TYr SKA SERPENT IN THE sourH.-A remarkable marine

Seabrook and his passengers on the last TIP oil the steamer

settlement OF .he slavery Question.

We have more than once remarked that the cores
pendent of the New York Globe one OF the ablest and
most udicous letter. writers from this city In late let
ter he presents the following plan of compromise,
which, a whole, with the addition of carrying out the
compact with Texas, deem reasonable and sasfacto
ry, and which, we trust may yet meet the favor of both
houses of Congress, We believe il would command the
approx OF three fourhs, at least of the American
people; and confident it would restore peace and
tranquility to distracted country The writer says
Whatever may be the result hereafter, If could
be had majority would be shown In both houses Of Con-
gress for settlement Of the slavery question. Probably
upon the following basis
lst The admission Of California.
3D. The organization of the Territories without 'the Viii.
mot" as Mr. Webster calls il.
3D. The settlement of the boundaries of Texas either
at present claimed. or by compensation to her for relin
quishment OF portion OF her territory.
4h The abolition of the slave trade in the District of Co
lumbia
5th. The passage Of bill making more efectual pro-
vision Tor the recaptnre OF fugitive slaves.
Mr. Foote is right in wishing to connect these various
but still related measures, and present, agmen
tay, but comprehensive system ofcompomise that shall
confidence, duse tranquility, and leave of
bitterness to spring up from It's accomplishment.
In this way only those fanatics be reached who, in
both houses seldom vote upon the merits OF case,
but only related sentiment notion
even defined 10 their minds who everything by
cple and consistency and at the time exhibiting the
grosse inconsistency resembling in this particular their
leader Governor Seward,) who upon the day. de.
cared in his place in the Senate, time, (such his
horror OF savery) that tbere higher law than the con-
stution, which regulates authority the domain
(he Teniiores,) and, another tme that he would
for the admission Of California, IL she had dc.
manded admission slave State.
The reasons which the correspondent Of the Globe
assigns in favor Of combining all these various PROPOSE
tons and in whole system are brief but
cogent They strike with great force, and we trust
they may with favor from Congress and the coun
try We are confident all these various propositions
combined in one bill or system OF measures passing
pari pdssu will command strength in Congress and
the country than any Of them in a separate bill
could command Let them be united, and then let them
pass. We believe every true patriot prays for such
conclusion to the unhappy controversy between
the two great sections Of this glorious Union.

Everybody knows the celebrated tale OF the llustrous
Mother Goose, commencing with "This is the house
that Jack built From the following extract which We
make from the letter OF correspondent Of the New
York Herald. appears that the currycomb scene at
the White House is to be mmortazed and handed down
to posterty side by side with the nursery tale before
alluded TO- The writer says that the form in which
the history Of the remarkable appears IS the work
Of witty SENATOR who handed it to General Fooe very
after he had administered the curry comb senatorial
to Senator Seward. II runs thus:
This s the that conquered his foes at Monterey and
Buena Vista.
This is the horse which bore the who conquered his
