SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN DEMANDs-THE DUTY OF
UNION EN.-The Southern Press--located at Wash
ngton the especial organ OF southern interests-de
mands that Congress shall "restore to Texas in case
she accepts the bill for her dsmemberment, the ursdc
fon TO the coded soil at least TO SO deg 80 mn, and
let Congress sell the land for the repayment of the
millions" II also demands that California shall be
south OF that line to have territorial government with
distinct provision lsouthern provso) that slavery is
not prohibited theein also, that the act prohibiting the
slave trade in the District of Columbia be repealed
While these demands put forth on the part OF the
southern uaiss, the northern aboitionsts are demand
ing the repeal OF the fugive-save bi 30 much OF IL
will throw the slavery question open again. and keep
up the agitation" in Congress.
The extreme OF both sections uniting their e
forts to break up the compromise measures OF the last
session OF Congress They united to prevent their pas
one and that the COOL we'll disposed portion OF the peo
pie will that the Compromise is sustained and in no
way disturbed.
Already has the agitation OF the slavery question so
imbittered the feelings OF OF the people at the
South, that they have Withdrawn their sons from our
colleges and many refuse 10 buy goods manufac
tured al the North This feeling s such that factories
established at the South encouraged and many new
ones are projected
The Southern Press demands the repeal OF the CON-
promise measures, the division OF Independent State,
listen TO.
In this state OF affairs. we may confidently appeal TO
the friends OF peace-inerna peace 10 this republcto
sustain the compromise measures In so doing, they
will put at rest the dlsracng agitation which has so
direct tendency TO break down long established BUSH
relations, and endangers a degree not heretofore
witnessed, the perpetuity OF the Union Tunes

years roll their tides over their memories and thew are
almost obefaled from the public recollection Collect
them into one yas "cy OF the deadD and they are con
santy before the eye OF the world 10 remind L Of ihel
virtues and their services and TO rebuke the spirit Of fac
tous dissenson. il i would wrong beray that coun.
y which they had chung to In their lives. and which had
repaid their fidelity when departed by nscribng their
names In the same marble register and allowing their
ashes to mngle in the same earth with those OF Wash
lngton
" So sleep the brave who sink 10 rest,
With all their counuy's honors blest"
Already have the places OF sepulture Of some of
most distinguished statesmen and philosophers and gallant
soldiers become hidden by brambes, and almost forgot
ten. Already has the obscured their names. and
the relentless tooth OF time eaten the record Of their
deeds on the tablets that preserved them Henceioh let
il not be said, TO shame, when some 'Oh Mortality
shall seek them, that they shall be found chokcd with
brars trodden on by the needless crowd Let them
be rescued from oblivion let their names and their acts
be feshened and frightened lot the places Of their last
rest be kept sacred and let the ravages of time be re-
paired by the hand Of an enlightened and grateful
people.
In order to prevent msapprehenson, will be proper
70 remark that il is not designed to intimate that the
National Cemetery should be established BY the federal
government, beauted and adorned by appropriations
from the public treasury To preserve the names and
the memories Of those deemed worthy OF place in
il should be the duty and the Office of the American peo-
ple acting voluntarily for themselves The duties OF
governments are TO control men--the virtues and the
noble deeds OF those they honor should live only in their
hearts.
