that this course will be pursued. IL accords with
precedents already established In the Whig Con

1850, IL will be remembered that a resolution was

most unanimous vote whereupon Messrs Toombs

If any thing were wanting to prove Mr..
FiLLMoRE's fidelity TO duty, it would be fur
nished by the nnceasing hostility manifested
towards him by the abolitionists, who never
neglect an opportunity to abuse him as the
most formidable adversary they have to en-
counter. GERRIT SMITH, in the address no
ticed yesterday under our telegraphic head, as
sails the PRESIDENT and his associates because
they are inflexible in their determination to en-
force the Fugitive Slave law, and on this
ground pours upon them the whole stock Of
epithets of which he is master. He speaks Of
them as attempting to murder men" ''for re-
sisting the operation of the law !" and through
out the whole document labors to convey the i'm
preston that they, and they alone are TO be held
responsible for the Compromise, and for the
enforcement of its provisions.

The Cuban Anair.

The London Times of the 18th instant has
another article on the Cuban affair, suggested
by the arrival of the Havana prisoners in Spain.
Its tone is quite contrast to that displayed in
its former articles on the same subject, evinc-
ing, as it does, something like a desire to do
justice to the intentions of our Government
and the great body of our citizens. The charge
delivered by Judge CATRoN to the grand jury
at Nashville, Tenn, is referred to with marked
commendation, as containing ''as straightfor
ward an exposition of American law, and as
uncompromising condemnation Of the Cuban
delinquents, as could have been pronounced
by any authority in Europe"
Several ofthe papers received by the Pacific
publish rumor that negotiations are in pro-
gress for the purchase of Cuba by the British
government; but it rests upon no reliable au-
thority, and is altogether improbable. JOHN
BULL is quite as fond as JONATHAN of adding
TO his territories; but with all his selfrighteous
airs, JOHN prefers conquering and annexing,
as in India, to purchasing with hard gold, as
would be the case if Cuba were obtained. Be
sides, there are other considerations which
would wholly prevent the British government
from venturng upon such an experiment.

are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-

measures should be regarded in principle as

were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexon, they formed
n system of compromise the most conciatory

opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-

monstrate the necessity of further Legislation to
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion

and will be acted upon steadily and decisively
The peace of the country requires this; the Sc

TIME CHANGES.

Time changes, aud alas. It's true,
The friends we love, change with it, too
And we, ourselves, change day by day,
As time rolls OH his ccaseless way.
Time changes; Youth in Joyous glee.
Embarks upon Lifes stormy sea;
Ambitions to be rich and great,
Til crushd at last by ruthless Fate
Time changes /; manhood is attained,
But few the leeting IaureIs gained
The heart that once could warmly feel,
Is now, alas! like a hardened steel.
Time changes: age comes on at last,
Youth, Manhood, with their Joys are past
The friends of old are passd away,
And short the time ourselves must stay.
Time changes: in the church yard laid,
BY stranger hands our graves are made;
But bark, that angel-voice from Heaven's
bright sphere,
Dust unto dust'-Sprit, thy home is here

An Address
TO THE u % p L e.

A short time since there was desperate
attempt made by the so called "Union
party" to force the impression on the peo-
ple of this county, that the Southern Rights
party were Disunionsts--that the issue be-
fore the country was one of Union or Dis
union For time, this humbug was so
strongly. urged that every one who dared
TO take the part of the South against the
North, and truly represent the many acts
ofwrong and injustice committed and threat
ened by the northern people through the CO.
operation of Congress against the South
and her indisputable rights under the con.
stirution, and advise her to unite and take
prorer measures to arrest the progress of
the threatened evils. were denounced and
branded as disunionists, wishing to destroy
the Government.
Although, this attempt to deceive the
people, was promptly repelIed aud exposed,
yet it did not stop the sIander; the same
attempt was soon made again, but in quite
different form. The cry was now raised
and swiftly carried through the ranks of the
" Union party" that the Southern Rights
party were not disunonists, no, not at all, but
they were secessionists, wishing to peacea-
bly, withdraw from the Union Immediately.
This unfounded assertion was in its turn in
stantly met, fatty contradicted and shown
to be utterly untrue.
Col. jeff Davis, on the 10Th of Novem-
Der, $780,. in letter which has been ex
tensive'y circulated in this county, in answer
to questions put to him by certain men,
bers of the legislature, expressly says: If

before them, attempted to fix on me the
charge OF wishing TO dissolve the Union
