The democracy are in all quarters, taking strong,
decided and manly ground in favor of the compro-
mise measures, while the wings either avoiding
any expression of opinion, OF are open-mouthed IN
favor of modification a repeal of one of them,
1T least The difference between the two par
ties was Strikingy manifested in the Pennsylvania
conventious-the wing convention voting down by
large majority resolution pledgng fulhlment OF
that part of the constitution relating to the return
of persons held to servce--the democratic conVen-
ton taking firm ground in support of it. More re-
Gently in the Connecticut legislature, is seen the
sort of dodge action by the wings. Inc wing
senate REFUSED TO PASS AN ADMIRABLE SET oF ~
SOLVES, SUSTAINING IN FIRM YET MILD TERMS 'ho
COMPROMISE measures-which had passed the mouse
bv vote of 1I3 to 35. The sectional wings OF the
north hold that it is not wise to discuss these naton
al things in state legisaturesthat they hau Detcr
be left with the people. But then their orators will
GO before that tribunal and blow the sectional bel
lows so long as there is wind enough left in their
bodies to do it,
But to return to the democracy. The Connect
cut house of representatives is democratic, and the
UNION resolutions of this body are exceedingly ap-
propriate They justly elevate the things that make
for union above all other things they express gull

EVERY democrat voting for them--the house by a
vote of l52 to 92-of those voting against them only
sir democrats! Here then is the voice of New Hamp
shire as to these measures-and the yea and nay list
shows that it is the voice Of the democratic party of
New Hampshire.
Such is the way the democrats il: all quarters
raying to the support of the Union, the constitution
and the law. All, did we say? No. not in all quar-
tiers. Here in Massachusetts, it is not Here there
is strong banker for the free soil esh-pots Presses
and politicians from whom the people have right
to expect better things chaking out the verriest
namby-pamby policy that proposed for the
adoption of manlness There is, they say, home
work enough to do: let us be as mum as the num-
mics of thousand years ago national affairs: let
trim sails to the free soil breeze, and take the
free soil vote let meet in convention follow the
wings in keeping still, and then--and then-what ?
The democracy can again ground arms to free soil
isn't can play into the hands Of Seward whigism.
We shall see, when the convention meets, about
all this. We shall see how many and who will con-
sent to be bound hand and foot to the of aboli

Abd-el-Kader's Situation DISCUSSED the House OF
Lords.
On the night of the both June. the Marquis OF
Londonderry brought the case of A bd-el Kader be-
fore the House of Lords, and wished to know wheth
er the government were in possession of any nfor
nation respecting his transmission to the Sutan's
dominions and whether instructions had been given
to the British diplomatic agents at Paris and Con
stantnople to facilitate the release of that eminen
warrior.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, speaking for the gov
eminent, replied that though private individual
his sympathies went along with those of the Mar
qus, and however glad he should he to hear of Add
el-Kaders release he could not help declaring that
as government, England had sort of right to in
terfere in the matter.
In introducing the subject the Marquis took oc
caSon to say that Add el- Kader had already beer
confined for long period; THAI, if his Imprisonment
continued much longer, it must endanger, ifno
shorten his life and that if he should fall under
the hardshps to which he at present sub jected
it would be foul blot the honor and escutcheor
of France. The Marquis then read letter from
Prince Napoleon to himself, follows
''What you have told of the Emir Abdel-Kader ha
filled me with very lively interest and recognize in you
anxiety for him the heart which ntereedeC
in favor of the prisoner of Ham. will
te to that from the first day of election the captvi
ty of Abdehader has to occupy attention
and to heart with ntoerable weight Thus
have often busted myself in attempting to discover the
which would enable to set him at liberty without
the risk of compromising the repose of Algeria and the safe
ty of our soldiers and colonies Even at the
inert ambassador nlon touUeL embassddeur) who
the point of starting for Constantnope, is instructed by
quis, that nobody will be happy than myself when
shall have the power of restoring Abdekader to liberty
"LOUIS NAPOLEON.'
The Marquis thought that an expression of opin
ION by the British government in favor of the lber
alton of the Emr would greatly strengthen tn
French Presidents hands in carrying his purpose.
Lord Brougham, after the response of the Marqui
of Landsdowne given, expressed strong feeln!
of sympathy for the captive warrior in the conclu
sion of his remarks saying that he did not blam
Louis Philippe nor Louis Napoleon for the conduc
but he did blame the public opinion of France
which he said was anything but sound and creditabl
to that nation.-N. Y. Express.
