him. One OF the topics IS the dsbanding Of

Danger of the Union-What Ii to he Done
The position OF affairs in Congress, and in the
cabinet, looks dangerous and menacing. IL the
slavery excitement be not allayed in some way by
q settlement in Congress, these dangers will In
sresse, and lead to nothing but dissolution and
ruin What is to be done 7 Who will move first
Stay, Webster, Cass, Foote, Mangum, and other
gushed leaders, of both parties have brought
n a compromise Of this question, but the ultras Of
both sections declare against il in the most terrible
and fearful terms. The President himself must
now meet the crisis. Delay is dangerous. General
Taylor must rouse himself from his mastery mac
Ivity, and either take decided stand, in the pre-
sent position Of affairs, or be overwhelmed in ulu
nate ruin. Hitherto his present cabinet has only
he'd him astray this important question. What
shsuld he dos He should dismiss the whole body
Of his present advsers-call the leaders Of the
Wig party together-ask them TO furnish him with
advice in the selection Of a new cabinet-instal
them in the different departments at once-and let
DE cabinet and the whole friends of the compro-
nise in Congress unite, heart and soul, in endea-
ysring 10 carry il through, and thereby restore
peace and quiet TO this distracted Union. IL there
b not majority Of moderate, sensible men in Con-
Srsss 10 carry the compromise, then let him test
Nat question, let il be defeated at once, adjourn
Congress, and go before the country in the next
elections with the great and paramount issue Of
compromise or dissolution of the Union.
There is alternative TO pursue but this, and
oeneral Taylor ought at once TO come up to the
scratch. Appoint a new cabinet-send the old
arivelers adrift-adops the compromise the sd-
ninistration platfom-debate il in both horses--
vote spon and pass all its provisions none-and il
defeated, adjourn Congress-go before the people,
and raise the standard of the compromise or dis
saion.

Board Of Directors at Dayton Of their ac-

TO solicit further subscriptions of stock.
andt TO secure the payment Of that already

this course highly necessary as the price
at winch the grading can be done will de-
pend much upon the promptncss Of the
