THE MARINE CONVENTION.

BY Chicago papers of Friday and Saturday, we
have the closing proceedings ofthe Marine Con-
vention at Chicago. On Thursday morning, the
committee on short weights and measures made
a report, which, after considerable discussion,
was referred back to the committee, with instruc-
tons to report again at the evening session.
After some remarks by Messrs. r. s. Blackwell
and L. Richmond upon the subject of the novi-
cation laws, the convention adjourned to 81 o.
clock p. M.
At the evening session. it was resolved that
the Boards of Trade of Milwaukee, Chicago,
Detroit and Buffalo, be requested TO appoint a
practical man from each of these places well ac-
quainted with Lake navigation, to examine thor
oughly the present condition OF the st. Clair
Flats, and report on the respective channels,
depth of water, and other facts, to the commit
tee having the memorial in charge. The CON-
mittee of investigation will meet at Detroit on
the 23d inst.
The committee appointed TO prepare petition
to Congress upon the modification and extension
of the marine law to seamen, then reported, rec
ommending the drafting and presentation of a
memorial to Congress, praying for The extension
to the lakes and inland navigation of an act of
Congress in relation to "the government and
regulation of seamen in the merchant Service
and also san act to limit the liability OF ship own
ers." The report was adopted. A resolution
was then passed, that committee be appointed
to proceed to Washington with the memorial,
and urge its passage .,r-.t r....
The committee on short weights and meas
ures, to whom had been referred back the report
made by them at the morning session, reported
that, after mature consideration, they were una
BILE to agree upon any plan, and asked to be dis
charged Their request was granted.
A resolution was then adopted, recommend
ing Insurance Companies doing business on the
lakes, to establish the 3Oth day Of November as
the close of the navigation season as regards in
surance, permitting vessels to sail all the lakes
to that date, and to adjust premiums according
ly.
After some discussion upon the subject Of a
ship cana! around Niagara Falls, on the Ameri-
can side, the convention adjourned to meet at
Detroit on the l4h day of February, 1855.

COMPROMISES.

We hear much, of late, about the sanctity Of
Compromises. Maintain inviolate the Missouri
Compromise, is again and again urged 1t is alb
very well, gentlemen, but who are now the loud
est in raising this cry! Is it not the abolition
st who has been petitioning Congress, and do
ing his utmost to procure the repeal of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, Il compromise measure, and who
would vote for no man unless pledged to repeal?
Now sudden conversion has come upon you,
and you look with holy horror upon such " ne
farous scheme" " Circumstances alter cases."
with vengeance. The Fugitive Slave Law
all the South got in reality, in l85O-must be
repealed; but this Compromise must not
Were you doing wrong in demanding a repeal of
the Fugitive Slave Law! We think not. There
is no more special sanctity about a compro-
mise, so called, than about any other law. They
more likely than others, are liable TO be wrong,
being brought about, generally, by outside press
ure, TO answer temporary purpose.
The Missouri Compromise was violated BY
the very Congress that enacted it, All the
world know that as part of the bargain, Mis-
souri, was to be admitted as Slave State; but
Congress, in 1920, refused to admit it. Missou-
ri was not admitted until 1921. The Missouri
Compromise is openly violated to-day, unrebuk-
ed The Fugitive Slave Law is violated daily.
Who is there in Pontiac, but would turn out at
moments warning and help Charles Crockett,
for instance, to Canada, if his capture, as fugi-
tive slave, was threatened! Our abolition friend
would talk bravely if he did but little to effect
this object. But, gentlemen maintain plighted
faith Would you violate compromise? Bah
it is all talk this hue and cry about the sacred
ness of compromises. Yesterday it was right
to do illegally what to-day it is sought to do le-
gally, and that too, when the measure proposed
does no practical injury to freedom, and affirms
the principle of mans capacity for self-govern-
ment. Pontiac Jacksonan.

Mr.. STUART's PRovIso.-It will be remem-
bered that just previous to putting the Nebras-
ka Bill npon its passage in the Senate, the fol-
lowing Proriso was introduced by Mr.. Badger,
OF North Carolina, and adopted:
"Prouided, That nothing contained in this act
shall be construed to revive orput in force any law
or regulation which may have existed prior to the
act of the 9th of March 1890 either protecting es-
tabishing, prohibiting or abolishng slavery"
This proviso was drawn up by our Senators,
Mr.. Stuart, and at his solicitation, was offered
by Mr. Badger; it being tho't best TO have the
motion come from a southern Senator Before
this proviso was adopted, it was thought, by
some, that in repeating the Missouri Compro-
mise, the act would revive the old French laws
establishing slavery in the territory covered BY
the Louisiana purchase. MIR. Stuart had declar-
ed during the debate on the Bill, TINT so long as
this objection TO itexisted lie could not vote for
it. To obviate all doubt on the question, Mr..
Stuart drew up the proviso, which was incorpo-
rated into the Bill as above described. Ahho'
Mr.. s. has exhibited no pride of feeling in regard.

A SCENE IN THE SENATE GALLERY.-Some
idea may be formed of the effect of the elo-
quence of Senator Douglas upon the minds of
his auditors, by the following incident, related in
a Washington paper:
ga friend who was present in the Senate on
Saturday morning between three and FIVE o'clock
"a time when nearly all the good as we'll as
the bad people of Washington were asleep-re-
lates that the 'sovereigns' in the gallery were
more than ordinarily lavish with their applause,
while Judge Douglas was delivering his speech
in reply TO the opponents Of the Nebraska bill.
The Senate police did much towards suppress
ing the spontaneous expression of delight, but
were not altogether successful. 1t seemed as if
a vent was actually necessary to prevent col
lapse Of more than one boiler. Anon, the SER
geant-at-arms proceeded to the gallery to pre-
serve order. Approaching young gentleman
whose enthusiasm was not circumscribed by the
strong fence Of discretion, he requested him to
remain quet and was met by the response
"How can ] help cheering?" "You must
"Well," responded the uproarious individual i'm
plorngly, 'just let me yell once more-only
once; ii does me so much good But the re-
quest was not reasonable and therefore it was
denied"

The beard movement in England is one of
the most rapid on record, even in these fast
times. Whole towns and classes 90 it at once.
The Daily NeWs strongly recommends the cler-

the manly and majestic beard as worn by the
glorious reformers of the sixteenth century. 1t
says nothing would be II surer preventive of

advice. Some of his people were so highly Of

4 FARE ON THE RIVER I'VE hear much CON-
plant respecting the increased prices for freight
and passage on the river this season. The fare
from this place to Grand Rapids is now Sl,25,
inste2d of $l,O0 as heretofore, and the advance
on way passage Is. we believe, still greater in
proportion. Freight we are told is 80 per cent
higher than last year. We regret the existence
of such restriction upon trade and travel by
way of our river and believe that it will result
in no permanent advantage to the proprietors of
our boats. With continuance Of old prices,
which were deemed sufficiently high, people
would have been content but now feeling of
Indignation, whether well grounded or not, is
quite apparent, and will of course seek the first
opportunity for indulgence. We should dislike
to see ruinous competition spring up on the
river, and therefore we are opposed to these in
creased rates. They certainly favor the estab-
lishment of an opposition, and will secure for
such an institution, should it be attempted, the
hearty good will of the crowd.
New BURYING GRoUND.-At the close of the
polls on Monday next, the subject of selecting
new site for a burying ground will be brought
up for consideration. The proprety of this
measure has for long time been felt and ack-
nowledged by our citizens. The present bury
ing ground is too contiguous to town, and is
otherwise less suitable for the purpose to which
it is devoted than are many other locations
that might be designated. We think the ma
jority are in favor of taking early steps to have
change made, as the necessity therefor is year.
ly becoming more apparent, and the difficulty of
the undertaking will increase with delay. 1t is
to be hoped that all who feel an interest in the
matter will be in attendance at the time pro-
posed.
