IT. C.lov,s Conprornase.

In our Congressional report will be found Mr. CLAYs
resolutions which he offered last week in the Sem
ate by way of compromise of the slavery question.
From the debate we should judge that they die not
meet the views of even one from the South, Mr..
CLAY excepted and if they pass at all, they cannot
be regarded compromise, for they will owe their
passage exclusively to Northern votes. They will not
pass not at least in their present form, without
a total remodelling. They substantially concede
everything to the North; and indeed, evident is
this that we have not found paper of either par
ty at the South, which has ventured to approve of
them Perhaps something may grow out of them
which will be beneficial to the Union but we have
no such expectation. Still, although We have no
hope from this quarter we by means despair of a
just and amcable settlement of the slavery question
at the present session reaction has unquestion-
ably taken place ut the North Pennsylvania has
set the example, by the refusal of her Legislature to
re-enact tho antisavery resolution of the last Legs
lature The correspondent of the Boston Post, wri-
ting from Washington City, under date Of the Goth
ult., says
am also enabled to inform you that news has
reached here from several western States of the vii
ngness of the people to drop the provso, as produ
cling dangerous and unnecessary agitation for IA
tional end Senators and members from the wes
thus feel relieved, and begin to act Independently
the subject. The result is, beyond the possibility of
doubt, decided and unequivOcal defeat of the Viii
NIT Proviso in the Senate and the probability of it
defeat in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Buchanan, of Pa, who arrived here on Thurs
daEs fYSfpiHeh fe refused to re-en
act the Wilmot Proviso, which is practically equa
to resembling it. Some of the Pennsylvania member
were at any rate opposed to the Proviso, and wou
have oted and spoken against it, whatever NIGH
have been the action of their LEGISLATURE.
We also discover indications ef such state of feel
ing in several of our western democratic exchanges
In late number of the Marshall, H., Democrat W
find very sensible article on this subject in who
the issue is plainly presented--Wimot Proviso an
disunion, or non-intervontion and Union, and tn
Democrat goes boldly for non-intervention. TIL
impression is gaining ground at the North that tn
South is in earnest, and this impression is producin
its effect in incning the people of the North to re
snect her rights.

The Circus.

All who love to laugh, and who does not will re-
oice to learn that STONE & McCoLLUM's Circus with
the nmitable DAN RICE in company, will be in town
next week We have witnessed DAMS performances
of old, and having become le-member of the sober
sided fraternity who never laugh we cannot afford
to go, we would inevitably break our pledge. We
would advise everybody, who has any conscientious
scruples against mirth to stay at home but all who
believe in the old maxim, laugh and grow fat, y
should go, by all means.

The new years address of the Washington Union
contains good humored paragraph upon the Union,
and, if we may the expression, the disunion,
which may to amuse us, if nothing else, amid
the sombre and serious discussions to which this sub
ect has given RISE and after ALL undcr the garb of
folly, it contains great deal that is more than half
true:
ayes, gentlemen, this Union is too precious a thing
to be ripped up by any of you or all of you put to
gether. Do you want concessions take them. Do
you want necessaries take them. Do you want to
turn the Mississippi turn it. Do you want to
drain the lakes drain them. Do you want to bridge
the Atlantic ?-bridge it. Do you want to grum-
Bile grumble. Do you want to cuns ?-euss: Do
you want to shoot ?-sboot. Do you want to die >
die; but don't hurt anybody else who differs with
you in opinion Our fathers formed the Union that
they might have spot to damn all tyrants i'll, and
it is pity if their can't rip at each other in it,

row. Shout, boys as much as it suits YOU but don't

the position assumed by the South, which has set

Death of a Mexican Statesman.

Late Mexican papers announce the death of PESA
PENA, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and
the ad interim President of the Mexican Republic
during the time when negotiations were pending
with the United States for the treaty of peace which
put an end to the war. PENA Y PENA had the good
to perceive that to procrasnate the struggle
would be but to annihiate the Mexican name and
SO he boldly determined to put an end to it by ma
king peace, which he did, in the face of the most de-
ermned and insulting opposition, and, by his patri-

Democratic County Meeting.

1t seems now to be agreed upon that Democratic
State Convention will be held sometime in May, if
not sooner for the purpose of nominating cand-
date for Governor. OF course, New Hanover county
will be represented In that Convention; and as it
has been the usage to appoint delegates at March
Court, we take this opportunity to announce that
Tuesday evening of Court week the 18th of March,
there will be meeting of the Democratic party of
New Hanover county held at the Courthouse in this
town. We make this announcement at the sugges-
ton of all the friends with whom we have conversed
upon the subject, and we have no doubt but it will
meet with the of all our friends through
out the county, who, we hope will see that every
portion is represented Let us have full meeting
to begin with.

A Democratic State Convention.

Our friends of the Carolinan and Standard have
been agitating the question of holding State Con-
vcntion of the Democratic party for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Governor. The fixing
upon time and place seems to be the only difficulty
as we believe it is conceded all hands that Con
venton should be and will be held. By the way, we
notice that good many of the upper counties have
cgates, but not named any time place. AS regards
tho place. we presume it will be held in Raleigh and
we have no objection AS regards the time, we &c
for the very latest day that be named We think
for several reasons that late day should be fixed
upon especially as the will be long enough
and too long, if the candidate is expected to trave
through the State,
If the nomination of the place were left to u.s. We
would unhesitatingly say Wilmington, as being il
many respects the most accessible, besides being The
largest and most fourishng town in the State The
people of the centre and west know very little of thu
east, and especially of Wilmington They have beer
in Raleigh and they know it but let them get dow1
here and it will disspate much of the prejudice which
exists between the different portions of the State
North Carolinians of the East and of the West d.
not know each other. They should become acquaint
ed. A large number of Railroad and other Conven
tons have been held at Greensboro and other point
West. Let us now have few State gatherings her
in the East.

Terrible Explosion and Loss of Lifc-Onc Huntire
People Buried the Ruins.

People Buried In the Ruins.
We learn that on last Monday morning the large
boiler in the extensive machine establishment
of Mr. TAYLOR, located in Hague street, New York,
blew up, with most tremendous explosion, entirely
destroying the building and buryng those who were
in it in the ruins The number of killed and wound
ed is estimated at over hundred, perhaps many
as one hundred and thirty. The number of hands
employed by Mr.. TAYLOR was about seventy nearly
all of whom were in the building. Messrs. ST. JOHN
BURR & Co., who occupied part of the same build
ing, as hat mandatory, employed about equal
number of hands, Omen and boys,) who were mostly
there at the time of the explosion. There was also
a book bindery in the same building, in which
large number of young ladies, girls, and boys, were
employed Owing to the intense cold, very few of
the females had come ; some, however had arrived,
and it is believed were buried under the ruins. The
building set fire by the explosion, and streams
of water had to be poured on it to extinguish the
flames, by which it is feared that many persons in
the ruins have been drowned. All day on Monday
an eager crowd gathered around the ruins endeavor
ing to extricate the dead and wounded Some twenty
five had been got out but so mutlated as hardly to
be recognized. Shrieks and groans were still heard
from amid the smouldering building.
Inc explosion Is supposed 10 nave occurreo run
the water having frozen in the pipes. The fireman
kindled the fires somewhat earlier than usual, and
the catastrophe occurred after the steam COM
menced generating. AS soon as the boiler exploded
the entire building raised some six eight feet
from it's foundation, and tumbled down, crushing
nearly every one it, The loss of property is estima
ted at about $4,000, mostly covered by insurance.

built and registered at Pttsburg, Pa. during thu
