On a recent occasion, we are told,
Tom Corwin made political speech
in Adams county, OHIO. Before the
platform sat one OF the Old Guard"
AZ they are sOmcti mes called-a Glib
erty man." in other phrase in
more common deception, an abolition
ist-who embraced the opportunity to
put souie old fashioned interrogations
to Mr.. Corwin, in reference TO the
Bible doctrine IN reference to the Flu
gitive Slave Law. Corwin turned
upon him in colloquial way and told
the story Of Hagar. He represented
her M SERVANT sidue-who hav-
ing a child by her master, which
event causing some little scandal and
disagreement in the famil y, As it some
times does, induced her to escape 70
the desert. There she held converse
with God, and, in the language Of
Corwin, "whxt did He advise her to
dos Why, my friend, he told her to
go back to her master. You, Cooking
the man in the eye in his inimi,ablc
manner, and with grimxce indescrib
ablc) if similarly interrogated, won.d
have advise | her 10 run for Udnado."
This story Is told rs having really
occurred, and il not true, is certainly
exceedingly Corwin-Iike.
THE Party OF CoMPRoMIsE.-The
Tribune of yesterday took great
pans to define its position. 1t has
no notion of renOuncing Kepnbll-
canism. It is up for all things which
uphold itself. 1t does not back
Seward, nor Banks, nor Fessendcn,
nor Fremont, nor all, nor any OF
those named with them as Presi-
Dental standard bearers for 1860. 1t
will take any of them. Especially
will it take Fremont or Seward. But
lis policy is one of general compro-
mise. ITO gain recruits to the Re
publican party" says the Tribune,
at has seemed to us important to
show that it il no personal party
that it is not devoted to the aggran.
dlzement OF any man or clique-that
it is ready to support candidate,
hitherto belonging to adverse organ
izations, it thereby its purpose can
be promoted" What is the "purpose'
which leads to this great spirit OF
compromise ? 1t is neither more nol
less than the very "irrcpressible con
flict" doctrine of Seward. For this,
The Tribune would yield anything
will join everything, will compro.
mise all bnt its own aggregated in
teres,s. 1t is well to bear this in
mind for the coming tlme." ". Y

SnGHrLy HARMONIOUS The lack
Of homogeneousness and of cohesion
in the Republican party, has been 9
frequent topic Of remark among those
who study the elemental principles O.
political organization. Made up 0
the debris Of several parties, it has nc
leading, controlling, governing code
upon which it's members generally car
agree, but contents itself with thu
pleasant occupation Of abusing thu
Democracy, while it's own presses enc
leaders disagree upon nearly every
leading principle of political economy
The latest illustration of this wan,
Of harmony in the Republican ranks, j,
seen IN the representatives of the two
leading branches Of the party, repre-
seuied by the Zri6ane aud the Post
on the subject Of protection. Tn.
former wants = protective Tariff, while
the latter, true in this particular a
least to ito antscedeuta. argues for fire.,
trade. Thus upon 4 great question o
goyernnsntal' policy. ths party u q
wide asunder a. the poles.
The Post Of "Wednesday evenin,
enforces it's doctrines by the following
pretty good illustration
