"The fearful agita,ions of the last session. that
shook the whole country, and threatened to sever
| the Union into pieces, have now entirely passed
on and the rolitcai demonstrations that have
been made by the people in every State in the
Union, since the close of the last session, have
completely settled the question in regard to the
continuance of the Federal Union. This the uni.

The agitations of the last Congress have resultej

MA, the great and overwhelming majority of the
people, OF all parties, are for the Union, and moth
ing but the Union.
This is a great and glorious result and the
contemplation of it fills with gladness the heart Of
every true lover OF his country. The thought last

deliberations Of Congress then commencing its sit

Of his party is out against him. Secessonism and
Nashville Conventionism are whipped out and
he New Orleans Courier rejoiceth. This is the
end Of Souleism in Louisiana. This is the
spitaph upon its tomb. The Courier was ultra
vas Souleish-had fancy for the Nashville
Convention. 1t is under new directors. 1t sees
lew auguries. It re-echoss its old conductor, Mr..
Wagner. 1t rejoices in the triumph of the Com
romise. Good night to Mr.. Soule good dav to
rem. Downs.
1t is private matter. We have not word to
ay-of course, not. We are in favor of the Com.
romise. We support Downs; we like Mr.. souIe
personally. Politically we do not like him. Pc.
tlcally we would desire him out of the Senate,
nd put good Union and Compromise man-such
$ Downs-in his place.
But the Courier against Soule-tha,'s hard,
he Courier rejoicing over Union and Compromise
lctories-thafs queer. What next, Mr., Soule's
hances grow small by degrees and beautifully
ss " for support. Let him come to us for advice.
Fe will teach him the Union and Compromise
uslc, and then-let him try the experiment.
