The Compromise.
Wing editors and the whg party in this State claim
great merit 10 themselves because they for sustaining
what is called the Compromise, now that II is passed.
and be altered by any act OF Kentucky Before
passed their wing administration strenuously opposed
1t; the President they elected would have defeated
When in jeopardy II was sustained by every demo-
cratic paper the Common wealth the best that could
be done against the whole power OF the wing admnstra
ton Wing editors very tame in its support, and
very decided in supporting the President opposed 10 II
Such friends they OF the Compromise then when it
in this Common wealth perfectly poiness and senseless
what huge friends TO il they are The Compromise con-
ssts Of five measures:
I'd The settlement OF the boundary OF Texas.
Sd The organization OF the Territories
4,h The abolition OF the slave trade in the District OF
Columbia.
9Th. The fugitive.slave law
Now, what has any slave State to do to sustain these
measures How Is any question TO be made Tor political
action that is in danger from the action OF the slave
trade California is in the Union, and propose 10
eject herr and II they did she is entirely out OF their reach
So, then, political issue be raised there TO Affect
that part OF the Compromise.
The boundary OF Texas is settled by bargain-,erms
offered one hand and accepted the other Tha,
question is fixed forever, and can't be changed.
The Territories organized without any pfoylso
either allowing or prohibiting slavery
What change in this do the wings intend TO oppose =
the application of the proviso excluding slavery On
that point no issue be made in the South II Is
proposed TO protect the masters property in slaves IN
those 1errtoDes by express ACT, will the wings IN
Kentucky oppose thal II that is the ground they take
lie, them come out and state Il They might find an issue
this point with in Kentucky, and should like
10 know II It's what they mean. Are they specially de-
lighted with the COMPROMISE because no provision ~
made IN the act protecting slave property IN those Tern.
tories As this is the only question they make in
Kentucky, will they tell whether they intend TO OPP
pose change that most OF The South insisted upon
But they need not trouble themselves. This part OF
the Compromise has support enough without them The
free States will take that such provision made
The territorial bills provide that these Territories, when
they in States, shall come in with or without
slavery the people shall determine Do the wings
propose 10 oppose changes in ths III they make
no issue South upon tho issue IN Kentucky. The
slave trade Is abolished IN the District OF Columbia Are
the wings OF Kentucky particularly anxious that this
should be susainedi They need not trouble themselves
This is free Stale they have The numbers and
the determination TO sustain II without the help Of the
wings OF Kentucky.
Lastly, we have the fugitive. slave law How the
wings propose to get ap Issue in this Commonwealth
on ha, question cannot conceive nor can any else
The support OF the Compromise IS proper issue in the
free States They have the power and the disposition TO
change H. To make II question IN those States is TO
the point II is sensible, PRACTICAL and vastly import
ant issue.
But there is in such issue in slave State.
Mos, that the South might be disposed TO alter in the
Compromise is unallerable The rest that any in the
South dislike they have the power 10 change II is
not with the free States powerful party there
disposed to change Of the Compromise that with
IN The power of Congress and If united, they could
do II.
The question North is, will you support the Compro.
mise il, and refrain from making change offensive
10 the southern Sates viii you tor the sake OF Justice
10 The OF the Union, whether you like II not
The question South is, will you aequesce in the Com
promise "a IL sands-as II Is manifesy unaterahle1 IL
- no part OF our business to laud the Compromise
There nothing in IL for Kentucky glory in The
South got nothing TO boast OF, 10 be particularly
pleased with II is enough that she acquesces in what is
unalierable by any power she has
The parade OF wing editors, therefore, it, in the first
place, IN bad taste, considering the Compromise owes
nothing to them, when help was needed, aud now they
have nothing TO do in supporting II. Their cordial ap
probation or disapprobaon is not Of the sehtes, conse
quence The cutlery all wing humbug TO deceive the
simple Let the wings mind their party in the free States
and see that they do not alter H. In that way they may
do some service
