GREAT MEN. AS WELL AS GREET
DEMOCRATS, WILL DIFFER.

This seems to be the case espec'aIy 'i'
reference to tho Compromise. Tie Demo-
Gratis of the Northwest, of Washington and
of Old Virginia, approve of the Compromise
and pledge themselves to sustain it, while
we have section of the Democracy here.
abouts who are opposed 10 the Compromise
as insulting to the South end aggressive on
her rights, ond who are in favor of resis-
tunce and acquiescense at The same time.
We recommend to this class the extracts we
give below from Mr.. Senator King and
Father Richie. We give FIRST an extract
from the late letter Of Hon. S. w. Ingc.
Great men will differ:
"The passage Of the measures CT the last
Congress is the handwriting on the we'll
announcing the extinction Of slavery, or the
ultimate destruction OF the Union, and in
opposing them, claim to have been aciua-
ted not less BY q regard TO Southern rights
than by patriotic devotion to the Union
which it was my anxious desire to uphold
in its pristine purity, and to Perpetua'e to
the last generation of men,"
Thus says Mr.. Ingc Now read from an
older, more experienced and wiser man,
Hon. VIM. r. King:
"From all the indications, there Is less
danger of entertainments, upon Southern
rights than at any time for the last twenty
years. The fugitive slave bill will be en-
forced in despite Of all the efforts OF the
funaticul wretches Of the North to prevent
it. Sincerely do hope that our Southern
teople will not suffer themselves to be hur.
ried into revolutionary measures BY dema.
gogues or political aspirants."
Again, the following from old father
Thos. Richie, the head Of the Democratic
church-he says:
"This Compromise system has been dopt.
ed; and l earnestly conjure my counlrymen
to adhere to.it. Its preservation will save
this glorious Union--ilo violation will de.
stroy the noblest form OF government that
over existed. Gin now speaking. as it
we're from my political dea,h'bed. with all
the solemniy ond responsibility which sur
round the confessions Of dying man. The
country knows my attachment to theUniot.'
And sgain, Andrew Jackson Donaldson,
the adopted son Of the old Hero, and sue.
cessor of Mr.. Ri,chie, in the Washington
Union establishment. snys:
II shall cordially sustain the recent Com
promise measures"
While in the city, a few days since, Sen.
a,or King repeated his firm conviction that
the Constitutional rights Of the South were
placed on better foundation under the
Compromise than they had been for years
before; and also expressed his decided opin.
ion that there was nc possible chance TO
disturb 1t in Congress. In this opinion we
fully concur.-.Mobile Advertiser.
The London Journals groan, and the
Paris Journals chuckle,-,hat the visitors
to the Worlds Fair add nothing to London,
count nothing there, spend nothing,-bu!
60 over to Paris, frolc, spend, make merry,
dance and sing. The lodging houses OF
London are vacant. The theatres and 9th.
er places Of amusement: are leaner and
tanker than ever. No Eagles, no Cucats.
no Louis, no Sequins, no Thalers, no Fred
ericks, no Rupees, spent in London! All
the gold gees over to Paris, the vIsi-
ters in London live with the st.:c,est econ
omy-on bread and tea, beei steaks. and
mutton chops. in the porter houses, drink
ing only beer, and poor at that. The West
End is lined yet with placards Of lodgings
to let. Thus, London, calculating upon
such an immense influx of immigrants as
would overwhelm even her capacity for
entertainment. has been disappointed ,hro'-
out. Paris reaps whatever there is Of pro-
fits from the Worlds Eocomo tion.
JENNY LIND SwINpLEb.-The Phiadel.
phia Evening Bulletin states that an out
rageous swindle on the Swedish Nightin.
gale, was perpetrated on Wednesday last.
IL Is KNOWN tndt M lie Lluus Tor want Of
time 10 have new tickets prepared Tor hes
first independent concert, used set belong
ing.to MI. Barnum. BY three O'Clock 10 the |
ofiernoon, sixteen hundred tickets had been
disposed Of, a sufficient number 10 fill the |
hall completely. but net uncornforiably. ~
The sale was then stopped. II appearo. |
however. that the same set OF tickets had |
been at a !orr,er concert IN New York, and
a speculaior here had had large number
left on his hands. Ascertaf!ling ,ha, the
same kind Of tickets were to be used al
Philadelphia, a telegraphic message soon
brought the ole tickets 10 that city, where
they were sold at large prices-many Of
them bringing FIVE dollars. BY this means
il is believed that about two hundred per.
sons gained admission, and the hall was
thus crowded 10 excess. Of cocrse, Mile
Lind was thus swindled out of about six
hundred dollars, supposing the tickets sold
at the par price OF three dollars; while the
perpetrators Of the disgraceful fraud pock-
e,ed perhaps eight hundred or thousand
dollars.
