body appears to have arrived at a dead
lock. The cotton states appear to be
firmly fixed in The discrimination of hav-
ing clause inserted in favor of slave pro-
lection by Congress i'll the territories, while
the northern and moro moderate delcga-
tons of the south oppose it. The fire
eaters threaten TO leave in body unless

the opposite party, although clearly in a
large majority, are more easily frightened
at this clustering than they ought to be
Judge Douglas, it appears, has telegraph
ed his friends to accept the Cincinnati
platform and Drei Scott decision, but not
to advance one step further; and this, we
