parable in its gravity to the course Of action which
the Commercial Advertiser justiies in the North.
The grievances for which our revolutionary war
was Jagged, were of principle rather than of
of positive injury. they were first met by the
colonial patriots with peaceable combinations to
forswear the use of British manufactures. The
South can now adopt the same policy towards
Northern manufactures with far more readiness.
The Southern States have wealth enough to es-
tablish a direct and exclusive trade with foreign
countries from their own ports. Instead OF APP
plying its resources to the construction of inter-
nal improvements, each State can build merchant
ships at the public expense, and transport our
breadstuffs and tobacco and cotton to Europe, at
rates with which the private capital of the North
could not compete. The effect of the direct trade
with the resolution of the people to encourage
home industry alone, would cause manufactures
to spring up throughout the Southern country.
our cities would become prosperous, and our agri-
culture would be far more remuneratve than at
present.
These would be peaceful remedies scarcely de-
serving the name of reprisals. But other methods
have been suggested of directly retaliating upon
those States which refuse to respect the constitu-
honal obligation to aid the recovery of fugitive
slaves-such as non-intercourse, the detention OF
the property of Northern citizens and the like
The Commercial Advertiser, and all who concur
in its scruples of conscience, may rest assured
that the adoption of some such policy in the South.

lecture, but is seriously contemplated by men who
love the Union as sincerely as those who founded
it, but who are determined to act with the irmness
OF their ancestors in resisting insulting and into.

MR.. CLAY'S PROPOSITION.
Mr.. Clay said, in his late speech

"l think entertaining these views, california having
positively excluded slavery and it not being likely to
enter the other Terrtores that there is nothing extra
VACANT in the hope which INDUCED at the time these
resolutions were proposed-nohing extravagant in the
hope that the North might content itself with strk
ing out these two declarations, wiz that slavery does
not exist by law in the Territories and is not likely
there They arc unnecessary tor any purpose which
the free States have in view. At all events, if ihey
should insist upon Congress expressing the opinions
which here asserted, they might euen limit their
oishes to the simple assertion Of that, WITHOUT insist
their being incorporated IN any territorial GOO
ernments whch might be devised for the territories
an question"
We cite this passage from Mr.. Clays speech
because it touches point which has not been adj
verted to in any of the comments upon his scheme
of compromise that have met our eye. 1t seems
generally to have escaped attention that tho
buttons offered by Mr.. Clay do not constitute the
action which he proposes that Congress shall take
In regard to the Territories his proposition in
volves after the adoption of the resolutions, three
specific enactments either in one bill or in separate
bills, viz:
1st. An act, admitting California as State;
3D. An act organizing Territorial Governments
in the remainder of the Territory acquired from
Mexico, and aoithom any condition or restriction
as to Slavery; and
Sd. An act providing for the purchase of the
claim of Texas to the portion Of New Mexico tina,
les east of the Rio Grande.
1t is manifestly important to understand whe-
Their Mr.. Clay does or does not contemplate incor.
porating, in the second of these acts, the two OBJ
lectionable declarations which he thought it pro-
per to include in his resolution on the same sub
ject-matter. The words, which we have itaicised
in the passage of his speech quoted above, would
lead us to suppose that he does not. If, them the
resolutions should be passed. and chiefly by North
ern votes, it might happen that Southern Senators
would be prepared to vote for the bill or bills
growing out of them, acting upon the view that
the positive acts of Congress are not to be con-
strued by abstract declarations of opinion on ques
tons of law.
Another question of interest, connected with
Mr.. Clay's scheme of settlement, relates to the
proposed legislation concerning the boundary of
Texas. We do not understand how far the COM
promise would stand, if Texas should decline las
she probably wilD to release her claim. Does Mr..
Clay assume to fix the boundary by act of Con-
gress without regard to her acqaiescence or dis
seat2 If-net, and if Texas refuse to sell out her
title, will not the whole plan be broken up?

"Col. Thompson Withdrawn j"


Such we officially informed by yesterdays En-.
quirer, the result Of the Democratic caucus Saur-
day night, at which read letter, received that
morning from Col T., dated Wheeling, February Sd in
which he said
"Ireceived teegaphic despatch yesterday, announ-
cling simply nomination, which presumed was for
the post of First Auditor. This morning | received
your letter. which tends to confirm that impression
really do not desire this situation and hoped that nv
friends would have considered my Geographic despatch
to them positive declinaton."
And here is the laughable apology for summarily
throwing the Colonel overheard:
"Col. Thompson having been nominated without
consultation with him, and his name permitted to be
used in connection with the Office Of First Auditor upon
the sole condition that all his Democratic friends desired
it; and it having been objected to him by the Wings
Col. T had acclaimed against slavery, while they ad-
mltted that at this time and since political abolition had
being, Col. T. sound, and with the South upon the
question ofFedera interference and while he is known to
occupy extreme Southern grou d, denying any and all
power in the Federal Government to prohibit slavery
yet his ends-n view OF his letter above stated and
the captous objection thus raised in consequence OF the
Grafton alluded to, made before any matute opinions
were enertainedby Col. T. upon the subject and long
and believing that the objection thus raised by the
Wings had been made for the purpose of prejudicng
members OF the Democratic party from large slaye-
holding counties might vote for hm-felt bound to
withdraw his nams and refused permit it to be used
in connection with the office Of First Auditor"

ing this article in the Enquirer after opening the papcr
with the full expectation of seeing his election an
