W The Union of yesterday actually ex-
presses the opinion that acquiesence" in the
compromise, is the general sentiment of all the
branches of the Democratic party North and
South" This is very violent hyperbole, yet
il is great concession at the same time. The
Union, the organ gives "cordial support to
the compromise "as towering monument of pa
triotism." Thisis going far beyond acquiescence.
But we invite the Union to produce single
expression of the Democracy Of single South
ern State in favor even of acquescence. Mean
time we commend the following from the Ar
kansas Democratic Banner, as evidence of the
sentiment of the party in that State
In another column, will be found the proceed
ings of the Democratic meeting in Phillips
county. The fourth resolution expresses, in
few words, the doctrine upon the Southern
question, which we have so earnestly and re-
peatedy advocated. It reads thus:
"That we view the measures of the late Con-
gress, known as the compromise measures, MS
unwise aggression, and unjust towards the
South and while we do not believe dissclu-
ton of the Union would remedy the evil, under
which the South labors-yet, as freemen, it is
our duty to demand, of our Northern brethren,
an equality of political rights"
The South, after the foul play she has re-
ceived from the North, has but little to rely
upon, save her own earnest and continued eff
forts Shorn of right that she has long proudly
maint lined-driven from an immense territory,
for which she spent her treasure, and poured
out her blood, and compelled to witness the vio-
lation of Constitution to which she has so
long and so religiously adhered as the rule OF
her conduct she will, indeed, exhibit fatal in.
fatuation if she longer beseeches by prayers anc
petitions, mercy and forbearance from the fanati
cism of the North.
We ought not, yet, to yield the struggle
We have but seen the beginning Of contest
which, if we dc not enter with determination
TO enforce our rights, We may never live to Sc
the end. They have sought to deprive us
our rights; and if we silently and humby sub
nit, the next step will be to rob us of our pror
erty.
We have been expelled from the State O
California, we have been denied home in eithe
New Mexico or Utah; we have been iuggle,
and tricked out of large portion of Texas
This much We have compromised away, or rattle
been forced to give up; and what have we il
return? Nothing but Fugitive slave bill
which was already guaranteed to us by the Con
stitution, and the execution of which, has so far
in every case, been most signal failure.
The question is still open for agitation, still
under the control of an unprinciped and fanati
cal majority in Congress. We have no assur
ance that we will be protected in our property
and peaceful pursuits. Hence lis, that we hav,
advocated resistancebold and determined re
sistance, until we shall not only get indemnit,
for the past" but security for the future"
We are rejoced TO see the high stand take,
by our friends in Phillips. They have ever beel
foremost in every good work, and ever had a
heart the happiness and welfare of the State

We observe that the Report of the Secretary
of State on Foreign immigration, for the year
1850, makes the number over $4,000. Ac.
cording to the rate at which il is now going on,
the number for this year will exceed 400 900,
The history of the world affords no example of
such prodigious migration
We supposed that the number for the last
few years had been largely augmented by the
Irish famine-and that it would diminish. But
if proceeds at the present, or at an accelerated
rate, it affords a subject of very serious CON
sidcration.
This emigration goes chiefly, almost entirely,
TO the North. The present population of that
section is about thirteen millions, and its natural
increase is at the rate of only about eighteen
per cent in ten years. In the next Ten years
the natural increase will probably be about two
millions. But the increase by emigration must
be at least three more, making the total in $780,
eighteen millions. The present number Of for
eigners in the North must be four millions, the
number then, seven millions. So that the popu-
lation of the North will in ten years be more
than one-half of foreign birth and foreign origin
As it is thus evident that the present and fu
ture numerical and political preponderance Of
the North is due to foreign emigration, and ms
the character of the government has undergone
and is undergoing, fundamental changes in con
sequence Of it, we think the subject deserves
the profound attention of the country

To the young men of the South belongs the
duty and the destiny of restoring her to the path
of safety and of honor, from which she has de-
waited so widely. When about ten years ago,
some seven or eight States of the Union failed
to fulfil their pecuniary engagements, all the
world resounded with their dishonor. In this
age of pedlars and shavers, financial delin-

South CAROLINA MILITARY PREPARATIONS.
The South Carolinian chivary, it is known,
have recently appropriated 100000 for bloody
weapons, and some Massachusetts Yankees have
got the job to make them-or part of them,
at least:
A friend informs the editor of the Woon
socket Patriot t1at "Messrs. Waters, of NIL
bury, Mass, have obtained the contract for the
small arms, viz 5000 muskets, 1000 rifles, and
1000 pistols. The field artillery are to be made
IN South Carolina, and the authorities were very
anxious that Messrs. Waters should manufao-
ture the small arms there also but this could
not be, and get the arms completed within the
time allotted by the contract. Messrs Waters,
however, hive contracted to establish the armory
in South Carolina, after the completion Of this
order"
We ara authorized to say that this statement
is utterly unfoundcd. No arms Of any kind for
South Carolina, nre to be manufactured Noah

dance were made from the Northern States for
that purpose, but the board of ordnance vern
enabled to supply themselves more advantsge-
ously, and made their contracts accordingly.

The APPEALING OCCURRENCE AT DANvILLE.-
The Lewisburgh Chronicle of Wednesday gives
the particulars of the injury TO the Methodist
church at Danvie, by lightning, on Sunday
last -
The congregation were kneelng in prayer,
just before the sacrament was to be adminis-
tered. There were no previous indications of
storm, except slight spriDkling Of rain, and
clond which seemed to be gathering in north
erly direction. The steeple was first struck. and
much shattered. After reaching the main build
ing, the electric fluid divided into two separate
currents-one passing through the ceiling and
along the chain by which one of the lamps was
suspended, (both of which latter were demol-
ished) directly down into the midst of the
crowded congregation, tearing up the floor and
pews considerably, and instantly killing Mrs.
Pencil, and inhcting alarming injuries upon her
sister,, Miss Vastine, and eight or nine others,
mostly females, besides stunning and otherwise
partially affecting many other persons. The la
dies dresses were much torn, as well AZ set on
fire, and in some instances ripped completely
open to the flesh by the force of the terrific bolt
Mrs. Pencils person bore no external marks Of
injury, but most of the others were scorched
and scoored to greater or less extent. The
other current passed out through the brick wall
by the front door, tearing off the facings and
prostrating young man named Jones, who was
Just at that moment in the act Of entering. The
lightning struck his right shoulder, tore his
right boot to fragments, and blistered his Aesh

peeled off when his clothes were removed.

time, says it was the most appalling scene Of
