"Wiii the Editor of the Jeffersonian con.
descend TO inform us where, or IN what re-
aolut'on, either the state or county Platform
seoommends compromising with the "RE-
sELsi'-I Hancock Courier.
With Q great deal Of pleasure, Mr..
Glessher. We recollect something
OF the craft Of certain politicians.
who banded the term "coercion, :"
until the fall of Sumter, when pop.
ulsr indignation made it unsafe to
use It any more and the term "com
promise" was substituted in its place,
and they harped on compromise. :"
II was the darling policy OF Vallan
dighan, COX, Il Co. "Crittenden'e
cOmpromise," or some other "com.
PROMISE" with the rebels, as urged
with . great deal Of pertinaci'y.-
The word "compromise" was in the
mouth Of every apolvgist for the
rebellion; but the people OF the loyal
states spurning the idea Of ''cornpro-
mise" with rebels, these "compro
mi.ing" politicians had to couch
teir scheme Of "compromise," in
other terms. In their State Conven.
tion on the 7th OF August, they do
not venture to use the word "com.
promise" but propose what ia the
same in effect: that is, the holding OF
. National Convention to 90 amend
the Constitution as to make it's pro,
visions acceptable to the rebels. 10
the county Platform. q still more ex
plicit policy Of "compromise," is pre-.
sented and that is "adiustinent."-.
Here It is:

cure the allegiance Of the Tebellious states.
and the unconditional submission of the dis
loyal people TO the Constitution and laws o f.

Here is "comprom SO" with ven

form to sufficiently amplify this ''ad'
justment" policy, to secure the sun.
conditional submission" OF tie rebels
That is II most sweeping proposition
to "secnre the allegiance Of the r,bel
states." Give the rebels all they ask
and you will have received the de.
sired point In the "adjustmcnt,"--
In this adjusting scale, the conditions
OF submission, are to be lowered un.
ill they receive the sanction of the
rebels. Mr.. Editor, you need not
try to mistify the compromising pol
icy Of your Platform by calling it

s.i3tothef Spear in his very amiable way
complains OF the Democratic Union Stale
Platform for dlsapproving OF the corruption,
incompeteucy, and fsvoritsm Of the "War
DepSSiments OF the state and federal gov.
ernments." DO you, Mr. Spear, approve OF
the corruption. incompetency, and favorIt'
