WAsHINGToN CITY,

WAsHINGToN CITY, Aug D, 1901.
In my last told you of the defeat of the Compro-
mise 1t vas a contamination brought about by
most singular, and, in some respects, most unholy
combination Good men, every where, who desire
the peace ard quiet of the country and the preserva
ton of the Union, lament the result Mr.. Clay,
broken down in body and spirit, has left the city
and gone to Newport for the purpose of enjoying the
sea air and bathing.
The bill for the Territorial Government Of Utah
has gone to the House, and will be acted upon next
week. This is matter of no moment, as the people
IN that Territory are Mormons-Latter Day Saints,
who act through their prophet by revelation direct
from Heaven, which is ga law higher than the Con-
stitution.''
MFR. Pearce, of Maryland viii, on Monday, intro
tuce bill for the settlement Of the Texas boundary,
which am told viii pass the Senate. 1t win pass
the House in short time unless defeated by ''the
friends of freedom as the aboonists cali them
selves. John Pope of Kentucky, once said that the
Yankees when they desired to perpetrate any ras-
calty, always did il in the name of the Lord ~
So these anatcal abolitionists urging their disu
Mon schemes in the name of freedom.
If the question be settled this Congress, like
Othello, their occupation will be gone, and they win
dwindle down into miserable faction. Indications
are that they win unite with the Seward faction in
New York Poor Seward is doomed man. All
the hopes Of political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, which were
budding and swelling thick around him, were buried
III the tomb with Gen. Taylor. His sun set with the
going down of the Galphin Cabinet.
Fillmore has withdrawn the name of Levi Allen,
tba Sovard Coliactor Of R,,naIo Allan xvouId bavo
been rejected by the Senate, but his appointment
in the first instance was triumph of Seward over
Fillmore in his own city And now the latter with
draws his nomination, to show his political enemy
that things may be done well as Others -
and that, as President, he means to wipe out the
track of Galphinism.
Congress will adjourn the slavery ques-
ton is settled and the appropriation bills are passed
say early in September. 1t would, however, in
my opinion, be dangerous TO fix day Of adjourn
ment the ultras would then be notified how long
accordingly.
The people, in my opinion, are not as much ex
cited as Congress; but should an adjournment take
place without any definite action on these vexet
questions the hot heads that are boiling and kissing
like steam engines, would when they had fail
field among their own people, kindle every hill il
the South the beacon fires CT diSunion. They woulc
tell their constituents of invaded rights and northern
aggressons, which they never dreamed of, and they
would come back here next winter more memorable
in their demands than ever. The breach would b.
widened and Cancellation more difficult
The Nashville Convention did great harm. In eff
feet the Hartford Convention small and unim
portant town meeting, compared with it for evil
The latter produced universal indignstion the re
suit injured no except the actors, who were con
signed to infamy. But the former enabled Mr.
Rhet and his co-workers in treason, to make sin
qua non which they knew, in advance, could not b.
obtained; an ultimatum that impossible-givins
them pretext for raising the standard of rebellion
and disunion.
The defeat of the compromise drew out some re
marAable speeches One from Mr.. Clay, which wa
Q again applauded by the galleries; and one iron
Gen. Foote, who read the doom of southern traitors
He read large extracts from Gen. Jackson's Procla
nation, for the benefit of South Carolina and ridi
culed that flatulent effort of COL Chestnut But tn
, most pointed speech made by Mr.. Badger o
North Carolina, who declared that his State, lie
what you'd come would adhere to the Union; bu
he was severe on the Northern agitators and free
sellers, and told his Wing brethren plainly if the,
desired his aid, they must abandon their 'Wimot'
a and become more national in their views. Cloud
are breaking away and the threatened storm, hope
will be averted
