Compromise President
Gov. Marcy steadily opposed the Wilmot Pro
yiso, against which, when first presented no wing
member of Congress from the free States voted !;
and Gov. Marcy maintained, from the outset, the
Constitutiouality and expediency Of the fugitive
slave law, for which but three Wings in the House
from the free States voted. Gov. Marcy is and has
been sounder on the question of Slavery than Mr..
Fillmore, Gen. Scott, or any other Wing mention
ed in the last Wing National Convention for the
Presidency; at any rate, it will not be necessary,
if he should ever be brought forward BY his party
for the Presidency that his associate on the ticket
should come forward and argue to show that he
is sound, as Mr.. Graham did for his associate, Gen.
Scott. If Gov. Marcy is looked upon with distrust
and aversion by Mr.. Dickinson and his friends, 1t
is not has fault. He is just as true to the Const-
tutonaI rights of the South as Mr.. Dickinson.
These New York feuds involve moro of ambition
than of principle and the most that can be said
BY Southern Wing prints against Gov. Marcy is,
that after the passage Of the compromise meas
ures," he abored in good faith to restore harmony
to BIS party in that State. If he did not entirely
succeed in his efforts, it was because he was not
met in the spirit by which he was himself govern
ed in the matter.
Mr. Campbell it is we'll known, was opposed to
the Wilmot Proviso and in favor of the fugitive
slave law He is a Democrat of the Buchanan
and Forney stamp, and consequently above sus-
picion.
Gov. McClelland was elected Governor CT Mich
igan on the " compromise platform. lie is known
to be sound upon the fugitive-slave law, the only
one of the measures which remains to be executed.
We have never heard that he wrote such thing
as an erie" letter in favor of the abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia and Of the
slavetrade between the States that he wrote
to the people of Boston, or any other City, that
Slavery is an evil' to be endured rather than
defended and maintained.
Mr.. Dobbin is neither Secessionist nor a Sub
missionist. He was opposed to Abolition aggres-
sions and raised his voice against them and he
contributed, by demanding the Constitutional
rights of the South, to the aid of such men as
Pierce, Buchanan, and Douglas in their efforts to
PROSTATE Aboitonism in the free States, at time
when the Register and many Southern Wing lead
ers were encouraging the Abolitionists by an I'M
manly spirit of submission to these aggressions.
A Sec6ssionist" was one who deemed the g. COM
promise measures too intolerable to be borne, and
who was in favor of seeding from or dssolving
the Union account of them; and the Register
we'll knows Mr.. Dobbin held no such opinion and
advised no such course. lie maintained, what he
still maintains that the Union is confederation
and not consolidation and that the States have
rights and sovereignty, which can neither be VIC
lated nor disregarded with safety to our government
"a bargain broken on one side, " said Daniel
Webster, "is bargain broken on both sides.
Does the Register dispute that Mr.. Dobbin is a
better Union man, and has been uniformly, than
the Editor of the Register or those for whom that
paper speaks. The allegation of that paper that
he is Secessionist, " or Disunionist, will be
credited nowhere. 1t is not only false, but ridicu
lousy false. No man, Tout of Bedlam, will. be-
feve it.
Col. Davis opposed-not the compromise -
but those measures in it which were unjust to the
saveholding States !; and in doing this he reflect
ed faithfully the wishes of the State of Mississippi
II Gen. Pierce, a citizen Of a free State thinks
proper to confde in him, and to act with him, we
can see no good reason why the Register, sLaUe-
holding print, should complain.
Caleb Gushing is of the few Democrats in
Massachusetts, who steadily resisted FreesoI infiu-
ences. He did this both on, the stump among the
people, and in the Legislature of that State. He
was bold and able defender of the fugitiye-slaye
law before the Baltimore Convention met-he vo-
ted in that body to approve and sustain that law.
and he is as true upon that issue as FRANK P1rRor
himself
So the charges of the Register against the Pro-
'ldent and his Cabinet fall to the ground
We expected such charges and we are not.
therefore, surprised at them. They are, in every
respect worthy Of the paper which gave circula-
