The TRUTH WELL ExPREssED.-There
is much truth in the following brief par
agraph from the Petersburg Intelligent
Ger:
"Much Of the opposition to the COM
promise measures is attributable to the
fact that they have been sanctioned by a
Wing administration. Had a Northern
Democrat been in the position now oc.
cupied by Mr. Fillmore, and given his
assent to the compromise bills, many
who now denonnce the adjustment would
have been loud in their praises Of the
Northern man who :hus manifested his
Southern feelings. We believe this as
firmly as we believe that the sun shines;
and we further believe that had President
Fillmore, instead Of signing the compro-
mise bills, placed his veto upon them,
those who now so bitterly denounce the
measures, would as bitterly denounce Mr.
Fillmore for not giving his assent to
them"

MEMPHIS AND ST. Francis PLANK ROAD
Yesterday was the day appointed for the
opening of the books of subscription to
the Memphis and St. Francis Plank Road
Company, chartered at the late session
of the Arkansas Legislature. The pro-
visions of this charter are extensively
liberal TO the shareholders, wtrich, togeth-
er with the immense travel that must al
ways pass over it, and the fine abundant
country whose productions it will devel-
ope, must make the stock the best invest
ment Of capital now open to the public.
The inclemency Of the weather yester-
day, and lapse of memory as to the day,
doubtless prevented many from attend
ing. To such we would say that the
books will be kept open for some days
vet at the Commercial Hotel. Apar;
from the advantages of this road as good
investment of capitol, it will be so ad-
vantageous to Memphis. that our citi-
zens would do we'll to take the stock and
build it, apart from any consideration Of
remuneration in the shape of dividends.

MASSACHUSETTS AND DIsUNIoN.-It Is to
be deplored that State which took so
conspicuous a part in tie scenes OF the
Revolutions State which has produced
so many great and patriotic men, and
amongst them Daniel Webster-should
be enthraIled and clouded, as it is at pre-
sent, by the spirit of misguided and reck-
less tanaticism. Boston has become the
rr;rcipal theatre of abolition exhibitions,
and characters calling themselves respect
able. there utter their denunciations OF
the laws of the land. and scof at the pro-
visions of the Constitution. Were the
excitement there prevailing the mere
efferveecence Of the unprincipled-of men
without influence, restless, and desirous
of any charge whatever-we would have
but little to apprehend. But we regret
to learn that the dark spirit of Abolition
hand in hand with that of Disuaion. has
spread itself widely throughout Massa-
chusetts, and if not dangerous 10 the
Union. at least threatens to be trouble
some. In opposition, however, to this
extensive feeling of reckless fanaticism,
there is redeeming feature, in the TACT
that the public officers seem determined
to discharge, fearlessly, their duty-"at
all hazards and to the last extremity"
Nor are these without strong backing
from the soberminded and truly patriotic.
When the fugitive slave bill was pass
ed by Congress, and measures were taken
to carry out the provisions of the Con-
stitution, the South, Notwithstanding the
cry of the chivalric ultras, had nothing
of which to complain. 1t was fully ac-
knowledged by the North. to be matter
of right, secured to tine South by the
Constitution. The matter was thorough
ly and ably discussed. and those who
now oppose that bill. not only rekindle
the rebuked spirit of injustice. but array
themselves against the direct and positive
law of the land. If the fugitive slave
bill is to be resisted, what use is there in
making laws against robbery and arson
and murder? They exist by the same
authority, and he who opposes one, op-
poses all. and would pull down the pillars
Of civil government itself.
There are those whose acts tend to
disunion, while their mouths are full of
philanthrophy and religion. But these.
from their very excuses. are less danger
Gus than those who insidiously contend
that the dissolution of the Union would
be benefit to all. Some portion of pity
mingles with our harsh estimate of the
former class; but unmitigated scorn is all
the feeling we have for those whose
hearts warm not at the memories Of other
days-who would coldly parcel out our
revolutionary glories. and plant hostile
banners or the graves of our fathers.
