SAILBoAT RACING.-The harbor Of New
York furnishes opportunity for the exhilarat.
ing contest of match races of sailboats. A
few days since the Commodore, of the Brook
lyn Yacht Club, and the Charm, of Glencoye,
were matched for a purse of $500 side.
There was any amounts of outside bets, which
rendered the race an exciting and interest
ing one. The betting was even before the
start b ut as soon as the boats shot off from
the stake boat the friends of the Commodore
were willing to give heavy odds. The course
was from a stake boat off City Island TO the
buoy off Matinicock Point and back; distance,
twenty miles. The Commodore led her an
tagonist from the start, and kept widening
the gap all the way, arriving at the home
stake boat full FIVE minutes ahead Of the
Charm. Time; three hours and half VIM.
Latham sailed the winning boat, and Henry
Smith the unlucky one.

following quotation, which is certainly indi-
cative that there are some in the "Bay State"
who are sound on the Union. The writer
says; 81 suppose you hear what time we
are having at Washington in regard to Sc
cession, etc. 1t is n pity we cannot hang

for the good of this class Of citizens II final
ly has come to the scratch, and hope the

Opposed to Compromise.

The San Francisco Times comes ont fatty
against any compromise on the part of the
Republicans in the present National crisis.
1t asserts that for the Republican party to
make any new concessions, would be moral
ly wrong, and politically impolite, and ma
tionally ruinous II also says
"The concessions demanded by the slavery
propagandists although conceded by Con-
ventfous or Congress, could not be enforced
in the free States. since they are repugnant
70 the moral religious, and political sense of
freemen and for one, speaking for ourself
alone, not assuming to speak for the Repub-
lican party, We say that the Union is not
worth preserving at such degrading price
We stand upon the Chicago Platform, and
abide the issue"
What is demanded is, that certain amend
ments TO the Constitution be made clearly de-
tining the rights given TO Shareholders in the
territories, and in the free States And as
we understand it, the only rights demanded
for the STAKEHOLDER in the free States are. that
he can carry his slave there without the risk
of losing them through the operation of any
State law; and also, that no impediment be
thrown i'll the way of the recovery of fugi-
tive slaves. Are these the Concessions
which the Times thinks would be degra ding
to the free States2 We suppose so since it
speaks of those States, and not of the Terri
tories The Times has long been known as
a radical Republican paper, opposed to any
compromise with what its party terms the
institution of slavery" But we must say,
that We were hardly prepared to hear even
from it, such an avowal as that contained in
the above extract from its columns. We
surely do not wish to misrepresent the Times,
but it appears to us that its position is just
this: 1t would as soon see the Union perish
as to have the Republican party grant the
demanded concessions. Is not this so? And
yet those who utter such declarations as that
of the Times, will tell us that they are not
sectiolal-but that they are working for the
good of the whole union inasmuch as they
are striving to prevent the extension of slave
ry, which they assert is great evil. They
appear to forget that others have rights as
well as they, and while they denounce the
violation of the Constitution and laws by
others, they give us to understand that Con-
stitutional laws ought not TO be, and cannot
be enforced in favor of the stakeholder. This
is the spirit of sectionalism, fanaticism, and
rebellion
