ALREADY SBrTLED.-The New York
Tribune thinks that any attempt to patch up
compromise is so much labor lost 1t COM
mcnts upon Senator Crittonden's proposition
as follows:
Mr. Crlttenden proposes to refer to di.
rect vote of tho people the question Of rccog-
nlsng slaves as property in all territories
South of 36 deg, 30 min. This seems to us
rather needless trouble The question was
settled BY the people on the 9th of November
last, after very long and able discussion, in
which Mr.. Crittenden bore distinguished
part. Does Mr.. G. suppose that South Caro-
lima has scared us SO that we shall vote differ
emily now? If he does, nc think he is mis-
tikcm. liia resolutions stand no more chance
oF being adopted by the people than he does
of becoming Prime Minister IN the new Cot,
ton Empire"
The work of Union saving docs not seem
to find mu favor in any quarter Just now
Tie SOuOi. IS a unit claims that the con-
tract which binds this Union together rccoc.
nizes slave property as fully as any other
kind Of property. The entire Democracy of
the North acknowledge this claim The Su-
prcmc Court has so decided it, The two
tre,ties with Great Britain at the close of the
two wars with her recognized the claim.--
None but an irresponsible political party
denies the claim, and that party comprises
only about onc-third Of the uotcys of the Re
public. If the dclnagoguos who have led
the Republican party thus far. still insist ON
Surrender of this claim by the South, and
thelreonsttucnts sustain them, then there is
no hope left for preserving the Union The
South cannot and will not surrender point
