REMOVAL.

The COMPROMISE BILL still hangs by the gils
in the Senate, but the impression is, that it is DOOM
ed concern 1t will be voted against by both northern
and southern men-by the former, because all the
cessons are on one sde and by the latter because those
concessions do not go far enough. The concessions
made by northern of both the old parties, for the
purpose of securing southern support, have embodened
the southerers to make the most extravagant claims
1t of those cases. where every concession but OPP
ems the way for stronger claim The southern politi-
clans have learned that in the of parties at the
north, they hold the balance in their own hands, and
are determined act make,cghtS between the par

demands for this service only by the they may
be able to exact from the party which is willing give

from New Mexico is, according to his Statements fixed
by law of naurea any rate, it is not fixed by the
compromise bill. The abolition of the slave trade in
the District of Columbia, the extent provided for by
the bill is concession to the north, for it goes no
farther than several of the slave States have already
done for their safety and protection 1t does moi

And yet, even this bill is voted against by southern
slave propagandsts, because they expect by holding of
while to force still further concessions from one party
or the other, at the coming elections. The people ma,
therefore make up their minds either to bow down t,
the slave power and give them every thing they ask
or to take their stand decidedly the sacred ground

subscription having advanced SO far and with good
assurances Of further aid, the committee have re-

SO far as the money is concerned, may be regarded
