THE FREE STATES OPPOSED ~ AID COM-
PROMISES.
From The Peru (IA Herald, Feb 6:
When the Southern States deliver up the common
property of the nation which they have seized then
will be time talk about compromise; but until that
il done we believe all attempts at settlement OF our
troubles will utterly fail and feel assured that all
compromises made in the present attitude OF tie South
will not be sanctioned by the Northern people Hence
all attempts in that direction will be labor lost We
are con,iuced that the only plsr by which perfect
adjustment OF our present difficulties be Effected Is
by carry ing out TIE provisions OF the Constitution as
now exists Give the Government full POWER 20 put
down treason aud rebellion and let the people OF the
North stand mp firmly to their principles
STAND FIRM We referred lsst week briefly to the
dnty of the Republicans Of New Hampshire, at tue
con ing election in view Of the circumstances OF the
country. If there ever was u time when II was the
duty Of party to stand firmly by their princpler that
time IL now. We to be beset on every side by
emoOth-tougued demagogues and whining hypocrit.s
o. sacrifice I'll maniness TO save the mon tlnld
men be appesled TO Ia solemn words and laehry-
nose tones TO enounce their principles ard 90 for the
Democratic patty-to save the Union Now the
Union il not 10 be saved by subscryi ncy. Mark that
II is time now, when we have won 10 proud VIC
tory To come down our marrow bones ana sue
for the Union. We allow nobody to outstrp in cur
love for the Unon-the thought thai il may be broken
up il To MS heartsic keningbut yet If it can only be
preserved by crawling at the feet OF the slave power
we ray decidedly il l. not worth preserving. Nothing
short Of this will meet the appreciation Of she Demo
cratic PARTY here They demand that We shall accept
the Crttenden proposition or something akin TO that

"Tpy CokKcIoN PoLIcY." This headline catches
orr attention wherever We look. There is just now,
no better abured word than Coercion The South
Carolnans who seize the Government fortihcations,
Custom House and Post-Oli,e, object TO " Coercion.
The Florida praes who steal all that comes in their
way won't be " Coerced." MssissipIiaus who point
cannon on the banke Of that river and arrest it's free
navigation, exchim against "Coereion." Ioombs,
who avcwed his treaton IN the Senate Chamber,
stormsd against A." Coeri ~ Cobb and Floyd, who
rlnndered the Treasury, are against Coercion
Thus sll who feel the halter draw " rail against
Coercion" The honse-bIeaker, cutpurse, and stab
ber excbim with equal earnestIess and Proprety
against " Coercion" No awbreaker is willing to be
Mr.. Buchanan reasoned well and wisely against
Secession ard took high ground for the enforcement OF
the laws winding up with the illogical conclusion that
we could not resort 70 Coercion
Now the Government must either fold its arms and
wink AT R.beli N, or il must deal other Govern
mebs deal with traitors. u must enforce It's laws III
these laws are obeyed, Coercion will not be re-
auired IL resisted Coercion must be resorted TO-.
From The Wc,itrn Star Lebanon o, Feb.
We hear men in the North talk about compromise.
" Compromise what Z" We ask them. What have we
TO compromise Have we not done our duty under the
Constitution II we have not, then We ought TO DO
II. We ought TO give our sister States in the South
every right that Con,ttuonaly belongs 10 them, and
we are willing TO do even more than THE. We are
willing 10 be generous, aud give them more than their
rights where It doee not infringe on our manhood But
ali this falls short far short, Of what even the most
moderate slave State demands. An entire surrender
of everything :" say they "or we will break up the
Government" Win the North submit TO these de-
nands, and will the South take anything less, are
questions which we think every observing mind has
answered In the negative hong eer this.
From The CAtodoo Tfbasf, FEB.
Which Is RIGHT The protested Republicans who
openly or covertly favor full and complete surrender
do In ha In a
attained One cass assert that the offer Of concession
means nothing-that the men who make IL al Washing
ton would really be the last persons in the world to
grant i-tat their sole object Is to gain time and avoid
Collision until Mr. ucoln shall have inaugurated,
after which they will hold very different language to
traitors from that embraced in their propositions of
compromise. The other class claim that To offers OF
compromise made III good iaih-that Tie gentlemen
making them precisely what they say, and that II
accepted by the South they prepared TO live up to
them.
Now, we would like to know which party L. right.
II the first then have 10 suggest that 10 engage III
fraud in a crisis like the present, even for svowedy
patriotic purposes, evnccs little statesnanship AZ
honesty II the latter, then we ash II fraud is not
beiug perpetred upon the people, who elected these
oomprumsers with the understanding that they held u
very different act Of opinions Which horn OF the d.
lemma will be selected
If the mail services be of little or no Naide-ii the
Constitutional obligation TO defend every Stae strong
or weak, is considered nothiDg-ll the pPt,y ~
much Wanted is likely to be more severe, when al
Fugitive Slave laws are then We ought
10 Consent and wish them God speed. But II terms
of their own dctaion are insisted on under penaiy OF
an armed oprosition by which the PLATFORM y Pr'He'-
