At the celebration OF the Fourth OF July By the Gin
einnz,i Society Of New York. Ex-Governor Fish, re-
Gently elected United States senator, present, and
made speech defining his position the compromise
laws OF the last Congress
On reading this speech, the Republic places Mr. Fish
in the same category with Messrs Cobb Toombs, and
Stephens. Of Georgia How far the application may be just
in regard TO Messrs. Toombs and Stephens II is not our
purpose TO discuss But as between Governor Fish
and Mr. Cobb, apprebend that they occupy different
positions In the letter OF Mr. Cobb in TO the let
tel OF the committee of the Georgia convention, an
nouncing to him his nomination the Union dem.
ocrac candidate for governor, published 10 this paper
Of July a. he expresses his approval OF the com
promise on their own merits. There is no
mental reservation or equivocation this matter.
He pledges himself for The Adjustment, no, only be-
cause il was due to the South, but because the
measure itself was sanitary and remedial and suited
10 the times and the condition OF the country. On the
other hand ex Governor Fish renders reluctant assen,
this great measure OF compromise and relief, merely
on the principle that in this trying emergency something
be done for the satisfaction Of the South and the
permansncy Of the Union and that these laws, having
been passed. while they the s,suie-book ought TO
be faithfully executed. But then this thing omitted
modify the fugitve-slave act, will Mr. Fish oppose il
Will he denounce IL Win he summon his friends to
the support OF The Adjustment, as it stands We believe
not II weighed in the balance, he will be found want
ing He does not by any means go so far as Mr.. Cobb
who boldly yindcaies the merits OF the Compromise
These are the distinguishing features between the ela
tive positions Of Mr. Cobb and Ex-Governor Fish, al
understand them and, il mistake not, they pre-
the true criterion OF distinction between the Unor
democrats and the Union wings everywhere upon TIM
point
Ex-Governor Fish is of talents, and occupies
prominent position the North. He has lately beer
governor and he occupies the position OF senator
from the great State OF New York OF course, his views
and opinions on all subjects have great weight The
sentiments and actions OF such men are of vast import
anee, for veal or for in shaping the aims and
ures Of this government Occupying such prominent
POSITION was to be hoped that Mr. Fish would have come
out unequvocaly on all measures and especially the
srea, measure of adjustment In his speech he evnces

exposed, and the importance OF the crisis through which

the habit OF well.meaning statesmen of the North TO
preface speeches in favor of the Compromise by profess

is no abstraction in the matter. Slavery is prac-
teal institution, not only essential to the tranquility and
the very existence of fifteen States of this Union, but il
is guaranteed in the most formal and positive by
the terms Of the constitution. Away, then, with homi-
