Our neishbor Of The Democrat PROCESSES TO

yenable's speech affords pretty strong evidence
that he sueseeded In I" frightening the simple"
We do not feel disposed 10 discuss The question
Of the comparative utility Of the editor and our

The sdilor may call Us simple" and plume him
sell upon his own superior ability, but for all that
The public may give very different judgment.
The Democrat endeavors 10 sustain Mr.. yen-
able ia the defamation Of his mention 10 break
The compromise on ,he first opportunity. and axis

Suppose ]. was In 1852 that our LcgisIa-

North yielding something as well as The South.
The principle Of the Wilmo, Proviso uas not

should be observed as final settlement. Alas
for them, their hobby would be completely de
stroycd. Let the people Of The South determine
10 send to Congress such representatives as Nh
venabIe, pledged 10 break up the compromise
and let them be met there by such men from Tho
North IA we have referred TO above, and who car
calculate the excuses 10 which il would lead
Who could count with any degree Of certainty
upon the pcrmanence Of the Union. !.
We had hopes, short time since, that ON
neighbour had cast firm anchor in the Union, and
felt some lisfle assurance Of bis safety when he
declared his strong attachment to the Union, and
bis wish that North Carolina should not seceJe
awhih Southern Star gli,tcrs in our bright ga
lazy Of States" But since Mr.. Vcnable spoke
at Graham, the Democrat has cut loose from hi.
lnoorings, and seems to be in full sail upon the

He admits the fright Of secession to the fules

this week to do more than call their attention Z
the position occupied BY Mr.. Venable and 'h
Democrat on this momentous question.
