WHAT H INFANT BY CANCELLATION.
That the Union is in fearful peril and will be
broken up unless something be done to save 1t,
is reiterated on all Sides with the corOlary that
the Republicans must eyince willingness to
Concede, and compromise, and give way to that
end. But that the Free States have any grley-
ances, or that the Slave States should make con-
cessions of principle no advocate of new Com
promise seems 10 suggest. That the North
should concede substantially whatever has been
liz difference between the Free and the Slave
States, and that the South should balance this
surrender by consenting to remain in the
Union--such is the fundamental idea of those
who clamor for the salvation Of the Union.
Thua, Mr.. Albert Rust of Arkansas leading
Douglas man and Unionst of the Southern pat
tern-after writing one letter in favor of maln-
tanning the Union at all hazards, writes another
(giyen in our last) which says:

demand for a complete surrender of all distinc-
