When Mr. Clsy's resolution, In rcla-
lion 20 The Compromise Committee. (ihe
amendment, 10 Mr.. F.ole'sl was finally
carried in the Senate, Mr. Hale made a
prediction that the North was destined 10
defeat and the South 10 triumph. To
this Mr.. Clay made The following eloquent
reply:
There Il no destiny Of defeat on the
part Of the North. bur there 10 destiny OF
triumph on The pan OF The Union Of these
States; and that triumph in behalf Of The
Union Of these States will be the defeat
OF your ultra aboli,ionisis. And. sir. the
gentleman need not ilsuer himself with the
hope that when gentlemen return 10 their
constituents. they will 6nd il to be much
warmer than !, has been. No man here
from Tree State win feel any spprehen.

as perilous. quite as sgitaiing, quite as
alarming As il is now, and that was before
che famous Missouri question was settled
by a majority Of only six votes In the
House OF Representatives. Then, as
now. men who wished 10 defeat the ad.
justlnen, and compromise Of This great
question were predicting that the represent
ia,ives Of the North who had assisted in
making this adjustment would 70 home
and find that their efigies had been burnt,
and would meet with very warm recep-
ton.
What was The fact, sir! Why more
cxulla,ion, more joy, and more gladness
were not manifested by the people Of the
United States upon the annunciation Of
peace with Great Britain, that was con-
Guided al Client, than that which animai-
ed them upon the compromise Of tina,

consequence now. twill be triumph,

The Republic. speaking Of Mr.. VIM
throp's beautiful speech on the death Of Mr..
Calhoun, says Ills brief remarks were
as kind and just and generous as those
which we have heard upon the same floor,
offered TO the memoV Of distinguished
citizen Of his own stale by citizen ofthe
south. And while we listen TO his glow.
ing and genial eulogy upon the great
statesman whose death we all SO deeply
lament together. we could but reflect with
grief and pain upon the petty. narrow,
and miserable seciionalities which are
sometimes suffered to disturb the rela-
tons of the north and south Of this glori-
Gus republic. Why, in Heavens name,
should this accused strife be continued :
Good men, wise men. and patriotic men
OF all quarters, sympaihizc in the great
objects and purposes and destinies oflheir
common country. Why should they not
unite and scatter to the four winds, as they
can and ought. the reckless and unprinci>
pied agi,ators who seek personal aggran.

element!
