The gentleman in the course of his remarks
took strong ground against declaring the Compro-
mise fnality, and bringing it into politics as a
test. If so, disaster would attend the Democracy
in Ohio and elsewhere. The people ofthe North
would respect their constitutional duty firmly,
substantially; but if proposition should be made
to amend the Fugitive Slave law, they will desire
to give the details the sanction of Justice Though
the heavens fall, he should go right strag ht along
with this object in view. If proposition should
be made to repeal it, he would vote against it. and
this he believed to be the disposition and senti-

people of the free States.

EARTHQUAKE AT APALACHIcoLA.-Thc Com
mercal Advertiser of the 18th gives the following
account of an earthquake that place on the 9th
inst :
On Monday morning last, about the hour of
O'Clock, our city visited by one of those for
midable phenomena of nature. The agitation of
the earth was very apparent to the senses, aud
was accompanied by several physical effects, such
as the cracking of chimney wall, the creaking
of beams of houses, the motion of the water in
the bay, the agitation of liquid, and the move
ment of articles of furniture in still foom which
could have arisen from no other cause The
shock was of several seconds duration. A SINH
lar shock was felt on the Friday previous, about
the hour of 10 P. NJ, and several others have
been observed at this place within the last year or
two; hut they have all, fortunately, been so in
significant, compared with some which have been
experienced in other countries that we have
scarcely thought them worth mentioning. The
violence of that of Monday was far the greatest
we have ever felt. 1t may have been of local or
of very limited extent, but we expect to receive
from the West Indies, Mexico, or Sout h America
some accounts of its grand and permanent but
awful effects on the surface of the EARTH
