| FRoM WASHINGTON" X'' of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Washington on the oath, says
In spe of all the difficulties real and imaginary
the Compromise Bill will pass the Senate, after all.
To Clay, Cass, Foote and Webster will be due the

The Union was never in such imminent danger
as the present, bat not so much from the extreme
/ Nullifers and Southern utras generally, as from
the spirit of sectional legislation which begins to
| sway members and Senators on both sides. As to
/ such ultra speeches as Mr. Rhett's, no apprehen-
| sion need be felt on their account. They are so
extremely anatica, silly, and ridiculous, that the
only fear they possibly inspire, is for the
| tors head do not, with the Union of this morn
ling, call Mr.. Rhetts spsech famous . one it
is, in the language of every Union loving and law
i abiding citizen, simply The negative of that
/ The Union is in greater danger from that grow
ing axily in public morals which can tolerate such
speeches. than from the feelings they excite among
the people, and from such unmanly fears are ex
pressed in certain quarters in regard TO their posi-
bic consequences. If there is a wde-spreadD isuion
sentiment in the South, (Which do not beeve,)
/ let the Union newspaper cast its eyes on the
solid phalanx North, where all such Dlsunion sem
/ timenis are treated they ought to be-as das-
| tardly treason There are enough good and honest
citizens, South and North, to preserve the Union,
and TO drive Disunion demagOgues, North and
South, into the most obscure corners Of the land.
The Union " talks to-day of embassy that
is TO be sent from some Of the States, to South
| Carolina, TO mediate between her and the Union.
One of the States thus named is Pennsylvania.
Let the editor of the Union not lay such fattering
| unctiOn 10 his soul. Pennsylvania will send no
such embassy to treat or mediate between Rhett
and his eonspirators, and the Union. Pennsylva-
MIA is a Union State, which recognizes no other
power above her but the Federal Government here
in Washington, and which has aid 10 offer ex-
eept in support of that Government If, Mr..
Rhett hints, there be distinguished Pennsylva-
nian entertaining different opinions this subject,
let him speak ont, in bold, manly way, that the
People of Pennsylvania may hear him, and the
country will soon see the funeral obsequies per-
formed over his political grave. There is wide
difference between the private opinions of public
msn, and the opinions they have the courage in
scribe on their banners.
Let South Carolina not count on Pennsylvania
for aid and eomfort-what aid and comfort she can
bestow is reserved for the General Government.
All Pennsylvania is for the Bill of Adjustment,
now before the Senate and man in Pennsyl
vania dares to come out against it, except Free
soer or an Abolitionist. The men in Pennsylva-
MIA who are not for the bill, are for Freesoil and
| Abolition. The Missouri line has not three advo-
Gates in the Keystone State, and Mr.. Rhett's
speech has killed TWO and seven-eighths of them
1 Mr.. Conrad, of Louisiana, will probably take
1.-The Department OF the Interior. The appointment
would give very general satisfaction. Louisiana,
like Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, and Ma
ry land sent no Delegates to the Nashville ConVen-
ton, and is counted firm Union State. Mr.. Con-
rad is Of talent, firmness, and courage, and
