A LONG FAREwELL.-Messrs Slidell and Ben.
jamin delivered their vailed ctories to-day, and
exhibited great reluctance in retiring. Mr.. Sill
dell is New Yorker by birth, but has been
among the most insdous of the traitors engaged
in overthrowing the Government. No man has
appropriated the public patronage so sefshly
and audacously.
The Tribune correspondent says: We have
had two more tratorous haragues in the Senate
to-day, from Messrs. Slidell aud Benjamin. The
formsr declared that the South would, if neces-
sary, turn pirates and plumber Northern COM
merce. The latter flung his treason in the faces
of his colleagues On the floor with equal bodness,
and appropriately closed his political life with
the bold,st sophistry, in denying that money
was paid as compensation for louisiana
Neither alluded to stealing the revenue-cutters
or money in the United States Mint at New
Orleans.

DIscRIMINArIvE LEGISLATURE. - Upon mo
ton to amend the charter of Battle Creek, Mr.
Joy, of Wayne, made some most pertinent re
marks on Tuesday morning. He said, in reply
to the oft repeated exhOrtation to legisla,e foi
the Agricultural interest, and against Capital
that this false principle had swayed the formation
OF the presesent Constitution. The cry upor
which that instrument was framed, Was an ap
peal. open and undisguised, to organize govern
ment to the Encouragement Of capital - hence
capital had been discouraged and driven off. He
hoped that the time would come, when the Leg
slature could see the folly and the wickedness o.
such appeals. His remarks were forcible, and
were closely attended to.

stands with Michigan in refusing to send Com
missioners to Washington. Among the Free
States which have SENT are New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Vermont. Connecticut, Rhode

1t is not probable that Michigan will send
commissioners. Michigan will of course receive
the benefit Of all good that may arise from the

evil, that may spring therefrom. This is the rea
argument, although not one complimentary to

THE COMPROMISE CoNFERRENcE.-Fo Fourteen
States were more or less represented in the Com
promise Congress last week. John c. Wright,
of Ohio, was temporary President, and Benjamin
Howard, Of Maryland, Secretary. A committee
of one from each State on organization was ap-
pointed. John Tyler will be the permanent
President. The Virginia delegation will insis;
upon the resolutions Of the Legislature as an u
| timatum, and propose to request the President
| to withdraw the troops from this city as a pre-
liminary to any action by the Congress. The
answer to that suggestion, from the War Depart
ment, will be an explicit refusal. A majority of
the Congress will sustain the Crittenden PROPOSE
ton, or one on that basis, or a convention of the
States, as provided by the Constitution. The
delegates from North Carolina, Kentucky, Mary
