The Baltimore Sun and z.

Baltimore is Southern City-and in the good
old State of Maryland. Yet one of its leading pa
pers, the name of which heads this article, is thor
oughly all anti-slavery paper. And the redoubta-
bic x, (Grund0 its leading correspondent, is an
Aboonist Of the strictcst school. BY birth a
Swiss-he has located in Washington, as per-
manent correspondent-writesj just anything you
ask him, provided you give him money enough
(provided as matter Of course, that it comedies
with his opinions)-the uncompronising enemy Of
| what he terms the Southern ultras-and just now
a strong compromise man-a round, jolly, fat face,
like the full moon in bright night-in size of tre-
inendous dimensions-with great deal more IA
miIiariiy in his manner than most people would
like. You are not much prepossessed (unless you
are fond ofruckling abolition princIpes) in favor
of the land Of Wilhelm Tell But we repeat it
the Sun is 10 all iuten.s and purposes all abolition
paper. And worse than thal--it is in favor of the
adjustment Bill.
awe are glad to notice disposition to give the
bill such shape, by amendments as will gain Tor
it the support of those who have heretofore oppos
ed some of its provisions at the same time that

| the efficacy of the measure as whole. MI. Soule
on the 18th, as was published yesterday in this
paper in 4 telegraphrc dispatch, offered to amend
the bill by provision that new States may be ad-
mtted into the Union with or without slavery as
the people of said States may decide; which
amendment was adopted by vote of 50 to "a

it; still, ifthe bill shall become law with this pro-
vision new States, ,ohh slavery-whether New
| Mexico South California or Cuba-lnay hereafter
come into the Union without being attended with
the usual excitement and difficulty. This, in the
course of time, may prove to be an important con-
cesson, and we regard it such, on the part of the
North. In principle it is clearly right; and we
hope that Mr.. Soule and others, entertaining views
similar to those expressed by him, are now less
hostile to the passage of the measure than they
were before the adoption of this provision.
The above we extract from the New Orleans
Crescent And we must say that we never expect
ed to see as much-we certainly never have from
any Northern paper. We are only surprised that
the citizens of New Orleans should allow such
paper as the Crescent to be issued in their city,
A Southern paper-to call the admittance of
State into the Union whose constitution recogni-
yes slavery, concession OH the part of the North.
And because Mr.. Soue's motion to that effect was
passed, he thinks now, Mr.. Soule should vote for
the Compromise The Crescent fit has half the
light which it should have at its first quarter, can
but see that yankee maneuvring would bring in
every territory as free State if the Compromise
