NO COMPROMISE.


We cautioned the public yesterday against false
and unreliable telegfaphic dispatches from Wash
ington. To suppose, for instance, that any propo
ston coming from Henry Winter Davis would be
accepted by the true Representatives Of the South
at Washington, is to suppose an almost impossible
circumstance. IN fact, tho nlotnbers of Congress,
from neither section, have power to commit their
constituents to any compromise. Northern mem
bcrs lave right to tell their people to do OF not
| to do, any specified thing have Southern Re-
personalities the right to say that any compromise
will be acceptable to their constituents. The voice
of the N0rth was heard at the November election,
and the sentiments Of the people have not changed
| since-and the Southern member will rue the day
that he pledges his people to any patchedup com
| promise, concealing beneath fair exterior the
seeds of Southern degradation and ruin.
We say that the sentiments of the Abolt0nists
| have not changed since the November election.
They are as truculent and defiant ever. IF they
were to proclaim publicly change of opinion if
| they were to consent to make concessions to the
South, it would be an act Of hypocrisy, designed
| to inycigle the South into new compact, so that
an opportunity might be had to tighten their grasp
| upon US. Their minds made up to snbduc the
South if they can-and if they agree to any COM
! promise, it will be from considerations Of cXpedi-
ency alone, with no surrender of their ultimate
hopes and purposes.
But, whatever the leaders may say, there is no
evidence OF concession on the part Of the masses
of the people. We iad in the Louisville Courier
report Of a meeting at Indianapolis in the State &
Indiana, pQrticipatcd in by persons from all parts
of the State, at which the late brutal speech of
Senator Wade, Of Ohio, was fully endorsed, and
war to the knife was declared against the South
ern people. The Courier eays that resolutions
were passed, declaring, among other things:
l. That it is treason for the slave States to with
| draw from the Unlon and ell engaged il any "at

a loving spirit of fraternity and neace! These
peonle declare that if a. State even n{tcfp,t TO Sc

| for treason. They declare that M concessions
ought to be made and no point surrendered; and
that their citizens when in the South onpht to he
protected bv Congress- no matter how insnrrpcton-
ary and revolutionary NAV be their conduct. Does
ANYBODY need more proof of the irprain and I'M.
diving hostility of these people to the South? Does
ANYBODY suDpose that apy COMPROMISE made with
them won,d he aupht else than hollow truce to he
broken at anv moment, the South reapinr all the
