For Compromise. Against Compromise

Ofcnurse in this list some are left out
whose political status never is known until
they discover which way the majority will
pursue A few doubtful gentlemen are
counted among those who are willing To
make accommodating terms with border
States, as they will undoubtedly be found
voting thus when a vote upon the sui ject
is reached. This class includes both Re-
publicans and Democrats who are willing
to accept some one or all the measures
that have been proposed. Those who are
set down as against compromise are those
gentlemen who by their words and votes
upon the few test questions that have
arisen have thus far exhibited disposition
to yield nothing to the Southern States,
or TO s'make concessions to the slave pow
er," as they term ii.
1t is not TO be presumed that this can
vass is strictly correct, but the result stated
is certainly not far from the present COM
plexion of the House. What effect may
be had upon members by events of the en-
suing week, before the end of which a vote
cannot probably be reached, cannot be
foreseen. Should the border States de-
mand more than has been already offered
them, the Anti Compromises will have
majority of the House at once. Should
The same moderation prevail which has
marked the past week in the House, almost
any one of the present pending PROPOSE
tions, except Mr.. Crittenden's, will receive
large majority of the votes of the House.
The political complexion of the Senate
is more doubtful and not so easily ascer-
tanned, but it is believed by the leaders
that large majority are now in favor of
any reasonable proposition for settlement
of our national difficuries.-New York

The Palmetto Flag.

The first attempt Of vesssl to enter a
foreign port under the flag of the indie
pendent Republic of South Carolina" was
made at Havanna by brigantine from
Charleston. She sailed in past the Moro
Castle with her "Palmello" flag fying
aloft. But Immediately, by order of the
officer in command of the fortress, she
was brought to anchor under the guns, and
kept there until the flag Of the United
States was displayed at her mast head,
when she was permitted TO proceed up the
harbor. We wonder what they are going
to do in Palmetto dom about this outrage
upon the flag in foreign port. This insult
ought to be avenged forthwith. A new
born nationality cannot afford to permit its
embIematic ensign TO be thus dishonored.

Position of the Representatives
from the Free States npOn the
Question of Compromise.
WAsBISeroS. Feb. 3. lS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 1861.
In connection with the Convention which
meets in this city tomorrow, your readers
will find much interest in a statement of
the the division of Representatives in Con-
gress from the Free States upon the ques-
tion of compromise. For the Crittenden
scheme there is not single Republican in
Congress, so far as | know, and very few
Northern men of any party. II is believed
here that the most of Northern readers
hold the mistaken view that Mr.. Critien-
den's plan is simply restoration of the
old Missouri Compromise of 1920. This
is far from true-for while the act Of 1920
merely prohibited Slavery north of SO deg.
80 min., and was silent with respect to it
south of that line, Mr.. Crittenden's plan
distinctly recognizes tine right of slavery
10 all territory south of the parallel of So
deg. 80 min, and in its present shape, ap-
plies the doctrine 10 all territory which may
be hereafter acquired-thus offering hea-
w premium to war and filibusterism for
slave territory hereafter.
The "Border State proposition" is the
The old MISSOURI Compromise, with the
addition of stipulation that neither Con-
gress nor the Territorial Legislatures shall
ever either introduce or exclude Slavery
south of SO deg. 30 min., but leave the
institution TO fight its own way in the
courts, and before the people wien they
come 10 form State Governments. The
proposition of Mr.. Adams, of Massachu-
sets, looks TO the immediate admission
of New Mexico as State, with such Con-
stitution as the people may frame at a
Convention next Autumn; also 10 the in
corporation into the Convention of guar
antee that the Federal Government shall
never interfere with slavery in the States.
There is little difference between the sup
porters of the Border States and the Ad-
ans propositions; and all who would sus-
tain one of them would sustain the other,
probably, if necessary to provide an adjust
ment of the pending national issues.
TIE following is statement, as nearly
as can be asceriained, of the relative
strength of the friends of amicable adjust
ment, upon the basis of either of the pro-
positions last named, or some other which
does not contribute practically to the ex
tention of Slavery or the humiliation of
the Republican party:
