Mr.. Hale, in the United States Senate, yesterday,
very boldly defined the position Of the free soil de-
nocrats on the Compromise question. He says
that il the democrats at Baltimore make the Fugi-
1--we Slave law stick Of timber in their platform,
they may look out for the revival of the Buffalo
party, and Buffalo ticket for 1852, which will leave
the democratic candidates as high and dry as in
1S4S, and by the operation. The democracy
have had similar warnings from the Southern rights
section Of tho party; they cannot consent to the
Justice of the Compromise, which includes the
admission Of California, and they say that any at
tempt to choke them into it, will, just sure ms
fate, produce a split in the family Major Donelson
has been compelled 10 quit the Washington Union
because of the impossibilty of harmonzing the
party upon the compromises. II the Baltimore De-
mocratic Convention, therefore, agree upon any
policy, it viii be the policy of dead silence on the
compromises. They will be as dumb as General
Scott; but there is very fair prospect that, in
spite Of the hopes of plumber, there will be grand
Torment and a tremendous blow up of the harmo-
nious democracy from the bitter rivalres Of Their
fifteen or twenty candidates, and their deadly
squabble between Young America and the old
fogies.
But little was done by the Senate In the way of

way for the Wabash and Missouri Railroad, was
ordered to be engrossed. resolution was present
ed, asking for information concerning the withdraw
n Of the Austrian Charge, and the proceeding,
wound up with undressing debate on the
deficiency bill. The members of the Senate appear
to take things very eoolly just at present how
ever, the action Of the coming National Conven.
lions, combined with summer weather. will soon
arouse them from their lethargy, and raise their
steam to an explosive point. After that, look out
FOR hustle and excitement.
The House Of Representatives having voted them

sitting New York, probably in part to see how the
land lies with regard to the Presidency in these lat

suit with George Sanders and his Irish assistant ed
Cor, with respect to the expediency Of making the

cratic Tabernacle TO be set w at Baltimore for We
learn, incidentally, that Judge Douglas, having Ia
ken hold Of the bill in the Senate, intends TO make
the old foges toe the mark, by pushing the measure
through, at al hazards. The game is becoming in

yelopoments.
Kossuth addressed betwe en- two and three thou
sand Boston Hungarian bond holders, in Faneuil
Hall, last evening. In the course of his remarks,
he stated that there were twenty millions Of
bonds bearing his signature, and that. when he
came back from Europe, they would be good. No
doubt OF it but he did no. acknowledge that he had
the r.motest idea Of coming back If he had, the
shrcwd Yankees would have scarcely credited the
assertion.
Much apathy appears to have prevailed in the
Common Council Of Albany concerning the visit of
Koruth to that city. Although the attention Of
that body was directed to his coming on "Wednesday
evening, movement was made in the matter
until last evening, when special meeting was held,
