FLOURNOY'S RESOLUTIONS

We publish to-day the joint resolu-
tions on the compromise subject, intro
duced into the House of Representa-
tives by Maj. Flournoy of Desha county.
Although they have met the condemna-
ton of both journals at the capital we
believe that in the main, they embrace
the views of large majority of the peo-
pie of the State, and would, if placed di-
rect:y before them, meet their unquali-
fed appreciation.
We are not of those who believe that
the South has been injured by the pass
age of the compromise measures, but on
the contrary, we are honestly of the i'm
preston, that the benefit she will de-
rive under the provisions of the fugitive
slave act. will more than counterbalance
all the injury she has sustained by the
enactment of these laws,-and that, un-
der the circumstances which existed a.;
the time of their passage, all that could
have reasonably been. expected. was en-
bsAced in them-consequently as an
humble individual of this great confed-
eracy. we have no hesitancy in tender
ing our acknv wledments to the wise
and patriotic statesmen, by whose un,
firing efforts and devotion they were en-
acted. We entertain every confidence
i'll the permanency of the fugitive slave
act. We believe that the wise and pat
rioiic counsefs of those who assisted in
placing it upon the statute book of the
nation, will prevail even at the North,
and that our northern brethren, will
strictly coAply with the constitutional
obligations guaranteed by its enactment.
Should it prove otherwise however, the
resolutions point out the course Arkan-
sas, and the other Southern States,
should pursue.
To the resolution relative to the SO
called dismemberment of Texas, we
can see no objection. We believe that
under then existing circumstances the
passage of the act was prudent, wise and
salutary, and served to prevent that
whieh seemed almost unavoidable-a
collision between the United States and
Texas. By it the South lost nothing
worth quibbling about, and as Texas
has expressed, in the most decided man.
ner her appreciation of the measure. we
do not see any just cause why we should
withhold our assent, or by what au:hor-
ty we can constitute ourselves the guar
dams of the State most interested.
: In some of the principal cities of the
North, the people have held large and
enthusiastic meetings, and expressed
their acquiescence Ia, and appreciation
of the questions Of adjustment. and we
have no doubt, the thinking portion of our
Northern brethren, and they constitute
large majority. will act in good faith
towards the South That there has
been some dissatisfaction among the fa-
natics is nothing more than was antici-
pated, but that public opinion in the
North, on the slavery question, is under
going favorable change, is equally cer-
tain We, therefore, as matters stand,
cannot see the improperly of adopting the
resolutions. They breathe the true spirit
"a spirit of kindness and devotion to the
Union, which we trust will meet the APP
probation of the Legislature. as it doubt
less does that OF the people of the State.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE That spirited
paper. the Parkersburg Gazette. pays the
following just tribute to our truly national
President:
MiLiard FHIm0re-As the rock re-
ssts, unmoved, tine heavy surges Of old
ocean when lashed by the storm, so firm
" stands our noble President amid the
tempest of frantic and fretful calumny
which has been heaped upon him because
of his approval Of recent National Legis
lation. Both North apd South, we mean
the ultras of both SECTIONS, berate him
for approving the various measures-thus
proving, pretty clearly, that this course
was right aud proper. But what we
wish to call TO mind, now, is the doubt
which some one entertained o: Mlllard
Fillmore's orthodoxy on the slavery ques-
tion. Where are those doubts! Has he
not galantly stood by "his country, his
whole country, nothing but his country?"
This nation was never blessed with
more national chief magistrate.
And never will be, (exclaims the Rich
mond Republican, No man born, edu-
Gated and having all his interests in one
section, could have acted with more
rigid Justice 10 other sections than has
Millard Fillmore He made no profess
sions before the election of being
Northern man with Southern principles"
he was not profuse in pledges. but left
it to his deeds TO proclaim his real char
acter. The result has shown him a true
American patriot gentleman, in whom
sections and men can alike have conf
dence, aud whom the South, as well as
the North. may as safely trust with Exc
cutive power as any Southern man ever
born.

The position or site of the work is necessarily
local, but its utility is general ship canal
around the Falls of ST. Mary, of less than azmile
in length, though local in its construction, yet is
national in it's purposes and benefits, as it would
remove the only obstruction TO the navigation Of

Canada. So, too, the breakwater at the mouth
of the Delaware, is erected, lot for the exclusive
benefit Of the States bordering on the bay river

for want of sufficient depth of water, it is very
likely to be Northern ship; and if a steamboat be
