lln, they may or ought torepeal the fugitive
Slave bill, and thus will be revived that dam
gerous agitation which all good men hoped
was happily at an end. know the COM
mon answer 10 this view of the subject, but
it is false one, and, lift should impose up
on my people, it will not upon the North.
We are told that Northern men violated
the compromise Of 1920, and we are no
longer bound by it. This is misconcep-
ton. The Missouri compromise applied
TO the territory Of Louisiana, and 10 Mat
d'ore. There was noprovision that il should
be extended to any other territory. The
contract was complete, and bound neither
party in relation 10 territory thereafter TO be
acquired. So far as the compromise was
concerned we might, without any violation
Of its provisions, have carried slavery into
new territory as high as The 49th parallel
of latitude, if we had the power, or they
might have excluded il as low as the equa-
Tor, five would submit. In 1850 we pro.
posed q new compromise-that is, to run the
line 10 the Pacific. This was merely an OK
tension Of the old contract, TO which they
could agree or disagree without any breach
of faith. They rejected it, but this refusal
10 enter into new arrangement cannot JUS
tily us in violating the first. mention this,
however, merely 10 show the view which
will be token OF the subject North, and do not
care to elaborate it.
/ have said That if the legislation of 1850
did in point Of fact supercede the Legislation
Of 1920, then the insertion of such provis-
ion in the bill was not only unnecessary but
mischievous. If it is not true, then the bill
ought moi 10 pass, because it bears false
hood upon its face.
The value of any compromise depends up
on lis faG52y. Ii when one party has The
power it may repeal the part which is dis
tasteful TO them-when the other party has
the strength why may they not also repeal
that part which is disagreeable 10 themselves
and thus the whole compact will be abroga-
ted, and all hope of new one destroyed by
the knowledge that neither can rely upon
the good faith Of the other. / hold it TO be
good rule that we ought 10 be very careful
how we make compacts, but once made TO
ABIDE by them firmly, fairly, and honestly.
This letter has been written in haste, and
amid constant interruptions, but hope
have furnished you with sufficient reason to
justify my course. Of one thing l need not
assure you, and that is, whether right or
wrong l an influenced by none but honest

lions which so often beset the politician, end

FIR II,
PeriHs of NAVIGATION.

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they do fires leave them
other resources. Ii is especially valuable to la
boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means-who, perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.
These should neglect to insure;a fire which
may visit them at any hour, would leave them
homeless. and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle of life and years Of toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever done
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
is worth little, the expense is less; if he owns
much property, still the expense istrifing, and by
investing few dollars he is safe. If he is over
taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes, he
receives a rccompense in cash capital equal to
his loss, and may soon restore what has been de-
stroyed. H.-
