II the North should now, through the weakness OF
some If m sentative men, make new concessions
~ the demands OF the South the eae with which they
are ATTAINED will supply rule by which we can ex-
c,v measure what length of time will elapse before
heT are renewed and the increased proportions they
wifi assume next time. The Constitution OF tile nation
,sas framed by men who Stood toward the present
generation and with regard to the States as they now
Are In the light of impartial referees and il they de-
waited from this position IN the least IL must nave oteh
70 lean toward the interests of the Slave States,
which in their day were so largely In tie majority.
One of the chief and primary objects OF that Constr
lion undoubtedly was TO settle just such disputes as
the one which now agitates the whole country, ana
separates the two great sections IT, every time grave
differences arise, Instead OF applying 10 our ha'iohai

sbolish the Constitution altogether, and depend on
Conpress on Cabinets or Presidential dotards and

From The Houesdae PENN Democrat Feb. 81.
No compromise involving concession OF principle Ia
likely TO be made at Washington during the present
session of Congress. Mr. Cameron Is inclined TO re-
cede from bis position in favor Of compromise. C. NJ
Clay has entirely receded. 1t is safe TO stand by the
Constitution and the laws they All attempts to
make the Constitution over will prove ruinous
From The Dsnsville IN. Herald, Feb TO-
Although q half dozen States have received them
selves out there is no power that officials reoog-
uize them at Washington and it is the duty of the Ad-
niustraon to enforce the l.ws Of the United States
and protect the public property, let the consequences
DO what they may.
From The Toronto &C. W. Globe, Feb %
We could say much, il necessary, upon this In
sueuration of the President Of Republic based upon
human Slavery. The anomaly it exhibits ID strik-
ing that it need not be pointed out. Whether MIR.
Lincoln viii be able to end it is open to doubt Bot
this at least is certainty that not destroy ed by hui
man hands it will work Its own ruin. The existence
of a profcssedly Christ an ana civilized nation
sealers would be disgrace not only America, but
to the whole world, and however strong the
the men of the North take for breaking down, they
will no justified in the opinion of al civilized commu
mites and will confer inestimsbe benefit upon the
human race at large.
