grounds they opposed his election TO the
Senate! Who so silly as to believe their
sincerity for moment?

ing OF sultry day:
VIII. The series of acts of the 3ist G ,ngrcss.
commonly known as the Compromise or Adjust
ment, (the act for the recovery of fugitives from
| labor included,) are received and acquiesced in
by the Wings of the United S ates as a final
settlement, in principle and substance, Of the
subject TO to which they relate and so far as
these acts are concerned, we will maintain
them, and insist on their strict enforcement,
until time and experience shall demonstrate
the necessity of further legislation to guard
against the evasion Of the laws on the one
hand, and the abuse Of their poweB on the 9th
er, not mpairing their present efficiency to car
fy out the requirements of the Constitution
and we deprecate all further agitation of the
questions so settled, MS dangerous 10 our peace,
and will discOunenance all efforts 10 continue
or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever,
or however made and we. will maintain Tn is
settlement as essential TO the nationality of the
Wing party and the integrity Of the Cncn.

awe would ask onr friend Of the Times if i
is manly to seek to raise o prejudice against
, Geo. w. Willard. as G usher Of The Iron Bank!
Is the position Of Cashier any m IRE or any less
than laudabel'
Why sir, we are not conscious Of try
ing to raise prejudice against "GEo
w. WILLARD" rs "Cushier of the lror
t Bank" We stated his connexion with
the Bank simply by way of illustration
In and of himself, Mr.. WILLARD woult
hardly be or sufficient consequence tc
get into the papers as having moved tina
!, ",his meeting adjourn" All there is o
} him is Fictitious. He owes his position
as Cashier of the Iron Bank, to his ALI
nnce with the Rag Barons. To the Hin
docs alone is he indebted for the Office
OF County Auditor. These academia
things constitute the whole man-hence &
we stated his title.
We have always understood it 10 b'
unmanly to attack woman, an aget
person, or child. We do not know
whether Mr.. WILLARD belongs 10 eithe
, of these classes, but if he does, we shall
with all humility, make due acknowl
edgments.
