Finally Of the Compromise.

The ~ Y. Erening Post thus cody refers to
the manner and form in which our brethren Of
the North intend acquiescing in the fnality of the
Compromise:
The Washington Union announces that il has
received communication from Virginia, asking
for information concerning a statement which
has appeared in the public prints, to the effect
that the grand jury of Lancaster, Pennsylvania
has refused to find indictments against the per-
sons concerned in the Christians riot and the
murder of Gorsuch. :" He adds" saws the
Union g that he knows many citizens of Virgin.
ia who are well aware that their fugitive slaves
are now in Pennsylvania and would gladly re-
claim them, but are deferred from SO doing by
the dangers which they spPrehend in the under
taking"
There is no denying the fact that the grand
Jury of Lancaster have refused TO fnd bills OF
indictment against the persons concerned in the
disturbance, and the true conclusion TO be drawn
from il is that the fugitive slave law is SO oiiuos
in Pennsylvania that it cannot be executed. The
Union itself virtually admits this, for il goes on
TO say:
4 at is certain that the law Of the United
States has been set at defiance and defeated b,
armed force, causing the violent death Of = law
abiding citizen, and that the perpetrators Of tn,
outrage yet 60 unwhipped Of public justice
The people of those States who are intereste,
in the faithful execution Of the fugitive law ex
pect, and have right TO expect, something bel
ter than this-and especially from the nobl
SU ofPennsylvania."
) Betwixt the Union and It's correspondent,
very bad case is made out for the law. II i
not only not executed, but the attempt TO exc
cute it is resisted by violence and bioodshed
: those who resist il escape punishment, and III
!, owners Of fugitive slaves in Virginia are 8
alarmed at the danger Of attempting TO TAX
advantage Of the law, that they do not ventur
upon the experiment.
We have no apology TO make for those VIII
resist the law by force, but we must say TO thos
, who now make this complaint, that il was a cor
sequence Of which they were fully warned b.
. fore the law was passed. II is literal fulf
Z ment Of the predictions Of those who oppose
J. the law. We fully agree with the UHion, tha
, these are most lamentable results--the law u
at naught, peaceful community disturbed by
conflict Of armed men, and human life taker
d These are the signs Of acquiescence in the con
e promise, of which so much has been said. Their
Is no acquiescence anywhere in the provision
Of the fugitive slave law. The only acquiescenc
y Of which we see any proof, is that OF which IN
Virginia correspondent Of the Union speaks
the acquiescence of the planters in the neplec
. TO execute the law.
