We are beholden to The ~ y. Times for lecture
very intense and correctional the subject of "the
Compromise Panic" The consistency of that journal
in sticking to facts and principles of course qualities it
to play mentor, and say what should and what should
not be uttered or adhered at this prodgous crisis in
our national affairs. In this elaborate castgation The
Times asks "IIas our Government indicated any
"cfauge of feeling toward the rebels :" and goes on
to prove that it is incapable Of compro-
mise. But in another article in the same number Of
that ionrpa on "The South Carolina Riots" il says:
"The South is yet to have proof that the Aduinstra
q" ton Is in earnest There Is apparently discrepancy
in these little CALCULATIONS, but We lot them pass in
their native innocence.

One OF the fruits of the recent visit in disguise
of Mes.rs. Hunter and Bayard in this vicinity is
seen in the following memorial which as we learn

To The honorable Senate and Of Representatives. Of The
United States.

These people are evidently go much in iove
with the present state Of things that they desire
to have it repeated every four years, according
to the Mexican fashion, after each Presidential

hold q different view of the case, and prefer to
have matters settled so that such o crisis can
