The State of the Case.

The disposition of the North to sustain
the compromise measures is judged by the
southern Press, in an article viewing the
late Senatorial elections, as follows:
The Latc Scnat0fiai EIecttoHs.-The
commentaries of the various organs OF the
two great national parties on the recent
elections of Senators would afford amhse-
ment, if they did not excite sentiments OF
deeper kind. The National InteIligencer
expressed its regret at the election OF Sum.
ner, but rejoiced at the election of Wade -
The Republic is overcome with the treach-
cry of Massachusetts, democrats in eecting
Sumuer, but applauded The wings Of New
York for eecting Fish.
Now, it is not only obvious that each
party avails itself in the North of tree-soil
coalition when an opportunity occurs, but
that each prefers an alliance of that sort to
one with its regular opponents.
The wings Of Massachusetts could have
easily elected Hallet, a compromise demo-
crat, by uniting with the twenty-seven de-
mocrats, who refused to vote for Sumner,
And these .wenty-seveh democrats could
have elected a compromise whig by uniting
with the wings. The same policy could
have elected compromise men in Ohio and
New York that is, provided, in those thiee
States the friends of the compromise have
amajority of the people. But this, it is now
clear, is not the fact The election of free
soilers to the Senate, is evidence that the
compromise is rejected, by those States
And the attempts of fragments OF the tive
great national parties in other States
friendly to the compromise, to lmPute thes'
aIections to their opponents are self-decep

Walks forth of marriage yonder gentle queen
What chaste sobriety whene'er she speaks,
What glad content sits smiling on her cheeks,
What plans of goodness in that bosom glow,
What prudent care is throned upon her brow,
What tender truth in all she does or says.
What pleasantncss and peace in all her ways!
Forever blooming on that cheerful face,

Her eyes are rayed with love, serene and

Her kindly voice hath music in its notes.

How sweet to think, when far away,
From those we've left with pain,
If Death withholdS his icy hand,
That we may meet again .....
When forced TO wander DER the land,
Or tempt the treacherous main,
The pleasing thought oft fills the breast,
That we may meet again.
When lover, sister, brother, friend,
Are sought for but in vain.
There nought that cheers so much as thl
That we may meet again.
But. ah there's many one we meet,

Whom we are forced TO wish, that we
May never meet again.
My neart is sad. my harp is mute,

That wemay meet again.
And oft, at twilight's holy hour,
I'll pray, and not complain,
That we, if not on earth, in heaven,
AT least, may meet again.

SLAVE LAw.-On the 2Sth nit, Gov.
Troustlale and Col Campbell com.
mcnced tho Canvass for Governor in
Tennessee. During the first speech
of Col. Campbell, who is the whlg
candidate; he used the following Ian
euago, according TO the Nashville
American:
"Iie did not believe that Congress
would attempt to repeal or modify the
Fugitive Slave law. He was not in
favor of leaving The Union Il the law
was not executed lie would enforce
it by sending an army there, lie was
not in favor of secession for few free
negroes and few worthless white
men,
The above shows very clearly that
the politicians Of the Wing party, do
not intend to stand by the South, even
if the fugitive slave law is repealed,
or set aside by the popular feeling Ip
the Free States, They will counsel
Submission then as they do.
