The Montgomery Commissioners, Messrs.

of their mission to the Secretary OF State two

yesterday, but the Commissioners were in
formed that reply, would be sent very soon.
Mr.. Roman had not arrived yesterday, but

The letter of the Commissioners is said TO be
brief, and to express a desire for amicabie re-
lations between the two overnments 1t PRO-
poses to treat npon the subject of an equit-
able division of public debt and property. As
the reply will be made in day or two, 1t may
be presumed that it will be furnished to the
Senate. 1t is not expected that any PROPOSE
ton to enter into treaty stipulations will be
entertained.

THE ouAkEIEss WHO WAS 50 DESPERATELY IN
InNE


An amusing story is told Of the olden
time in New England. 1t so fell out,
that two young people became very much
smit,en with each other, (as young people
do) The young woman's father was q
wealthy Qlaker-the young man was re-
spectacle, but did not suit the father for
some reason. The father could stand no
such union, but resoutely opposed it, and
the daughter dare not Gisobey openly.
She "met him by moonlight" and pined
and wasted away. She was really in love
a state of sighs aud tears which women
oftener reach iu Imagination than reality.
Still, the father remained memorable.
Time passed Oh, and the rose on Mary's
damssk cheek faded She let no Soon
cealmen., like worm in the bud, prey"
however, but, when the father asked her
why she pined, she always told him.
The old gentleman was o widower, and
loved his daughter dearly. Had it been q
widowed mother who had Mary in charge,
. widows pride would have given way be-
fore the opportunities of daughter.
Men are not, however, stubborn in such
matters, and when the father saw that bis
daughters heart was really set upon the
match, be surprised her one day by breath
ing out, "Mary, rather than nope to
death, thee had better marry as soon as
thee chooses, and whom thee pleases'
And then, what did Mary? Wait till
the birds Of the air had told her swain of
the change, or until her father had time to
alter his mind again :? No; a bit Of it.
She clspped her neat, plain bonnet, on her
head, aud walked directly to the house Of
her intended. She want into the house
without knoeking-fOr knocking was not
then fashionable-an found the family
just sitting down TO dinner. Some little
cOmmotion was exhibited at SO unexpected
and SO unusual al apparition as the heiress
in the widows cottage. But she needed
it not.
John looked up inquiriugly. She walk
ed directly up to him, and took both his
hands in hers: "John," said she, "father
says may have thee"
And John got directly up from the din
ner table, and went to the parsous. 10
just twenty-five minutes, they were man
and wife.

A COMPROMISE AS IS A COMPROMISE.

The Montgomery, (Aiatama) Mail,
would be satisfed-and thinks the South
would-wish a compromise which should
contain the following articles:
MAKE fell and complete surrender of all
fugitive slaves TO the South, and also all that
are IN Canada. and pay two hundred dollars
per annum hire for the men, and one hundred
and fifty dollars hire Tor the women. from the
time of their escape 10 the nme OF surrender.
Surrender Immediately, dead or awe, The
confederates ot John Brown.
"Hang Lincoln and Hamlin on the same
sallows on which John Brown was.
"Cougress TO pass law making II treason
for any man TO introduce the subject ol slave
nv, either by petition OF Otherwise, INTO lis
halls, and make the punishment lmPrlSon-
menl for lie"
That is frank, moderate, and modest
reasonable, chivalric, aud constitutional.
If we should, for the sake Of peace and
union, concede to these mild and coDser-
va,iye measures, our Southern brethren
might be coptented for another four years
-(they having the General Government,
in the meantime, in their own hands, of
course) But, BY 1864 they would have
new demands, aud dissolve the Union"
if they we're not acceded to. We might
as well stop in our downward course, and
stand the shock, now, as At any future

Then and Now.

In 1882, General JACKSON relied main
ly upon his Wing oppouents-Senstor
WEBSTER aud General SCoTT to sustain
him 10 bis fierce coufiict with the Nullih-
ers. They maguanimously entered into
the common service, and effectually aided
the President in checking the designs Of
bis dislOyal party friends. Their manly
and patriotic devotion was honorable aud
successful, and was duly appreciated, Web
ster in argument, and Scott in arms, saw
that spectre Of dissolution disappear.
In 1860, President BUCHANAN also is
compelled to seek the support Of men al
ways bis antagonists. Buchanan helped
in the defeat of SCoTT by Pterce-but now
sollcits Scott to aid him il his dire con-
,royersy with his own trusted but taithless
friends. With all his true nobility Of soul
uubunted, SCoTT, in his old age, unminc-
full Of all the insults he has received, again
ngages in the service Of his country against
its internal foes. Buchanan fuds IN his
Republican, Douglas aud Bell opponents,
his bes, if not bis only supporters in his
feeble efforts to regard bis oath and sus-
tain the Constitution and the Union.
Thus-iu 1872, in the Cherokee and
Black Hawk wars, in the NuIIifcation aud
North Eastern boundary conflicts, and in
the Florida and Mexican contests-Win-
feld Scott has well won the title Of "Hero
Pacifcator" May be again prove worthy
Of that proud designation !.
But what shame that party malignity
was SO blind, and the country SO migrate
full, as to sacrifice such a man for poor
Pterce,' Had Scot, been honored as be
deserved in 1852, the Missouri Compro-
mise would have stood-kansas would not
have been stained in blood, and meanly
kept out of the sisterhOod Of States-and
Secession would not have found the food
i, has to sustain its pes,iferous existence ,

The Moral Law of Credit.

AS . general rule for just business
transactions, Gays the Boston Bulletin, q
person should never buy on credit that
which be consumes. A tanner may prop
erly buy hides on credit, for his labor
does not consume them, but gives an ad-
di,ioual value to them ; and the shoema-
ker may buy leather on credit, for his Ia
Dor too adds to its value. But when the
shoemaker has worked up the leather, it
be sells them on credit to customers, then
neither shoemaker, nor tanner, nor seller
Of hides has any direct valuable security
for the debt, which has progressed through
the different parties. The fnal product is
destroyed by its purchaser. So farmer
may buy land On credit, because his lsbor
on i; adds to its value he may purchase
growing stock On credit, because bis grass
crop is improving it. Bot when be goes
to q store 10 buy merchandise on credit,
which he consumes, relying upon uucsr-
tain crops and unstable prices to pay the
merchant, then be endangers his own se'
cur,y, and that Of the various classes OF
merchants who are depending on each 9TH
er. Capital, to be useful, must be en-
ployed; aud, as the labor Of most men is
their chief capital, their wants demand its
employment. If the creation Of debt
gives them sha. upon which they may
prof.abiy expend their labor, the debt is
q blessing, and for such = result only is
credit Q useful institution.

A California Decision.

A fellow named Douks was tried, at
Yuoa City, for entering miners tent aud
seizing bag Of gold dust valued Il; eighty
four dollars. The testimony showed that
he had been employed, and knew exactly
where the owner kept his dust that, on
the night of October 18th, he cut a sli, in
the tent, reached in, tOuk the bag, and ran
of. Jim Butler, the principal witness,
testified that be saw the hole cut, saw the
man reach in, aud heard him run away.
81 put for him at once" continued the
witness, "but when | cotched him, |
didu't fnt Bills bag; bu, i. was found,
afterwards, where be had thrown it"

did he ge, in when he took the dust p

The Jury brOugh: in verdict Of "guil-

waist up, and not guilty as to the other
half"
The Judge sentenced the guilty half to
two years Imprisonment, leaving it to the
prisoners option to have the "not guilty
Gu: of, or take it with him.-A judgment,
we think, worthy Of Solomon.
