TO endorse the Compromise Measures,
but failed by an overwhelming vote. la
reference to the cavalier treatment OF
Senator Chase by the tnion, we have
only to say that Democracy in the lati-
tude of Washington seems fast becom-
ing different thing from that taught by
Thomas Jefferson. According to the
o5jter dictum Of a. J. Donelson; no man
can be a simon pure Democrat who does
not include in his faith an approval Of
slavery! Instead OF denying to Mr..
Chase the fellowship of Democrats, we
would be greatly obliged to the Union
man if he would point out wherein our
Senator, by either word, vote, or action,
has ever swerved from a strict Demo
cratic course. 1t cannot be done. True,
he opposed the Compromise measure, SO
called, and for which the Democracy Of
Ohio will ever honor him. 4 more es-
sentlally " hig measure never received
the sanction Of Congress, albeit many
protested Democrats gave it their sup
port. Clay aud Webster were the au-
thors Of the famous measure, and who
ever heard of their originating any
thing that did not smack of W higgcry."

REWARD FOR THE CoSDEN MURpERERs.-
We learn from the Kent ,N,ews that the
reward Offered for the apprehension Of

sons in Cecil entitled to a share of this

the day, and make their claims in person.

Mr.. PEAEcE's SpEEcH.-Hon. J. A.
Pcarce came down on Messrs. Gwin and
Hunter in sort of "meat axe STYLE" in
the Senate last week. HIS speech was
in vindication Of the Administration,
from the charges Of extravaganza made
by these gentlemen. The Woshiagton
Telegraph in speaking Of it says:
Nv e a re at loss as to what terms to
employ to characterize the speech OF
this Senator. His aim and purpose were
!. simply, but adequately, TO defend an adj
,, ministraion which he considered I'M
justly ass2ilcd; and this he did most gal
lantIv, thoroughly, and triumphantly
