Who is responsible for the ousburst of
maiignity and treason now manifested in the
South? Who, more than ANYBODY else,
has contributed to it? Who, but those op-
posed to the Republicans in the late cleo

/" Union" press and speaker were incessant
in misrepresentipg the opinions and aims Of
the Republicans, and in insisting upon it
that the South would have ample cause for
rebellion, or any other violence, if the
Republicans succeeded. Where now are
those posses and orators? What are they
doing to gu II the storm which they have
raised; to bring back the harmony they have
disturbed? Some Of them are silent, skulk.

VnIrrINDrN's COMPROMISE.


". min, this document a. received by tele-
s,aph. Like all ether compromise schemes
Submitted BY tbs opponents Of Republicans
this one 10 bsssd entirely on the suppo'islon
that the North is the sole Aggressor. loo
S.u,b II asked to make no sacrifice whatever
the North is to acceds to all Southern
d.usuds-caich runaway negroes, or pay
for them; recognise slavery as existing IN oil
territory South Of 80 deg. 80 min. and pro-
sses IL a. property in n!l OF said Territory BY
ali depar,men,s Of territorial Government,
during ito continuance. All this from the
North, and nothing from the South not
.vsn that q Northern mans life shall be sale
IL h enter q Southrn State in the pursuit
Of either business or pleasure. We have no
heart for such compromise. Neither have
the people Of tho North, unless We very
much mistake public sentiment. Give US
soms,hing better than this, Msssieurs the
co,npromiss makers, for, notwithstanding
the secession movements Of tho Cotton
States, and the Disunion howlipgs OF North
eru Democrats, tbs Republicans are not yet
prepared to abandon every principle they
have ever profsssed-so accept every law
and every sentiment against which they have
hitherto p,ote..sd-to surrender all the
fruits Of III. victory they have just achieved
to hand over everything to those whom
sh.y have just defsased-to acknowledge
thai they are alone responsible for the evils
and danger tha. threaten the country, and
tina, they alone are to blame, not only for
vhs. they have done, but for what they are
falsely charged With intending to do Not
