Finality OF the Cosnprs mise.

Tho House Of Representatives. by a
large majority Adopted on Monday last.
the resolutions that we give below, affirm
ing their purpose faithfully and finally to
stand by tire compromise measures Of the
last session. and to discountenance all at.
tcmpts 10 revive, for public agitation. the
questions embraced in them. Thecourse Of
certain Virginia delegates. whose name.
appear with the Nays. will strike the peo-
pie Of this State with amazement. Among
them. we have seen with profound sur.
prise the name of the member represent.

Powell and Averett. from adjoining dis

ers, is the bittcrest commentary that could
be made upon the position they have taken.
We forbear for the present further remark
ofeur sn. TO make room for paragraph
from the Republic in reply to the Wash
ing'on Union:
."Why does our contemporary continue
to nmuse himself with dreaming dreams
and seeing vislonsl Why live in ideal-
ties. ignoring the practical things OF the
wo-ldf Why not confess, frankly and
honestly. that the DEMOCRATS in the House
and the Democratic party are divided in
regard to the Compromise; that the lead

GRowl A pretty set of gentlemen are
these to form the "only party 10 be trust
ed in carrying out the Compromise! We
admit that large portion Of the Demo.
Gratis have sustained the administration in
these measures of Adjustment, with COM
mendable disregard Of party obligations.
They have spurned the trammels of the
DEMOCRATIC caucus. and have planted
themselves on the doctrine Of the PREsI
DENTS messages. We wonld not withhold
from them any Of the credit 10 which they
are entitled for their patriotic and in
dependent action. Itrequired nerve and
courage 10 deviaie from the path marked
out by power that has hitherto been con-
elusive and exclusive in the DEMocEAT1c
party. But. for all this, we cannot reason
from the fact that this merilorious portion
of the Democracy sustain the Adnlnistra-
ton, that the whole Democracy ought to
unite to overthrow the Administration for
the sake Of giving better support to the
Compromise! Support the Compromise
by uniting with the gentlemen we have a
hove enumerated to subvert the present
Administration! Can person be serious
-one might almost ask can person be
sane-who proposes such scheme for
accomplishing such an objectl"
The question was then taken on the first
branch Of the resolution, in the following
words:
Resolved, That we recognize the bind
ing efficacy ofthe compromises of the con

OF the people generally. as we hereby de-
clare it to be ours individually. to abide
such compromises, and TO sustain the laws

farther agitation ofquestions growing out

cd in tho acts Of the last Congress. known
as tho compromise, and of questions gen
orally connected with the institution Of
slavery. as unnecessary, useless, and dam
