Aessrs. Hyatt and Army arrived here day
before yesterday, and have held conference
with Gen. Pomeroy. These gentlemen have
decided to establish relief depots at three
points in the Territory, as the only way to
reach the sufferers in the distant settlements.
Statements taken to-day by Mr.. Hyatt, from
the lips of some of the settlers, show that the
worst has not yet been felt. The calamity
becomes hourly greater. Forty thousand
people need aid now, and the number
increases constantly. Mr.. Hyatt has written
letter to the Kansas Legislature, urging on
them the propriety of Immediately sending
memorial to the Legislatures Of the several
States. =

The Critt cnden CclnprOmise Vs. ING
Missouri Compromise.

Many persons suppose the oi.''e
COMPROMISE and the Missouri CofhPf'n'''
o,o identical THIS is a great mistake. The
Missouri Compromise gave no sano''o-
s.avsrv south of SO 80, but expressly pro-
hibited slavery rth of that line IN 'err''o'y
,,,,,;rsd nv orr Government as slave territ 1ry'
The Crittenden Compromise, on the e'nef
hand, expressly establishes a;ad pro'ec'>
slavery south of So so, in all the remaining
territory which we acquired from Mexico as
tree territory, as well as in all the territory
which we may hereafter acquire from Mexico
which. under Mexican law, is now tree TERRI
tory.
The same proposition now presented oy
Crit,enden, in less Objectionable shape, iof
territory hereafter to be acquired was not
included. was urged by JEFF: Davis, in 1884,
and was met by Webster and Clay with an
indignant negative. In speaking OF this
proposition of jeff Davis, and the reply o'
Henry Clay, Thomas H. Benton, IN MS
"Thirty Years view," vol. ., page 74a' says.
"This was q manly decla alton IN iaVof 0,
extending slavery into the new territories ana
in the onl y way in which it could De done
that is to say, by act of Congress. Mr.. Clay
met it by declaration equally manly, ana 1;f, IN
conformity to the principles Of his whole me,
utterly refusing to plant slavery III any place
where it did not previously exist.
"These were manly sentiments, courage
ously expressed, and taking the right ground round
so much overlooked or perverted by others |
The Missouri compromise line, extending TO
New Mexico and California though astronom-
ically the same with that in Louisiana, was
politically directly the opposite. One went
through a territory all slave, and made one
half free; the other would go through terri
tory all tree, and make one-half slave MT.
Clay saw this difference, and acted upon 1t,
snd declared. his sentiments honestly anu
boldly; aud none but tho ignorant or UNJUST
could reproach him with inconsistency IN
the line in the ancient LOUISIANA
where the whole province came to US Win
slavery, and refusing it in !le new territories
where all came to US free

SLAVERY AND WORKING Men. - " tite
working men are asked to counteAance
slavery because it is species Of labor which
does not come in conflict with their interests,
being almost exclusively confined to the pro-
duction of sugar, rice and cotton. Strangely
enough, Ao.eyer, we ind that the chiSairy
are much exercised for fear Lincoln admin
istration will discourage slavery in the navy
yards and forts; and demand, as one OF their
conces ms. hat the institution shall not be
il .arfered with IN this respect. White labor
ers may rot be able to successfully cultivate
cotton under tropical SUE, but it is not pre-
tended that there is any portion Of the United
States where TIE white mechanic cannot labor
at his craft. Hence, for the sake of the
mechanic, we hope to see slave labor driven
from the public works, and tole'at only
where it does not come in conflict with the
free American working lnen.

eY. The fourth article of the Crittenden
amendment secures the right of transit for
slave merchandise through the free States.
The intention and effect OF this provision is
to fan.liarize the North with slavery, and
compel the people Of the North to enforce the
harbarous slave code, by which men are held
in bondage. Under its operations, the city
of New York will become the most extensive
dcnot of slaves in the universe. Slave com
mission houses and slave pens would flourish
there under the protection Of the Constitution
Of the United States.

John Bell, had held the doctrine that the
election of Lincoln would be q just cause for
the dss olution of the Union" John Bell,
who was 10 the audience, rose and denied
the charge Upon this, says the National
Democrat, ''the cheers rang again and again
through that vast hall, satisfying US OF the
predominant Union feeling in that assem-

mustered its strength" Mr.. Bell, before
he set down, expressed the conviction, that
all would yet be we'll with the Union ami
this declaration was received with great
shout of applause.
