TIL. Compromise and tennessee.

The Union is strong on the Compromise,
and is for hanging and quartering without
mercy all the Northern men of all parties who
do not stand up to the measures of Adjustment.
1t thinks the salvation of the country depend
ent on their observance in good faith. But how
tenderly it touches the Southern DEMOCRATS
who oppose the Compromise, and are in favor
of resistance" In Tennessee, for instance
the DEMOCRATIC candidate for the Gubernato-
rial office, General TRoUsDALE, is an out-and-
out anti Compromise man, and yet the U,tion
handles the General so gently that one would
hardly suspect him of any such tendencies.
1t supports his cause, though TRoUsDALE' s
election would be an anti Compromise triumph,
and would do more than any thing just now tend
ing to foster and stimulate the anti Compromise
party in the northern States. Now we should like
to understand by what process of reasoning the
Union persuades itself that an anti Compromise
DEMOCRAT will answer for Governor, but
that it must read out of the DEMocRATIc party
anti Compromise Senators. We submit, that
unless the Union intends TO go for half the
Compromise, and against the other half, it
ought not to support TRoUsDALE in Tennessee,
and oppose SUMNER in Massachusetts.

WMg'. Denis. Fres-soa Free soil

II will be that the Democrats have clear
majority in the above States of from six to twenty
two, count the Democratic Free soilers for or
against them.
The thirteen States which have not yet elected
members of Congress, we're represented in the last
House by twenty eight Whige, sixty Democrats,
and one Democratic Free soiler. 1t is not at ali
probable they will do as badly as this at the ap-
preaching elections. Several OF them, especially
Georgia, Mississppi, and Alabama, are merging
old party divisions In these States Union and Dis
union are the ralIying points. In Virginia the
same issue will enter largely into the contest. How
far they will alter the result, is impossible
foresee. In all these States, however, the Wings
have nothing to lose, and have good chance to
make gains Theyehave also fair chance for
gains in Tennessee, California, Indiana, and Ken
lucky. AT the best however. we hardly hope
to elect half OF the members to be chosen from these
States. We can, then, only anticipate that the
present Democratic majority in the House will be
increased. or at least maintained in the next Con-
gress.
the next Congress. In the event of there being no
election of President by the people, the choice will
devolve upon the House Of Representatives. Each
State, through its delegation will be entitled to
vote. AS there are thirty one States, the votes of
sixteen States will be necessary to election. In
the above eighteen States, the Wings have MAORI
ties in Vermont, Massachusetts,, Florida, Michigan
and Missouri-fiv the Democrats in Maine New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Illinois and Iowa-seven. The Free -soilcrs have
Wisconsin--one. Now Hampshire, Rhode Island,
and New York have equally divided delegations;
and in Connecticut and Ohio the Free soilers ap-
pear to hold the balance Of power.
or the thirteen States which yet to elect, the
Wings had majorities in the last Congress in the
delegations Of North Carolina and Kentucky-two;
the Democrats in the remaining States, with the
ceptien Of Maryland, whose delegation was equally
divided. 1t 10 obvious that the Wings must carry
eleven of these thirteen States to have the control
OF the Presidential vote OF the House, achieve
ment quite beyond hope. The Democrats must
also carry nine to be quite and this they prob
ably will be able to do. 1t is, however, by no
means improbable that the States Of Georgia, Mis-
vided delegations. In that event, the Wings having
the control of three of the remaining delegations Il
is difficult to how the House will be able to make
an election. At all events, it is obvious that the
Whg party has nothing to hope for from the House,
and that to succeed at ALL they must do so through
the people and the electoral college.

settlement Of horse claims, and graciously prom

Tho Presidents Boston Letter.

The letter of President Fillmore to the Boston
authorities is at once dignfed in tone and excel
lent in matter. His opinions are expressed with
out reserve, but also without dogmatism he is
firm, yet courteous; positive, but not arrogant. 1t
would be captious, in his political opponents,
to except to the stye of the epstlc. Moreover the
sentiments arc in every respect worthy of friend
Of the Constitution. Indeed, in President Fill
more's hands the compromises, made by our fore
fathers will, it is evident, be honestly maintained
While rebukng faction severely, he does not for
get, however. to do justice to those patriots who, in
despite of surrounding agitation, have exertcd
themselves, in Boston, to sustain the Laws and
Constitution. The compliment, paid to Massachu
setts for her sacrifices in the cause Of liberty in
l776, is especially well timed; for to recall the
great deeds of tho past ia to insure people, as it
were, against present evil nets. On the whole,
this letter is highly crcdtabe to President Fill
more, whether considered proof Of his ability
as pledge of his patriotism. With the Exocu-
tive chair filled by magistrate rcsolute, as he
appears to be, TO execute the laws, tho Republic
may be considered as secure against any internal
evils which may threaten it.--Phiia. Bulletin.

Redemption OF the Debt OF Maryland.

The Baltimore american states that, accord
ing to an advertisement in that paper, the Com
missioner of Loans, under instructions from the
State Treasurer, will pay on the first July
next the balance of the outstanding funded
stock issued for arrear interest. The american
says:
"This stock. it will be recelleccd was Issued for
interest in arrcar during the suspension of the
State from lS42 TO 1S4S On the first July next the
State will have paid all the stock issued for arrear
interest, amounting to $S7s,73745. The first pay
ment in redemption of this stock was made in Oc-
tober, ls49, and the whole will have been paid,
with interest, in less than two years. II will be
gratifying TO every true son OF Maryland to know
these facts constituting they do the substantial
evidences Of the strict maintenance of the States
faith and Of the steady and sure redemption of her
public debt. Having tbus disposed Of the funded
arrears of interest the surplus Of the State
will hereafter be exclusively applied TO the rcduc-
ton Of her funded debt proper"

The Thirty-second Congress.

Full delegations have been chosen to the
next Congress from eighteen of the thirty -one
States. These include the three great States
OF New York. Pennsylvania, aad Ohio. AS
several months intervene between the present
and any of the coming Congressional elections,
1t seems suitable moment to review the
ground, to ascertain what has been done, aud
to determine, as far as it can be done, what
notifications may be looked for from the future
Party lines have been much disturbed Of late by
the disracting sectional divisions, that it ia diff
cult to assign the relative places Of some OF the
members elect OF the next Congress. To obviate
this We have arranged them into four classes-
Wings, Democrats, Wing Free-soil, and Demo-
cratic Free-soil Even this does not remove the
whole difficulty. We have placed in the third
column several members who reliably Whig
upon all essential questions yet were elected
ciass them. There are other difficulties, of less
moment, in an attempt at classification Of such
elements. The following table will, however, be
found sufficiently explicit for our purpose:

MIR. Bsnton's proposed Work.

| We have reason TO believe in the correctness
Of the statement published in some of the
| northern papers, that Colonel BENTON is at the
present time engaged in the preparation. of a
History of the Working of the American Gov
ernment from the day he took his seat in the
Senate of the United States down to the 4th Of
March last--a period of thirty-one consecutive
years, during all of which he was member OF
that august body. Colonel BENTON, we are
pleased to learn now in the possession of robust
health and all who know him will readily be-
lieve that he brings to the performance Of this
arduous task untiring industry, and an intimate
acquaintance with all the principal operations
of the Government during the period referred
to, and especially with those stirring events
and their springs which took place dur
ing the administration of President WcKsoN.
AS there is hardly any important public measure,
during this long series Of years, in which the
| Ex SENATOR has not performed a prominent
part, so we may expect work of great interest
from his pen. His speeches and course on the
various questions which have been agitated will
doubtless form no inconsiderable part of the
groundwork Of the forthcoming history. The
New York Journal ef Commerce, referring to
this subject, says:
"The period alluded to has been full Of exciting
and important events both in and out of Congress;
and if an impartial history be furnished of the
working Of our Government during that interval,
1t will be Invaluable not only to the present gene
ration, but to postcrity. Whether Colonel Benton
ia able to dvest himself of his strong personal
attachments and prejudices, as to write an impair
tial history of events in which he was himself a
prominent actor, will not undertake to decide.
That he aims to be impartial, do not doubt; but
it requires mighty effort to overcome the ten
denotes Of his nature. In other respects few men
are better qualified to do justice to the subject.
He is dictionary of facts; his memory ia an in
exhaustibc store house; and there are within his
| reach abundance of illustrative papers and
documents, public and private. 1t ia known to
many that Colonel Benton has long contemplated
this inside history Of the workings of our Govern
ment and OF parties. He had intended to leave it
for publication after his decease; but being now
out Of the public service, he will publish it soon"

The Treasury DEPARrMrNr.-The Department
of the Treasury is now better organized, and the
administration of its duties ia moro prompt and
efficient, than formerly. 1t was noticed some
months ago, in our Washington correspondence,
that Mr.. Corwin was engaged in an examination
of the several bureaus of the treasury, with view
to improve the management, and that in his own
Office he had made beneficial changes. We now
learn that he has got tho Department in good trim.
Formerly, every one knows, business Of i'm
portance might be brought before the Department,
and there lie without attention for weeks and
months, and even for years. Merchants used, in
many instances, to be obliged TO writc to the De-
partment some twenty or thirty letters, on the
same business, and even then perhaps without n
reply. 1t was the custom 20 evadc the response
bity Of decisions by simply fling papers and ap-
plcations. As to the severnl bureaus. their busi.
ness was generally two or three years bchindhand
Such, indeed, continued to be the condition Of
the Department until after the term nation of the
Inst Congress But now every letter that is re-
ccivcd meets with prompt acknowledgment Mr.
Corwin has directed that every days mail shall be
attended to on the day Of its receipt.
While the current business is thus promptly de-
spached, nearly tho entire business of two or three
years accumulation has been brought up, and tho
whole of it soon wi | be.N. y. Jo1r. of Commerce

of them his old political, and not few his per-
sonal friends-was calculated to remove them,
and TO restore old attachments. Frequent as
were the occasions ON which the PRESIDENT
was called to address the people, and unstudied
as his remarks necessarily were, in no instance
did he fail to utter; in the most frank and un-
reserved manner, those sentiments which form
the chart of his Administration; and yet on no
occasion did he give utterance to sentiments to
which either Wines or DEMOCRATS have any
where taken exception.
Opportunities were afforded, also, by this
tour, for the people to hear Mr.. WEBSTER, Mr..
CRITTENDEN, Mr.. HALL, and Mr. GRAHAM,
upon the absorbing topics of the day; and it is
not too much to say, that at no time of his life
has Mr.. WEBSTER put forth his powerful elo-
quence and great mental energies with more
effect upon the public mind than in his late
visit at Dunkirk, Buffalo. Batavia, Rochester,
Syracuse, Utica, and Albany.
1t is not surprising, therefore. that ''the
WHIG party now in New York is coming right,
and that rapidly, too" We trust the movement
will go on with an accelerating speed until hos
tility to the Compromise shall be confined TO
the Free -soilers and Aboitionists at the North,
as it is to the Secessonsts and Disunionists at
the South.

The Administration.
From the Alsnandria (Va.) Gasetie.

From the Aierandria (Va) Gazette.
Order, regularity, harmony, strict perform
ance of law, prompt execution of duty, and a
faithful adherence to constitutional obligations,
have marked the course of the present Admin
istration, and given to it dignity and charac-
ter which even its opponents forced to respect
and frequently TO applaud This praise, though
high, cannot be disputed by unprejudiccd men. In
addition to this, it may be said that tho talents OF
the members comprising the Administration, their
experience and their business qualifications, rem
der them reliable and safe men--men in whom the
people can have confidence, and upon whose judg-
ment and sagacity they can depend.
If we look at tho manner in which the public
affairs entrusted to the management Of the Admin.
isration have been attended to since the accession
of Mr.. Fillmore to the office he hods, must ad-
nit that every thing has been conducted success
fully Both our foreign relations and our domes-
tic concerns and have been superintended with
great discretion and prudence. We suppose, in
minor details, everybody has not been suited but
generally satisfaction has been given, and party
itself cannot rally opposition upon the acts and
measure Of the Executive Department of the Gov
ernment.
The moderation of the Executive too, is to bo
considered and regarded. 1t is especially import
ant in the present condition of affairs that we should
not have an ultra administration. Neither the
times nor the circumstances of the times are such
as to authorize administration to take extreme
ground. The temper of the people requires a con-
ciliatory and compromising disposition. Firm
ness is absolutely necessary-but not passion ,l-
traism.
Upon the whole, we confident that it is fortu-
nate and happy for the country that have at tic
head Of affairs the statesmen who now constitute
the Administration We entirely approve of their
policy. We particularly approve of it as citizens
of the South, and deeply interested in the prosperi-
ty and safety of the South. We have so far found
security, and want to continue that state of sc

which are paraded through the Streets warning the
public to 'bsware Of mock auctions" this species
Of swndling seems TO be as abundant and success
