THE COMPROMISE RESOLUTIONS sUs.
TANNED.

Congress has re-enacted by resolution,
the compromise measures of last session as
finality. There was a great flutterlng
and staving off by the non committallsts.-
This may be considered as a successful
move in favor of Fillmore and Webster
against Gen. Scott, whose position on the
slavery question has not been-dehned.-
The General must now show his hand
The passage OF the resolution is also an en-
dorsement of the cause of Gen. Cass The
following is the resolution offered by MIR.
Jackson and amended by Mr.. Hillyer, Of
Georgia, and was adopted by vote of 100
yeas 10 65 nays.
Resolved, That the series of acts passed
during the first session Of the ihrly.firs
Congress, known as the Compromises, arc
regarded as final adjustment and a perma.
nent settlement of the questions therein en-
braced, and should be maintained and exc
cuted as such.

xNxu CONGRESs-rirst Session.

WASHINGTON, April. 6, 1852.
SENATE.-The Senate commenced at half
past ~ O'Clock.
Mr. Douglas presented the petition of
Henry O'Riely, of the Western Telegraph
lines, proposing to establish line of COM
munication, by mail and telegraph, from The
Mississippi river TO the Pacific ocean
Mr. Douglas said the petitioner asked no
money nor land, no donation nor gifts but
that his line of telegraph may be protected
by the military posts Of the Governments
As military posts have been authorized in
that Territory, he asks that, instead of being
placed in large bodies, they may be put IN
stations of twenty men, at a distance Of
twenty miles apart. Detachmeuts from
each of the posts could carry the mall
Thus the telegraph, the mail, and the emf
grants could be protected by the same line
of military posts, If this be done, Mr..
O'Relly thinks he can, in two years from
this time, have European news published Oh
the Pacific in two weeks from the time OF
its leaving Europe,

TIE WEATHER.

II there is any thing that people claim
the privilege of grumbling about, it is the
weather. And really they have had good
cause the past two months. Winter has
not only fingered in the lap of spring but,
on Monday last, when he should have qui-
etly retired from his throne, with his icy
and stormy sceptre, he reasserted his sway
with all the rlgors Of a snow storm and ac-
companimentS-such as would have graced
his best efforts in January. The sun has
scarcely been visible for the last five or six
days, and the result is, slush and mud un-
der foot, and clouds and vapor over head.
All! for the balmy breezes of May, and
moonlight nights of June.

WASHINGTON, April D.
This was an important day in Washington
and it, all probability the most important
one in the session. MIR. Jackson's resolution
was taken rp, and amended, and then pas
sed. MIR. jackson is liIe-cater, who voted
against the Compromise measure passed at
the last session, but who introduced his reso-
luton last week with a view Of making
peace. HIS resolution contained the extreme
that the Southern State Rights men were
willing TO subscribe to, while at the same
time, they eXacted from the North faithful
adherence to the Fugitive Slave Bill.
The Democrats sat out the session till
nearly o'clock, p. NJ and were resolved
to remain there till midnight, defeating all
movements TO adjourn, calling the roll &c.
Some Of the Wings from the North voted
| for one resolution and not for the other but
! the Fillmore, or true blue administration
! Wings, came nobly mp 10 their task, aud so
| did the constitutional Democrats, together
with goodly portion of the fire-eaters, and
some of the Fresoilers. The moderate and
protriolic men Of both parties have now a
platform TO stand upon and though some OF
the leading politicians nave to-day received
their quie,us forever, the country will by nc
means regret their loss. 1t is now morally
certain that General Scott cannot be nomiua
ted unless he endorses the Compromise plat
form prospcctirelH not retrosPectireIy BY let
ters written two years ago, and that NJ
Presidential candidate can be nominated o
elected who does not stand folly commtte,
to the resolutions passed to-day in the lous
of Representatives. OBSERVER.

eminently useful. One of the arms of the
shears is screwed into socket, fastened 10
a pole of any desired length. The shears
are kept open by spring, and closed by
means Of a lever, with a small roller or pull
ley on the end, pressing on the other arm
Of the shears. A cord is attached to the
lever running along the pole, by which
the shears are worked. 1t is handsome
piece of workmanship and operates admira-

the proceedings of meeting in Shamokin

the Susquehanna Rail Road. We fear our
friends have taken a one sided view of the
subject. Much as our public works have
cost, the people and the State have alrea-
dy more than realised the amount, from the
improvement of the country and the en-
hanced value of land and agricultural pro-
ducts. There are few farmers who do moi
save in the transportation OF fish, salt, plas'
ter, grain, &C., treble the amount of theiI
State tax. The Susquehanna Rail Roac
will Prov one OF the most profitable in the
country, Of this there is scarcely doubt

GE The Borough of Elmira, n. Y, is
authorized to subscribe 100000 to the
Williamsport and EImira Rail Road. The
completion OF this road is an important
matter to the citizens of the whole Susque-
hanna valley, and to the State generally.
When once completed, Philadelphia will
at once have a connection with the Lakes,
by means of the New York and Erie Rail
Road. By this route Elmira will be about
255 miles from Philadelphia and 2SS from
New York, and as the Pennsylvania route
will be not only 33 miles shorter, but much
more favorable in its grading, and there
fore more acceptable 10 travellers, many
who have a dread Of the New York and
Erie Road from Elmira 10 New York,
would much prefer travelling even TO that
city, through Philadelphia over the Penn
sylvania improvements.
