THE COMPROMISE A FINALITY.

During the debate in the Senate on the Stl
Compromise final settlement of the Slavery
question, Mr. Foote announced his intention o.
returning to the Senate. Mr.. Butler regarded
| the resolution as unwise and unnecessary Mr.
Foote defended his resolution, and stated that
the South had gained by the passage of the
Territorial bills for Utah and New Mexico,
withom the Wilmot Proriso, that slave States
are allowed to spring up hereafter in the terri
tory purchased from Texas, where before this
plan of settlement it was impossible for any
but free States TO exist and in regard to the
Fugitive Slave Law, he said:
at is also not forgotten by me- and hope
that it is not forgotten by the Senate either,
that this particular act would have been passed
by the two Houses Of Congress at a much ear
lier period of the session before the last than it
was, but for the fact that it was not deemed
polite by certain Southern Senators, who had
special charge Of the subject TO report a bill
for the reception and restoration of fugitves
from service until it should be ascertained that
all the other questions connected with the sub
jcct Of domestic slavery were likely 10 be salts
factorily disposed of in Congress. The Senate
will remember my former exposition of this
matter here and cannot have forgotten my
statement of an important matter of fact con-
nected with this delicate point, when declared
in herring OF honorable Senators from the
South, who could not deny the truth of what |
said that the honorable Senator from Michigan,
| IMr. Cas-, and other Senators from the States
of the North, now present and whom could
easily name, requested me to see the Senator
from Virginia. Mr.. Mason, and the Senator
from South Carolina, TO whom am now reply
ing. at very early day Of the session then in
progress, and to urge upon them both the i'm
portance of their reporting bill without delay,
which. when it should become law, would Sc
cure full Justice TO the South in regard to fugi-
tiyes from service pledging themselves TO vote
for any bill which should be thus reported
which should be free from constitutional objcc-
tons
He also stated that Mr.. WHIrcoMB Of Indi-
ana and Gen. CAss urged him to have the bill
reported at an early day. We beg our readers
to note this statement Gen. CAss. it will be
seen, urged that the Fugitive Slave Bill should be
reported at an early day, pledgng himself ito
vote for any bill which should be thus report
edp Mr.. WHIrcoMB, who was elected as
Proyiso man, also urged that the bill should be
introduced. The names Of the other Sena-
tors from the States of the North" who united
in this recommendation are not given, and we
regret that MIR. Foote failed to disclose them.
IL may be that other Presidential aspirants
were engaged in this business, and it would be
gratifying TO the North TO know all the indlvld-
uals engaged in infieting upon them that Boz
nefcent measure, the Fugitive Slave Law.

WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JANUARY l. 1859

Now, said the physician, we must turn
all these creatures out all depends on his
being kept quiet"
st. Clare opened his eyes and looked fxedly
on the distressed beings whom Miss Ophelia
and the Doctor were trying to urge from the
apartment. "POOr creatures" he said, and
an expression of bitter selfreproach passed
over his face. AdOph absolutely refused TO
go Terror had deprived him of all presence
of mind he threw himself along on the floor,
and nothing could persuade him to rise The
rest yielded to Miss Ophelias urgent repre-
sentations that their masters safety depended
on their stiffness and obedience
st. Clare could say but little he Law with
his eyes shut, but it was evident that he wres-
tied with bitter thoughts After while he
laid his hand on Toms who was kneeling be-
side him, and said, "Tom poor fellow /"
What massr ?" said Tom. earnestly.
" am DYING said St Clare, pressing his
hand; "pray!H

the physician
St. Clare hastily shook his head and said
again to Tom, more earnestly "pray y

strength, for the soul that was passi1g-the

fully from those those large, melancholy blue
eyes. 1t was literally prayer offered with
strong crying and tears.
When Tom ceased to speak ST. Clare reach
cd out and took his hand, looking earnestly at
him, but saying nothing. He closed his eyes,
but still retained his hOld-ior in the. gates OF
eternity the black hand and the white hold
each other with an equal clasp. He murmur-
ed softly to himself at broken intervals
RecOrdare Jesu pie
Nc me perdas-e die
Querens mo-sedisti lassas
It was EVIDENT that the words he had been

His mind is wandering" said the Doctor
mo! 1t is coming HOME at last ~ said st
Clare energetically; at last at last !"
The effort of speaking exhausted him. The
sinking paleness of death fell on him-but with
it there fell, as if shed from the wings of some
plying spirit, beautiful expression of peace
like that of a wearied child who sleeps.
40 he lay for few moments They saw tha'
the mighty hand was ON him. Just before the
spirit parted, he opened his eyes with sudden
light as of joy and recognition, and said,
Motheri' and then he was gone!
