The Whigs and the COMPROMISE

Abundant testimony has been pro-
duced to show that the whig leaders
support the compromise more with the
view of making political capital than
from a feeling Of loyalty for tire Union.
This is very evident from the fact that
in those quarters where the Comprom-
se is popular the wings do not seek 10
reconcile and conciliate its opponents,
but, on the contrary, do every thing in
tlfeir power to aggravate their dissatis-
faction, and taunt them into cxcesses.
We have never seen in a whig jonFn-
al, the first instance OF charity cr tol>
Grafton, in relation TO South Carolina.
Instead of soothing her, of reasoning
with her, of seeking by mild persuas
sves and appeal to sustain that proud,
and impetdous people, they say and do
every thing to goad them on.
This is very far removed from our
ideas of patriotism and daty, and it
filings over the policy Of the whig par>
ty very suspicious aspect.
We have been much struck with
series of every able editorials on this
subject in the Washington Uuion, and
we invite attention to the the subjoin>
ed extracts.
The compromise aha the Democratic Party.
In proportion as the public sentiment
develops ITSELF and manifests an acqui-
escence in the Compromise of the last
Congress, VIC see, in various quarters
of the Union, symptoms of discomfort
in leading organs of the whig party.
This vefliies our remark on several
previous occasions, that this conprom,
ise takes from the whig party, as for>
nerIy organized, the principal element
of its vitality
In every portion Of the Union, VIC
sec that the democracy maintains not
only ITS consistency as the advocate of
: the Constitution and the Union, but
mat it is sensible of the great impor.
tance of maintaining its old organiza-
tion on the platform Of Washington,
! Jefferson, and Jackson. 1t will never
i be driven from this platform by the idle
c defamation of its opponents who de-

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguerreotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
Industrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great OF he Re-
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits a National Gal
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in TIE
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countcnancc.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cued carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that i;s publication m,y make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious men Of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

therefore deem proper tn call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
