THE COMPROMISE, TIE
PRESIDENCY.

We think the country will commend
the stand the Wing Press has taken on
the subject Of the Compromise Meas
ures, as connected with the next Pres
idential Campaign, Different parties,
and the friends of different prominent
individuals are agitating the question
ofthe Presidency through the press and
by popular assemblages; the chances,
position and availability ofaspirants are
being moro discussed than their princi,
pies. 1t is not enough TO know that a
candidate is q democrat or whig--not
sufficient that he is a strong Union
man, but the people will want TO
know if he is the firm friend Of the
Compromise measures if he, like our
excellent and patriotic President, re,
CARDS the slavery agitation as finally
settled by those measures, and will sec
that they are faithfully carried out
No man, says the wing press, who II
not Sound" on this subject can receive
the support oflhe Wing party.
The advocate Of the Compromise
before its adoplion--tho approvcr of j
aflerwards--and the faithful execute
of il, is the safest and best man unde
whom TO 60 forth to battle for its con
tinucd perpcIuity and execution, Thi
sentiment is growing on the publ
mind, and we would that it increas
and spread, until tho united voice O
the country proclaim MrLLARp Fill

one or more OF our sister States oil the

ern Congress, OF in any other manner, i;
an object worth many sacrifices, but not the
sacrifices involved in submission.
3. ReSolued, That we hold The right o.

cy, and that The denial Of that right would
furnish 10 an injured State the strongest
additional cause for its exercise.

GEN. CLARK'S ADDRESS.

GEN. CLARk'S ADDRESS.
This document has been fully commented
upon by the Wing press Of the State, and so
far as we have observed, has heen uniform.
ly denounced, as fire brand attempted 10
DO thrust into the Wing ranks. The States
man, the Oseola Independent, the Paris ller
cury the Louisiana Record and the Glasgow
Times have been particularly severe upon
it, whilst amongst the entire Wing press Of
the State, it has not found an advocate or
an apologst, so far as we have Observed
The only eulogies it has received have come
from the Anti-Benton presses-the quarter
from which. we suppose, eulogies were ex~
pected. We are gratiGed 10 find that the
Wing party does not intend 10 allow its har
mony to be disturbed by the introduction Of
any such useless abstraction, or mischievous
test" as Gen Clark proposes.-St. Louis
hltelHgencer.
There is still one part of Gen. Clark's
Address, which has not been answered
or alluded TO, from the fact that but one
editor is authorized TO speak of il "by
the card" We refer to his position in
the Legislative Wing Caucus. We
have heard various versions of what
was said and done in the caucus, on the
subject of the test" and desire to hear
the truth. Mr.. Crockett, we believe
was chairman of the caucus, and can
give a true history of its proceedings,
In his first article on the subject of the
Address, he promised 10 notice this part
of it. and we hope he will redeem the
promise at an early day.
PRESIDENT JACKSON ON SECESSION
President Jackson, in his proclamation
of tho 10Th of December, 1888, the
abosl and most statesmanlike docu
menl ever issued under his name, used
this language, which we repubIiSh be-
cause it Is just and true, and because
The influence of the authors name is
probably wholly extinct among the Lo-
cofocos Of the South:
Because the Union was formed BY com
pact it is said the parties 10 that compact
may, when they feel themselves aggrieved,
depart from it; but it is precisely because ii
is a compact that they cannot! A compact
is an agreement, or buding obligation.
$50 obvious are The reasons which forbid
this secession, that it is necessary only to al
lude to them. The Union was formed for
the benefit Of all II was produced By mu-
tual sacrifices Of interests and opinions
Can these sacrifices be recalled? Can the
States who magnanimousy surrendered their
title 10 the territories Of the West recall the
grant? VIII the inhabitants OF the inland
States agree 10 pay the duties that may be
imposed without their assent by those on the
Atlantic or the gulf for their own benefit
Shall there be free port in one State, and
onerous duties in another? No man believes
that any right exists in single State 10 in
volve the other in these and countless oIh9
evils contrary to The engagements solemnly
made. Every one must see that the othe
States in sel(defence must oppose il at al
r haznds.
