The warning of THE TRIBUNE against compromises
and compromisers, 10 timely and wholesome. Prob
ably the venerable Mr.. Crittenden viii make his ap
pearance q. Washington on the zth, armed with his
bottle Of Union Glue, aud volunteering his invaluable
services al mendng tho cracks which the rebel cannon
have made in the Constitution Mr. V1llendig CHAM Of
Ohio and few other Northern and Western Dsmo-
oats viii eagerly cooperate with him. AT the i'rst
signal the Conservative" press leo called will be-
gin talk of the horrors Of war, especially OF aler
nal strife" of the financial arrangement; of taxa
tion and decentralization, and all that sort Of thing
aud will try to impress the people the wisdom Of
making one more attempt at an adjustment" before
the breach between the two sections made irrepar
able But it does not seem likely that the Kentucky
Nestor" Gsnt that the they give TO every par
tculary foolish old y will be able TO sway great
many men, even from the loyal Southern States. II
the Mar yland and Kentucky, and Mseour Union
know their interests, they will be the ercest and
frmest for efficient aud prompt army operations
WheIe would Frank Blair and Frank Thomas be to-
day il the Federal troops were not occupying Maryland
and Missouri Flying like Etheridge and Johnston
from their homes hanging from the ancestral trees
on their own homesteads. Such men never have
any worse reputation among the Secession party than
they have, let them counsel what violent war
measures they will. We know we'll enough what the
enemy think Of Blair and that he has deserved all their
maledicions. judge by an article which have just
met with in The Frederick Herald that Ex-Governor
Thomas is almost as good man as Blair. That paper
says: He has been Black Republican for fifteen
years, and he is coercionist of the bloody
and relentless character, aye, uncompromsng and
narow-hearted in bis hostility to the South as Wen

see that the arm of the Government ia strengthened
and extended for the overthrow of treason for he may
rect assured that the moment Secessionisn gets the
upper band again, by battle or compromise, little
banging will be found good for him. Even Mr..
Crtenden might not escape. II is kindress TO the
old gentleman to iatter and encourage him. Northern
representatives should talk plainly and sincerely to
him, and not mind his tears and whimperings.
am now reminded to speak Of the election of
Mr.. Thomas in District No. Ill, the successor of
Mr.. c. r. Adams. He has received about 300 votes,
which is considerably less than Mr.. Adamss majority
over Mr.. Saltonsta last year. Tie C0uitr says the
radical Republicans did not vote for him. IL all who
refraned from voting radicals, that branch Of the
party must have good deal Of latent strength say
- 900 to Il O00 and it will behooye Judge Thomas to
consult their opinions if he desires any permanent fame
or In point Of fact, however, without radical
support the JUDGE would probably not have been
chosen. Ii was Alr. James freeman Clark who n-
duced The Republican Convention TO refrain from max
ing q nomination against him. and saved him from
close contest il not defcat and Mr.. Clark j. sup
pcsed 10 have radical tendencies. Moreover, Judge
Thommss strength consisted meiey in the reputation
given him by his speech at the bar meeting, which was
Of the most uncompromising character 80 far as the
maintenance of the Government and the thorough
putting down OF rebellion by force were concerned
There need be no apprehension ns to Judge Thomass
course in Congress. He will act with the Republican
members npon ell questions and II necessary support
the Administration with vigorous speech aud bold
counsel. The lack Of interest which the Republicans
ielt in lis election 10 due not mainly to diitrust of him
but TO the suspicious character OF some of lis friends
The Judge probably by this time that the
lionai array Of distinguished Hunker names which
rallied to his support in the primary meetings either
represented substantial popular strength on olse his
friends backed out, aud betrayed him on election
day.
see there is some talk of putting injunction upon
all newspaper reporters and correspondents, that
the people may not know what the Cabinet ana Gen.
Scott do, but only what the army is actually
doing; perhaps not that Now my notion is that
the Cabinet and Gen. Scott are quite as much in.
