The National organ of the Opposition, and the
journal from which our friend of the Democrat
and the lesser lights of the Locofoco party recev-
ed their cue during the last Presidential campaign
thus assails Mr.. Clay's proposed compromise OF
the Slavery question:
"Fhere is nothing of the true spirit of compro-
mise in his speech or resolutions He exhorts the
North TO abandon the Wimot Proviso, because, as
he contends, the Mexican law in the Territories
answers the same purpose of excluding slavery.
What compromise is there in this? He may sat-
isfy the North, but will he propitiate the South ?
What is it to man, if, after you have given him ten
silver dollars, you force him TO give up an eagle ?
You only vary the form, while the substance re-
mains the same What compromise, especially,
does Mr.. Clay offer the South, if after trying to
prove that Congress may introduce or prohibit
slavery in the territories and of course asserting
that Congress may supersede the Mexican law a.
gainst slavery, which he attributes to the Terrific
ries, he insists upon Congress so exercising this
power as to give all the territories to the North
and allow none to the South? What compromise
is there in this unequal distribution !? Mr. Clay
may depend upon it that it is not in this way any
compromise is to be effected. and this dangerous
question settled forever. His present movement
viii be considered BY the South as anything but a
compromise, and it only makes confusion worse
.confounded 1t is calculated, in fact TO do more
harm than good--to defeat rather than oPromote
a Cancellation Of spirit, compromise Of interests
and satisfactory and permanent adjustment OF this
whole agitlting subject"

above sentiments of the leading patriarch of the
