various documents in relation to the existing diff
Guilty.
He recommends, in order to quel the strife,
that if it shall be the seLse OF Congress that the
seat of government Of Oregon is not already es-
tablished in conformity with the laws of the
United States, Congress should proceed to estab-
ish 1t, either permanently temporarily, and that
they also express their approval or disapproval of
the laws which may have been enacted by that
territory.
The message was referred to the Committee on
Territories, and ordered to be printed.
The Chair also laid before the Senate a commu-
nication from the State Department, transmitting,
In compliance with law, statements showing the
number of passengers who arrived in the United
States from the Both of September, 1850, to the
LIST Of January, 1852.
Also, communication from the Secretary OF
War, transmitting, IN compliance with resolu-
ton of the Senate, report made by Lieut.. vii.

We are in favor Of an increased allowance to
lhcse steamers, rather thar permit the line to
90 down Although We dread the precedent Of
extra allowances on contracts given to the
lowest bidders These vessels have however,
tonnage Of fifty per cent greater than the
COZ tract requires, and a. this increase Of size
seems to lie vindcated by increase Of speed, We
think that pro rdta Increase Of compensation
would be fair and liberal.
We object, however, to the amendment pro
posed by the Finance Committee Of the Senate
ii is to increase the compensation to $4,000
per Trip What is meant by trip! BY the
contract they are TO make twenty round trips, Of
voyages to Liverpool and bach in year, for
S385.0OO. Is il intended to give them S33 OOC
for single trip across the ocean-or 10 Civ,
then that much for ms many round trips as they
may please 10 make They can make forty
eight round trips year. At $4,000 for such
trip, this amendment would give them over mil

travagant 1t would be almost as much as
would keep in service the same number of
government steamers And the argument in
favor of commercial navy is its economy
AS for The efficiency ofsuch vessels in case OF
y'ar, we have no doubt the opinion of sundry
Navy old Fogies, to the contrary notwthstand

officers would have pronounced originally
against the use Of sails instead of oars, and
against the use Of the Compass, and even
against the use of gunpowder. A seventy, four

a log raft could carry heavier battery than
seventy-four. But if neither could overtake a

Save himself who can.

Mr.. BRooKs, Wing Compromise member
from the city Of New York, inflicted a terrible
blow in the House, day before yesterday, or
the Southern Wing fugitives from the Fugitive
slave law. Mr. Books, and few other Wings
from the North, had isolated themselves from
their own party, in their own section, by their
fidelity to the Compromise and TO the Southern
Wings, and therefore Lad every claim Of politi.
cal honor and good faith on the latter to remain
firm.
But as the canvass advanced, the star Of SCoTT
rose too rapidly in the ascendant. Federal
Office, honor, aud emolument, began TO dance
before the vision of Southern ambition. And
a portion Of the Southern Wing wing began to
wayer, aad the cry was raised, "Save himself
who can"
The failure Of the Comprom SC in the Wing
party was natural cnough-it was inevitable
There was nothing left Of il but the Fugitive.
slave law, and about nothing left of that but
the parchment on which it was engrossed. II
was a nullity a. an abstraction. II was too
worthless and i!usofy even for n topic of de-.
clamation by dcmogogues from the rcmotcst
stump iu the South. Who could expect, there.
fore, that your Southern national statesmen
would continue any longer to dwell on such =
miscbieyous topic Of sectional agitation-so
mischievous that il barred the wayro federal
offices and honors!
The Northern Wings, when they pushed the
Southern Off on TO such a remnant Of platform
for home support, ought 10 have known the con.
scquence-ought 10 have known they could not
stand. Perhaps even oflite.seeking and party
politicians, will begin to suspect after awhile
that in order to have strength abroad, they mus
have some tcnable position at home. viii d.
bIunder be repeated! VIII any party in G.

future as to weaken themselves 50 much n,

party, can't give it any votes, aud are therefore
