Tue "CoMPRoMIsE - The Roman Citizen
published at Rome, N. Y, in speaking of the Com
promise proposition before the Senate, says:
Compromise between parties, when negotiating
regard the disposal of the rights and interests of
third party can never be justified. The idea is
radically wrong-and when it is permitted to rule in
the high and sacred duties oflegisatng for a vast
territory and for people not represented, it argues
but "a slight appreciation of the responsibilities of
legislator and the fundamental principles of justice
and right Apply this principle to the case In hand
and there can be no settlement of the Territorial
question, which shall not do perfect justice to peo-
pie of the Territories-no adjustment which shall not
absolutely square with fair and just principles with
out leaving gut-terrble guilt upon those who WELD
and execute the power.
1t is disgusting to see with what GOODNESS PROPOSE
tons for Compromise made, which look to the
interests srifes and divisions of the Old States with
out paying the least attention to the rights and well
fare of the people, whose fate to be decided. Such
things have precedents in the division ofPoand among
her usurper and tyrants-(a compromise notorious
in history and in the casting lots for the garments of
Christ by the Jews-who were inventors of Com
promises in their day, but they have no precedents
in any deeds that ever resulted in good to the human
race We sincerely trust that there is a redeeming
spirit left which will yet enable the United States
Government to do plain simple justice to the unre-
presented subjects of It's power,-that will triumph
over the suggestions of weak and short-shighted
expediency, and bring honor instead Of disgrace to
the cause of true Republicansm.

THURSDAY, MAY 80, 1850.

"a The Springfield Republican, without the shsht'
est authority ori as we believe and IN opposition to
the true state of the CASE asserts that at the election
in the fourth district, ga very large proportion oil the
Locofoco vote was turned to Mr.. Palfrey." We have
made particular inquiry this point, and from all the
information we can obtain, think it doubtful whether
there were not more democratic given 10 Thomp-
son than to Paley. In of the largest towns in the
district. heretofore democratic town, person well
acquainted with the people and their politics, informs
lis that there were not three democratic votes in the
place given for Parey. The Boston Post, too, exults
in the statement that convention could not transfer
the democratic vote to him. On the other hand it is
well KNOWN that in Charestown and some other towns,
the democrats, to a considerable extent, voted for
Thompson 1t is little singular, that the Republican
should make this statement and, in the paragraph
claim that ''compared with the total opposition vote,
there is net whg gain of several hundreds" If so,
it must have been from the accession Of democratic
votes uness-as the Republican will hardly be ready
to admit-the wings have been far more active, and
their voters.
We regret that more Of the democrats did not feel it
their duty instead of scattering their votes give them
Paey and thus, while they helped to end the contest
contribute also, to the triumph Of pure and unadutera
ed democracy-that democracy which claims equal nat
ura rights for every human being, and places liberty
and personal rights above all other objects of egsla
on We trust that before another trial they will come
to a wiser conclusion in this respect.

ter will find enough to do by attending to
the affairs of his own party, and his own

claim the privilege Of settling them among
ourselves, and if we did not entertain
hope Of doing so, the Register man wo'd
be the last-one we would call upon for
advice. His structures relative to The De-
mocracy of Cambria county come with a
bad grace, since it is SO generally known
that the leaders of the whig party IN that
county have become so corrupt that the
people last tall were compelled to fly the
course, and beat them with set of volun

The 0reenseasg Argus IS s.i1 ha,pine
on the alleged bargain between Cambris
and Bedford relative to TIN. mex, candidate
for Congress. and in treating tho subiec,
reflects upon the conduct Of Gen. M'Don-
aid. We regret exceedingly that any III
feeling should grow out Of this affair, or
that old Westmoreland should feel herself
offended at the primary steps that have
been taken in relation to the next candidate
for Congress. 1t eanno. be denied that
Cambria county is right in asserting her
claim to the next candidate, or that the
course she adopted relative to the matter
was not warranted by precedent. Having
no disposition to get into quarrel with
the .argus, we merely remark that Gen.
M'Donald denies in the most emphatic
manner all knowledge of the bargain of
which it complains. We will repeat that
we do not believe that any such bargain
was ever consummated. The onlv evi-
dence the people of Westmoreland have
of such an arrangement is the assertion of
the Johnstown Echo-mishty poor evil
dence OF any fact. We are glad that this
is the only objection that can be urged
aga inst our claims, for we feel confident
that little inquiry on the part of our
Westmoreland friends will satisfy them that
II has no foundation in truth, and that no
unfair means has been used in the premi
ses. We know that the Democracy of
old Westmoreland are too magnanimous
to act upon the principle that .'might is
right" and that she will cheerfully yield
to Cambria The privilege of having one
Congressman in every fifty years. We
do not think that this arrangement will 60

The Strike on the Central Railroad.

No arrangement has yet been effected
by which the difficulties between the con-
tractors and workmen on the Central Rail-
road can be settldd. The Irish resolutely
hold out for the dollar per day, and the
contractors as resolutely refuse to give it;
and the consequence is that all operations
have ceased between Johnstown II and Blairs
vile, with the exception we believe Of
ene section at Johnstown. We learn that
the Irishmen have formed themselves into
an association regularly organized; for the
purpose of forcing the contractors to ac-
cede to their terms, and prevent others
srom wofking on the road. About five
hundred, armed with pistols, knives. &C..
are located in the Ridge, above Blairsville
and they parade the line in squads to see
that no others are working They have a
common fund of about eight hundred dol
lars, out Of which they supply those who
must have work to support themselves
with money sufficient to carry them to the
Beaver or some other Railroad. How
long thas state of things will last, we are
unable to, TO tell. but We think the Law
should be called in aid to put an end TO it
The lrishsnen certainly have a right te

Incidents Of the Mexieaa War.

withstood the builetsaad valor of Mexican
mer, did not defend themselves 50 effect

them were married to Mexican girls, and
some others it appears ought to have been.
Some OF the Mexican ladies followed their
false lovers 10 Vera Cruz, expecting 10 oe
