Compromise.

We announced several weeks ago the probable
failure of the Compromise plan of the Committee
OF Thirteen. Another paper in this city has
wasted many columns of predictions that it would
succeed, and Of arguments in its..favor. But now
the impending failure of the bill is admitted
Those who have hitherto supported it will now
choose between division of the acquired territory
between the North and the South, or total denial
in word, as well as in deed, of all Southern right
whatever to that territory. The alternatives are
very plain-they are Numerically opposed-and
their consequences respectively are very obvious
BY one the Union can be preserved-by the other
it cannot.
BY the attempt to exclude the South from all
share in the territory acquired the country has al
ready been broughtinto a revolutionary condition.
--So,the,n Press
Here is the disunionists' alternative :-36. 80
or fight! Now, while the people have long
been impressed with the opinion that there has
been fighting enough of late; still, as all the
fighting has grown out Of desire to ertend the
borders of slavery, it may be our fate to have a
brush to keep the institution where it is. It is
for the disunionsts to say. The probability is
however, that in a war with gentlemen of the
Southern Press stripe, there will be more demand
for hemp than bullets.-AB. En-. Journal.
We have no doubt that the editor of the
Evening Journal is better fitted for hangman
than soldier But we don't think he would
have the courage even for the performance Of
his favorite functions. In case of brush y we
have no doubt he would be more careful to keen
himself where he is, than slavery where it is.

A Voice from Northern Ohio.

We take pleasure in presenting the following
sentiments from letter dated Cleaveland, Ohio
July %, with subscription for our paper:
Sympathizing most fully in the object sough
to be attained by its establishment and circula
ton, permit me to express a wish of continued
enjoyment of health and happiness to all con
cerned and interested therein cvermore as hither
to, strictly inside and immediately under Tn
Ggis Of our benign and generated Republic--ano
cord Renowned Contederacy. And that in thu
further progress of this political strife and war
fare, in which Northern fanatics and enthusiasts
are to be found pressing forward in hot haste
and mad pursuit no Legislative departure from
compromises, as they now exist in our common
Constitution, may be found necessary, or expe
dent even, in order to the maintenance and per
petuation of just and equal privileges as also
guaranteed State rights. Nothing am per-
suaded can now be gained or secured to the
quiet or permanent peace and tranquility of oul
country by further recession before the unjust
and relentless demands Of Abolition insolence
or its continued strides towards a reckless inva-
sion OF high principles of plighted national faith
as well as restless and prurient desire for I'M
warranted and desolating aggressions.
It's prosecuting spirit will be satisfied and ap-
the institution of slavery for it to scent or to feed
upon, regardless alike, whether it be found in
States where it now exists, or whether in the
precincts of their own territorial dependencies
If this prediction be true, (and who will question
iD how utterly futile for future protection will
become temporizmg expedients or the adoption
of half way measures. Away with them as Of
nothing worth A determined and unfinchina
advocacy of constitutional grounds and guaran
ties can alone give promise of adequate relief
from impending difficulties, or from the certain
vistatlons OF more remote evils, accompanied
as they surely will be with increased perplexi-
ties and augmented disabilities
What would seem wanting for the occasion
and doubt not is possessed and will be taxed
to good degree, is due moderation, coupled
with great firmnes and perseverance, together
with untiring powers of endurance wherewitl
to stand to the end, In fullness of time, W,
trust now at no great distance in the future, al
will be right once more.
Very respectfully yours,
w. F. OTIS.

In the present difficulty We never considered
the line Of 49, 80 as giving the South her due
share of the acquired territory. But have
thought She had better take that than incur the
evils of disunion.
We consider a government like ours, justly
administered, the highest achievement Of human
nature. Even with its many practical imperfec-
tons, injustice, inequality and corruption, we
still regard it on the whole as great blessing.
But convert it into mere instrument for execu-
ting the arbitrary will of majority, make it the
agent for gratifying the basest appetites of man,
the lust of plumber and the love of fraud, and it
becomes stupendous curse which heaven and
earth would unite to put down.

MELANcH LY SuIcIDE.-A young lady named
Kean, residing in Covington, KY, drowned her
self in the Ohio river on Sunday week Miss
K, it appears had received and encouraged the
addresses Of gentleman whose visits to the
house had been forbidden Sunday evening,
the young man came to the house and invited
Miss X. to take walk with him. When she
was about starting her father told her that if she
did not return by certain hour, the doors Of
his house would be closed upon her, and
he would not open them. Miss X. started, and
it appears remained away over the time; and
when she returned, the doors were closed, and
no one would admit her. On returning to her
fathers house and finding it closed against her,
she spent some time in walking near thehouse,
and then made another Intellectual attempt to
gain admttance. She then sought out the young
man with whom she had passed the evening,
and requested him to provide for her comfort
and protection during the night He thought it
would be more proper for the young lady to-
pass the night under her fathers roof, and adj
vsed her once more to try and effect an entrance,
and if unsuccessful to return to him for protec-
ton She complied so far as to try again at hei|
fathers door, but with no better success than
before. She then started for the ferry, intend
ing to seek a home at her sisters house in Cinl
cinnati 1t being in the evening" the ferry boat
had laid up for the night She requested the
ferryman to get up steam and take her over tho
river, which he positively refused to do. She|
asked him for skiff and said she would row
herself over He either had none or would lend
her none. Finding herself thus bafled at every
point, in despair she rushed to the outer edge OF
the wharf, and threw herself into the river, which
soon closed over her fair form.

toral corps of the Canadian Assembly The
despatch says;
TORONTO, July 20.
Last night all the reporters at the Legisla-
tive Assembly withdrew, in consequence of one
of their number being called to the bar of the
House, and censured for requesting member
conversing near the reporters gallery not to in
terrupt him. The whole press has resolved to
report no more in that House
The aheroes before Agammemnon" whose
memories persisted for want of poet, did not
fare worse than the honorable members of Lee
gislative bodies now would, without reporters.
We do not know how it is in Canada, but in
this Commonwealth some of the "most splen-
did efforts" and brightest regulations are manu-
featured by the members of that much reviled
but useful class Of scribes.
BY perching public man on the pedestal of
their letters, they can often elevate political
popinjay to the altitude of Colossus before the
country, or by sklful perversion change the
altitude Of others entirely.
To be reporter requires brains. The same
element is not an indispensable or necessary
qualification for those who fill the lower seats.
The disastrous consequences therefore of this
emeute it is hard to conjecture Reporters
may suffer for atemporary stoppage of the sup
plies, but it will leave the honorable members in
the condition of rats in an exhausted receiver.
There is no vocation more useful and more
III 30 ID
none more degraded than that of the base pan
der to personal or partizan malignity, distorting
half facts into whole falsehoods.
