Governor Trousdale manifests his devotion to the
Union in this, that whilst he does not believe that the
Compromise does justice to the South, yet he urges
the South to acquiesce, and even submit to injustice
rather than leopard this glorious Union.
We submit to every candid mind if Gov. Trousdaie
does not stand upon infinitely higher ground in his
support Of the Compromise than does Judge Camp
bell. The one supports the Compromise as partl-
san looking no higher than party advantage the 9TH
supports it patriot, looking to the maintenance
and safety of the Union the controlling considera-
tons. but yet never allowing the northern people to
be deceived into the belief that they can violate the
compact with impunity."
There is much truth in the whole Of the above,
and particularly in that portion of it which declares
that Coz. 1rousdale shos0s strongly his deuo
tion to the Union By the very fact that although he be-
Heues the Compromise to be unjust in many respects ye
because he loves the Union he prefers rather to endure
a ,urong than to endanger its perpetuity." These
Whg leaders, according to their shoa0;ng, have
made no sacrifices for the Union; for they can per
ceive nothing in the Compromise to complain OF, but
they endorse it jus! and proper, and profess to re-
gard it as entirely consistent with the very principles
on which the Union was formed. What credit, then
as Union men, they deserve for their conduct
What sacrifices, we repeat, haze they made for the
Union?
The truth is, these men know better-it is their
party, and not the Union which they laSorng to
preserve. No matter what they may say, their
is calculated more than any thing else to invite ag
gression, and to destroy the very Union which they
profess much to love. They declare that the Com
promise settled the slavery question, and
yet they refuse to consider that question settled
long they hope to make party capital out Of it.
They assume to themselves great credit and consd-

selves to the people as its best friends, and yet they
have submitted to change of opinion principle
to preserve it. Such is Whiggery-such rather, is
Consolidation, which is but another name for old
John Adams Federalism.

and then decide for themselves. This country be.

facts, and we shall not complain. We do not fea1

SENATOR DouoLAs. We cut the following from
the Detroit Free Press:
"Mr. Douglas is about forty years Of age, and is
better known and appreciated as sound politician
and statesman ,han any Of his predecessors in the
political field at the time of life. The intellect
of Mr. Douglas contains strong infusion Of politi
cal magnetism-an attractive force which leaves him
no enemies. He is full man-not made to be driv-
into place in society, but natural growth, free,
liberal, enlightened and courageous. He occupies a
corresponding position in the public mind-and is
destined to advance as certain as he possesses the
proper qualities of head and heart which the common
sentiment of the country has awarded him."

the Convention would adjourn by the 18th July. That

their work in that time. May we not, however, Sc
