THE COMPROMISE CoMMrTTEE.-<Amidt the
gloomy clouds which hang over the sky of
our Republic, there is bow of promise to
cheer US. This is the Committee of Thirty
three composed mostly of moderate, pa
triotic men, and presided over 10y that gen
ial, high-toned, and conservative statesman,
Thomas Corwin.> No better man for the
position could have been chosen in Ameri-
ca. Conciliatory, good humored, and in
huential, be must be indeed an unreasonable
member of the committee who can stand
out against any measure of adjustment
that Mr.. Corwin and his conservative col
leagues agree on.
We are inclined to think that a major
ity of the Committee will concur in COM
promise that viii be satisfactory to all
reasonable men in both sections. In that
case the few fanatics on either side will
have to be induced to acquiesce by the res
olute conservatives of their respective sec
tions, for the sake of the Union.5

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Dec. I5.-The New
Mexican mail, in. charge ofconductor Coon,
with dates to the 26th, arrived last night.
Mr.. Whiting, Postmaster at Santa Fe,
came through as passenger He reports
in New Mexico Also that the Indian
troubles on the plains are assuming a very
serious aspect At McNee's creek the mail
party was charged upon by thirty Camanchc
Indians and it was only by decided and
prompt action that they were not over
powered by them. The Indians were all
we'll armed with rifles. After OBTAINING the
mail about an hour they left.
The mail party then returned to a train
several miles behind them. The outgoing
mail was also forced to return to Pawnee
fork. Mr.. Whiting says that from the Sim
erone to Pawnee fork Indians were seen
every day on the high ridges, and there is
no doubt but they will cut off all small par
ties travelling the road since the raid of Mr..
Walker and the subsequent killing ofthe two
men that escaped. The citizens of this coun-
ty have organized themselves into patrol
companies, and should any more such
bands make their appearance they will be
summarily dealt with.

JEW AND GENTLE. Randall, of Wis
consin, in a proclamation for thanksgiving,
called upon all Christians to celebrate the
day. The Hebrew citizens of the State
feeling that the Governors proclamation
cut them off from celebrating that day, a
proclamation to the Hebrews was issued by
the Presidium of the Hebrew congregation
of Milwaukee, calling upon them to observe
the same day appointed by Gov. Randall
as day of thanksgiving.

DE~" Scribe " sends us another of his
very readable letters, which we publish
to-day. We must say to him, that he is
not one of those to whom the injunction
. be short will in justice apply. His let
tiers are models Of comprehensiveness, pith,
and strong common sense, and would be
read with interest were they three columns
long, for the simple reason that they would
contain nothing in the way of surplusage-no
matter but that abounding in solid infor~
nation or sound practical theory.

PROPOSED CoNvENrIoN. The Louisville

formal decisions, be held in Louisville, on
the 22d of February next Virginia, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mary land, Del

B9~ To-day we publish an article from
the New York Tribune and n letter from
Cassius NJ. Clay. The former takes ground
against and the latter for coercion by the
Federal Government, to keep Stat es
threatening secession from carrying out
their designs. These two articles, and the
letter of Robert Dale Owen against, and the
speech of Judge Morton for, coercion, pre-
sent the main arguments on this important
question, presented by able men.

WAsHINGToE, Dec. l4.-Lieut. Gen. Scott
has expressed the opinion that additional
forces should be sent to South Carolina for
protection of public property. The Presi-
dent, however, is still opposed to such in
crease For prudential reasons, being appre-
hensive that it would but augment the pres
ent excitement.
There was an understanding among the
select committee of thirty-three to day that
their proceedings, except as to results, shall
be regarded as private and therefore not to
be revealed. Ie is known, however, that
several propositions looking to political con-
ciliation were presented and read but not
acted on. Several gentlemen made speeches,
and opinions were interchanged. The
prospect of accommodation is about the
same as it was yesterday. In order to afford
time for consideration an adjournment until
| Monday took place.
The publication of the manifesto of the
Southern members has produced a depress-

withdraw or attempt to withdraw from it..
The Compromise Committee will probably
make report, which will be warmly,
excitedly discussed. Fierce words will be
used on both sides, and the period may be
sgnalized in Congress or out of it, by the
spilling of American blood by American
hands. 1t is to be hoped that matters may
not proceed to this dire extremity but the
prospect is that there will be serious trouble
There can be no dOubt that South Carolina
will 60 through the form of secession. Then
the question will be, what shall be done ,
If she strikes n blow at the authority of the
United States, force will undoubtedly be
used to resist her hostile attempt. If blood
be split, no one can imagine the end of the
troubles that will be engendered. If however
she goes no further than to put her trait
Orous thoughts on paper, and refrRins from
any overt act of hostility to the Union, thus
giving time for her people to see their folly,
all may yet be well. We fear that the fool
