COMPROMISE BILL.

Henry Clay has made another powerful
effort in favor of the report of the commit
Tee OF thirteen Mr.. Downs of Mississippi,
has come out in its favor. He was mem
Der of the committee, and on the day OF its
report to the Senate, spoke in opposition to
it. This change in his course may be con-
sidered as indicative Of The policy 10 be
pursued by the southern members. Ap-
pearances are certainly favorable to the
passage OF the bill. The people are anxious
ly, we can not say patiently, awaiting some
action on the part of Congress. They
should do something. Suspense is chilling
in its consequences to all kinds Of business.
After this everlasting subject is disposed of
we may look for some alteration in the ta-
riff. We hope the wings, for their own
sakes will come up to their mark. If the
result is beneficial we don't care what par.
ty accompishes it.

THE NIILIONIAN.

We cannot condescend to hold contro-
versy with the Mitonan. Its columns
have been SO long opened to, and the sport
OF boys and unprincipled scribblers, that it
can harm no one, except those who have
it in charge. We expected, we confess,
better things on the return OF the senior
editor. The vapid efiusions of the boy du-
ring the winter, were certainly curioSities,
in their way and where they failed to ex-
cite disgust by their stupidity, they We're
sure to cause smile by their absurdties.
Ifnature was niggardly in supplying him
with brains, she at least was generous and
bountilul in filling the vacuum with conceit
and inordinate vanity.

THE GAZETTE,

We feel that we owe our readers an
apology for having already devoted too
much space to the editor Of the Gazette,
whose code Of ethics sits so loosely upon
him that he can readily make an assertion
one week and contradict it in the next. In
this respect the editor has a decided advan-
tage over our humble-se!f. His assertion
that we had 'taken an oath to a sealed pa
per" he knows to be false, as his own
columns will prove. We have taken no
oath TO sealed paper or any other, what
ever, on the subject in controversy; but
produced the allidavits Of two Of our hands
in our office, whose characters for veracitv,
the Gazette well might envy. These aiii-
dayitS were placed in the Post Office for his
special attention and inspection, if he de-
sired it, He first denied there was any
affidavit, which he declared to be necessary.
He next protested that the ailidavis alluded
to were unsatisfactory and informal, and
now he states that 1Cc made the affidavit.
thus exhibiting, in the short space Of a few
weeks, degree ofmoral obliquity or supi-
dity, wholly objectionable, except IN a
case Of lunGcy, under which plea we hope,
in charity, he may take shelter Had we
coveted, not the three dollars, but the six or
eight dollars per annum, We might have de-
manded and received it since lSl5, as the
editor OF the Gazette and some of his friends
well know. This was on condition, that
he did not boast of superior circulation in
consequence thereof We shall now, how
ever, hereafter publish the list of letters as
a matter of right, under the Act of Con-
gress, without asking any favors, or placing
ourselves under any obligations, except
such as law and justice may require. But
as the Gazette still professes to have some
faith in the principles of honor we submit
to our contemporaries OF the Press for their
decision, the following

THE CANADIAN ASSEMBLY.

ToRoNTo, C. W, May %, 1850.
The debate in the Assembly, on the
amendment to the address, declaring it ex-
pedient to make the Legislative Council cleo
tive, developed strong tendency to organic
change, and brought in general discussion
on the annexation question. The right fully
to discuss the question was insisted on BY
Ey-Solicilor-General Bagely, and by several
others. The ministry were strongly con.
demned for making the dismissal. Colonel
Prince defed the Colonial Secretary and the
Provincial Attoney-General to prosecute him
or any other individual for advocating indie.
pendence. The spirit of the debate was hos
tile to the English authorities and TO Eng
land, but the uusuitabeness of the English
institutions to Canada, was the reason avow-
ed for demanding constitutional changes
The motion for an elective Legislative Coun-
ell was negatived by large majority, The
vote stood as follows; l3 for and so against
the change.
