~A Washington correspondent: Of

osrs OF the committee Of thirty three ia
the House, says:
Curtis, of Iowa, will Go all 10 hi. DOW.
CT to pour oil upon the troubled waters
What are We to infer from thiss Is
the Representative of the LIST District Of
Iowa willing to surrender any Of the
principles avoved BY the Chicago Con-
vent'on, to patch up another compromise,
to be broken whenever the South desires.
That ne " will do all in his power to pour
OIL upon the troubled waters" may
mean one thing, or j, may mean another.
We ere willing to do all in our power
TO pour oil upon the troubled waters"
and while we would not consider it in our
"power' to surrender any just principle,
It may be different with the Hon. S. r.
Curtis. Indeed, if we can judge from
the past, we fear he will manifest vii,
llngness to surrender to the fire eaters
all their unjust demands. We have been
credibly informed that Mr.. Curtis was
considered, by his Republican friends 10

"back bone," aud We fluid evidence OF

"The immediate peril arises from the
slaves having become Inspired with
vague no.ious of freedom A sense of
security no longer exists around the fam
lily alter. Servilc instruction is appre-
keuded. Many a matron retires at light
in dread Of what may befall herself and
children before the morning -fresi-
dents Message.
Why is it that "the slaves have be-
come inspired with the vague notions of
freedom? 1t is no fault of the Repub,
licans, surely. for they have never said or
done anything to "iuspire" the slaves
with such notions, and. if they had, the
slaves could never have learned it from
Republican sources. If the above state
ment is true, and We presume it is, those
Democrats and Democratic papers, North
and South, that have told the people Of
the South that the Republicans are all
I" Aboltionists," that " uanniba! Ham
lin is free negro and the like, are
responsible for it. The Democrats at the
South have said so much on the stump

of the free blacks and slaves, about the

imputed to them, that even the slaves
have vague notion" that massa
Lincoln will send an army to the South
and set them all at liberty.
II this statement of the President
shows the feeling at the South now, what
will be the feeling and the facts when
they have seeded, and the strong arm
of the Federal Government is Withdrawn
froa. their defense and support, The re-
suit is fearful to contemplate, and those
who lave Inspired with notions OF free
com, the slaves at the South. have a
fearful responsibility resting upon them.
The sooner they set about discussing the
minds Of our Southern friends as to the
principles and objects Of the Republican
party, the better it will be for all We
submit to the Democrat and Nc,rs that
it would be better for that paper, to stop
talking of % niger babies that never
were born, and devote its columns to this
work Of repairing the mischief that it has
aided to produce.

that Barrett was 10 the house, Weston

Barrett out to him, but when be had

the men having changed their position,
he was in doubt which Of the two men
who were sitting Oh or near the preach

therefore waited awhile for some one to
come in, from whom he could learn which

REMARKABLE COMPROMISE.

REMARKABLE COMPROMISE. - MIR
Sherman, Of Ohio, offered a sweeping
proposition in Congress, the other day,
to settle the slavery question in the Ter
ritories, and thus remove it from the
politics of the country. He proposes to
admit all the existing organized Terrific
ries as States into the Union, embracing
Kansas, Nebraska, Arizona, Utah, New
Mexico, Dacotah, and Washington, at
one fell swoop, by single act Of Con-
gress. BY Admitting these Territories
as States, the question Of slavery would
be confined to the people of those States
directly interested, and thus be kept out
of Congress and out Of the national poll

BEREAVED.

The silver cord in twain is snapped,
The golden bow! is broken.
The mortal mold in darkness wrapped,
The words funeral spoken;
The tfenb is built or the rock is cleft,
Or delved is the grassy clod,
And what for mourning friends is left
Oh! what is left-but God!
The tears are shed that mourned the dead,
The flowers they wore are faded;
The twilight dun hath yelled the sun,
And hopes sweet dreamings shaded, @H
The thoughts of joy that were planted deep
From our heart Of hearts are riven.
And what is left us when we weep
Oh. what is left-but Heaven!
