SENTIMENT OF TIE PRESS.


There s no man who preteni- to the gift Of common
fense who does not know that the secession drease
and the remedies proposed as wide asunder as the
poles The seeded States declare things, which
| they call reasOns for seeding, and the oOmpro-
nisers 20 TO work TO phyic for other complaint
Which has not the remUett connection with the
zion d The fact s there is no!hDg for the BOr
der Conference to do; and nothing that it do to
tonch the real plant Nor the Cotton States
state any real complaint; therefore there no
cessi0ns needed No CONCESSIONS cn be made that will
not establish the right Of any State to declare the Union
dissolved. Civil war would be light OWL compared
with this.
No cloak of speeiOus pretexts and explanations
hide the hideOns features Of this ard most mon
srous proportion. The slave.code Of Hew-AIexico-
frightfnl in is barbariy and tyranny than the
rule of any despOt earth--has been made public,
and our readers remember 1t. Honest men have shud.
dered TO think that country should be disgraced by
such laws in any corner of it's territory. And yet,
here in Connecticut, there are men who demand that
the Constitution Of the United States-the Magna
Charta Of our freedOm-sball be changed that IL
shall require in every Territory hereafter added to
domains the enactment OF such another infamous code
a. that Of New-Mexico There Is the whole question
in nutshell. The proposed Compromise i disgrace
TO the Governments it is an insult to the North-aye,
and TO all Christendom-snd, thank Heaven II can
never by any possibility be adopted. We need not
look to Massachusetts, or Wisconsin. The people OF
Connecticut will never vote for save-cOde like that
of New Mexico. They will never vote TO make the
Constitution esiabsh Slavery anywhere
From The Bangor whig and Courier Of Feb. IS
The new Administration will meet the dificniies
thus infarnously and Intentionally placed upon IL, with
determination TO perform its whole duty to the coun
tryto use every means which reachery has left IN its
power TO maintain the authority of the Government
and the Union Of these Statesto demand nothing that
is wrong TO submit 10 nothing but what is right IL
will favor no compromise that shall barter away the
vital rength Of the Government surrender the free
principles which lie at the basis Of our Republican
system.
From The Ebenhburg Penn AneEanian Feb. IA.
We beg the RepubhcaD compromisers to stay their
hand. We beg them not 10 tonsumnate the suicide Of
their principles and their party. The Republicans
masters Of the situation. Nothing is wanting but a
firm hand and steady rein, and most glorious aud
overwhelming triumph awaits Us. Secession will cure
self, and without war or ruin t0nuybody but those
70 peuinacously drag those evils down upon their
- beads. IL Is true The Government is envelOped in
, y but its foundations strong and immovable,
