Finality of the Finality.

Seldom has vote occurred in Congress, and
never q maiority-vots that so completely con-
founded its elements as the votesof acqmescence
in the Compromise last Monday. a. ~
In the first place the Southern Wings have
been almost completely severed from majority.
of their party, the Northern Wings. And, as
this question has been made by them distinctly
n nartv question, and even an Administration
one we consider the sectional division OF 1 tnat
party as fixed ,fnality. The Southern Wings
will be compelled to organize as separate party,
or to unite with Others in the South as distinct
party. We really think the treatment OF the
Southern Wings by. the Northern as very cruel
But we told them SO long ago, and they would
not believe. 49,. s.. ,.rr ...,.~. 'i
"Here ye wise saints behold your lord, your star
Ye would be dupes and victims and ye are.'
But we behold Immediately on the heels OF
this disastrous desertion, the same wavenng OF
the border States that occurred on the Compro-
mise. Mr.. Ward, of Kentucky, delivered yes
terdav in the House speech in favor OF Gen.
Scott. and we understand Wing Of Tennessee
Is prepared to do the same thing. SOM Stan
lev is out Yesterday morning in the Republic
with. a letter in defence and support Of General
Scott. This comes very promptly after the de-
sertion of the Compromise, aud shows an alac-
rty in sinking or diving that illustrates the ex-
traordinary discipline of submission tactics. MIR.
Clingman, of the House, and MIR. Morton OF the
Senate, have displayed more political sagac'ty
than any two Wings in Congress. They beheld
from, afar the result Of Northern Wing policy
and declined keeping it company. MeSsrs'
Toombs, Dawson, and Stephens, we suppose
saw at the commencement of the present Con-
gress the catastrophe which has now occurred,
though it is possible that they did not expect 1t
to be SO 1agrant. They have been standing
aloof Messrs. Marshall of Kentucky, Gentry
Of Tennessee, Cabell of Florida, and Others have
evidently been apprehensive of the denoucment
Z" - The fate of the Democratic party does not
appear to be much better. The editor of the
Union undertook to organize it on the basis OF
acquiescence in the Compromise. He has as
serted about forty times this session, that the
Democratic party was, with few trifing excep-
ttions, united on the subject. Well, the vote is
at length taken, and the result is that it is divi-
ded into three prongs-6s for the fnality; 20
Northern Democrats opposed to it, because too
favorable to the South II Southern Democrats
because too favorable to the North, and 80 Dem
ocrats taken with bad colds, coughs, asthmas,
rheumatisms, and neuralgies. Not one half Of
the Democratic members voting in favor of this
grand hobby of the organ-that aspires to be.
:, The defeat of the Administration is most sig
i.al. Notwithstanding the extraordinary perform
,ances of the cabinet caravan last season in New
York, there were but eleven Northern Wings out
of 81, that appeared in its support-and Of this
only FIVE from the mighty State Of New York,
and none! from Ohio! -.
The predecessor of the present editor of the
Union frequently told US that the rights of the
South depended on the Democracy Of the North.
Now here is a vote of 36 Northern Democrats
only in favor Of the Compromise, and 20 against
it. .sl..s.. - s..s.a.
All this looks very much like the end Of old
parties and old organs. We would not be sur
prised il the Union and Republic were now to
push their coalition forces to obtain the public
printing, in order to save themselves in the gen.
eral wreck. ..s ..-,z.
It is now demonstrated, as well as anything
can be shown by evidence, that neither party is
united on the Compromise, and it is even doubt
full from the vote that has been taken. and from
the missing, whether a coalition of the compro-
misers of both parties could succeed. As par
ty movement on each side the failure is total, as
coalition its failure is rather probable, besides
involving renewed and aggravated agitation
