is not an immaterial circumstance IN Massacnu-
sets politics TO know, that Mr.. DAVIS. though
he defends Mr. WEBSTER, will not apestatize
from his early faith, or disayow his antecedents.
With what success he will reconcile his ayowed
opposition TO the Fugitive Slave Law with his
snpDort Of Mr. WEBSTER, remains to be seen
If there is any spectacle in politics that IS re-
freshng, 1t is TO behold steady and intrepid
adherence to sound doctrine, through all the
struggles, all the mutations, ucissltudes ami
availabilites ofparty. Mr. DAVIS wo1ld dlshonor
himself and would dishon0r Massachusetts,
should he suffer considerations Of temporary ad-
vantage. personal or political, to abate the fer
vor of his faith. or sTerye him rom the straight
and narrow path OF manly duty. Detection IS
melancholy spectacle at all times under what
ever temptation, but detection under clrcum-
stances that viii insure the certain condemna-
ton and humiliation olchenshed hopes OF pollt-
ical advancement-w which all men entering upon
political life may be supposed to cntertaln-ls
tie ry'madness OF criminality We ore glad
to have grounds to believe, both tor his own
sake and the sake of truth and honor IN the
world that Mr. DAVIS is not Indifferent 10 his
position, and that ne will yindcate his own

A debate sprung oP in tho Hoooo yesterday
upon the question Of the Printing, which dis
played very great absence Of harmony m the
ranks of the Southern Loco-Focos. The Seces-
sionisis are far from being composed or The sub
iect of the Compromise. The smothered vol
cano every now and again cocts its sheets OF
flame. These, however, are bu, shirni,hos that
are the precursors of a formidable battle when
the time shall come There is great danger
that these intcmccne striigs may end in the
decentralization and final overthrow Of the great
party among whom they rage The fire burns
within, and not an the efforts 20 keep the en-
beIs smohercd can prevent an occasional ont
break. We may look ior great contest at the
Baltimore Convention, and we may look too, we
fear, for a great submission. NENA8LI anu
