The compromise bill will yet be another week de-
bated in the Senate. Mr.. Sone will make his great
speech on the Missouri compromise on Monday
next, and will most uDquestonably treat hissubeet
in statesman like manner II is not with view to
carrying slaves there that Mr.. Soule is advocating
the division of California, bur for the purT 5se OF
maintaining the equilibrium Of Power between the
Pacific and Atlantic and to render The control Of the
Pacific coast easertO the general government. Mr.
Soule's views will no doubt be very interesting, and
carry weight with Them.
We are enjoined by st. Paul TO prove all things
and TO hold fast 10 those which are good. Let Mr.
Soule's plan berespstfally considered, with view
toward accommodation; but if that is found 10 be
lmpFactcabe in the present position OF parties then
let Mr.. Soule, who is too far-sighted statesman to
desire dnnion In any case, do the best he can for
the South and the national party to which he be-
longs. Let him take what he can get now on ac.
count, and his talent and energy will hereafter be
able to obtain more.
Let the South remember that this is not the last
Southern question that Congress will have TO pass
upon-that Cuba, ST. Domingo, Guadaloupe Marti-,
nique, jamaica, all open questions, and that it is
nothing but united and eontented country which
can hope to hold and keep maritime possession
