion BY
the TACT that Mr.. Webster defended and ius,i.
tlfedhis cGuSse, which he would not have done
had he acted out of the pale Of the law. A
further confirlnation is found in the fact thai
the Senate refused TO acl on the resolution,
but laid it on the table.

AS the p%resenrcotton crop appears TO
be very Indifferent, we would like to see
the planters Of this county " no fin that
their cotton is likely 10 prove a failure,
lst: make calculations upon some cor
rect data, TO see if they cannot profit
ably take and work out some stock in
the Railroad, The 5 dollars per share,
Of course they will have to pay down
IN cash, at The time they subscribe; but
the other $95 per share, they can pay
by working their negroes ON the road,
for such the charter allows. As to get.
ting out the post oak timbers for the
road, all must know, that those planters
who live within two, or ever three miles
OF the track, can make much larger wa
ges by getting and hauling the timbers
at 5octs' a stick, than they can at cotton
planting, even if the worms did not de-
stroy their cotton, and in this way pay
the remaining S95 per share of their
stock But with regard to digging on
the road we presume, the cotton planter
oil Madison are generally, like ourselves,
less experienced, and have but little re.
liable data upon which to make the ne.
cessary calculations as to how much
work a hand could do ina day, and wha'
prices would be given or allowed FOL

investigate the matter fully, they car

purposes, upon which to base all needfu
calculations, and we doubt NOT, they will
find hat they can, with the exception o
the first FIVE dollars cash payment pc

without materially interfering with thei.
cotton crops. And even il it did inter

all eyes are turned and the leader Of the
desperate enterprise now on foot, for the
purpose Of r%ev0luuonizing Cuba, is, it is stated
a South American by birth, a Creole. and not n
Castlllian. In the civil war which ragged in
the Spanish South American provinces, when
only at the age OF fifteen years, he Ielt COM
PEELED to take up arms, and acquired a high
reputation as q soldier. Cuba became his
country OF adoption and marriage. While
Senator OF the Kingdom, he studied closely the
colonial policy OF Spain. The repulse of the
Cuban deputies fred him with a resolution ia
become the liberator of Cuba and to devote his
lie to the object. He resorted to various meth
ods to make himself known, and to gain per,
sonal popularity with the county people for
The purpose Of preparing them for a rising in
favor Of Independence. His enthusiasm in this
matter awoke the jealousy of the Spanish goy>
eminent, and forced him to fee from the Is
land, He now returns to try the issue with
them. He bears a high character for skill and
intrepidiry.

day, and 5 negroes would dig 1850
square, or solid feet in the same time
These NEGRO men then by working
only twenty days in each month, would
dig in twelve months $4,000 solid or
square f., and in wenty months or less,
$4,000 square, or solid feet, making in
20 months, a volume of clay one quarter
ofa mile long, 20 feet broad, and 90 feet
deep; or a ditch a quarter ola mile long,
20 feet deep, and % feet wide at the
bottom. We then ask, if any of the
planters think it probable that the road
would average that much digging per
mile? lfa planter was to take a mi e Of
e%xcavuting AT $500, and it actually re-
CURED $4,000 square feet of clay 10 be
removed, would he not make more than
$2O0a year per hand, as he would be
allowed for every foot o. embankment?
Now we suggest, that after The road
is surveyed and located, that 80 stlkes
should be driven down, between each of
which, regardless of their distances a.
part, an equal number Of solid feet Of
embankment, and equal number Of solid
square feet for excavation, allowing for
the difference of digging clay, gravel,
rock &C., so as to make each Of the 80
ots,or sections contain, by accurate sci.
entlic and mathematical tests, as nearly
equal as possible, and requiring the same
amount Of labor to each lot or section, Of
excavation and embankment. II this
were already done, we have but little
doubt that the cotton planters, who must
make a very short crop Of cotton this
year, would take the stock, some taking
a quarter of a lot, some a half, some
three-quarters, others a whole lot, and
the large planters from two to ten sec
