South can rally to turn baaR tho tIdt u secca-
Fon In those States He seems to urefer tho
propositions submitted by Dir. Adams Of Mas. |
sschqsetts Probably because they coma Al near
to meaning nothing at al, IS any compFo~
m4s propositions possibly can, Several Re |
p1nAcans who have been resisting the compro- |
mise tide with all their might AZ iminently dam
getoos TO the country and to the North, e1- /
press themselves as greatly shaken in their /
hopes of the armness~ Of the men OF the |
North since this request from Mr.. Clay. No |
man IN all the South has 80 much influence in |
the Republican party as ht-nonc have great |
or claims upon 1t. He is we'll known to be |
an uncompronising man. He 10 q man who |
asks no quarter and knnBa-no fear; therefore
he has great personal influence and political |
strength. Mr. Clay's theory is to save the
Union, then strengthen the government. Mr.
Loyejoy's ia to strengthen the government,
then save the Union. Thi1 Then Ii the differ
ence between the compromising and uncom-
promising men Of al parties. The mistake Of
those who would conciliate the border States,
BY sacrificing personal convictions, and by con
cesstons Of principles Of Government, which
II conceded, must ultimately be reversed is
TINT they do not look at the real purpose Of
the seceders and their allies. No concession
which does not reinstate the eSouthern Domoe-
racy and the slave power in their former po-
the next four years, will be accepted By them
as q settlement; therefore all such PROPOSE
ttons as have been proposed thus far, which
fall to protect slavery and increase it's political
strength, viii only demornnze,1hose who con
cede, weaken the Government, and make moro
clamorous the rebels to whom they concede-
Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and probably
North Carolina, Delaware and Tennessee will
remain as true to the Union without IN empty
concession as with one. Maryland and Ken
lucky will remain true at uli hazards, as evinc-
ed bY their refusal to call Conventions. Their

headed, true hearted, loyal people, where trail
tors never can thrive. Il then 1t is the purpose
| Of the slnve power TO take nothing less than
reconstruction, with increased slave represen-
| tation, territory and protection, and the Cot
| ton States fail to *tscare' the North into SO
great concessions By their own secession, they,
| With the aid Of traitors like Floyd, Wise and
| Pryor. in the border States, will drag all of
| .hcm into the vortex they can, fer the ultimate
| purpose Of forcing the North to concede
their monttrous demands, or accept the alter
native Of civil war. This, no observing person
can fail to ser, is the design Of the rebellious
traitors who have brought the present crisis on
the country. The question, then, for the loyal
men of the country to decide is, whether any
thing is to be gained by concessions which
| mean nothing, the only result Of which can be
| to weaken the NORTH, and lower the Govern
| ment in the eyes Of the whole civilized world.
With q view to prompt suppression Of pos
sible riotous proceedings in and about the
Capitol building, the police guard there has re-
Gently been doubled by direction Of thcspeak-
Ct Of the House Of Representatives and the
President of the Senate, The appointments
were made by DR.. Blake, Commissioner Of
Public Buildings, who must have been grossly
deceived by other parties if he had not the
distinct purpose Of contributing his mite to-
wards the project of placing the Federal City
Of his appointments are highly exceptionable.
t Ono member Of the new guard, q man known
as 'Lum Cooper" or Edelin, n,'-who holds
another position as lamp-lighter at 5000 per
annum, third as Eastern Canal Commits
stoncr," fourth under the Mayor Of Washing
ton at . salary Of $500 per annum, in addition
to his police appointment, at the rate Of 81 ,oSQ
! Der annum-ou0At TO be q good Union man,
when it pays so well Nevertheless, he floats
over his residence the American fay, from
which portion Of the stars have been stricken
to make room for the q Palmetto" Another
Of the new Guard was quite prominent, some
months age, in one Of the 7iotous clubs which
then infested the city. The executive would
do well to call the attention OF the Commits
sioner Of Public Buildings to the facts, and
sec that the cause of dissatisfaction Is speedily
| removed. :.
It is asccrtained that one Of the clerks it
the Departments, who is drawing full SALARY
of nearly two Thousand dollars per annun, il
now absent, on leave and attending College
| This has been carried on for . long time.

influences now brought to bear upon the me1
OF the North that there is imminent DANCE
that should Congress come to vote upo,
either Crittenden's, Adams or Ethridge's pro
positions, they might pass. Such We earnest|,
hope, in the present state Of affairs, will no
be the result. One thing, however, you cal
rely npon-1linois, portion Of Ohio and In
diana, Wisconsin and q majority of The Eas
and New York, will stand as firm against sue
propositions as the Everlasting hills" upo1
which the Capitol Of the nation rests. The
will hold no par1ey with rebels, traitors IN
rioters and make no concessions under threat
. | nor compromises with the sword.
