RICH IND, VA.
Saturday Morning, May Is, 1850.
Public Opinion Of The Compromise.


The Southern press, with few exceptions, gives
Senate.
The Charleston Mercury and Columbia State
Banner as matter of course, oppose it. The
Raleigh Standard and Charlottesville Jefersonian
misguided by the Richmond Enquirer intimate
dissent. These are all the disappearing Southern
papers now before us.
We are glad to see that the Charleston Courier
warns Southern men who oppose the compro-
mise, to ''look well to the fellowship that awaits
them" and then quotes the declaration of the N Y.
Euening Post, Gree Soil) that, by adopting the
plan, "the South receive every thing they wish,
and the North relinquish every principle :or which
| they have been for years contendng"
The Raleigh Register says:
"In our humble Judgment it proposes plan for the
settlement OF all differences which is fair and equitable
compromise, which, as was remarked by one Of our
own Senators, taken as a whole, should be received
with cordlalty-yes with pleasure 1t recommends
accepted without the sacrifice Of principle"
The Ne'obernian says
"The objections that were made by several Southern
Senators are rather unexpected The report appears to
u.s. after careful perusal, to embrace plan for the set
ement OF this agatng question, favourable to the
South as could reasonably have been expected Whilst
we should contend for all just rights care should also
be taken not to demand more Such course may very
possibly result in the adoption of scheme less ia
Vourable than we have right to expect, and that
the South cannot accept The blame in that case would
rest on those who throw obstacles in the way Of fair
and honorable adjustment"
lnthis last remark there is world of wisdom.
The Staunton Spectator trusts that the Com.
promise will be 'approved by Congress and the
people. Pr e-.t...-.
AT one time lit says thought the plan recon-
mended by the President, the most expedent but SUBJ
sequen reflection has satisfied OF the wisdom of the
course adopted by the Committeeman of uniting all
the questions in controversy, in a general seement-
II California had been admitted into the Union, and
New Mexico and Utah left without territorial govern
ment they would have remained as bones OF conten-
ton Tor Free Sellers and Southern agtators to fight
over whenever the rtcuar purposes Of either were to
be promoted by squabbe.'
The Winchester Virguaian "a strong Demo-
mocratic paper0 has the following article, brief
but directly to the point:
A sketch Of this highly important document will be
found IN our Congressional columns 1t will be seen
that several Southern gentlemen declared themselves
against it. Subsequently, however, they Gained down,

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODY'S
WASTE.-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth fthe Brandrethan System, would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the rami
hcaons OF the system, not only imparts strength and
connuaes te but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part ofthe animal machine. If the
plood therefore is pure and healthy the BODY which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But there be in any part OF the body any affection such
as bile or ulcer, even a bruse the blood Circulating
hrongh that part takesup impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system This
IS the cause often OF sudden death to persons of full hab
It, afflicted with biles, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the hne blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life if bereft by lightning Now
this can be remeded-the Brandreth Pills will used
at these times, take out all impure matters from the cir
culaton and save the general health at the same time
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is to now find that this subject
be well comprehended it would save many from ted-
Gus times OF Sickness and often secure their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.

CUBA AND ITS THREATENED INVASION
The papers in this part OF the country have for sew
eral days past, abounded in paragraphs of the most
extrayagant nature respecting the gathering and trans
portaton OF illegally organized bands from ports Of the
United States destined to attempt the subugation of
the Island OF Cuba tor the purpose of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
by that exploit OF those who engaged in it, In
some of the papers the number of persons engaged in
this enterprise is said to amount twelve or thirteen
thous and men; another account represents Gen
Qutman OF Mississippi, to be the commander of the
forces, Gen. Lopez being second in command and
these stories are equally to be relied upon neither Of
them having much foundation.
The only statement the subject that we have seem
to which full credit safely be given is the follow
ing from New Orleans, furnished by Telegraph, and
OF the latest date:
ut is currently reported here and fl ON the M.
merous Indications believed by many that an expedition
is about forming to invade the Island ofCuba It is
well known that secret parations are making daily
to that effect and that the matter is fast rpenno into
maturity For several weeks pas the signs have been
SO ominous that no mistake them Arms

From Havana advices have been received of n, lata

C PROPER NAMESo

The time recently foreshadowed by the Union,
when men and actions were to be called by their
proper names, appears to have come. The mme-
date occasion for the manifestation of this radical
change in the course of "the true Democratic
press" is the publication of the late letter OF Mr.
Benton to Mr.. Alexander Walker, of New Orleans,
in which he tells that gentleman
"Thus far the infamy Of the dsunion movement rests
principally upon the Democratic papers, from the
duct Of some which have been leaders in the party
uhe Washington City Union and the Richmond En-
quirer, for exampe)-and have no communion with
such papers,"
The Union, of Thursday, after wearing its con-
siderng cap for some days, "comes back" at
"Old Bullion" in this wise: .-.-.
We publish below correspondence between Thomas
Fl Benton and the Hon. Alexander Walker of New
Orleans This correspondence has been before US for
time; but we had not it when our former
marks concerning Col. Bentons course were penned.
We itacise sentence, in the fourth paragraph OF the
characteristic production OF Col Benton, which speaks
of our designs and purposes, and pronounce the
sertion therein contained base and wicked caumny,
born OF the insane malice of its author whose intellect
has been deranged by the violent passions which
troll his conduct. We not only repel this charge
against and against the Democratic press, preferred
by one who has lost no opportunity, since the death
of General Jackson removed wholesome and restrain
ing apprehension from his mind, to strike at the valS OF
the Democratic party; but hur it back upon its
thor We charge dsunion sentiments upon Thomas
Hart Benton OF Missouri, and we give In proof his eft
forts to foment dscord-his efforts, founded on mere
pretexts, to defeat adjustment of our present difficult
tieshis daily consultations the floor OF the Senate
with Messrs. Seward and Halea illustrated, enforced
and made conclusive by the fact that he is now head
ing band OF aboltonss factionists and dsunonists
in hostile the best interests of the country
conraging aggression, engenderng sectional hostility,
and mperling the peace and permanency of glori
GUS confederacy. The charge Of disunionsm upon
others comes with ill grace from him under whose
lead the free soilers are now moving
Colonel Benton has, Of late, denounced everybody as
dsunionst who happened to doubt his nfalliblity or
fealty to the Democratic party. His denunciatons,
however, have been SO frequent and flppan to be-
come absolutely incredible and ridiculous The mass
ofthe American people disbeieve and laugh at them.

liable to be burned by the aka which forms SO large
portion OF other shaving soap, nor will become chap

NEGRO RESURRECTION IN GUADALoUpE-The brig
Ferdinand arrived at New Orleans on the 9Th inst in Is
days from ST. Pierre, Martinique, bringing letter to
gentleman in New Orleans from reliable source, ac-
cording to the Dea0 dated Martinique April 10, which
states that violent instruction had broken out among
the negroes on the adjoining island of Guadaloupe-
that the insurgents had burned the Government House
had committed many other atrocities and had made an
attempt to break open the prison and set the convics at
liberty In the latter effort they were successfully re-
sisted by the Governor and Council The Governor of
Martinique, with body of troops, had left fot Guada-
loupe to aid in putting down the insurgents This is the
result OF the fatal policy pursued towards its West India
possessions by the revolutionary party OF France The
sublimated and utopan dea blended in the famous tri-
nifty OF Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" may be of
questionable utility when applied to even M. de Lamar
tines own educated and polished counrymen-how ut
tery absurd then, the policy OF applying it to colonies
