A NEW COMPROMISE OFFERED FROM

From The Atlanta tGal toafedsraey, Jan L.,
The fact is undeniable that existing Difficult.
ties had their origin in the settlement OF the Ter.
ritories or the admission of new States into the
Union The Free States, from the very nature
of their population and habite, hive outstripped
the Slave States and hence the loss 10 the South
of an equilibrium in the Senate. Now, if this
equilibrium In the Senate could be restored to
the South, Hnd oil the Territories belonging to
the Government admitted ms States into the
Union, we believe ii would tend as much to settle
existing difficulties rs on arrangement VIII CHI We
think is likely to be agreed on, We think that
such an arrangement can be made to the salts
faction and honor of all sections
l. TO re enact the Missouri Compromise line,
and extent to the Pacific, making all territory
north Free, and all South Slave
2. The Free States, numbering Mt this time
eighteen, admit as States, Kansas, Nebraska
Pixies Peak, Dacotah, Utah, and Washington
This will increase the number of Free Stnes t.
/ iwenty-lour.
8. The Slave States, now numbering fifteen
should be increased by making three new State.
out of the territory of Texas, two out of Arizona
three out of the Indian Reserves. and two out
of New Mexico This will make twenty -foul
Slave States--exactly the same number with the
Free States, Thus the co iilibrium would he re
stored, aud there could be no further disturbanoi
about the admission of States, aud squanderiul
of public lands, AS every new State should, il
the event of the passage Of such au act, be en-
titled to all the public lands within its limits
Let, then, the North repeal her Persona, liberty
bills, and place no obstacles in the way of tn
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave law, and tn
country would soon be restored to its forme
happiness and posperty.

Congress is still considering and devisng ways

by the Senate.

The Critteuden resolutions although voted
down last week. were on Friday last made the

tons from all sections OF the country--numeT-

The bin for the admission of Kansas is nov

FROM our heBulAf Correspondent.
DOVER, JAN 10, 1861.
Ma. EDITOR:
After a vast amount of log-rolling
and caucus ballOting, the Legislature succeeded
yesterday, in appointing Dr. william n. lIamil-
ton, OF New Castle County, Auditor of Accounts.
and Samuel b. Hitch State Treasurer, neither
of these gentlemen being the caucus candidates
of their respective parties. The appointment OF
Auditor will, no doubt, give entire satisfaction
to the people of New Castle County, as he is
known to be universally popular with his parry,
and very competent to discharge the duties Of
the Office, Mr. Hitch, who represents the Anti
Salisbury Democracy of his county is nlso very
highly spoken of by those who know him
The Crttenden resolutions passed both Houses
on Thursday, but not until MIR. Tatun had
spoken on them 10 the Senate. Mr.. Tatum made
very clear aud iorcibls argument against their
passage. His principal point Of objection was,
to that clause in relation to territory to he ac-
quired in the future. Mr. Tatum has already
proved himself to be one Of the ablest members
Of either House.
There is very little important business before
the Legislature rs yeti very nearly all the bills
arc Of a private nature, and only interesting to
those who expect to be directly benefited by
them. FlDES.
