HOWELL CoBBs aspirations to the United States Sem
ate Gov. c. was an ardent supporter of the Com
promise, which Tie Examiner yehemently opposed;
and it low calls the former "a Crushed Cobb and

"Ihs worthy rendered himself conspicuous years
ago by his forWardness and efficiency in sacrificing the
honor and the rights Of the South by deserving her inter
ess and going to her enemies in the trying hour
when the dsgracefu provisions of the Compromise were
fastened upon the necks of people. The reward Of
this treason duly paid him in his election TO the Gov

Mr. Cobb is altogether a contrast TO Mr.. MDOnah. Mr.

The above is but fair specimen of the rancOr

Compromises but to the power they have gained
to the determination of the followers of Cass and
Dickinson. And this brings to consideration of the
fate Of Union-Savers generally.
